Conveyor
The QX500 receives panels from the upstream conveyor using SMEMA signals to control the
timing. The conveyor transports the panel without stopping until it reaches the exit. The image
is captured while the panel is traveling downstream.
When the inspection is complete, the machine releases the panel to the downstream conveyor
utilizing SMEMA signals for timing. The conveyor contains the major components described in
the following table and shown in Figure 21 on page 23.
Conveyor Belts The conveyor has belts on both the front and the rear rail to
move panels in and out of the system.
Drive Belts & Motors Provide electro-mechanical drive for the conveyor and for
the automatic width adjustment.
Panel Sensors Entry/Exit Sensors: located on each end of the conveyor
these sensor detect panels entering and exiting the
conveyor. Sensors work in conjunction with SMEMA to bring
boards in.

By default, the QX500 system loads panels from the conveyor to the left of the machine and
unloads them after inspection to the conveyor on the right side of the machine. You can change
the direction of panel flow by accessing conveyor settings using Inspector Cell Editor.
4. In the Miscellaneous conveyor settings section, select the direction of the conveyor motion.
• Left-to-right means that the upstream machine is to the left of QX500 and the
downstream machine is to the right of QX500.
• Right-to-left means that the upstream machine is to the right of QX500 and the
downstream machine is to the left of QX500.
Right-to-left conveyor motion will impact cycle times because the QX500 system can only
acquire images by indexing from left-to-right. When running in the right-to-left direction, the
panel is loaded from the conveyor on the right side of the machine, brought to the left side of
the machine, homed, then indexed left-to-right before being inspected and unloaded to the
conveyor on the left of the machine.

Conveyor Adjustment
The QX500 conveyor consists of a fixed rail on the operator side of the machine and an adjustable
rail on the opposite side. CyberOptics recommends that you adjust the conveyor automatically using
the QX500 software. For instructions, refer to the “Wiring QX500 for Power” on page 43.
The QX500 conveyor is controlled by inputs from the sensors. The conveyor moves forward until a
sensor is triggered signifying a panel is present. The conveyor then continues to transport the panel
in a forward direction until an image of the panel is captured and the software has finished inspecting
the panel.

4. Turn the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise to make the conveyor width wider.
Conveyor Adjustment
You should always adjust the conveyor automatically using the QX500 software application;
CyberOptics strongly advises against adjusting the conveyor manually with the crank handle. If
the conveyor is manually adjusted, the conveyor must be sent to the home position to be reset.
You should manually adjust the conveyor only if there is a problem.
You can automatically adjust the conveyor width in the Calibrator, Inspection Cell Editor,
Assembly Editor and Inspection Station. When you adjust the conveyor width, you must ensure
that there is sufficient clearance between the conveyor rails and the edge of the board to
accommodate normal variation in board width.
Homing the conveyor resets the conveyor to its widest cross-width position. If you have
manually adjusted the conveyor width, you must re-home the auto width motor using the
Conveyor Width Adjuster dialog box. As best practice, CyberOptics also recommends that you
re-home the conveyor engaging the Emergency Stop button or defeating the safety interlock
switch to resynchronize the stepper motor controller with the QX500 system.
2. Remove any boards from the conveyor and shut the doors of the QX500 machine.
Note: If you open the upper door at any time when you are adjusting the conveyor width, you
must restart the stepper motor controller again after you close the door and before interacting
i further with the QX500 software. To restart the stepper motor controller, press Reset/Start
button. If the stepper motor controller is working, the green lamp on the signal tower will illuminate.
7. Verify that the machine is in Off Line mode and that there are no boards in the machine and
then click OK.

Backing Up Data
It is possible that the hard drive may fail due to wear and tear and hence it is important to
backup the key data files so that data can be recovered and the impact on production is reduced.
If possible, the entire D:\QX500 folder must be backed up as this preserves the entire content of
the QX500 application and ensures data recovery close to 100 percent. However, this requires
a minimum of 150MB of disk space on a newly installed system and can increase to several

If the entire Drive D where QX500 resides needs to be backed up, CyberOptics recommends that
you examine the following folders before backup.
Folders/Files Reason
FullResults Contains the full inspection results. If the operator has reviewed all the
defects produced so far, it is usually deleted after review (depending on
system properties settings).
If the system is not setup to delete these files after review, the content can
be huge. Hence, you need to decide if the entire content needs to be
backed up or not.
XML Contains the full inspection results in XML format and can be huge. If
Process Insight is used to extract data from this folder via XMLWatcher,
this folder is usually small (if XML watcher is setup to delete these files
after extraction) and its size is not a concern. However, it is recommended
that you do a quick check to ensure the contents before creating a huge
backup.
Results Contains results which is used mainly for statistician and does not need to
be backed up, if you are not performing GR&R studies.
images Contains board images. This folder need not be backed up unless
required.
