| Is there anyone know where to get information on PIck & Place equipment Program optimisation ( to improve the speed of component placement for boards). Thank you | Program optimization usually includes set up optimization for the feeder table(s) and placement path optimization. Both are specifically made for a particular machine type with its specific timing for pick up ( feeder advance ) X-,Y-,Z-,D- axis timing and other factors like nozzle change a.s.f. Most machine supplier sell their optimization software as an option, for some it is an integral part of the machine software and can't be even turned off ( which may be a problem, if a certain placement sequence is required ). Besides the machine vendors there are a few software houses supplying optimization software, I had contact with two: www.unicam.com and www.adopt.at.com
