oh ya....i forgot....to verify this....turn off all the extents for the parts and just pick them and place them....if they are very close to where they should be then it is the quad align causing the problem....this is how you can verify it. Copy the

As I continue to add more components/feeders to our assembler, I add a new laser align extent for every pick. But if components are standardized (like 0805, SOT-23) is it necessary to have all individual extents or just an extent for each type? Thi

Parts that are the same size can share the same extent #. If you are placing 100 different 0805 components you will need only 1 extent.

Yes, what you are thinking is correct. Assuming an 0805 capacitor parts that are picked from the front and back of the machine will be picked at 0 theta. Parts that are on the left or right will be picked at a 90 theta. This way they can all share th

Thanks for the answer, RLM, I couldn't find anything in the manual that was helpful. If I use a common extent for each component type, I need to identify those components that may be turned due to the feed type (tape, vibe). Is this where I would d

Sorry about taking so long to respond.......The quadalign is a retrofit. You cant just buy a quad-align and mount it on the machine. There is different firmware,cables,and other stuff. Good luck

You got it. You are aware that Quad defines the theta by steps. 0 = 0, 90 = 6000, 180 = 12000 and 270 = 18000.

Sorry but I have never worked with a machine that has the Cyberoptics system. Have you tried talking to PPM (www.goppm.com), They have been very helpful to me.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bobpan. I'll start looking for a replacement coax cable. Would we be better off to look for a Quadalign system and replace the Cyberoptic unit? Doug

OK, understood. In the case of SO14, I have some in vibe feeders and some in tape. The tape parts, when I set the extent up, would be picked at 0 Theta, because the part length is parallel to the Y axis. The vibe parts, which are perpendicular to
