MEMO:
1. Safety Guideline
Fuji machines are designed and produced with safety as one of our main considerations.
However, even a perfectly designed machine can be damaged, or someone can still be
injured if the user does not follow the safety rules. It is the responsibility of the user to make
sure all safety rules are followed during operation and maintenance.
Be sure to read these safety rules before operating the machine. Keep this manual close
at hand when operating the machine.
Symbol Definition
Failure to observe this hazard warning will lead to severe
DANGER injury or death.
Symbol Explanation
Hazard
A triangle is used to draw your attention to a hazard. The symbol
inside the triangle indicates the nature of the hazard (in this case,
electrical shock).
Prohibition
A circle with a diagonal line is used to draw your attention to an
operation that is prohibited. The symbol inside the circle indicates
the nature of the operation (in this case, disassembly).
DANGER
Do not approach moving parts during automatic or manual
operation
WARNING
Do not insert hands or other body parts into the conveyor
inlets
WARNING

The feeder setup guidance screen displays the feeders which are required for changeover.
Feeders are listed in order of priority as shown below.
• Feeder which are included in the alternate feeder group but are not yet ready for
production.
• Feeders which have the same priority are displayed in order of slot number from
lowest to highest.
The feeder allocation list screen displays the slots at which feeders need to be set. The
screen can be changed to display information for all feeders by pushing the up and down
arrow keys.
Note: Follow the procedures displayed on the guidance screen to perform feeder changeover. It
is also possible to perform feeder changeover during production. Procedures for loading
and unloading tape feeders are shown in this section. The same procedures can be used
for stick feeders.
Procedures differ depending on whether or not Fujitrax Verifier is used. If Fujitrax Verifier is
not being used, verify that a parts out condition is displayed at the machine operation panel,
and then skip to step 5.
1. Verify that a parts out warning is displayed at the machine operation panel, the status
screen in Kit Manager, or the parts status screen in Kit Handy.
2. Prepare a parts reel containing the same parts as the parts that are currently being
placed. Set the new parts reel in a feeder.
3. Use Kit Manager to create an ID, or use Kit Manager or Kit Handy to perform quick
verification. (The machine will check the parts type once the feeder has been inserted
into the device pallet).
Note: When using AVL data, be sure to create an ID if the new parts have a different part number
than the current parts.
4. Verify that a parts out condition is displayed at the machine operation panel, the status
screen in Kit Manager, or the parts status screen in Kit Handy.
5. The feeders on which parts have run out are located in the slot positions where the LEDs
on the front cover are red. Locate the feeder with a red LED and pull up on the clamp
lever as shown in the picture below to raise the feeder clamper and disconnect the
feeder power.
Note: Do not remove a feeder that has a green or yellow LED lit. A collision could occur between
a nozzle that is picking up parts and the feeder thus causing damage.
6. With the clamper raised and keeping the feeder level, slide the feeder backwards to
remove.

The method for setting feeders is the same as setting on feeder pallets. Correctly insert the
feeders into the feeder slots for the tray unit-LT/LTC.
If trays replenishment is completed for one magazine and production can be continued, a
pictogram to indicate that feeder replenishment should be performed first is displayed.
Push the left arrow button to display the feeder replenishment guidance.
In order to use the dynamic alternate feeder function, Fujitrax Verifier must be used.
Two different modes can be selected when using dynamic alternate devices. Settings for
the modes are specified in Fujitrax.
Setting Description
Look For Removable The alternate feeder can be used when a condition such as
a parts out warning occurs for the feeder currently being
used in production, or when a problem occurs during parts
pick up.
Keep Alt Feeder The alternate feeder can be use regardless of the condition
of the feeder currently being used for production.
2. Prepare a parts reel containing the same parts as the parts that are currently being
placed. Set the new parts reel in a feeder.
3. Use Kit Manager to create an ID, or use Kit Manager or Kit Handy to perform quick
verification. (The machine will check the parts type once the feeder has been inserted
into the device pallet).
Note: Create a different ID if the new parts have a different part number than the current parts.
4. Set an alternate feeder for which verification has been performed into an empty slot on
the device pallet.
5. Check the feeder set LED for that position. If it turns green, verification was completed
successfully and the feeder status is changed into an alternate feeder.
6. Once the original feeder runs out of parts, remove that feeder and the machine starts to
use the alternate feeder. After the feeder is removed, the LED for the alternate feeder
changes to red and the feeder must be removed (it becomes a “removeable feeder”).
Note: If multiple dynamic alternate feeders are set for the same part, the status of all of the set
feeders becomes “removeable”.
Caution: When removing feeders, it is essential that the clamp lever is raised all of the way and kept
in that condition when the feeder is pulled out. If the clamp lever is not completely raised,
it is possible that the power to the feeder is not disconnected. If the feeder is removed with
power still being supplied, the connector can become bad and the internal feeder board can
be damaged.
From this point, procedures differ according to the mode selected for dynamic alternate
devices.
01SYS-0146
Caution: When there are multiple alternate feeders, only remove one of the alternate feeders. If two
or more feeders are removed, the feeder guidance will not display correctly.
2. Set the removed alternate feeder in the original feeder position. The feeder set LED
turns green if verification is OK and production can continue.
Note: When removing the alternate feeder (removable feeder) and setting in the slot for the
original feeder, make sure to perform this within the [Miss Prevention Timer] time limit set
at the Central Server. If the action is not completed within this time limit, the feeder status
becomes "No ID" and the feeder must be verified again before it can be used.

Note: Replenishment is not completed just by removing the empty tray and then pushing OK.
2. Production is resumed once parts for the first tray unit have been replenished, and a
single side is still waiting for parts to be replenished.
Note: in the example diagram above the parts "X" were the first parts that needed to be
replenished.
3. Guidance for replenishing parts for the other side is displayed in the operation panel.
Resupply parts according to the displayed guidance. Once all of the parts for the other
side have been replenished, parts replenishment for both positions is completed.
If the operator wishes to continue production with the current parts for a reason such as
production for the current job is nearly completed, then move the parts from the tray unit-M
position that was not the first to require replenishment (position B in the example) into the
tray unit-M position that was first (position A in the example).
After setting the trays, specify the pickup point for the moved tray and then push OK. For
details, refer to section " 4.10.3 Setting the pickup position " in this manual.

Check the list below for the item that is non-functional. It is possible that this function cannot
be used depending on the non-functional item.
If one of the items in the "Can be used" list is non-functional, follow the procedures below
to prepare the machine, and then restart production.
1. Check inside the module for any panels. If any panels are present, use the manual
mode panel removal command and remove the panel.
Note: If it is not possible to use the manual mode command, then use the remote command from
Accessory Software to unclamp the module and remove the panels.
2. With the non-functional module pulled forward, turn off the main switch in order to turn
off the machine.
3. Open the job for production in Fuji Flexa and distribute the parts allotted to the module
with the non-functional item to the other modules and save the job.
Note: If the job is to be optimized, do not select the [Reallocate Feeders] option. If this option is
selected, it is possible that feeders will be assigned back to the module with the non-
functioning item.
4. Turn on the main switch and wait until the modules boot and then automatically enter
sleep mode.
5. Start Accessory Software and select the desired module from Floor Monitor and then
click the module name to the left of the picture. A log on page displays.
Note: For paired M3(S) modules, specify conveyor only settings for both modules in the pair.
7. Enter a password for the selected user and click [Log on]. If the log on is successful,
the machine accessories page is displayed with the previously selected module already
selected.
8. With the desired module selected, click [Module Configuration] from [Menu]. The
modules settings page is displayed.
9. Select [Breakdown Operation Settings] from the [Category] drop-down list and the
settings for that category are displayed.
11.Click [Send to Machine] and the settings are sent to the module.

b. Dual lane production using lanes 1 and 2 can be performed for panels with a width
(Y-direction) of 280.00 mm or less.
d. Production can be performed for the same job at lane 1 and lane 2.
b. The head types for paired modules must be the same. Collisions between nozzles
and previously placed parts are possible if production is started with different head
types in paired modules.
c. Paired production is possible only when the two modules are surrounded by
seamless covers and/or the side cover. Paired production is not possible between
M3(S) and M6 modules (only M3(S) module can be paired) or when the seamless
cover is between the two modules.
Job
a. The job must be optimized.
b. There must be placing sequences for each module in the pair. It is not possible to
start production if one of the paired modules has no placing sequences. If no
sequences are allocated to one of the modules when the job is optimized, refer to
item 3 of the "Cautions when creating the job" section on the next page.
c. When using NXT V4.53 or earlier and there are three or more fiducial marks set, it is
necessary to specify settings so that all fiducial marks at each module are referenced
during placing sequences.
Part 1
Mark 2 Mark 3
Part 1
Note: It is necessary to manually change the reference mark settings if the results of optimization
are similar to the incorrect example shown above. It is possible to perform production in this
case from NXT V5.00.
Unsupported functions
a. For paired module production, the panel loading retry function cannot be used when
a fiducial mark reading error occurs. If there is an error when reading fiducial marks,
an error stop occurs for the machine.
c. Manual mode commands are not supported for paired modules. It is necessary to
operate both modules simultaneously.
2. When performing dual production, it is necessary for the settings listed below to have
the same values for jobs in lane 1 and jobs in lane 2.If the values are different, delete
the job which was transmitted first but leave the job which was transmitted last.
b. Head type
c. Stage type
• Alternate feeder
3. The job must have placing sequences for both paired modules. However, if no
sequences are allocated when the job is optimized, then part data for a dummy
sequence should be created. It is necessary for feeders to be set for the dummy
sequences, but no reels are needed for the feeders. Although no parts are placed for
dummy sequences, the machine performs the motion of pick up and placement, so there
is a negative effect on throughput. It is possible to prevent a negative effect on
throughput by skipping the feeder which is used for the dummy sequence. However, it
is necessary to skip the feeder every time that the job is changed. Procedures for
creating a dummy sequence are listed below.
• Assign coordinates for the dummy parts anywhere within the relevant module.
1. Push CYCLE STOP on the operation panel for the module in question.
2. Start MEdit and select [Device skip] from the [Tools] menu and then select the slot to be
skipped for the module.
4. Press START to restart production. The panels are then completed without the part in
question.
1. Push STOP at the module in question and wait for the panel to be unloaded. Otherwise,
cycle stop the previous module, wait for production to be completed and all panels to be
unloaded from the module and then push CYCLE STOP.
2. Start MEdit and select [Device skip] from the [Tools] menu and then clear the skip setting
for the selected slot.
4. Press START to restart production. The panels are then completed with the part for
which the device skip was removed.
Skipped holder
NXTOPE162E
Cautions
a. Recovery processing occurs for parts that were supposed to be placed by the
skipped holder. Therefore, the skip function reduces throughput compared to normal
production.
b. When skipping a holder due to a holder failure, verify that the other holders are
operating normally.
c. The nozzle in the skipped holder is returned to the nozzle station. If the nozzle
cannot be returned to the station due to some failure, remove the nozzle by hand.
Procedure
1. If START has not yet been pushed and the main screen is displayed after turning on the
power, push START to turn on the power to the head.
2. Push CYCLE STOP to stop the module. Wait until the main screen is redisplayed.
3. Start MEdit and select [Skip Holder] from the [Tools] menu and then specify the holder
to be skipped.

In addition, a feeder which has not had maintenance performed cannot be used in
production even if verification of that feeder is performed.
Note: The Fujitrax option software, Advanced Maintenance, must be installed and used in order
to use this function. The feeder blocking function is supported from NXT V3.01 and later.
Procedure
1. Start Advanced Maintenance and select [Options] from the [Tools] menu and then select
the [Conditions] tab. Specify the desired conditions at which maintenance needs to be
performed for feeders.
2. Click the [Others] tab, and select the checkbox for the [Do not allow use of feeders that

01SYS-0279E
Procedure
Run the optimizer in Fuji Flexa to allocate parts to modules with H02 heads. The machine
will determine the appropriate nozzle configuration for production.
When using single nozzle operation, the nozzle that is not being used is moved to the
retract position. If there still is a possibility of interference even with the unused nozzle in
the retract position, then the unused nozzle is returned to the nozzle station.
Note:
1. When using 2 x 2 nozzle operation, large parts are allocated to holders A and C, and small
parts are allocated to holders B and D. This allows a maximum of 4 holders to be used
(based on the results of optimization, there are cases when 4 holders may not be used).
2. 2 nozzle operation is when parts which are slightly too large for 4 nozzle operation are
allocated to holders A and C only (the largest nozzles are used at these holders) and
production is started.
3. Part size is the vision processing size (body size + lead length).
4. The vision processing center and the area considered for vision processing are based on
the pickup position. Therefore, if a pickup offset for X and/or Y have been specified, these
values must be used in calculating the part size.
[Vision processing part size X(Y)] = [Part size X(Y)] + ([Pick offset X(Y)] x 2)
Procedure
Allocate parts within the above listed size range to a module with a H04 head installed, and
run the optimizer. The machine will determine the appropriate nozzle configuration based
on the part size.
Limitations
When 2 nozzle operation is being performed and nozzles with a diameter greater than or
equal to 10 mm are set onto holders B and D (holders B and D are not used during 2 nozzle
operation), interference may occur with parts picked up by the nozzles set on holders A and
C. In this case, the type of operation will change to 1 nozzle operation.

holders are skipped, production is not possible. Do not skip all the nozzles for A, C, E, G,
K, and I holders during six nozzle operation with a H12(S) head.
Note:
1. Multiframe imaging cannot be performed when using pair module production. For this
reason, the maximum part size that is supported for pair module production is 38 x 45 mm.
2. Prerotation is disabled for parts using multiframe imaging.
3. Part orientation checking is not performed for parts processed using multiframe imaging.
Cautions
When using a tray unit-L, be sure to note the following points.
b. Under certain circumstances, it is not possible to set some tray sizes in subslot 1.
(See the drawing below.)
Parts camera
252 mm
Trays that extend beyond the 252 mm limit will lie in the
interference area so the tray height has to be 22 mm or lower.
c. From NXT V3.42, the limitation on the trays with a thickness exceeding 22 mm as
mentioned in the above points "a" and "b" does not apply.
d. Use the parts reject conveyor for rejecting parts that are large enough to require
multiframe processing, as these kinds of parts will not fit inside the parts reject box.
Select one of the following three modes when operating with the automatic changeover
function.
• Barcode ID mode
For details on using the automatic changeover function, refer to the Accessory Software
Operation Manual (Chapter 4, Automatic Changeover Function).
The following options are required in order to use the automatic changeover function.

01SYS-0150
3. Push the left arrow button to select the job changeover pictogram, and then push OK.
01SYS-0148
After completion of the final panel for the current job, job changeover is performed for each
module in sequential order starting from the first module.
Using automatic changeover with the handy scanner (From NXT V3.11)
Reading a barcode with a reader such as the handy scanner acts as the changeover trigger
for automatic changeover.
In order to use this function, the following optional items are required.
01SYS-0260E
2. Register the lines on which automatic changeover with a handy scanner is to be used.
Refer to [Chapter 4, 6.2 Registering the lines on which the automatic changeover
function with a handy scanner is to be used] (Accessory software operation manual) for
details.
3. Create a table for the relation between the factory setup (lines and machines) and the
barcode IDs. Refer to [Chapter 4, 6.4 Creating tables for the relationship between the
factory setup and the barcode IDs] (Accessory software operation manual) for more
details. However, this step is not required. If the table is not created, the factory setup
can be selected manually at the screen.
4. Create a table for the relationship between the jobs and the barcode IDs. Refer to
[Chapter 4, 6.5 Creating tables for the relationship between the jobs and the barcode
IDs] (Accessory software operation manual) for details.
2. The panel for the current job is completed and unloaded to the next module. Automatic
changeover occurs after unloading is completed.
1. The following is the recovery method if the machine power is turned off when automatic
changeover has been performed for only some of the modules.
M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8
a. Starting from the next modules and unload the panels after rebooting.
Unload panels starting from the next modules after rebooting.
b. After unloading any panels from module M6(S), start unloading panels from M5.
c. After all of the panels have been unloaded from the modules, change the job using
the operation panel on the modules that have not completed changeover (M5 to M8
in the example).
2. If there is no job in the machine for the current production, then use Fuji Flexa to transmit
it to the machine.
3. Ensure that the machine configuration in the job and the actual machine configuration
match and then transmit the job.
4. When using the "barcode ID" mode, do not place a buffer conveyor between the
conveyor where the barcode reader is installed and the first module of the NXT.
5. Jobs cannot be transmitted to the background from Fuji Flexa when the automatic
changeover function is being used. Jobs are either automatically transmitted to the
background by the automatic changeover function, or they can be reserved by
performing settings in the Next Production screen in Production Monitor.
6. When the automatic changeover function is being used, background jobs cannot be
changed if the machine is waiting for an operation to be performed. Jobs can be
manually changed on the machine only on the first module when operating based on a
production schedule.
7. After a job has been specified to be used in automatic changeover, that job should not
be edited. When the automatic changeover function determines the next job is to be
used, reading of that job begins in the background. There is no indication at the machine
or in Accessory Software that reading of the next job is occurring.
8. If the current job is lost, it can be restored by using the following procedure:
a. Select the "OFF" option for [Automatic changeover] in the [Machine Configuration].
b. Transmit the current job from Fuji Flexa as the next job.
c. Switch to the background job at the machine using the operation panel.
d. Select the "ON" option for [Automatic changeover] in the [Machine Configuration].
9. After replacing the CPU box, the current job and next job are lost if not backed up in
diagnostic mode. The current job may also be lost if an error occurs during job
changeover. In this case, perform the procedure described above in the previous step
to recover.
10.Background jobs are cleared when automatic changeover is switched from OFF to ON.
If the job currently being used in the next module is different from the job for the panel
to be unloaded to that module, a job must be sent to the background and job changeover
must be performed at the next module before unloading the panel to that module.

In addition, it is recommended to use the panel position correction function with this
function.
Procedure
1. Edit the job. Specify the backup pin positions and that they are to be used in the
machine configuration of the job. Refer to the NXT Programming manual for details.
2. Specify the automatic backup pin settings from the [Auto backup pin settings] category
from [Module Configuration] in Accessory Software.
01SYS-0263E
2. Once a backup pin has been positioned, the backup pin mark is then read to confirm the
positioning of the pin. The actions that are performed next are different depending of
the deviation between the specified pin positioning and the actual pin positioning.
Deviation Action
0.3 mm or less Positioning is completed. The next backup pin is then
positioned.
0.3 to 0.6 mm Positioning recovery is performed. The set backup pin is
picked up again and then placed back on the backup plate.
(Recovery is performed one time only.) If still out of range
the second time, an error end occurs.
0.6 mm or more A positioning error occurs. A backup pin reading error is
displayed. Perform the actions based on the guidance
shown.

Error reading backup pins marks for backup pins on the backup plate
In order to check for the presence or absence of backup pins on the backup plate, the marks
on the automatic backup pins on the backup plate are read. The following displays when
errors occur during the reading of the backup pin marks for backup pins on the backup
plate.
Note: It is possible to push MONITOR to check the image used for vision processing.
These coordinates are the result of reading the backup pin mark. If the coordinates are
displayed in red, then the permissible value is exceeded (permissible value = 0.6 mm).
If a series of dashes is displayed (---), this means that the backup pin mark could not be found.
01SYS-0033Ea
b. Ensure that there are no problems with the pin positions and there are no items on
the bottom of the pins. Return all pins back to the stocker by hand. Then push back
the module.
01SYS-0034a
b. Ensure that the stocker 2D code is not dirty and is not in the wrong position. Then
push back the module.
01SYS-0336
c. After the picker moves to the upper position (or is pushed up manually), push back
the module.
01SYS-0337E
First, confirm the status of the [PIN CLAMPER UPPER LIMIT CHECK] on the error screen.
The next actions depend on whether it is [ON] or [OFF].
b. It is possible that the sensor is temporarily off. Confirm the status of the I/O input.
• Check that the sensor board connectors are connected correctly and that no
pins are disconnected.
• The picker moves up to the position where the upper limit sensor is supposed to
detect it.
e. If there are no problems with the head or the picker, set the head in the machine
again and continue production. If an error recurs, replace the head.

• The picker has not collided with the panel or other item.
b. After confirming that the Y100 CLAMPER DOWN is off, push the picker to confirm
that it will raise.
• The picker moves up to the position where the upper limit sensor is supposed to
detect it.
e. If there are no problems with the head or the picker, set the head in the machine
again and continue production. If an error recurs, replace the head.
a. It is necessary to check the status of the pin clamper upper limit sensor.
• The picker moves up to the position where the upper limit sensor is supposed to
detect it.
• The picker moves up to the position where the upper limit sensor is supposed to
detect it.
d. If there are no problems with the head or the picker, set the head in the machine
again and continue production. If an error recurs, replace the head.
Refer to " 7.11.19 Forcibly clearing errors " for details on how to clear picker upper limit
errors from Accessory Software.
Cautions
1. When dual lane production is being performed and a panel exists in only one lane (either
lane 1 or lane 2), the backup pin cannot be positioned or returned at the lane without a
panel. It is necessary to remove panels from both lanes before positioning or returning
backup pins.
2. When the job is changed from paired module production to single module production,
backup pins which have been positioned in areas that are accessible only during paired
module production cannot be returned to the stocker. Therefore, it is necessary to return
the pins to the stocker or to change the backup plates before changing the job. Also,
backup pins are automatically returned to the stocker when the automatic job
changeover function is being used.
3. When the panel position correction function is being used, do not position backup pins
at the panel edge detection area when creating the job.
4. When using felt paper, do not position backup pins on the felt paper when creating the
job.
The following panel length (X-direction) limitations apply when using this function.
Larger panel sizes are supported from NXT V4.42. When using this function, the panel
edge check position must be within the possible placement area.
(*1)
When the panel X-size is in this size range, use the formula below for the module
type to be used to determine if the panel edge check position in the job can be used.
panel size X
M3(S) : -125 ( + panel stopping offset) - panel edge check position X 125
2
panel size X
M6(S) : -267 ( + panel stopping offset) - panel edge check position X 267

2. Specify the panel positioning correction settings from the [Loader Settings] category
from [Machine Configuration] in Accessory Software.
01SYS-0262E
• The background for the panel edge sequence extends beyond the edge of the
backup plate.
• Vision errors occur due to reflected light from items such as oil on the backup
plates.
• Vision errors occur because the brightness difference between the panel and
the backup plate is not stable due to the panel color.

Note: If different part trays are allocated to the same tray drawer, the tray drawer is replaced with
the tray drawer in magazine B when one of the part trays runs out. This results in the other
part tray being a partial tray.
Handling errors when using the supply from supply magazine mode
The section contains explanations and remedies for some errors that occur when using the
supply from B magazine mode.
When a drawer is present in the 'Reserved' slot of the magazine used for resupply
When tray parts are resupplied to the magazine used for resupply, the machine performs a
tray height check. During this time, error guidance displays when a drawer is detected at
any of the following slots.
01SYS 0326
a. Open the door for the magazine used for resupply and remove the drawer from the
slot indicated in the error screen.
b. If necessary, insert the removed tray drawer into the correct slot.
c. Close the door and then push READY ON to clear the error.
Caution points when using the supply from supply magazine mode
1. When a partial tray is present in an unloaded tray drawer at slot 12 of the supply
magazine and the tray drawer is inserted into the supply magazine after loading trays
for the parts that ran out, the pickup position must be specified for the partial tray. If the
pickup position for the partial tray is not specified, then pickup begins at the first (1,1)
position of the tray and a pickup error results.
2. When guidance is displayed to unload the empty tray drawer in the supply magazine, it
is not possible to push the supply complete button for the supply magazine. Remove
the tray drawer from slot 12 and then push OK. Then follow the guidance that is
displayed.
3. If a recovery limit is reached at the production magazine while trays are being supplied
to the supply magazine, tray resupply guidance for the production magazine is
displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen to resupply parts to the production
magazine to continue production.
4. If at least one slot at the supply magazine is not setup for production, the supply
complete button cannot be pushed.
5. When a device offset is specified for a slot in the production magazine, the specified
value is still used after changing the tray drawer. Furthermore, when a device offset is
specified for a slot in the supply magazine, the specified value is ignored.
In order to use the non stop parts supply function the optional items, Fujitrax Verifier (a
compatible version) and Kit Handy are required. Refer to the NXT Programming Manual
for details.
Note: Non stop parts resupply is supported from NXT V3.11.

01SYS-0039
Cautions
1. When changing to a different job while a drawer is present in Slot 21, use the panel
removal command from manual mode to unload the slot 21 drawer to the parts supply
drawer where it should then be removed.
Note: From NXT V3.51, it is no longer necessary to use the panel removal command to unload a
drawer in slot 21. This drawer is automatically unloaded when START is pushed.
2. If a height check error occurs for parts replenished to the parts supply drawer, the
drawer is returned to the parts supply drawer, but "SetOK" remains displayed on Kit
Handy. Check the tray height, and verify the parts again with Kit Handy.
3. A status mismatch may occur between the machine and Kit Handy if the following types
of job changes occur. When the main screen displays following a job change, perform
a verification check in accordance with the Kit Handy guidance messages to establish a
"Set OK" status.
4. If the machine power is turned off after placing a verified drawer in the supply area, and
a drawer is present in Slot 21, both the verified drawer and the slot 21 drawer status are
cleared from the memory. In this case, use the panel removal command from manual
mode to unload the slot 21 drawer.
Note: From NXT V3.51, it is no longer necessary to use the panel removal command to unload a
drawer in slot 21. This drawer is automatically unloaded when START is pushed.
5. When the non-stop part supply function is used together with the feeder skip function,
do not skip tray parts in Slot 21. If a skip setting is accidentally specified for Slot 21, the
non-stop part supply function is disabled. In this case, use the panel removal command
from manual mode to unload the slot 21 drawer.

• Specify the number of times that an error is to occur for a statistical skip to be
decided in the [Error count to decide statistical nozzle errors] text box.
Note: The operation panel does not change when using NXT application software V4.30 and
earlier.
After production is started, the machine calculates the nozzle check conditions. If there is
a nozzle that has reached or passed the specified nozzle error count, then that nozzle is
exchanged with a spare nozzle set in the nozzle station.
When this occurs, the background color of the pictogram in the changeover display area
changes to yellow. This informs the operator that there are nozzles in the nozzle station
that require maintenance.
Note: The operation panel does not change when using NXT application software V4.30 and
earlier.
If there are any remaining spare nozzles in the nozzle station, then production is continued.
If there are nozzles with errors in the nozzle station, then stop the machine and perform the
following steps.

2. Set any tray that is not completely full as the top tray in the tray stack.
3. When adding new full trays, add the new trays to the bottom of the tray stack.
4. When the last tray in the stack is emptied, the operator must remove this tray.
5. Do not remove empty trays from the machine when EMERGENCY STOP or a similar
operation has been performed and the drawer containing the empty trays has stopped
in an advanced position. The machine cannot detect that the tray has been removed
using this method. If this method is used and a full tray is placed back in the drawer, the
full tray will be unloaded. If trays must be removed using this method, remove the tray

2. Specify a value larger than the [Maximum panel width for lane 1] setting + 47 mm. In
addition, the [Lane Pitch Value] setting + [Maximum panel width for lane 2] setting must
be 607 mm or less.
Perform the following actions if the duplicate IP address error screen displays.
b. Refer to the information on the screen and change either the IP address for the NXT
or the IP address at the other machine.
c. After clearing the error, turn the machine on and off using the main switch located at

The items listed below are required to use the free allocation function.
• Fujitrax V3.30 and later: Fujitrax Verifier, License for the free allocation function.
In the Machine Configuration section of Accessory Software, select [Fujitrax Setting] from
the category list, and specify [V3.30] for [Use Version].
Restrictions
The free allocation function cannot be used together with the dynamic alternate feeder
function.
The default setting is [Panels are unloaded in the order they are produced]. Panels loaded
to each lane are unloaded in the order they complete production. If production stops at one
lane due to parts out or a similar reason, production will continue in the other lane without
maintaining line balance.
Specifying [Panels are unloaded in the order they are loaded] for this setting maintains line
balance between lane 1 and lane 2 because panels are unloaded in the same order as they
entered the machine.
Specify the panel unloading order that best suits your production line.
Note: This function is supported from NXT V4.20 and using this function for paired module
production is supported from NXT V4.30.

Example: Specifying the setting [Panels are unloaded in the order they are loaded]
Panel A is loaded to lane 1, completes production and is then unloaded
before panel B. Even if parts run out and production stops at lane 1 and
moves to lane 2, panel A is still unloaded before panel B because production
resumes at lane 1 after parts are resupplied to lane 1. (Panel B waits to be
unloaded from lane 2 even when it has completed production). 01SYS-0197E

types
The setting [Panels are unloaded in the order they are produced] is not for conveying panels
simultaneously or alternately for lanes 1 and 2. When this setting is selected, the panel
which is first to be loaded is also first to be unloaded.
Accordingly, if a panels are loaded into lane 1 only, then production can only be performed
at lane 1.
When the inventory is exhausted for a part being used by one of the
lanes during production
When the parts inventory has been completly used for one of the lanes during production,
production cannot be continued. Furthermore, production will also stop at the other lane.
When this situation occurs, use one of the methods listed below to restart production.
2. Restart production. Production continues only at the lane which has the parts necessary
for production.
Skip the feeder supplying the parts for which inventory is exhausted
1. Use MEdit to skip the feeder supplying the parts for which inventory is exhausted.
2. Restart production. Production continues, but the parts for which inventory is exhausted
are not placed.
3. After the inventory of parts has been replenished, place the parts which were skipped
by hand or other appropriate method.
01SYS-0199E
• [Stop Message] item: Use alpha-numeric characters when entering the stop
message.
Note: The following characters can be used: A to Z, 0 to 9, "_" (Underscore), "." (Period), "-"
(Hyphen). From 1 to 30 characters can be input for the message.
0 / 5
Panel count / interval stop panel quantity 01SYS-0200E
When production is started, the displayed panel count increases each time a panel is
loaded into the machine.
The machine automatically stops when the specified interval stop panel quantity has been
reached and the last panel is unloaded from the machine. At this point, the interval stop
guidance shown below is displayed at the operation panel of the machine.
After the interval stop, perform the necessary maintenance or action, and then push
READY ON. The main screen is displayed and the panel count is displayed as "0".
Note: It is possible to use manual mode to clear the panel count before the interval stop panel
quantity is reached. For details, refer to section " 6.3.3 Clearing the number of panels
loaded ".
Cautions
1. When the interval stop function and the automatic changeover function are being used
together and the stop timing for the two functions occurs at the same time, priority is
given to automatic changeover (automatic changeover guidance is displayed first). After
START is pushed to restart production, an interval stop occurs.
2. When STOP is pushed at the same time that the interval stop panel quantity is reached,
priority is given to the STOP command (the main screen is displayed). After START is
pushed to restart production, an interval stop occurs.
3. If, in addition to the cases listed above in 1 and 2, an error also simultaneously occurs,
priority is give to the error (error guidance is displayed first). After production is restarted,
an interval stop occurs. Then, when production is restarted for a second time, guidance
for automatic changeover or for when after STOP is pushed.
4. When producing using paired modules and an interval stop occurs in a situation like one
of the three cases listed above, there are cases when one of the modules in the pair
does not stop. In this case, push CYCLE STOP.
5. When producing using dual lanes, the interval stop occurs after panels have been
unloaded from both lanes.
6. When producing using dual lanes and two panels are conveyed simultaneously at both
of the lanes, there are cases when the number of panels produced is one greater than
the number specified for the interval stop panel count.
The production and maintenance rate is improved because this function helps prevent the
use of dirty nozzles.
Note: The Simple Periodic Nozzle Changeover Function can be used from NXT V4.43.
01SYS-0206E
When the machine has produced the number of panels specified for this setting, the
nozzles on the head are exchanged with the spare nozzles set in the nozzle station.
When this occurs, the background color of the pictogram in the changeover display area
changes to yellow. This informs the operator that there are nozzles in the nozzle station
that require maintenance.
If there are any remaining spare nozzles in the nozzle station, then production is continued.
When you want to clean the nozzles, stop the machine and perform the following steps.
R07-013-070
R07-013-070
3. Set the nozzle station back in the module and push back the module.
4. After cleaning the nozzles, use the remote operation command [Complete nozzle
maintenance] in Accessory Software for the modules on which the nozzles were
cleaned.
01SYS-0209aE
Cautions
1. There are cases in which simple periodic nozzle exchange cannot be performed based
on the production pattern being used even though this setting is enabled. Consider the
following items when specifying machine settings.
2. The [Complete nozzle maintenance] remote command is only for the nozzles in the
nozzle station. It is not for nozzles that are currently on the head.
3. A nozzle bend (chipping, dirt) check is performed for nozzles 1.0 mm and smaller when
changing nozzles. If a vision processing error occurs at this time, an error stop occurs
without replacing any error nozzles.
From this point, the operator pulls forward the module to check the backup pin positions.
Note: The Backup Pin Allocation Check Function can be used from NXT V4.52.
When using this function a plate (transparent or semi-transparent) that is the same size as
the panel is required.
01SYS-0224E
01SYS-0225E
Note: If you desire to change back to normal operation mode after changing the mode without
checking the backup pin positions, select [Production mode] in [Remote Operation] and the
click [Operation Mode] and then click [Start].
Plate
01SYS-0252E
When the module is changed to backup pin allocation check mode, the operation panel
changes to display guidance to push START with the backup pin allocation pictogram. In
addition, the panel loaded indicator area background color changes to yellow for the
specified lanes.
1. Push START.
Note: When checking modules other than the first module, use manual commands to load the
plate before pushing START.
2. The module becomes ready to load a panel. Load the prepared plate.
Note: When using dual lane conveyance, first load the plate for lane 1 and then load for lane 2.
3. The plate is loaded and clamped and then module stops and displays guidance for
checking the backup pin positions. Push OK and then gently pull forward the module.
01SYS-0220Ea
4. Check the positions of the backup pins. Correct the positioning of any backup pins for
which the backup pin position does not match the mark on the plate.
5. Once the positioning of the backup pins is completed, push back the module on the
base.
6. Guidance for unloading the panel is displayed on the operation panel. Push START.
Note: If the next module cannot be changed to backup pin allocation mode, then use the manual
commands to remove the plate from the module before pushing START.
01SYS-0221E
7. The next module changes to backup pin allocation mode. Push START on this module.
01SYS-0222E
8. The plate is loaded in the next module and then backup pin allocation check guidance
is displayed. Push OK and pull forward the module.
Note: The backup pin allocation mode for the module the plate was unloaded from is
automatically cleared.
01SYS-0223Ea
9. Check the positioning of the backup pins. Return to step 4 and repeat the procedures
from this point until the last module is reached.
10.The plate is not unloaded from the last module and the module stops. Use manual
commands to remove the plate from the module.
Cautions
1. If the [Operation Mode] is set to any setting other than [Production mode] in Accessory
Software, then the backup pin position check cannot be used.
2. Turning off the machine does not clear the backup pin allocation check mode. To clear
this mode, select [Production mode] in [Remote Operation] and then click [Operation
Mode] and then click [Start] in Accessory Software.
3. During paired module production, push START at the first paired module. Then after the
mode has been set for the second paired module, push START at the second paired
module.
4. When using the panel stopping position correction function based on fiducial marks or
the panel edge to correct the position at which the panel stops, prepare the plate so that
it can be used with this function.
5. When using a Profiler FLP unit, do not load the plate using the conveyor before the first
module. Use manual commands to load the plate.
6. When using vacuum backup pins, turn the vacuum backup pin function off temporarily
or turn off the vacuum through I/O Monitor.
7. When the tray unit is removed from a module with a single conveyor S and
EMERGENCY STOP is pushed during operation, the conveyor clamp lowers. Ensure
that the panel does not move out of position at this time.
8. When using seamless production during times such as automatic changeover, the next
module may not have the same job as the current module. If this happens, change the
job at the next module so that it matches.
When an error occurs during nozzle changeover, the head may stop in a position where it
collides with the nozzle station. The error cannot be cleared until maintenance personnel
checks inside the machine.
Note: The function to detect errors during nozzle changeover is supported from NXT 5.11.
01SYS-0338E
b. Check the contents and countermeasure for the error in Accessory Software and
perform the necessary actions.
c. Confirm that no nozzles fell inside the machine. If any nozzles fell, remove the nozzle
station and set them in it.

01SYS-0339E
b. Check the contents and countermeasure for the error in Accessory Software and
perform the necessary actions.
c. Check the Z-axis of the head. If the Z-axis is down, raise it by hand.
d. Remove the nozzle station. If any nozzles fell, set them in the nozzle station.
Refer to " 7.11.19 Forcibly clearing errors " for details on how to clear picker upper limit
errors from Accessory Software.
Caution points
1. Upon restarting the machine, [A nozzle that cannot be returned to the nozzle station is
mounted on the holder] or [Dropped nozzle error] errors may occur.
2. If power to the machine is turned off while nozzle changeover error guidance is being
displayed, after the machine is restarted, be sure to inspect inside the machine and
confirm that the head and nozzle station will not collide.
5. Performing Changeover
5.1 Changeover Items

Note: When removing feeders, it is essential that the clamp lever is raised all of the way and kept
in that condition when the feeder is pulled out. If the clamp lever is not completely raised,
it is possible that the power to the feeder is not disconnected. If the feeder is removed with
power still being supplied, the connector can become bad and the internal feeder board can
be damaged.
3. Firmly grip the handle of the pulled back feeder and pull it out of the machine to remove
it.
Caution: Be sure to firmly grip the handle to prevent the feeder from being dropped.

to indicate that feeder supply should be performed first is displayed. Push the left arrow
button to display the feeder supply guidance.
If the left arrow button is pushed when the feeder supply guidance is displayed, the
guidance for supplying trays is displayed again.
The method for setting feeders is the same as setting on feeder pallets. Correctly insert the
feeders into the feeder slots for the tray unit-LT/LTC.
Note: After setting feeders, if the tray unit-LT/LTC is removed from the module, feeders are also
removed from the module at the same time because they are attached to the tray unit-LT/
LTC. Due to this, it is necessary to push the feeder set OK buttons for the feeders set on
the module after the tray unit-LT/LTC is set back into the module (when verification is not
being used).
Parts out conditions that occur during production can be checked at either of the screens
listed below. Check the parts out condition at the screen which is most convenient (this will
vary depending on whether or not Kit Handy is used and the location of the computer).
b. Kit Handy
c. Kit Manager
Note: Check the machine operation panel if it is not necessary to perform quick verification (for
example, when a feeder for which parts reel information has been created is already
prepared). Check the screen at Kit Handy or Kit Manager if it is necessary to perform quick
verification while setting the feeder.
The feeder exchange guidance displayed at the machine operation panel is the same as
when the free allocation function is not being used. For details, refer to section " 5.4.1
Feeder replacement guidance screen ". Also, if a feeder is already set in the slot which is
specified in the job, then an asterisk (*) is displayed in the [Slot] column.

Note: If a feeder is not already set in the slot which is specified in the job, then a slot number is
displayed. In the screen shown above, slot 9 is displayed, but the feeder can be set in any
slot.
When using Kit Handy, check the [Status] column at the part status list screen (shown

which [No Feeder] is displayed and perform quick verification. If quick verification has
already been performed, check the machine operation panel.
3. Set the new feeder into any slot. For details on setting the feeder, refer to section " 5.4.2
Removing and attaching feeders ".
Note: If no empty slots exist, remove a feeder that is not used in production. Feeders which are
not being used can be identified by checking the LED above the feeders on the front cover
of the module. The LED is not lit for slots at which feeders are not being used.
4. Ensure that the LED on the front cover of the machine is green for the feeder which was
set.
5. Repeat the procedures above until all necessary feeders have been set.
Note: Due to the difference in the number of slots occupied by different feeders, there are cases
when it is not possible to set all feeders depending on the allocation. When using a job that
requires several different feeder types, set the narrowest feeders (the feeders occupying
the fewest number of slots) in the lowest possible slot numbers (slot 1, 2, ....).

set the middle of the tray as the pickup point for the tray remover.
• When the empty tray is picked up by the remover, ensure that there are no
vacuum leaks in a 30 mm diameter area around the center of the remover pad.
• There are limitations to the tray sizes that can be used. Refer to the NXT
specifications for details. Furthermore, refer to this for maximum tray height
information on warpage, and bend.
• Do not use trays such as plastic injection molded trays and soft trays, because
these trays can stick together when stacked and there is no guarantee that the
tray is level when set.
• The yellow lines on the drawer indicate the positions checked by the tray height
sensors. Be careful not to place any tall items such as magnets on these yellow
lines.
• Gently open and close the doors so not to jar parts. For safety reasons, the
doors are automatically locked and cannot be opened. Do not try to open the
doors when they are locked.
• The upper door is for the tray drawer removal area. Do not insert tray drawers
into this area. If tray drawers are inserted into this area, it is possible that a
collision will occur. Be sure to remove any tray drawers from this area once the
removal area door is opened. If the tray drawer is not removed and the door is
closed, it is possible that a collision will occur when Tray unit-L operation is
resumed.
Parts height:

Drawer Parts NXTMTU030
a. The top of the part when set in the tray must be 9.0 mm or higher than the top surface
of the drawer. It is not possible to pickup parts that are less than this height.
b. The tray height and parts height must be within the acceptable ranges shown in the
picture above. Interference is possible when picking parts if these ranges are
exceeded.
If the upper surface of the part is less than the 9.0 mm limit, place an empty tray under the
current tray to raise the top of the part. However, do not exceed the maximum tray height.
Note: When using a H04 head, the two drawer positions above drawers must be empty and are
reserved for the drawer with trays.
01SYS-0114E
Check the following points and set the tray correctly to clear the error.
b. Does the value for the tray height set in the job match the measured results?
If this occurs, either revise the job or the "remaining parts quantity" value in Fujitrax Verifier
so that the Fujitrax Verifier and job values match.

It is essential that before this command is used that no one or nothing will be hurt when the
module is unclamped. When unclamped, the module moves forward a short distance and
can pinch or severe any items between the module and the base.
6.1.1 Procedure
1. With the module not operating, push MANUAL to display the manual commands.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the cleaning pictogram, then push OK.
Note: If a tray unit is attached to the module, the guidance screen changes to display guidance
for removing the tray unit at this point. Follow the directions provided to remove the tray
unit and then continue on to the next step.
3. Ensure that when the module moves forward that nothing will be struck or pinched by
the module. When safe to unclamp the module, push OK and the module is
automatically unclamped. When the module is unclamped it moves a short distance
forward.
CAUTION
Do not insert fingers or other body parts into the gap between the
machine side cover and base, because they could be injured when
the module is pulled out or unclamped.
Note:
1. If the module is not unclamped, check the cause based on the error message that displays.
M3(S) modules will not be unclamped if the XS-axis for that module or the neighboring
modules are in an unsafe position (i.e., protuding into another module).
2. When performing this on paired modules, perform steps 1 to 3 on both modules. When either
of the OK buttons is pushed on the paired modules in step 3, both modules are unclamped.
4. Grip the handle for the module and squeezee to release the module brake and gently
pull the module forward until the module hits the stopper.
WARNING
There is a limit to the number of modules that can be pulled out
safely at the same time. (Maximum: Four M3(S) modules on an 8M
base, or two M3(S) modules on a 4M base.)
If the maximum is exceeded, the entire machine may fall over to the
front, possibly resulting in serious physical harm.
Note: Do not move the XS-axis so that it protudes from the module while the module is pulled
forward. When the module is returned in this condition, the XY-robot will strike the other
module.
WARNING
• When pushing a module onto the base, check that no one is
behind the module, to prevent injuries.
• When pulling out or pushing in a module, do not insert hands or
other body parts in between modules. If caught between modules,
fingers or other body parts could be cut or severed.
6. Ensure that the XS-axis or any other items are not protuding from the module before
returning the module. If the axis is protuding, move the axis to a safe position before
returning the module.
7. Grip the handle for the module and squeezee to release the module brake and gently

7. Accessory Software
7.1 Introduction
This software is used to perform the special non-production commands on the NXT.
The machine interface has been simplified in order to make it easier for the operator to use.
Many of the commands not directly related to production have been moved to Accessory
Software. This program is designed to get data from the machine such as pictures and
trace data, make special settings, and perform special commands as well as being used to
help monitor the progress of the machine.
CP-7/QP-3-series NXT
Commands on the machine Commands on the machine
- Production commands - Production commands
- Vision image display - Vision image display
- Trace data
- Calibration settings
- Configuration settings Accessory Software
- Inching Functions
- Servo counter - Base Configuration settings
- Servo parameters - Module Configuration settings
- I/O - Acquire data from machine
- Remote commands
- Progress monitor
The Accessory Software system uses a server/client system with one server being installed
on a computer. Accessory Software clients then connect to this one server. This server is
responsible for the communication between all the NXT machines and the clients.
The client computers connect to the Accessory Software server through Internet Explorer
5.5 (service pack 2 or higher) or higher. Due to this, software management of this software
is much easier because no special software is installed on the client computers. Only the
server computer needs to be changed when upgrading.
Server
NXT
Accessory software
The server computer gets the information about the available NXT machines from the line
settings made in Fuji Flexa. Once the NXT machines have been registered in Fuji Flexa,
Accessory Software is able to connect to them.
Fuji Flexa must be installed on the server computer in order to allow the server to connect
to Flexa. A full Fuji Flexa installation is not required. It is sufficient if a "Fuji Flexa External
Components" installation is performed on the computer.

been specified, click [Apply] to use the new settings.
NXTAS0037E
The Operation Rate is the percentage of the cycle time that must be reached.
The specified rate effects the standard cycle time. As the standard cycle time becomes the
line throughput, if the operation rate is changed, the amount of panels that must be
produced is changed.
Example) If the standard cycle time is 20 seconds and the Operation Rate is 100%,
production must be completed in 20 seconds. If the Operation Rate is set to 80%, an
operation loss of 20% is acceptable, this means that a cycle time of 24 seconds is
permissible.

When I attempt to transmit a job, the NXT machine has a red X over the
icon in the [Transmit Job] dialog box, but I know the job has the correct
NXT machine.
The most likely cause for this problem is that the job being transmitted is in the local job
directory. Copy the job into the global job directory and attempt to transmit the same job
from the global directory. There should be no red X in the [Transmit Job] dialog box. Only
jobs in the global directory can be transmitted to NXT machines.
I made IDs for the parts and feeders, but when I set the parts on the
machine, it will never accept the parts even though they and the
feeders are correct.
The most likely cause for this issue is that the Quickverify required mode is set to "ON" at
the computer with the Verifier Central Server for the NXT. When this setting is on, even if
the parts are correct and IDs are created, the parts will not be accepted when set on the
machine until a quickverify is performed on those parts. Perform a quickverify for the parts
and if the machine then accepts the feeders, then that was the issue. Turn this setting off
if this mode is not desired.
After logging on to the Kit Handy, I cannot select the NXT machine in
the device check mode. Nor do I see any parts out warnings or
machine errors for the NXT.
The most likely cause for not being able to access the NXT device check screen is that the
User ID used to log on is not registered for the NXT in the Kit Handy Settings. Start Kit
Manager and have an administrator level user log on. In the line display on the left side of
the window, right-click the NXT machine and select [Kit Handy Settings] from the shortcut
menu that displays. The dialog box for the [Kit Handy Setting] displays with a list of users
that are responsible for that NXT machine. Add the user ID previously used to this list. This
setting affects which machines display in the Parts out list and Machine Errors list at Kit
Handy as well as the machines that a device check can be performed on. In addition, this
setting also determines which machines display under the [Operator] branch in Kit Manager
for the user logged on.
It is important to note that while units are easy to replace, items in units should not be
changed or adjusted except by qualified Fuji representatives. This point ensures that all
units are the same and this is one of the reasons for easy replacement and the lack of
special measurements. Some examples of "units" are the parts camera/lighting unit, head,
module CPU, and the mark camera/lighting unit.
Note: If an item is not in the NXT Maintenance Manual and the procedures for replacing that are
unknown, then do not attempt to replace the item. Contact your Fuji representative for
guidance about the item.
If a major problem is encountered (such as, numerous OS errors) and it cannot be resolved,
acquire the trace data from all of the related items and send this data to your Fuji
representative along with a detailed explanation of the conditions in which the problem
occurs, any steps taken to resolve the problem, and any error codes displayed. If all of this
data is sent to your Fuji representative, the troubleshooting process is greatly aided and
steps already taken mostly likely do not need to be repeated, thus saving time.
Trace data can be acquired if communication between the machine and Accessory
Software is possible.
1. Do not perform any operations on the machine until trace data acquisition is completed.
2. Acquire the trace data using Accessory Software by selecting [Data Acquisition] -
[Acquire Trace] from the machine accessories section when the machine is selected.
The procedures below must be followed. If the main power switch for the machine is not
turned on and then off, trace data cannot be acquired using Accessory Software due to a
communication error.
3. When the module has started and entered sleep mode, acquire the trace data using
Accessory Software by selecting [Data Acquisition] - [Acquire Trace] from the machine
accessories section when the module is selected.
3. When the module turns on, and after the panel STANDBY lamp is lit and writing is just
