01PRG-0053E
• Machine Setup
Setting Description
Fix Rail This specifies whether or not the reference rail for lane 2 can
move to different positions. If this is set to [Yes] the reference
rail cannot move to different positions and a setting must be
specified for [Rail Width]. This is the location that the refence
rail for lane 2 will be positioned.
Rail Width This setting only displays when the setting for [Fix Rail] is
[Yes]. This setting specifies the location at which the
reference rail for lane 2 will be fixed.
Board Flow This specifies the direction in which the panels flow through
the machine.
This settings does not actually control the direction in the
machine but is used for job related processing in Fuji Flexa.

• Optimization
Setting Description
Feeder Duplication This specifies whether or not parts with many placements will
be broken up into multiple feeders and set into different
modules.
If this is set to [Yes], parts with many placements will be set in
multiple feeders and placed on multiple modules if possible.
Divide Parts on Fixed Specify whether to reallocate parts on fixed feeders when
Feeders [Feeder Duplication] is set to [Yes].
Yes: Reallocate parts on fixed feeders to other modules to
reduce cycle time.
No: Do not reallocate parts on fixed feeders.
Note: The following are considered fixed feeders.
• Feeders with a Status of [Fixed]
• Feeders that have already been allocated in the

Feeder Setup when Use Current Feeder Setup is
set to [Yes].
Optimize Nozzle This specifies whether the nozzle allocation should be

Station optimized or not.
If this is set to [Yes] the nozzles in the nozzle station will be
changed to be “optimized” for production.
If this is set to [No] then optimization is performed without
changing the nozzle setup.
Nozzle station nozzle This setting only displays when the setting for [Optimize
allocation method Nozzle Station] is [Yes].
Specify the nozzle station nozzle arrangement method.
[Minimum] arranges for the minimum number nozzles required
by the head.
[Maximum] arranges for the maximum number of nozzles
allowable in the station.
Optimizer Type This setting specifies the level of optimization to be performed.

[Speed] performs optimization with a priority on achieving a
relatively fast cycle time and processing is performed quickly.
[Optimal] performs optimization with a priority on achieving the
fastest cycle time and processing takes longer.
[Time Limit] performs processing the same as [Optimal] but
within a specified time limit.
Time Limit This only displays if [Optimizer Type] is set to [Time Limit].
This specifies the time limit in minutes that the optimizer has
to complete processing.

Setting Description
Optimize For Cycle Specify whether optimization prioritizes module balancing.

Time
Yes: Optimization prioritizes module balance over part size.
More feeders are divided when feeders are divided. This
setting often improves cycle time but increases the calculation
time.
No: Optimization is performed so that small parts are placed

first whenever possible. Furthermore, the number of divided
feeders is not increased greatly when feeders are divided.
This setting decreases calculation time.
Conveyor Mode This settings specifies the panel conveyance mode to be used
for production for determining optimization.
Target Conveyor This specifies the target lane on which the job will be
optimized.
If set to [Lane 1], then the job is optimized with the premise that
the panels are to be loaded on lane 1.
Optimize for Single Specify whether to automatically optimize for single lane
Lane when Dual is not production when the panel size has exceeded a size that can
possible
be conveyed with dual conveyance.
Yes: Optimizes for dual lane conveyance.
No: Optimizes for single lane conveyance.
Sort by Part Height for Specify whether or not to optimize placing order by part height
OF Head (only used for the OF head).
Use Current Feeder When the [Allocate Feeders] option is selected for
Setup optimization, this specifies whether or not the current feeder
setup will be changed or not. If the is set to [No] and the
[Allocate Feeders] option is selected for optimiztion, then the
current feeder positions and settings are completely ignored
and all feeders are redistributed. If there are variable status
feeders that are not being used in the current job in the feeder
setup, these feeders are removed.
Used feeder type This specifies whether or not reel holders are on the feeders.
If set to [Reel holder], the optimizer positions feeders in the
feeder setup considering that the feeders have reel holders.
If this is set to [Reel holder-E], the optimizer positions feeders
in the feeder setup considering that feeders have no reel
holders and a bucket type feeder pallet is used.

Setting Description
Check Part Sensor Specify whether parts that are to have a part check performed
are allocated considering the part sensor setting.
A part check is performed if any of the following conditions are
fulfilled.
Do Place Check is [Yes]

Do Part Height Check is [Yes]
Pick Check Mode is [Stop on Error] or [Recovery on Error]
Do Dipping Check is [Yes]
Use if present: When there are heads with part sensors on

them in the line, all of the parts that are to have a part check
are allocated to the heads that have part sensors.
When there are no heads with part sensors on them in the line,
all of the parts are allocated with the emphasis on balancing
the line.
Must Use: All parts that are to have a part check are
allocated to heads that have part sensors.
Do not consider: The parts are allocated with the emphasis on

balancing the line without considering which heads have part
sensors.
There will be cases in which parts that are to have a part check
are allocated to a head without a parts sensor and cases in
which parts that are not to have a parts check are allocated to
a head with a parts sensor.

• Optimization - Module Assign Option
Setting Description
Optimize Panel Specify whether to optimize the Panel Stopping Position

Stopping Position Offset value when performing paired module production.
Offset
Yes: Panel Stopping Position Offset is set automatically during
optimization.
No: The Panel Stopping Position Offset must be entered.

(The same setting must be entered at all modules.)
Allocate parts to M6 This specifies whether or not to allocate parts that are in the
modules head interference area during paired module production to
M6-2 (SP) modules if possible.
By setting this to [Yes], head waiting time during paired
module production is reduced. However, more parts are
assigned to the M6-2 (SP) module.
Optimize For Single This specifies whether or not paired module production is used
Module Production for panels between 250 and 305 in length. This setting has no
(M3) bearing for panels outside of this range.
When setting to [No] and the panel size is within the range, the
M3-2 modules are automatically paired for paired production.
If set to [Yes] and the panel size is within the range, the M3
modules are not paired.
For panels smaller than the range, M3-2 modules are never
paired. For panels larger than the range, M3-2 modules are
always paired.
• Note:Paired module production is supported by the NXT-2 only.
• Optimization - Mark
Setting Description
Mark Reset This specifies whether or not the fiducial marks for the
sequences are cleared and reassigned.
If this is set to [n/c], only sequences at have no fiducial mark
assignment at all, have fiducial marks assigned.
If this is set to [Reset] then all fiducial mark assignments are
cleared for all sequences and then they are reasigned.
Mark Compensation This specifies how many marks are to be used for aligning the
Count sequences when assigning fiducial marks. If this setting is

at the lane without a panel. It is necessary to remove panels from both lanes
before positioning or returning backup pins.
• 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.
• When the panel position correction function is being used (only for correction
using the panel edge), do not position backup pins in the panel edge detection
area when creating the job. (Refer to section 2.4.4 "Using the panel position

2.4.5 Package-on-Package placement

The package-on-package (PoP) placement function uses pressure control to stack parts
on top of parts that have already been placed.
(1) The nozzle (Z-axis) is lowered at the specified speed from the placing
pressure control start height (H).
(2) The nozzle places the part, pushing down with the specified pressure.
(3) The head pauses for the specified time.
(4) The nozzle (Z-axis) rises to the placing pressure control end height (same as
H) at the specified speed. After reaching the placing pressure control end
height, the nozzle continues to rise at normal speed.
(1) (2) (3) (4)
H H
01PRG-0035
• Note:The distance used for the placing pressure control start height (H) varies depending
on whether the lower and upper parts are stacked at the same module or at different
modules.
* If parts are stacked at the same module, H is equal to the top of the lower part that has
already been placed plus 2.5 mm.
* If parts are stacked at different modules, H is equal to the premounted parts height
specified for the module at which the lower part is placed.
• Restrictions:
If PoP placement is performed at paired modules, the lower part and upper part of the
stack must be placed at the same module within the pair (see the figure on the lower
left). However, the lower part can be placed at a module within a set of paired modules,
and then the upper part can be placed at a different module within a different set of
paired modules (see the figure in the lower right).

2.4.10 Limiting the number of reels used in a job

There is a method for limiting the number of reels used for a part number when the job is
optimized by using a special function available from Fuji Flexa (V4.3.0 or later).
Normally, when the [Allow] Multiple Slots] setting for a part number is set to [Yes], there
is no limit on the number of reels that the optimizer can set on the machine for that part
number (other than the number of available feeders if that setting has been specified).
By using this function, it is possible to limit the number of reels that can be allocated to
feeders for specific part numbers during optimization.
• This function is used in the optimizer in Job Builder, NXT Multi Machine
Optimizer, NXT Dual Production Optimizer, and NXT MultiJob LineBalancer.
• When there are multiple NXT machines in a line, processing is performed so that
the number of reels for each specified part is not exceeded for each individual
NXT machine. So if one reel is specified for a part number, then it is determined
that one reel can be used at each NXT machine.
• There is no limit to the number of reels available for part numbers that not
specified in the Excel sheet.
• This setting applies for all jobs that are optimized on the computer that this
setting has been specified.
• If a different set of part numbers are to be specified for a different job, then those
part numbers must be specified in the Excel sheet and then the Excel sheet
saved and exported before optimizing.
• This limit is only used when optimizing on the computer that the limit settings are
made. If the job is optimized on a computer that the limit settings have not been
specified (or limit settings for other parts have been specified), then there is no
limit on the number of reels that the optimizer can use.

• Enabling/disabling the reel limit setting

Normally, this function is not enabled and must be enabled by following the procedures
below. Once enabled, this function is used until it is disabled.
1. Copy the "LimitFeederDuplication" folder from the "Tools" folder on the Fuji Flexa
installation CD-ROM and paste it in the location from which you want to use it.
2. Open the pasted "LimitFeederDuplication" folder.
3. Double-click "LimitFeederDuplication.exe" from this folder and a dialog box is displayed.

•
01PRG102E
4. Click [Yes] in this dialog box to enable limiting the number of reels for part numbers.
• Note:If you want to remove the limit on the number of reels, then click [No] in this dialog box.
The function to limit the number of reels for parts number is then enabled. It is necessary
to then specify the part numbers to limit in the Excel sheet by following the procedures
in the next section.

• Specifying the part number reel limits

When the function to limit the number of reels for parts numbers is enabled, the part
numbers and quantity of reels that is to be limited need to be specified by following the
procedures below. These settings are only for the computer they are specified on and
are for all jobs that are optimized on that computer (they are not job specific).
1. Create the job as usual.
2. If the "LimitFeederDuplication" folder has not already been copied to the computer, then
copy the "LimitFeederDuplication" folder from the "Tools" folder on the Fuji Flexa
installation CD-ROM and paste it in the location from which you want to use it.
3. Open this folder and then double-click the "FeederDuplicate.xls" file to open it.
4. If a security warning is displayed asking if macros should be enabled (if macro security
is set to "medium"), click [Enable Marcos].
• Note:Macros must be enabled for this Excel sheet to function properly.

5. Specify the part numbers for the parts that you want to limit the reel quantity in the
[PartNumber] column and then specify the number of reels possible for each part
number in the [Count] column.
6. Ensure that the entered settings are correct and then click [Save & Export].
7. Optimize the job.

• Note:If you want to change the limit settings, then change the Excel sheet, save and export
and then optimize again. The limit settings are used the next time optimization is performed
after the data is saved and exported.
That completes specifying a limit on the number of available reels for part numbers. If
you open a new job and want to limit the number of reels for different part numbers in
that job, you must specify the different part numbers in the Excel sheet and then save
and export it.

2.4.11 Specifying the tape pitch and indexing speed in the job
Until now the pitch and indexing speed of tape have been set using the dip switches on
the feeder itself. However, from NXT application software version V5.15 onwards these
can be set in the job.
Also, for W12 and larger feeders, pitch sizes that could not be set using the dip switches
on the feeder (64, 68, and 72 mm) can now be set. (Refer to the illustration below.)

2.4.15 Creating jobs for large panels

• Note:Only the NXT-2 supports panels with a length (X-direction) exceeding 534 mm.
When producing panels that exceed 534 mm (X-direction) be sure to perform

optimization, because the optimizer automatically specifies shift conveyance.
• Shift conveyance is specified at the [Panel Stopping Position Offset 2] setting in

the [Modules] tab of the machine configuration.
• Note:It is not necessary to specify the setting manually because the optimizer does so
automatically.
• Product details are specified in the [Product Index] in the [Insert Order].
• Note:It is not necessary to specify the setting manually because the optimizer does so
automatically.
• Production is performed with shift conveyance used for the portion of the panel
that extends beyond the maximum range. This means that the panel is divided
into two placement areas with respect to the panel conveyance direction.
Normal flow: The left side of the panel is placement area 1 and the right
side of the panel is placement area 2.
Reverse flow: The right side of the panel is placement area 1 and the left
side of the panel is placement area 2.
• Producing with shift conveyance

Be aware of the following important points when specifying settings in the job.
• When performing panel stopping position correction using the panel edge,
specify a panel edge sequence for both the left and right edges of the panel.
• If using skip marks to skip boards, specify settings so that skip mark sequences
are read in placement area 1.
• When using panel IDs in Profiler, specify settings so that panel ID mark
sequences are read in placement area 1.
• Position reference marks so that they are read in both placement area 1 and
placement area 2.
• Caution:Backup pins can be used but the placement position cannot be changed between
placement area 1 and placement area 2. Therefore, if backup pins are used, they must be
set in positions where they do not interfere with parts in both area 1 and area 2.

2.4.16 Detecting the panel height (type 2)

The panel height detection function helps improve the quality of produced panels by
measuring PCB warpage and using these values in the part placing height. This function
can control the push in amount when placing on panels that warp upwards. For
downward warped panels, it is possible to set the parts on the panel surface without
releasing them before they reach the surface.
• Required items
Supported modules M3-2, M3-2c, M6-2, M6-2c, , M6-2 extended conveyor, M6-2SP
(note 1)
Required units PH2 sensor, calibration block (note 2)
Software NXT application V5.40 or higher
Fuji Flexa: V6.0.0
Required external tool Tool to uncompress LZH formatted files (note 3)
Note 1: For lines that use the panel height detection function, all machines in the line must
support the function.
Note 2: The calibration block is attached and adjusted at the factory before the module is
shipped. This cannot be attached or removed by users.
Note 3: Prepare this separately because it is not included on the NXT installation disk.

• Restrictions when using this function

• Panel surface condition
• In general the surface area to use for measuring the panel height is resist
surfaces that have copper foil underneath. Measurement is not possible for silk
print surfaces, lands, copper foil surfaces, and surfaces with holes or cutouts.
However, it is possible under certain circumstances (note) to perform
measurements on a resist surface that do not have copper foil under it
• An area of 1 x 1 mm is required for measurement. And the color within this area
must remain the same.

• Panel height measurement surface - no. of measurement points

The methods for setting up measurement points for panel height compensation and for
panel warp check are different.
When performing both panel height compensation and panel warp checks, specify
measurement points using the panel height compensation method.
1. Set 3 points uniformly on all sides of the panel and 1 point in the center of the panel,
making a total of 9 points. Allocate measurement points so that all placing points are
within the area bound by the 8 peripheral points. For outside of the 8 points,
compensation is performed based on Z0 for the panel clamp surface. (When there are
special compensation points, set measurement points around their vicinity.)

Measurement is not possible in the areas 1 mm around the panel edges, and therefore
measurement points cannot be set in these areas. When pushing the panel, it is not
possible to measure in the area 1 mm from the panel push in the Y-direction (4 mm from
panel edge).
A data check error will occur if measurement points are set in the following areas.
Y-axis reference rail side: 1 mm from edge
Y-axis adjustable rail side: 1 mm from edge
X-axis (both sides): 1 mm from edge
Note: When pushing the panel, there are cases in which measurement results are not

For panels larger than the fixed panel size, there is a region in the X-direction where
measurement cannot be performed, and therefore measurement points cannot be set
in these areas. An error occurs during a data check if points are set in these areas.
However, for panels in which there are areas that cannot be measured, it may be possible
to measure in those areas by changing the panel stopping position.

The PH2 sensor measures diagonally in the X (+) direction, and therefore measurement
is not possible in the area in the X (+) direction from parts. This area extends by the "part

• A data check is not performed.
• With panels for which panel rotation is performed, think in terms of the rotated
panel direction.

• If measurement points are set in an immeasurable area, measurement may not

be possible or the part surface may be detected as the panel surface.
• If the panel is reclamped, placing height measurement is performed again under

the assumption that the panel warp condition has changed. As a result, if
measurement points are set in the area in which measurement cannot be
performed due to the parts placed by that machine, measurement is possible
prior to placement, however, there are times when measurement is no longer
possible or the part surface is mistaken for the panel surface after placement.
Panel removal is required if unable to perform measurement.

• Maximum part size restrictions

It is necessary for parts to be within the maximum part size in the following table to
prevent interference between the PH2 sensor and parts. Consequently, if parts larger
than the maximum part size restriction are set on modules for which "PH2" is set for
[Panel Height Sensor] in the job, an error occurs when performing a data check.
Head type Maximum part size (mm)
H01 head 32 x 162
OF head 16 x 165 (diagonal 166 mm or less and short side 32 mm

or less), 74 x 74

less), 68 x 68
Holder B 32 x 180, 74 x 74
Other heads Same as head specifications
• If a data check error occurs due to part size, run the optimizer.
• When a module is changed from one that does not have a PH2 sensor to one
that does and there are parts that exceed the limits shown in the above table, it
is necessary to optimize the job again.

previously transmitted job is deleted.
• Do not enable the panel height detection function for jobs used to perform PAM
at the machine.

• Using the Panel Height Detection Function for Multiboard Panels

• If there is a difference in height between boards
• Panel height mark setting method
For each board, set 3 points uniformly on all sides within the board and 1 point in the

on the board are within the area bound by the 8 peripheral points on each board.
Accuracy is not guaranteed outside the area bound by the 8 peripheral height marks.
• Note:Accuracy is not guaranteed if the number of height marks is less than the
recommended 9 points.
For placements not bound by height marks, panel height compensation is performed

• Using the panel height detection function with panels conveyed by

pallets
Because the measuring range for the panel height detection function is Z0 +5.0 mm and
Z0 -3.0 mm, it is necessary for the panel upper surface to be within Z0 ±2.0 mm. In
addition, the panel warp height tolerance range is Z0 ±2.0 mm.
• Restrictions
The panel warp tolerance range is Z0 ±2.0 mm, and therefore even if the panel warp of
±2.0 mm specified by Fuji is not exceeded, a panel warp tolerance range error may still
occur.
Additionally, placements without compensation will occur if you specify placing points
outside of the panel height measuring area when conveying panels on pallets.

• If the panel stopping position offset is set to be optimized ([General] - [Optimize

Panel Stopping Position Offset]) in the job, there are times when the panel
stopping position offset is set automatically when performing optimization.
• When performing paired module production, the right side 9 mm area of the left
module is an area in which measurements cannot be performed. Because it is
not possible to set measuring points in this region, specify measuring points in
areas that measurement can be performed.

2.4.17 Specifying whether or not a tray collision check is performed

for a tray unit-LT
This allows you to specify whether or not to check for collisions between nozzles and
trays when the gap between sub slots is small on tray unit-LTs is performed. (When it
is determined that there will be a collision, it is not possible to use one of the sub slots.)
When there actually is not going to be a collision between nozzles and trays due to special
conditions (such as low trays being used), it is possible to use both sub slots by not
performing the collision check.
• Required items
• Required software
• NXT application: V5.40 or higher
• Fuji Flexa: V6.0.0 or higher
• Supported unit
• Tray unit-LT

• Caution:If [Do Tray Collision Check] is set to "No", the data checker and optimizer operate
based on the assumption that there will be no collision. Therefore the parts set on the
machine must only be parts that will not collide with nozzles.

2.4.18 Pushing placed parts

This allows for efficient insertion of parts that require being pushed in such as shield
covers and chassis parts. By specifying these settings, actions to push down on parts
will be performed. Unlike normal sequences, push sequences only include the push
action. Pickup actions and vision processing are not performed. This improves cycle
time.
• Required items
The following items are required to use the pushing placed parts function.
• Fuji Flexa: V6.0.0

• Caution:Custom nozzles to be used for pushing placed parts must be prepared by the user.

• Creating pushing placed parts data

In order to use the function for pushing placed parts, it is first necessary to create part
data to be used for performing push actions (separate from the placement part data).
• Caution:Always newly create data to be used for performing push actions and only specify
items in the [Generic] section.
1. Newly create the shape data for performing push actions.
2. In the newly created shape data, select the [Shape Process] tab and then the [Process]
tab and scroll down to display the [Place] section.
3. Specify [Yes] for the [Is Push Sequence] setting.

•
01PRG-0199E
4. Specify the part size.

• Caution:The part height is the height of the part after it has been fully inserted/placed.
Specify the value for [Shape Information] - [Body] - [Height] referring to the figure below.
The specified height should be the "Height after being pushed". (During actual operation,
the nozzle is pushed 0.3 mm further than the height specified.)
•

Specify [Length(X)] and [Width(Y)] in [Shape Information] - [Body] to match the size of the
nozzle being used.
•
01PRG-0201E

5. Select the [Vision] tab in the [Shape Process] tab.
6. Specify "253" for [Vision Type].

• Caution:Do not specify any element data.
•
01PRG-0202E
7. Select the [Process] tab in the [Shape Process] tab.
8. Scroll down to the [Place] section and specify the speeds and pressure settings for the
pushing operation.
• Caution:The following settings do not apply for push sequences.
• [Mode]
• [Table Speed]
• [Stack Placing Down Speed]
• [Stack Placing Up Speed]
• [Slow Place Speed]
• [Transport Speed]
• [Transport Speed Q]

9. Because a part is not actually being placed during this sequence, specify "No" for [Do
Place Check].
•
01PRG-0203E
10.Display the [Nozzle] section in the [Process] tab of [Shape Process] in the shape data.
11.Specify the nozzle to be used for the push sequence in [Name] setting.
• Caution:A data check is not performed for the nozzle specified for the push sequence.
Damage may occur if the wrong nozzle is specified. Do not enter any values for [Machine
Process Combination].
•
01PRG-0204E
12.Newly create part data for performing push actions, and specify the shape data created
above in [Property] - [Part Shape].
• Note:An existing package can be specified in [Property] - [Package Name] if it can be used
with the feeder configuration. If you wish to specify various push conditions (for example,
different nozzles or different push pressures), create separate data for each condition using
the procedure above.

• Specifying push coordinates

Specify the push coordinates the same as for a normal sequence.
•
When wanting to specify a

fixed order, specify the next
fixed sequence in the [Place
Before] column.
In this case, the order is
fixed from (1) to (4).
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
01PRG-0205E
Because there are restrictions on the order in which the part to be pushed should be
placed and when the push sequence should be performed, [Place Before] settings must
be specified. Specify the push sequence in the [Place Before] column of the part which
is to be pushed. If multiple push sequences are to be used on the same part, specify the
next push sequence to be performed in the [Place Before] column of the preceding push
sequence.
Ensure that the [Board ID] specified for the push sequence(s) is the same as that for the
part that is to be pushed.

• Setting push slots

Specify feeder setup settings the same as for normal sequences. Specify the push
sequence(s) in open slots in the same way as for normal sequences. If performing push
actions under various conditions, specify settings for each condition. Feeder setup
settings are required, but it is not necessary to set any parts on the machine.
•
01PRG-0206E
• Caution:
1. The sequences can be allocated anywhere so long as the slots are empty. However, it is
recommended to allocate feeder slots when using tray unit-Ms and/or tray feeders. Push
actions cannot be performed at a module with no empty slots.
2. If specifying push sequences in slots reserved for a tray unit-LT, parts are not supplied
from the supply magazine.
3. Also, when performing production that requires alternate device allocation, the push
sequence must also be allocated with an alternate device.
4. Furthermore, when stacked tray production is being performed with a tray unit-LT, if a
push sequence is specified for a slot above a slot being used for normal parts, this will
limit the number of levels that can be used for stacked trays.
5. If tray verification with position check is being used, specify it so that push sequences and
normal parts are not in adjoining sub slots.
• When board skips are specified, push sequences are also automatically
skipped. However, when device skips are specified for parts which are to be
pushed after placement, the push sequence(s) for the part are not skipped.
When specifying a device skip for parts which are to be pushed after placement,
be sure to specify skips for the push sequence(s) for the parts as well.
• When the part placement coordinates that were to be pushed have changed, the
push position coordinates must be changed to match. Be aware that they do not
automatically change.
• The [Place Before] setting cannot be specified when using paired module
production, therefore do not use the push sequence function on paired modules.
Be aware that, as with [Place Before], a data check is not performed.

2.4.19 Conveying panel considering protruding parts

When producing panels on which parts such as connectors protrude from the edge of the
panel, if the protrusion is in the direction of panel conveyance, the out sensor on the
conveyor mistakenly detects the connector when panels are unloaded and an overrun
error occurs.
Also, if the protrusion is the opposite direction to panel conveyance, panels cannot be
stopped at the correct position for placement when they are loaded, which means that
fiducial marks cannot be read.
The following settings must be specified in order to solve these problem.
• Required items
• Fuji Flexa: V6.0.0 or higher
• Creating jobs
Specify the following settings in the job when placing parts that protrude from the edge of
the panel in the machine. Refer to "•Performing production when parts that protrude

b. Optimize after editing the job.

2.5 Line Balancing

Line balance is performed to balance the workload of each machine as much as possible.
Due to the unique nature of putting multiple NXT-2/NXT-2c bases together to create one
large NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, the concept of line balancing has greatly changed for
lines with only NXT-2/NXT-2c bases. For a line with only NXT-2/NXT-2c bases made
up into one NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, all parts will be simply assigned to the NXT-2/NXT-
2c machine. This will still be an important step for lines with multiple machines though.
However, there is a special outside line balancer/optimizer available for multi-machine
NXT lines called NXT Multi Machine Optimizer. Refer to section 2.6 "Optimizing" for
procedures on using this software to line balance/optimize.
• Note:This means that if a NXT-2/NXT-2c machine is the only machine in a line then the
assign part command can be used to simply assign all of the parts to the NXT-2/NXT-2c
machine.
2.5.1 Line balancing in Job Builder

Follow the procedures below to line balance using the function in Job Builder.
1. Select [Line Balance] from the [Tools] menu and the [Line Balancer Options] dialog box
displays.
2. Select the appropriate option and click [Start] to start the line balancing process and the
[Line Balancer] dialog box displays with the current status of the balancing process. If
the option “Do not use current feeder allocation” is used, then all of the parts are
assigned to the different machine without considering any parts already set in the feeder
setups. If the option “Use current feeder allocation” is selected, then parts are assigned
to machines while considering any parts already present in the feeder setup. This
means that if a part is already in the feeder setup for a machine, then the matching part
is possibly assigned to that machine.
3. If there are any errors, click [Error Details] to view the errors. Once completed, click
[Close] to close the dialog box. If there were errors, note what the errors were and
correct them and then rebalance the line again.
2.5.2 NXT Multi Job Line Balancer (option)

The NXT Multi Job Line Balancer is exclusively for creating feeder setups that contribute
to the reduction of feeder changeover time for NXT machines. This software is an
option and requires a license in order to use it.
• Important points to note before using the NXT Multi Job Line
Balancer.
Be sure to note the following points.
• Part data on the part data server is used by this software. Therefore, copy the
part data to be used from the jobs to the server if they are not already on the part
data server.
• Select a line that includes an NXT machine type for all jobs being used in the
NXT Multi Job Line Balancer.
The NXT Multi Job Line Balancer does not change parts assignments. Specify the above
settings as required before using this tool.

of Reserved and Fixed used for line or feeder setup] setting cannot be altered, but the
feeders only variable status feeders can be altered freely.
14.In the [Settings] group box, select the appropriate setting.
Setting Description
Group jobs for batch A common feeder allocation for multiple jobs is created and
changeover: the jobs are grouped. There are times when multiple groups
are possible. In this case, changeover between groups occurs
but the groups do not share a common feeder allocation.
Reduce feeder A common feeder allocation for multiple jobs is created and
changeover times: the jobs are grouped. There are times when multiple groups
are possible. In this case, changeover between groups
occurs. However, the feeder allocation of the previous group
is considered. As a result, a feeder allocation is created that
reduces feeder allocation changeover as much as possible.
Compared to [Group jobs for batch changeover], the number
of feeder changeovers is reduced. However, it is difficult to
balance the cycle time.

and a bucket type feeder pallet is used.

23.If performing paired module production, then specify the settings you want to use below.
Setting Description
Optimize panel This specifies whether or not the panel stopping position is
stopping position optimized for paired module production. This is only for M3-2
modules when they are performing paired module production.
Optimize for single This specifies whether or not paired module production is used
module production for panels between 250 and 305 in length. This setting has no
bearing for panels outside of this range. If this is not selected
and the panel size is within the range, the M3-2 modules are
automatically paired for paired production. If this is selected
not paired. For panels smaller than the range, M3-2 modules
are never paired. For panels larger than the range, M3-2
modules are always paired.
Allocate parts in the This specifies whether or not to allocate parts that are in the
interference area to M6 head interference area during paired module production to
modules M6-2 (SP) modules if possible. By selecting this option, head
waiting time during paired module production is reduced.
However, more parts are assigned to the M6-2 (SP) module.

2.6 Optimizing
After balancing the line, the parts need to be distributed to the different modules and the
sequences for each module need to be arranged in the optimum order to minimize cycle
time. The optimizer is used to arrange the sequences in the best order. In addition to
the optimizer within Job Builder, there is another optional optimizer for optimizing
different jobs or sides. NXT Dual Production Optimizer is capable of optimizing two
different jobs to run on different lanes or two sides of a panel using two different lanes.
For procedures on using this optimizer, refer to section 2.6.3 "NXT Dual Lane
Optimization (for dual lane production)".
2.6.1 Optimizing in Job Builder

2c machine. It is not necessary to generate recipes for the NXT-2/NXT-2c.

2.6.2 NXT Multi Machine Optimizer

Generally, an NXT line consists of "one" NXT machine (made up of multiple bases). With
this configuration, line balancing is very simple and all of the parts are simply assigned
to the NXT machine. The parts assigned to the various modules is optimized and
rearranged during the optimization process. However, if the NXT line is comprised of
multiple NXT "machines", then use this software to line balance and optimize the job.
• Job condition before using NXT Multi Machine Optimizer

The job must be in the condition below before using this software.
• The line must be already selected in the job.
• The basic configuration of the line must already be set (number and type of
modules and if not doing head or nozzle optimization, the heads and nozzles for
each module).
• All of the marks to be used must be assigned to the machines.
• All of the parts to be placed must be assigned to at least one machine. (This
software does not assign unassigned parts; it just moves assigned parts from
one machine to another.)

selected in the [Line Configuration] list is optimized (if no
machines are selected, then the first machine is automatically
selected).
Support XPF Select this option if there are XPF machines in the line with the
NXT. By selecting this, the XPF will be considered during
optimization of the NXT machines.
8. At STEP 2, specify the settings for the conveyor in the [Conveyor Settings] group box.
Setting Description
Conveyor Mode This setting specifies the panel conveyance mode to be used
for production for determining optimization.
Board Flow This specifies the direction in which the panels flow through
the machine. This settings does not actually control the
direction in the machine but is used for job related processing
in Fuji Flexa.
Lane 2 reference rail This specifies whether or not the reference rail for the second
setting lane can move to different positions. If this is set to "Fixed" the
reference rail cannot move to different positions and a setting
must be specified for [Interval between lane 1 and 2 (mm)].
Interval between lane 1 This setting is only available when the setting for [Lane 2
and 2 (mm) reference rail setting] is "Fixed". This setting specifies the
location at which the reference rail for lane 2 will be fixed.
Target Conveyor This specifies the target lane on which the job will be
optimized. If set to "Lane 1", then the job is optimized with the
premise that the panels are to be loaded on lane 1.

9. If performing paired module production, then specify the desired settings in the [Paired
Module Production] group box.
Setting Description
Optimize For Single This specifies whether or not paired module production is used
Module Production for panels between 250 and 305 in length. This setting has no
bearing for panels outside of this range. If this is not selected

not paired. For panels smaller than the range, M3-2 modules
are never paired. For panels larger than the range, M3-2
modules are always paired.
Optimize Panel This specifies whether or not the panel stopping position is
Stopping Position optimized for paired module production. This is only for M3-2
Offset modules when they are performing paired module production.
Allocate Parts To M6 This specifies whether or not to allocate parts that are in the
Module head interference area during paired module production to
M6-2 (SP) modules if possible. By selecting this option, head
waiting time during paired module production is reduced.
However, more parts are assigned to the M6-2 (SP) module.
10.Click [Next] when completed making settings.
11.At STEP 3, specify the optimization options you want to use. For details on the settings
refer to the table below.
• Note:Head optimization does not change the heads on modules with OF, or G04 heads nor
can it allot these heads. These are special heads and if they are being used, then they
should be specified in their modules in the job before using NXT Multi Machine Optimizer.
Setting Description
Reallocate feeders If this option is selected, then feeders that have a variable
status can be moved or even deleted if they are not needed
during optimization. If this option is not selected, then already
existing feeders cannot be moved or deleted and any newly
required feeders can be set in empty slots only.
Allocate parts with This specifies whether or not parts with many placements will
excessive sequences be broken up into multiple feeders and set into different
to multiple modules modules. If this is selected, parts with many placements can
be set in multiple feeders and placed on multiple modules if
possible.
Divide parts on fixed Specify whether to reallocate parts on fixed feeders when
feeders [Allocate parts with excessive sequences to multiple modules]
is selected. When this is selected, parts on fixed feeders can
be allocated to other modules to reduce cycle time.
Use current feeder When the [Reallocate Feeders] option is selected, this
setup specifies whether or not the current feeder setup will be
changed or not. If this is not selected and the [Reallocate
Feeders] option is selected, then the current feeder positions
and settings are completely ignored and all feeders are
redistributed. If there are variable status feeders that are not
being used in the current job in the feeder setup, these feeders
are removed.

Setting Description
Optimize insert order When this is not selected, insert order, feeders, head setup,
only nozzle stations and other items can be optimized/changed
during optimization. Only the insert order is changed during
optimization when this is selected.
Optimize nozzle This specifies whether the nozzle allocation should be

station optimized or not. If this is selected, the nozzles in the nozzle
station will be changed to be "optimized" for production. If this
is not selected, then optimization is performed without
Nozzle station nozzle Specify the nozzle station nozzle arrangement method.
allocation method "Minimum" arranges for the minimum number nozzles
required by the head. "Maximum" arranges for the maximum
number of nozzles allowable in the station.
Optimizer Type This setting specifies the level of optimization to be performed.

"Speed" performs optimization with a priority on achieving a
relatively fast cycle time and processing is performed quickly.
"Optimal" performs optimization with a priority on achieving
the fastest cycle time and processing takes longer. "Time
Limit" performs processing the same as "Optimal" but within a
specified time limit.
Processing time limit This only displays if [Optimizer Type] is set to "Time Limit".
This specifies the time limit in minutes that the optimizer has
to complete processing.
Used feeder type Specify the whether of not reel holders are on the feeders. If
set to "Reel holder", the optimizer positions feeders in the
feeder setup considering that the feeders have reel holders. If
this is set to "Reel holder-E", the optimizer positions feeders in
the feeder setup considering that feeders have no reel holders
and a bucket type feeder pallet is used.
Performs basic head When this is selected, the setup of the heads is considered
optimization during optimization and the heads/nozzle stations used are
changed to best suit the job. The GL, G04 and OF heads are
not considered when using this option and will not be moved,
added, or deleted because these are special head types. If
using these head types, manually set them in the job before
optimizing. In addition, the quantity and head types available
for optimization are specified in the STEP 4 when this option
is selected. When this option is not selected, STEP 4 is
skipped.
12.IClick [Next] to display the next step.

Color
For the NXT-2/NXT-2c, this is used for vision processing of parts. Parts that are using the
body detection vision types must have the color specified as “White”.
The vision type that this setting must be “White” are: 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 71, 74, 80, 153,
160, and 251.
Parts using these vision type that do not appear “white” in the images (the body is completly
black with no leads), cannot be vision processed using these vision types.

Lead
Pitch Tolerance
It is the tolerance allowed for the deviation from the pitch as a percentage of the lead pitch
length. If no setting is made here, processing is carried out using a default value of 30%.
Element Information
Set element related data. An element is a group of leads on the same side of a part which
have the same length, width, and pitch. As there may be several elements on a part,
numbers are assigned to the elements for identification purposes.
Double-click the data cell for this field and the [Element Information] dialog box displays.

Result
Specify the type of check which will be performed on the leads in the element. Normally,
this is set to [Inspect]. The check items are described below.
Group Setting Description
Vision Inspect This setting is specified for standard parts which do

Processing not have special shapes.
Options
Don't Inspect The element is not inspected.
Virtual Lead This setting is used to define virtual leads. When

the part is inspected, the vision processing system
verifies that there are no leads in the virtual lead
area. This function is useful for polarity checks.
Matrix Use this for BGAs and flip chips. Because the leads
are defined as a two dimensional array on these
parts, two records are necessary to define one
element. Result is set to [Inspect] in the first
element and in the second element result is set to
[Matrix]. The [Matrix] setting alerts the vision
processing system that this is a grid-type part and
that two consecutive element records describe one
element.

Group Setting Description
Check Items No Length Select this item to disable the lead length tolerance
Tolerance Check check. This setting is used when there is a wide
variation in the length of the leads.
No Width Select this item to disable the lead width tolerance

Tolerance Check check. This setting is used when there is a wide
variation in the width of the leads.
First Pin Check Use this to check that there is no lead to the left of
the very first lead detected (leads are inspected
from left to right).
Last Pin Check Select this item to enable the last pin check function.
In left to right vision processing of leads, this
function verifies that there is no lead to the right of
the last detected lead. In top to bottom vision
processing of leads, it verifies that there is no lead
below the last detected lead.

3.3.4 Shape Process details

Body
Location Pin Length
Specify the length in mm of any locating pins on the shape if they are present. This setting
is especially required if using the insertion pressure function.
Part Pattern Tolerance X / Part Pattern Tolerance Y

This item is enabled for when Vision Type 240 to 242 is set in VPDplus. Check the help file
in VPDplus for more details.
Lead
Check Point
Specify the point on the leads (measured from the end of the lead) that is checked. If 0 is
specified, the check occurs at the lead's 30% position. The following settings represent
general guidelines for various parts.
Part Type Setting
SOP / QPF 10 to 90% (standard setting: 30%)
PLCCs / SOJ 50 to 70% (standard setting: 60%)
BGA / Flip Chip 50%
Quantity Check Limit

Specify the number of leads on leaded parts which must be detected for the part to pass
inspection. If this is set to 100%, all the leads must be detected. If set to 90%, 90% of the
leads must be detected. This is normally set to 100%.
Lead Brightness
This sets the brightness level for leads (bumps) that is used when automatic determination
of lead brightness is difficult. Correspondingly larger values should be specified for brighter
leads. When set to 0, brightness is determined automatically.
Process - Nozzle
Minimum Diameter
Specify the minimum nozzle diameter which can be used to pick up the part with the shape.
Maximum Diameter
Specify the maximum nozzle diameter which can be used to pick up the part with the shape.
Name
Set this parameter for special nozzles. Although a nozzle is normally identified by the size
of its circular pickup area, a name is specified for special non-circular nozzles.
Load Check
Specify whether to check the nozzle load at constant intervals during production.

Process - Pick
Do Auto Offset
Specify whether automatic compensation is performed for pick-up offsets. When No is
specified, the center of the part is used as the part pick-up position. However, pick-up at
the part center may not be possible for various reasons. To counter this, the amount of
offset is calculated by vision processing and this information can be fed back to the pick-up
position so that the part can be picked up at its center.
If parts are not being correctly picked up at their centers and "Do Auto Offset" is set to Yes,
the offset between the nozzle center and the part center is calculated so that subsequent
parts can be correctly picked at their centers.
Pick Check Mode

Specify the method to check if a nozzle has picked up a part during pickup.
Offset X / Offset Y
Normally, parts are picked up at the center of their bodies. However, for some odd shaped
parts this is not possible. If necessary, specify an offset from the center of the packaging
cavity to the pickup point on the body for the part to pick-up such parts. If 0 is entered, the
pickup point is the center of the packaging cavity.
Offset Q
When using custom nozzles, specify the nozzle rotation angle to match the angle of the part
in the cavity.
Heads that support this function:

H01, H02, H04S, G04, OF heads
(For H04 and H04S heads, only supported for single nozzle operation)
Nozzles that support this function:

Custom nozzles (including mechanical chucks and claws for OF head)
Offset Z
Specify an up or down offset for the pickup position of the part in a feeder cavity.
Tray Pick Offset Z

Specify an up or down offset for the pick-up point of the part in a tray cavity.
Soft Pick Speed

Specify the percentage of the maximum possible Z-axis speed at which the part is carried
after pick-up.
Enable Pressure Sensor

This specifies whether or not the part using the shape data is picked with 220 gf when using
a pressure sensor equipped head. If set to "Yes" the part is picked using pressure conrol,
while if the setting is "No" the pressure control is not used when the part is picked. This
setting is only applicable for heads with this sensor. This setting has priority over soft pick-
up settings.
Do Prerotation
This setting is ignored by the NXT-2/NXT-2c. Prerotation is automatically performed on
heads that support this function.

Do Part Height Check

Specify whether or not to perform a height check of the part. This setting is only used if the
head can check the part height.
Do Prerotation for Custom Nozzle

Specify whether or not to rotate parts to (or near to) the placement angle prior to vision
processing when using custom nozzles. This setting is only valid for the H01, H02, and G04
heads.
Clamp Width
Specify the width of the part at the clamping position. This setting is only valid for the OF
head.

Process - Pick - Tolerance Check

Tolerance X / Tolerance Y
This sets the tolerance for misalignment of the nozzle center and part center. The machine
rejects the part if these tolerances are exceeded.
Tolerance Q
Specify the tolerance for misalignments between the nozzle and part centers in the Q
direction. Generally, 30 degrees is entered for Tolerance Q. For parts with a body
dimension larger than 20 mm, input 15 degrees.
Process - Pick - MTU

Shuttle Speed
Specify the shuttle speed at which an TU tray is loaded into the machine. A setting of 5 is
the fastest speed for a TU-LT/LTC, while a setting of 1 is the slowest.
Magazine Speed
Specify the acceleration/deceleration rate used when raising and lowering trays in the TU
(Standard, Mid, and Low).
Process - Place
Do Place Check
Specifies whether or not a check is performed if a part that should have been placed is
remaining on the nozzle. This setting is only used for heads that support this function (for
example, H01, H12SQ).
Offset X / Offset Y
Specify an offset value for part placement in the X- and Y-directions.

Offset Z
Specify an offset value for part placement height.
Pressure
Specify the force to be used to place a part using this shape when placed using a
compatible head. The valid range for the NXT-2/NXT-2c is 220 gf to 1020 gf. If "0" is
specified here, the part is placed using no pressure control. When settings less than the
minimum are specified, the part is placed using the minimum pressure. When settings
more than maximum are specified, the part is placed using the maximum pressure. This
setting is only applicable for heads that support this function. This setting has priority over
soft placement settings.
Transport Speed
Specifies the maximum speed (%) at which the nozzle moves along the XY axis while
transporting a part from pickup to placement.
Transport Speed Z
Specify the maximum speed at which the nozzle moves along the Z axis while transporting
a part (i.e., from pickup to placement).
Transport Speed Q
Specify the maximum speed at which the nozzle rotates while transporting a part (I.e., from
pickup to placement).
Soft Place Speed

This sets the Z-axis transport speed. This is the speed at which the part is lowered to the
surface of the board. If this speed is too high, the part will spring back when the nozzle
retracts, resulting in a misalignment.
Place Motion Selection

Specify the pressure (torque) method to be used for insertation pressure. The default
setting of "0" disables this function. Enter a value between 1 to 4 to enable insertion
pressure placing. If 5 is entered, insertion pressure is not used but if a claw is used to pick
the part, the margin between the top of the part and the ledge on the claw will be 0 mm
(normally there is a clearance of 0.5 mm).
Setting Description
0 Insertion pressure is not used and the part is picked up and

placed normally.
1 to 4 Any setting in this range is treated the same. Insertion

pressure is used for placement. The part is picked up normally
and during placement, the torque amount specified in [Placing
Thrust Pressure] is used. If the torque is not reached in the
proper placing height range, an error occurs and the part is not
placed. (Operation is different for these settings for older
machines. In order to preserve compatibility with older
machines, this is used no matter what setting is specified.)
5 Insertion pressure is not used and the part is picked up and

placed normally.
Note: Always ensure to use backup pins underneath the panel when using insertion pressure.

Note: When an insertion error occurs and the user then clears the error, the machine determines
that the part has been placed and proceeds to the next placement sequence when
production is resumed. (Recovery is not performed)
Placing Thrust Pressure

Specify the force between 39.2 N to 98 N to be used to insert the part in newtons when
insertion pressure is to be used (a setting of 1 to 4 is set for [Place Motion Selection]).
Placement Wait Time

Specify the time that the axis stops at the lower Z-axis limit for the placement. If a value
shorter than the default time specified for the head type is specified, then the time specified
in this setting is ignored and the time for the head type is used instead.
Stack Placing Down Speed

Specify the lowering speed of the Z-axis during Package-on-Package placement.
Stack Placing Up Speed

Specify the raising speed of the Z-axis during Package-on-Package placement.
Do Place Precision Priority

Specify whether or not to perform placement with high placing accuracy. If [Yes] is
selected, parts with this shape data are assigned to M6SP modules with high accuracy
placing heads (H01, H02, F04 and G04). If [No] is selected, then parts with this shape data
are assigned to modules without consideration of the accuracy of the head.
Panel Stopping Position Correction

Specify whether the part requires panel stopping position correction. This item is enabled
when "Target Parts" is specified for Reference Mode in the [Process Options] settings.
Setting Description
Yes The part requires panel stopping position correction.
No The part does not require panel stopping position correction.

Pin Check
Pin Check Mode
Specify the type of check to be performed to check the direction of the part. The checks
“Bottom Mark” and “Bump” are supported on the NXT-2/NXT-2c. If a mode other than those
two are specified, then the NXT-2/NXT-2c ignores the pin check modes settings and a
direction check is not performed. If the part matches the specified conditions, then the part
direction is considered to be correct and normal vision processing is performed. If the part
does not match the specified conditions, then the direction is considered to be incorrect and
an error occurs.
Setting Description
Cut [Area] Perform a Cut Check.
To set a cut check position, set only [Upper Left X] and [Upper
Left Y]. (Set the others to 0.0.) To set a pin check area, set
[Lower Right X] and [Lower Right Y] as well.
Mark An IC mark check (I.e. a check for printing on the surface of

the part) is performed.
Mark 180 An IC mark check is performed for all parts. However, if an

error occurs, the part is rotated 180 degrees and checked
again. If the part passes the second check, the remaining parts
will likewise be rotated when picked up.
Mark 1st An IC mark check is performed only for the first part from a
tray.
Bottom Mark This is used to check for the presence or absence of a mark
on the bottom of a part in a specified location. This check can
be performed for all vision types.
Bump This is used to check for the presence or absence of a bump

(ball lead) on the bottom of a part in a specified location. This
check can only be performed for vision types that are for parts
with bumps.
The following two items describe how the "cut" and "IC mark" checks are performed.
IC Mark Check
The optional IC mark check camera is used to read the surface of the part and depending
on the presence or absence of a mark (I.e. item with a different color than the body) in the
specified area, the orientation of the part can be assessed. The IC mark check camera must
be installed to use this function.

Cut Check
A standard part camera is used to take a picture of the part. The center and boundaries of
the part are detected and the orientation of the part is judged to be correct if a white color
is detected at the specified point or area.
Is Mark Present
This setting only displays if [Mark **] is specified for the pin check. Specify the check
method when the IC mark check is selected.
Is Bottom Mark Present

This setting only displays if “Bottom Mark” is specified for the pin check. Specify whether
or not a bottom mark should be present in the specified area for orientation to be judged as
being correct.
Is Bump Present
This setting only displays if “Bump” is specified for the pin check. Specify whether or not a
bump should be present in the specified area for orientation to be judged as being correct.
Upper Left X / Upper Left Y

Specify the upper left X-coordinate of the check range in millimeters. The reference point
is the center of the body with the part oriented in the zero direction.
Lower Right X / Lower Right Y

Specify the lower right X-coordinate of the check range in millimeters. The reference point
is the center of the body with the part oriented in the zero direction.
CCD Level
Specify the camera brightness for the bottom mark check.
CCGA Check
Specify whether or not to perform a CCGA part direction check.
Coplanarity
Do Coplanarity
Specify whether a coplanarity check is made with the optional coplanarity unit. Refer to the
coplanarity manual for information on the settings in this section.

dipped in flux.

Slow Dipping Height

Specify the height at which the Z-axis starts decelerating on its descent to the flux and ends
accelerating on its ascent from the flux.
Slow Dipping Down Speed

Specify the speed (%) after deceleration of the Z-axis during flux application. However, if
the machine has a [Slow Dipping Speed] setting specified, then that setting is used.
Slow Dipping Up Speed

Specify the speed (%) before acceleration of the Z-axis rising during flux application.
However, if the machine has a [Slow Dipping Speed] setting specified, then that setting is

3.5 P Pattern Details

The P Pattern specifies the way the lead appears to the vision processing system and how
the processing of the lead information for the part is to be performed. In addition, it is
necessary to be aware that the placing position is affected by the specified P Pattern.
3.5.1 P Patterns used for the NXT-2/NXT-2c

The following P Patterns are valid for use on the NXT-2/NXT-2c with the frontlight system.
P Pattern Example Details Lead

4 SOIC Lead tip and width detection is performed.

The results are used for positioning
information. Lead length is not used for
positioning information with P Pattern types
12 and 14.
SOJ The lead ends do not display well, but lead

length is used for acquiring position
information. Lead length is not used for
acquiring positioning information with P
Pattern type 12.
6 LCC Leads point into the body and the lead tips
and width are detected. These results are
used for positioning information.
12 PLCC Because the lead ends do not display well,

lead width only is used for acquiring position
information. In some cases, processing is
more stable when using P Pattern type 14.
14 QFP Lead tip and width detection is performed.

Because the lead width direction positioning is
only required for determining the positioning,
only the lead width direction results are used
for positioning information.
16 LCC Leads extend into the body and the lead tips
and width are detected. These results are
used for positioning information. Because the
lead width direction positioning is only
required for determining the positioning, only
the lead width direction results are used for
positioning information.

Because the lead and body boundary is clearly defined, all four sides of the leads are
checked and the results are used to determine the part positioning.
Type 1: The leads appear black and the outside circumference is white.
Type 2: The leads appear white and the outside circumference is black.
These are primarily used for parts with bumps.

Type 1: White body bumped parts processed with frontlighting.
Type 2: Black body bumped parts or CCGAs processed with frontlighting.

The leads extend out from the body of the part and are attached to the body at the base of
the lead. Due to this, the base cannot be checked with a caliper. The lead tips and widths
are checked and the results are used to determine the part positioning.
These are primarily used for parts with leads on one side or two opposing sides.
With parts that have leads on two perpendicular sides or more, the lead width direction is
only required for determining the positioning, therefore it is recommended to select a
different P Pattern (type: 12, 14) that matches the processing conditions.

Black background and body SOP/SOJ parts processed with frontlighting.
Type 6
Type 6
30PRG-0052E
The leads point towards the inside of the body of the part (opposite from type 4) and are
attached to the body at the base of the lead. Due to this, the base cannot be checked with
a caliper. The lead tips and widths are checked and the results are used to determine the
part positioning.
These are primarily used for parts with leads on one side or two opposing sides.
With parts that have leads on two perpendicular sides or more, the lead width direction is
only required for determining the positioning, therefore it is recommended to select a
different P Pattern (type: 12, 16) that matches the processing conditions.

Parts with leads pointing towards inside of the body and has a black background and body
and is processed with frontlighting.

Type 12
Type 12
30PRG-0053E
These are used for parts with leads that are attached to the body at both ends of the leads
and whose lead detection is not stable. The lead widths are checked and the results are
used to determine the part positioning.
Except for parts using vision type 151 and picked up by a mechanical chuck in the Y-
direction, these P Patterns can only be used for parts that have leads on two perpendicular
sides or more. However, if it is possible to detect either end of the lead in a stable manner,
it is recommended to select a different P Pattern (type: 14, 16) that matches the processing
conditions.
Furthermore, the information for the part positioning using the lead length is not acquired
so these types cannot be used for parts with leads on one side or two opposing sides only

Parts with lead tips that poorly reflect using vision type 151 and a mechanical chuck to pick
the part in the Y-direction processed with frontlighting.
Type 14

30PRG-0054E
Basically, these are the same as P Pattern type 4. The major difference is that with these
P Patterns, the outward pointing lead tip is not used for determining the part positioning.
The lead width detection results only are used to determine the part positioning. The lead
tip detection results are used only as reference data for internal vision processing items.
It is only possible to use this for parts that have leads that are to be detected on two
perpendicular sides or more.
so these types cannot be used for parts with leads on one side or two opposing sides only

Body center
The center is taken from the outer-most points of the body; top, bottom, left, and right.
(The leads have no affect on the placing coordinates.)
NXTPRG010
Part center
The part center is defined as follows.
1. Part center of non-leaded parts

The part center is taken from the outer-most points; top, bottom, left, and right.
NXTPRG011

2. Part center of parts with leads (ball grids)

The part center is calculated from the coordinates of the lead ends or from the center
coordinates of the ball grid taken from the outer-most points; top, bottom, left, and right.
The point of intersection of the center line from the outer-most points top to bottom and
the center line from the outer-most points left to right yields the part center. However, if
there are leads or a ball grid on only one side, a theoretical part center is defined based
on the part data.
The following combinations are possible based on the lead positions.
• Leads on only one side
• Leads on two opposite sides
• Leads on two adjacent sides
• Leads on three sides
• Leads on four sides
The center moves depending on the lead positions, lead lengths, and lead widths.
For parts with leads on three sides, the part center is defined as the point of intersection of
the center line from the outer-most points top to bottom and the center line from the outer-
most points left to right. As a result, the part center required for placement differs from the
actual placing position.

3.6.2 NXT-2/NXT-2c vision types

This section provides a list of the vision types for the NXT-2/NXT-2c and an explanation of
the processing method used for each type. It is possible to use older vision types for other
Fuji machines in some cases. When making part data, if the parts are to be shared between
the NXT-2/NXT-2c and other Fuji machines, use the old vision types in the “generic” section
and enter overrides for the NXT-2/NXT-2c vision type when necessary. Refer to section

First, the part position is determined using the vision type 71 processing method, and then,
direction inspection is performed based on the detection of one lead. However, the
detected lead is not used for positioning. The reference point for the part is the part center.
Note: Direction inspection is possible only if there are 2 or 3 leads on only one side.
Note: Direction inspection cannot be performed if diagonally across from the detected lead there
is a protrusion of the same shape as the lead. (Fig. 1)
Note: Using a two pin setting, detection of three pins of the same shape is not possible. (Fig. 2)
Note: Only enter one element into the element information. If 2 or more elements are entered, an
0xD62A error (element data is incorrect) occurs when the parts are being registered.

Vision Type 160 (165) White connector body detection

Enter the body size and element information for leads or projections. Vision type 160 uses
the body center while vision type 165 uses the part center. Element inspection is not
performed if the [Result] option for that element is set to "Don’t inspect".
The body inspection points are automatically determined based on the data for leads and
projections specified in the element information. When detection positions cannot be
properly determined automatically, up to two elements per side can be specified in the
element information for the body inspection points. To specify body detection points,
specify the side and then enter the coordinates for the points to be inspected in [X] and [Y]
items for the position group and enter "0" for all other items for each “detection” element in
the element information.
Note: It is necessary to define leads in element information regardless of whether lead inspection
is to be performed for those leads or not.
Note: When the body detection option is specified, data should be specified such that there is a
minimum of one side where two points can be detected and a minimum of two sides where
one point can be detected. If there are an insufficient number of detection points, an error
occurs when data is registered.
Note: If the edges of the body of a part are not clearly projected, this may result in an error or a
drop in the placing accuracy.
Note: Correct processing cannot be performed if the nozzle protrudes over the edge of the part.
Note: If the straight line obtained from the specified detection points for the same line is not
parallel nor perpendicular to the straight line obtained from the detection points of another
side, then processing cannot be performed.

Vision Type 170 Mechanical chuck part existence check

Use this vision type when part recognition is not possible using any other vision type. In the
shape data, set the vision type to 170, specify a setting for [Lead Brightness] and specify
the check area and select either 1 or 2 for the P Pattern in the element information. Based
on this data, if it is determined that the part has been picked, then the part is placed without
performing any correction based on vision. The part is positioned mechanically.
When vision processing is performed, the average greyscale of the area specified in the
element data is determined. This average is compared to the lead brightness setting and
based on the P Pattern setting it is determined whether or not the part is present.
If the P Pattern setting is 1 (dark) and the average greyscale value is higher than the lead
brightness setting, it is determined that the part is present. If the average grayscale is lower
than the lead brightness setting, then it is determined that the part is not present.
If the P Pattern setting is 2 (light) and the average greyscale value is lower than the lead
brightness setting, it is determined that the part is present. If the average grayscale is
higher than the lead brightness setting, then it is determined that the part is not present.
Note: Use a chuck with four claws when using this vision type.

Vision Type 180 (185) SOT-type parts

Use this vision type for parts with between 2 and 6 leads where the body color is black and
only the leads are visible during vision processing. Enter the body size and element
information in part data. Vision type 180 uses the body center while vision type 185 uses
the part center
Note: This vision type can be used for parts with up to six leads. Vision processing is not possible
for parts with 7 leads or more.
Note: Vision processing may not be performed if the lighting is unevenly reflected by leads.

Vision Type 181 Coil parts with two leads at 45 degree angles
Use this vision type for coil parts with 2 leads that are at 45 degree angles from the x-axis
(as shown below). The body color is black and only the leads are visible during vision
processing.
It is necessary to input the following body size and element information.
• The lead elements must be defined as “Side 0” and “Side 2”
• For each element, define the number of leads as [1].
Vision Type 210 (215) Irregular shaped parts (positioned based on bumps)
Use this vision type such as when vision processing takes a long time due to many bumps.
Vision processing is performed the same as for vision type 18. After determining the outer
part shape positioning, the individual bumps are checked and final positioning is
determined.
Consequently, it is necessary to define seek lines and bumps. It is not necessary to define
all bumps, as long as the required quantity (3) of bumps for determining the positioning and
angle have been defined.
The procedures for specifying seek lines is the same as for vision type 18. The procedures
for specifying bumps is the same as for vision type 142 and 230. You can specify different
settings for the lighting patterns.
Note: The reference point is the body center with vision type 210, while the reference point is the
part center with vision type 215.

3.7 Compatibility with Existing Part Data

3.7.1 Background
The NXT-2/NXT-2c machine supports frontlight only. As a result, it is necessary to convert
existing part data created for use with a backlight system to enable the part to be processed
using a frontlight system. The NXT-2/NXT-2c machine is equipped with a feature that
enables automatic conversion of part data created for backlight systems, however, there
are cases whereby it is necessary to make settings in the "Override" field in Fuji Flexa for
the part data of certain parts. This section provides a compatibility table for the part data of
existing machines and the NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, as well as details of limitations relating
to the part data conversion process.
It is important to point out that when making new part data, use the old vision type and P
Patterns if the data is to be used on other Fuji machines. If the data is never to be used on
older Fuji machines (only NXT-2/NXT-2c is present), then use the NXT-2/NXT-2c vision
types and the frontlight P Patterns.

no additional data entry.
Note 1
Previously, it was possible to perform vision processing for all rectangular chips using vision
type 10, however, when using frontlighting, due to the influence of leads and so forth on the
body of the part, it is necessary to separate those parts previously supported by vision type
10 into four types as detailed in the table below.

*1: There are cases in which none of the vision types in the above table are applicable.
Some examples of such parts are rectangular parts other than rectangular chips, tantalum
capacitors, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors with multiple leads inside the edge of the
part body. In this case, select an appropriate vision type from 123, 124, 144, or 180 and
enter element information for the leads based on the shape of the part.
Note: Vision type 10 is automatically converted to 60, however, if another value has been
specified in the override vision type value for the NXT-2/NXT-2c, this value will be used.
Note: Refer to section 3.6.2 "NXT-2/NXT-2c vision types" for details on how to create lead data.
Note 2
Vision type 20 is used on existing machines to process SOT-type parts with few leads,
however, on the NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, vision type 180 is used. A custom vision type is
used for power transistors.

calculated body position as the placing reference point. The NXT-2/NXT-2c machine,
however, can use either the body center or part center for the leaded (bumped) type parts.
As a result, there is no need to select a custom vision type. Select the appropriate vision
type from the following table based on the part type.

(*3) Element data required
*3: On existing machines, vision type 254 uses backlighting to place parts that cannot be
placed using other vision types. However, as NXT-2/NXT-2c uses only frontlighting, it is
necessary to choose the most appropriate vision type available. Select vision type 252
when placing white bodied parts with no leads. Vision type 252 can also be used for white
bodies parts with leads that are part of the body. If using a different vision type, element
data will be required depending on the selected vision type.
3.7.3 Entering overrides in part data

Procedure
1. Open the shape data (or part data if using non-relational mode) for the part data for
which input is required in Fuji Flexa.
2. Refer to section 3.7.2 "Vision type compatibility table for the NXT-2/NXT-2c" and enter
the new vision type in the NXT-2/NXT-2c override [Vision Type] data field.

3. Refer to section 3.7.2 "Vision type compatibility table for the NXT-2/NXT-2c" and enter
any new element information in the NXT-2/NXT-2c override [Element Information]
setting if it is necessary.
4. Save the data and exit. If the data was changed in the job, save the job.
Note: If the shape data was changed in the global library, the same shape data in any jobs for the
NXT-2/NXT-2c must be updated. Use the [Update in Jobs] command from the editor to
perform this function. If the data was changed in the job and the data is to be used in the
future, it is possible to export the changed shape data back into the shape library.

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E 4. Transmission
4. Transmission
4.1 Introduction
Transmission is used to send data between Fuji Flexa and the NXT-2/NXT-2c machines.
The most common use of Transmission is to send jobs to the modules on the NXT-2/NXT-
2c. Transmission for the NXT-series does not require outside communication programs
such as an NTCC or SECS/GEM host server. If transmitting from Job Builder, a basic data
check of the job is performed during transmission.
The NXT-series is different from previous Fuji machines in that the job is sent to the
modules, not recipes. In addition, there is only two positions for jobs, current job and next
job. On NXT-2/NXT-2c machines with double conveyors, there is an additional set of
separate positions for jobs for the second lane. It is possible to run the machine with two
different jobs, one for lane 1 and the other for lane 2.
The NXT-series does not have any calibration data or spec data like previous Fuji
machines. Special NXT-2/NXT-2c data and configuration settings is received, managed,
and transmitted to the machine through Accessory Software. Refer to the Accessory
Software Operation Manual for more details on this subject.
4.2 Transmitting

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E 5. Editing Jobs on the Machine (MEdit)
5. Editing Jobs on the Machine (MEdit)

5.1 Introduction
If panels are in a NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, it is not possible to edit the job and then transmit
the edited job back to the foreground in the machine using Fuji Flexa. Instead, MEdit is
used to edit jobs that are on machines. The job data that can be edited in MEdit is “safe”
to change while there are panels in the machine. If Fuji Flexa is used to edit the job, data
that can cause problems for partially produced panels can be changed and when the job is
sent to the machine, production problems occur. For example, if a job is reoptimized, it is
possible that the feeder setup and insert order across modules will be changed. If a partially
produced panel is in the machine, parts that were previously placed might be placed again
on the panel or there may be missing parts. MEdit limits the things that can be changed to
prevent these sort of problems from happening. In addition, MEdit also provides some
specialized functions for working with the NXT-2/NXT-2c such as the skip functions and the
job test function.
In addition to MEdit, VPDplus can also be used to edit vision data for parts. MDW (Mark
Data Wizard) can be used to edit mark data (refer to section 5.4 "Creating Irregular Fiducial
Marks"). Both VPDplus and MDW can be started from MEdit.
There is one point about MEdit that should be understood. When the current job that is in
the machine is opened in MEdit, the actual data from the machine is not being accessed.
MEdit checks what job is in the machine and then opens the matching job in the global
directory.
The procedures provided in this chapter are basic procedures for MEdit. For details on
MEdit and using it, refer to the MEdit Operation Manual.

5. Editing Jobs on the Machine (MEdit) PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E
5.2 Opening a Job that is in the Machine

By following the procedures below, the job in the global directory that matches the job that
is currently in the machine is opened. When this is performed, changes made to the job
can be sent to the machine as well as being saved in the global job.
1. Click [Start] and then point to [Programs] - [Fuji Accessory Software] and then click
[MEdit]. MEdit is started and the MEdit window displays.
2. Click [Open Current Job] from the [File] menu. The [Acquire current production job]
dialog box displays.
Note: It is possible to open the same job with the [Open Job] command but if this command is
used, then changes cannot be sent to the machine.
NXTEJM010Ea
3. Double-click the line with the machine for the job to be edited and then double-click the
machine name to display the modules. Select the module on which the job is to be
edited. The name of the job in the module is automatically displayed in the [JOB] group
box.
Note: If the relevant machine is not displayed in the line, check the settings in [Line display
settings] in Fuji Flexa. If necessary, change the settings so that the relevant line is
displayed.
4. If necessary, select the lane on the module with the job to be edited.
5. Click [OK] and the specified data from the job is opened.
Once the job is opened, it can be edited or tested. For procedure on editing items in MEdit,
refer to the MEdit Operation Manual. The procedures for testing a job are provided in a later
section.
Once the job has been edited/tested, retransmit the edited data back to the machine.

5.3 Correcting Vision Errors Sent from the NXT-2/

NXT-2c
It is possible to make settings that if a vision error occurs for a particular feeder position,
then the vision error image will automatically be sent to the Accessory Software Server. In
Accessory Software, the image can then be opened with VPDplus and used to check the
error condtion and make any corrections as necessary. The data is then sent back to the
job in the global server. Once it has been saved back in the job, MEdit is then used to
retransmited the edited job back to the machine. This function is very useful to help
troubleshoot vision data issues with parts that have intermediate vision errors.
Note: It is not recommended to make settings so that any vision error is set to the Accessory
Software Server for all slots. This is due to the fact that when a vision error occurs and the
image is to be saved to the Accessory Software Server, the module pauses production
while the image is being sent to Accessory Software. If many vision errors occur, then
production can be delayed while waiting for the images to be sent to the server. This
function is mainly designed to be a troubleshooting tool only.
5.3.1 Specifying vision error images to be saved for certain

positions
If a particular part has frequent vision errors during production, it is possible to specify that
vision error images for that part to be sent to the Accessory Software Server. There are a
few important points that should be addressed when using this function.
• A maximum of 255 images can be saved at the Accessory Software Server.
• The module pauses production while error images are being sent and saved to
the Accessory Software Server.
1. Start Accessory Software and select the module for the machine from which to save
vision error images in Floor Monitor.
2. With the module in question selected, click the vision processing error analysis icon (the
green icon with the picture of a part) for the machine from which to receive vision error
images. The [Vision processing error analysis] screen is displayed.
3. Click [Vision processing setting] at the top right of the [Vision processing error analysis]
screen. A list of used feeder positions in the selected module is displayed.
4. Select the checkboxes for the positions for which to save vision error images.
Note: If [Detailed Settings] is clicked, it is possible to make special settings for which error images
and under what conditions are images sent to Accessory Software for positions. It is even
possible to specify that only certain errors are to be sent.
5. Click [Apply] to enable the settings.

Note: If the power to the machine is turned off or a new job is transmitted, these settings are
cleared.
Note: When a vision processing error occurs at an alternate feeder, the image is saved based on
the settings specified for the original feeder.

5.3.2 Viewing saved vision error images

Once an error image has been sent to Accessory Software, it can be displayed in any client
accessing Accessory Software. The details of the error and the image are displayed by
following the procedures below.
1. From Floor Monitor, select the module from which to view error images.
2. Click the vision processing error analysis icon for that machine. The [Vision processing
error analysis] screen is displayed with information for all of the saved images for the
selected module.
• Click [Enlarge] below an image to display that image larger.
• Click the blue text for the error code to display details about that error code.
• If there are more pictures than that can fit on one page, multiple page numbers
are displayed at the bottom of the page. Click the other page number to display
the images for that page.
• The image can be opened/saved by clicking on it. If VPDplus and VPDplus

launcher have been installed on the computer, then the image is opened in
VPDplus and the vision data can be edited.
5.3.3 Opening and editing vision data using saved images

If VPDplus and VPDplus Launcher have been installed on the computer accessing the
Accessory Software, then it is possible to open and edit the vision data for the part using
VPDplus and then reflect any changes back to the job in the server. It is important to note
the following two points.
• VPDplus must be installed on the computer. If the VPDplus license in not

available/purchased, then only the basic editing functions can be used. If a
license for VPDplus is available and the license is present, then those functions
for that license can be used (such as fit and vision test).
• VPDplus Launcher must be installed on the computer. This software links the
images to the shape data and to VPDplus. This software is available from the
download section of the Accessory Software website. If not installed, then
download and install it before attempting to open an image.
1. From Floor Monitor, select the module from which to view error images and then click
the vision processing error analysis icon for that machine. The [Vision processing error
analysis] screen is displayed with information for all of the saved images for the selected
module.
2. Display the image of the part to be edited with VPDplus.
3. Click the image and a [File Download] dialog box is displayed.
4. Select [Open] and the image is opened using VPDplus.

5. Edit the data as necessary. For details on editing items in VPDplus, refer to the VPDplus
Operation Manual or online help.
Note: If using a licensed version of VPDplus, be sure to perform a vision test of the edited settings
before saving them back to the job and restarting production.
6. Once editing is completed, select [Update Shape Data] from the [File] menu. A
confirmation message box is displayed.
7. Click [Yes] and the edited vision data is saved to the job.
8. Close VPDplus.
5.3.4 Sending edited vision data back to the machine

The edited data was saved to the job in the global job directory by using the Update Shape
Data command in VPDplus. In order to use this newly edited vision data at the machine, it
must be sent to the machine. Use MEdit to open the current job for the module with the part
and then retransmit the job back to the module in question. Refer to section 5.2 "Opening
a Job that is in the Machine" for procedures on opening the current job in the machine and
for retransmitting the job back to the machine.

5.4 Creating Irregular Fiducial Marks

5.4.1 Details
When there are no Fuji standard fiducial marks (circular, rectangular, diamond, upward-
facing right triangle, downward-facing right triangle, double square, cross) on a panel, or it
is desired to use a land pattern or other mark on a panel as a fiducial mark, it is possible to
create mark data by using images of the desired marks.
Mark center
Land pattern
01PRG-0001E
To create mark data for irregular fiducial marks, it is first necessary to acquire an image of
the mark using Accessory Software. Next, start MDW (Mark Data Wizard) from MEdit and
edit the fiducial marks. The created fiducial marks are saved in the Fuji Flexa job or library
and used as job data in production.
It is possible to register up to eight fiducial marks including global skip marks and local
marks.
Requirements
1. The position of the mark to be used as an irregular fiducial mark is already known (the
exact position can be obtained through CAD data or other data).
2. There must be no similar marks which appear in the same field of view as the fiducial
mark.
3. The panel stopping position must be stable.
4. Land patterns which are covered in solder cannot be used because the reflection may
change due to the condition of the solder. Due to this, they are not supported

operation panel.
10.Use MEdit to transmit the updated job to the machine.

5.5 Testing Skip Mark Data

It is possible to test the skip mark data in a job for board skip marks and global skip marks.
It is important to test the data because the skip mark read level that is used to determine if
a skip mark is present or not must be manually set. Due to color and reflective differences
between panels for jobs, a level that is good for one job might not be good for another job.
Thus it is important to test the data to ensure that the marks are correctly detected and there
are no false detections.
1. Click [Start] and then point to [Programs] - [Fuji Accessory Software] and then click
[MEdit]. MEdit is started and the MEdit window displays.
2. Select [Open Current Job] from the [File] menu. The [Acquire current production job]
3. Double-click the line with the machine for the job to be edited and then double-click the
edited. The name of the job in the module is automatically displayed in the [Job] group
box.
4. If necessary, select the lane on the module with the job to be edited.

the skip marks are correctly identified.
5.6 Skipping Items on the NXT-2/NXT-2c

5.6.1 Skipping boards
If always a particular board in a panel production lot needs to be skipped for some reason,
it is easy to specify a skip for this board for the production lot. There are a few important
points that should be addressed when using this function.
• When the board to be skipped is specified for the first module, that board is
skipped in all modules after the first module.
• The skip setting is only applied to new panels which means that the setting is
not applied to any panels already loaded.
• Job board skip settings and board skips due to skip marks cannot be overridden
by this function.
• Enable the machine configuration settings related to the skip function (the
procedure is listed below.) Panel conveyance time is lengthened by around 300
ms when these configuration settings are enabled.
• If a certain board is to always be skipped for all production lots, then skip the
board in the job with Fuji Flexa.
• If the boards to be skipped are not set (changes from panel to panel), then use
skip marks to skip the required boards.
Specifying the machine configuration setting to enable this function

1. Start Accessory Software and click the name of the machine for which to change the
setting in Floor Monitor.
2. If necessary, specify a user ID from the drop-down list and enter a password for the
specified user and click [Log on]. The machine accessories page is displayed.
3. Click [Machine Configuration] in the [Menu] pane. Accessory Software connects to the
machine and receives the machine information. When completed, the settings page is
displayed.
4. Select [Skip boards at the machine setting] from the [Category] drop-down list. The
settings for this category are then displayed.

5. Select the [ON] option for the [Skip boards at the machine] setting.
6. Click [Send to Machine] to send the new setting to the machine. The setting is enabled
once the completed message is displayed.
Skipping a board at the machine

1. Before loading the panel belonging to the lot for which board skipping is to be performed,
verify that no panels exist inside the first module, and push CYCLE STOP to stop
production.
2. Start MEdit and select [Board skip] from the [Tool] menu. The [Board skip] dialog box
is displayed.
3. Select the factory, line, NXT-2/NXT-2c machine and then first module in the [Module
list]. A list of the available boards and lanes is displayed in the [Board skip settings] list.
NXTEJM001E
4. Select the checkboxes for the lane and boards to be skipped.

Note: Check boxes for multiple boards can be selected by using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key. First, hold
down the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key and left-click on the number of the desired boards to highlight
those boards. Then, release the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key and select the check box for any one of
the highlighted boards. This will automatically select the check boxes for all highlighted
boards.
5. Click [OK] to apply the skip settings and then close MEdit.
Note: The new skip setting is only applied to panels that are loaded in the module after this setting
is made.
6. Begin production and load the panels for which the board skip is to be applied.
When boards are specified to be skipped, the skipped boards are displayed in the operation
panels on the modules. Confirm that the boards to be skipped are correct. Be sure to
remove the skip setting when switching to a production lot in which the previously skipped
board is to be produced.

5.6.2 Skipping feeders

Use this function to skip all the parts from a feeder. This allows production to be completed
for panels when parts are no longer available for the parts that have run out. It is important
to note the following points about this function.
• When parts are skipped, the panel is completed without placing the skipped
parts.
• This function should only be used if it absolutely necessary to skip a part to

complete production such as when a certain part runs out and will be placed on
the panel at a later time once new parts are received.
• This function is designed to be used by line management personnel.
Skipping a feeder on a module

1. As soon as a part supply runs out during production, the machine waits for the parts to
be supplied in a "recovery up" status. Perform the following steps only if parts are not
available to be resupplied.
2. Push CYCLE STOP at the module in question to stop production for that module.
3. Start MEdit and select [Feeder skip] from the [Tool] menu. The [Feeder skip] dialog box
is displayed.
4. Select the factory, line, NXT-2/NXT-2c machine, and the module in the [Module list]. A
list of the available feeders is displayed in the [Feeder skip settings] list.

Note: If a place before setting is set for a skipped part, the place before setting is disabled.
Simultaneously skip the 2 related feeders for the "place before" setting.
7. Push START at the module in question to restart production. Production is continued

without placing parts from the skipped feeder position.
Note: It is not necessary to have a feeder in the skipped position in order to continue production.
However, it is necessary to have an empty drawer set in the skip position if a tray part is
skipped on a tray unit-L.
All of the LEDs for the feeder position are turned on for skipped feeder positions. For tray
parts, skipped positions have a white numbers and the part comment text is grey in the
parts out guidance screen.

Clearing the skip setting for a feeder on a module

5.6.3 Skipping holders

Use this function to skip using a holder for a head on a module. This function makes it
possible to not use a specified holder in order to avoid using a holder at which frequent
errors occur during production or for which air leakage or clogging problems prevent normal
use. In addition, the holder skip function serves as a calibration information backup
measure. It is important to note the following points about this function.
• A holder skip status is canceled when a head change occurs.
• A holder for which calibration using a jig nozzle has not been completed cannot
be skipped.
• The holder skip function cannot be used for the H01 head, or in cases where a
skip would leave no remaining nozzles for production.
• The holder skip function cannot be used in cases where the Q-axis and/or R-
axis are not operating normally or in cases such as mechanical valve failure, in
which other holders remain unaffected.
• Recovery processing occurs for parts that were supposed to be placed by the
skipped holder. Therefore, the skip function reduces throughput.
• When skipping a holder due to a holder failure, verify that the other holders are
operating normally.
• 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.
• It is possible that an accuracy deviation may occur using a head after a failed
holder has been skipped.

Skipping a holder on a head

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. Then stop the machine.
2. Ensure that the main screen is displayed at the module.
3. Start MEdit and select [Holder skip] from the [Tool] menu. The [Holder skip] dialog box
is displayed.
list of the available holders on the head is displayed in the [Holder lists].

5.7 Testing Jobs

5.7.1 Introduction
The job test function enables users to view and edit jobs on the machine prior to starting
production. By doing this, errors that occur during the beginning of production for a new job
can be greatly reduced. There are two job test modes and the items checked by each mode
are different. Information about these two modes are provided below.
Simulation
The placement position for a specified sequence is captured using the mark camera and
the panel pattern is compared graphically with the part image (wire frame) in MEdit. This
allows the operator to check for any placement position deviations and problems with the
placing angle. In addition, it is possible to confirm that the part type is roughly correct by
comparing the wire frame of the part graphic to the actual pad arrangement. If there are
any calculated placing deviations, they can be corrected easily in MEdit and be reflected
back to the job.
The main items checked by this mode are fiducials, placement position, orientation, and
part types compared to the pads. Actual parts are not required to perform this test, just an
actual panel is required. If any problems with these items are located, corrections can be
made and checked again.
Place & Check

Parts are picked, vision processed and placed on the panel. Once a part is placed, the
mark camera takes an image of the position and that image is then displayed in MEdit with
a part graphic overlay in MEdit. This allows the operator to check for pickup errors, vision
errors, actual placement position deviations and problems with the placing angle. If there
are any errors, they can be corrected in MEdit and be reflected back to the job.
The main items checked by this mode are fiducials, feeding, feeding direction, vision data,
placing data, actual placement position, and orientation. Actual parts are required to
perform this test as well as an actual panel. If any problems with these items are located,
corrections can be made and checked again.

5.7.2 Testing a job using simulation mode

Use this mode to perform a basic check of the part types, placing positions and orientation.
Starting simulation mode.

1. Transmit the job to be tested to the machine and wait for the main screen to display on
all of the operation panels for the modules.
2. Start MEdit and log on if necessary.
4. Double-click the line with the machine for the job to be tested and then double-click the
tested. The name of the job in the module is automatically displayed in the [Job] group
box.
5. If necessary, select the lane on the module with the job to be tested.
7. Select [Job Test] - [Simulation] from the [Tool] menu. The background color of the
operation panel for the module in question turns violet to indicate that that module is in
a test mode.

8. Select the sequence to be checked from the list in MEdit and click the break point button
(the round red button). This designates that the sequence is to be checked and the
sequence gets a red circle icon in the beginning column of that sequence.
Note: It is possible to specify multiple break points. The sequences with the break points are
stopped at and the captured image is sent to MEdit to be checked. The images for non-
break point sequences are not set to MEdit to be checked, unless the next sequence
command is being used.
9. If desired, specify a starting sequence for the check by selecting the sequence to start
the machine from and then click the start sequence button (the yellow arrow button).
When the check is started, this will be the sequence at which the check will start.

10.Click the start button (the green triangle button pointing to the right) to start the check.
The machine starts the conveyor and once a panel is loaded, clamps it and starts the
check from the designated sequence. The machine uses the mark camera to acquire
images of the placing positions and these display on the operation panel. Once a break
sequence is reached, the machine acquires that position image, stops, and transmits
the image to MEdit. This image is then displayed in MEdit with a part graphic overlay.

11.Check the coordinates and angle of the part graphic in relation to the pads on the panel.
If it is necessary to change the X- or Y-position of the part, the coordinates can be
directly edited or click the positioning button (the button with the four arrows) and then
click and drag the graphic until it is positioned correctly. The direction can be changed
by clicking the rotation button (the button with the arrow shaped as a circle).

Rotate button
NXTEJM012E
12.Once completed with any necessary adjustments for the displayed position, click the
start button to continue until the next break point or click the step button (the button with
the triangle pointing at a line) to check the next sequence (even if it does not have a
break point set).
13.Continue checking sequences until all desired sequences have been checked.
Note: There are times in which MEdit will ask if the changed job should be retransmitted back to
the machine. If the job has been retransmitted and there have been no further changes to
the job, then proceed to step 17. This is because the most current data is already in the
machine so it is not necessary to retransmit the job again. If not sure whether or not the
changes to the job have already been sent to the machine then, proceed to the next step.
There are no problems if the job is retransmitted to ensure that the current data is in the
machine.

Sending changes back to the module
NXTEJM008
14.Once the sequences have been checked, click [Run Data Checker] from the [File] menu
to check the job for any problems. Once the data checker has completed checking the
job, retransmit the data back to the module.
15.Select [Retransmit Job] from the [File] menu to send the changes back to the module.
Note: It is possible to transmit the job to the module when the yellow engineering pictogram is
displayed on the operation panel of the module.
16.Recheck any changes to sequences if necessary.
Exiting simulation test mode

operation panel for the module in question turns violet to indicate that that module is in
a test mode.
Checking part positions and direction.

8. Select the sequence to be checked from the list in MEdit and click the break point button
(the round red button). This designates that the sequence is to be checked and the
sequence gets a red circle icon in the beginning column of that sequence.
Note: It is possible to specify multiple break points. The sequences with the break points are
stopped at and the captured image is sent to MEdit to be checked. The images for non-
break point sequences are not set to MEdit to be checked, unless the next sequence
command is being used.
Note: It is not possible to specify a starting sequence for place & check mode. If the module is
stopped during production and then switched to this mode, the beginning sequence is the
sequence at which production was stopped.
9. Click the start button (the green triangle button pointing to the right) to start the check.
The machine starts the conveyor and once a panel is loaded, clamps it and starts the
check from the first/stopped sequence. The machine picks parts, vision processes them
and then places them and then the mark camera acquires an image of the placed part
and position and this displays on the operation panel. Once a break sequence is
reached, the machine acquires that position image, stops, and transmits the image to
MEdit. This image is then displayed in MEdit with a part graphic overlay.
Note: It is necessary to have feeders set in the module to be tested when using place & check
mode because parts are picked from the feeder.

10.Check the coordinates and angle of the part and graphic in relation to the pads on the
panel. If it is necessary to change the X- or Y-position of the part, the cooridnates can
be directly edited or click the positioning button (the button with the four arrows) and then
click and drag the graphic until it is positioned correctly. The direction can be changed
by clicking the rotation button (the button with the arrow shaped as a circle).
11.Once completed with any necessary adjustments for the displayed position, click the
start button to continue until the next break point or click the step button (the button with
the triangle pointing at a line) to check the next sequence (even if it does not have a
break point set).
12.Continue checking sequences until all desired sequences have been placed & checked.
Note: There are times in which MEdit will ask if the changed job should be retransmitted back to
the machine. If the job has been retransmitted and there have been no further changes to
the job, then proceed to step 16. This is because the most current data is already in the
machine so it is not necessary to retransmit the job again. If not sure whether or not the
changes to the job have already been sent to the machine then, proceed to the next step.
There are no problems if the job is retransmitted to ensure that the current data is in the
machine.
Sending changes back to the module.

13.Once the sequences have been checked, click [Run Data Checker] from the [File] menu
to check the job for any problems. Once the data checker has completed checking the
job, retransmit the data back to the module.

16.Once all testing for place & check mode has been completed, select [Job Test] - [Exit]
from the [Tool] menu.
That completes the testing of the job on the specified module with place & check mode.

5.8 Testing Pickup Positions

5.8.1 Introduction
The pickup test function enables users to check and edit pickup positions in jobs on the
machine prior to starting production. By doing this, pickup errors that occur during the
beginning of production can be greatly reduced. There are two pickup items that can be
tested. The pickup X- and Y-positions can be checked and edited and the pickup height
can be tested and edited when using compatible heads. Both of these items can be used
for parts in feeders or trays. Tray pickup data such as the pickup position and pitch data
can also be edited by using this function for trays.
5.8.2 Testing pickup positions in a feeder

automatically selected), then follow the sub-steps below.
a. Click [...] to specify which nozzle or claw (OF head only) to use for the test.
Note: The machine knows which nozzles and claws are present in the module (if a check has
been performed by the machine). In cases where the job-specified nozzle and claws can
be used for the height measurement, that nozzle and claws are automatically selected.
b. Select the nozzle or claws (OF head only) to be used for the measurement in the
dialog box that is displayed and then click [OK].
Note: If the module has not yet performed calibration and does not know what nozzles and claws
are present in the nozzle station, click [Measure] to have the module check which nozzles
and claws are present.
16.Click [Measure] to begin the pickup height test.
17.The results of the test are displayed and the Z offset is automatically determined. It is
possible to manually edit this value.
Note: A dialog box is displayed when a stroke error occurs. Click [Yes] in this dialog box to try
moving the head back down and measure again. The same error occurs if there is no part
in the pickup position. If unsure if a part is present or not, check the part status in the feeder.
Caution: If measurement is performed for an OF head, even if the nozzle (claw) does not contact a
part when lowered, the lowest position of the Z-axis is displayed as the result of
measurement. Then, if measurement is performed again, the nozzle (claw) lowers to a
position that is -1.5 mm lower than the result for the previous measurement, so the
measurement value will change greatly. The position at which the result obtained is
approximately the same as the previous result is the position at which the part has actually
been contacted. Due to this, the measurement should be repeated until the result is
approximately the same.
18.Once the Z offset has been determined and the results are acceptable, click [Next].

NXTEJM019Ea
19.The offset results for the pickup position test are displayed. Check the results and if the
results are acceptable, click [Update] to send the changes back to the job. It is possible

pickup test. However, there are times when a Y-axis movement tolerance error occurs and
the pickup test cannot be performed because the pickup position will change based on
calibration compensation or any pickup offset values (part size or smaller) and therefore the
pickup position will be outside the valid movement range.

5.9 Testing Vision Processing (H01, H02 and OF

head)
The vision processing test function is used to perform the following procedures.
• Adjust the vision processing height at the machine (for the side light camera).
• Check vision processing results.
• Check and edit the job.

Caution: Perform a pickup test to determine the correct pickup position before performing a vision
processing test.
Restrictions
• Only original slots can be selected for a vision processing test.
• It is possible to begin a vision processing test even if all of the nozzles that are
specified in the job are not set in the nozzle station. Nozzles that are not
specified in the job are used. As a result, the nozzles used when performing
automatic operation and the nozzles used when performing the vision
processing test may differ.
• The parts used when testing vision processing are not included in the used parts
count. As a result, there will be a discrepancy in the remaining parts count in
Fujitrax Verifier.
• When the claw is being used, even if the pickup position XY is incorrect, an
offset may be used when the part is picked up. In such a case, if the part that
was picked up is returned to the tray, the part may not fit properly into the tray
cavity. For this reason, the pickup test should be performed and pickup XY
position adjusted before performing a vision processing test.
5.9.1 Procedure
1. Transmit the job with the vision data to be tested to the machine and wait for the main
screen to display on all of the operation panels for the modules.

Glossary
A
alternate feeder
An empty slot on a feeder table can be readied with the same part that is being supplied
from another feeder position. When the original feeder runs out of parts, the pick-up
position changes to this alternate feeder. Multiple alternate feeders can be specified.
When an alternate feeder runs out of parts, the next alternate feeder in the loop is used. If
the feeder is the last feeder in the loop then the original feeder is used again. If not using
dynamic alternate feeders (when using Fujitrax), then the alternate feeder positions must
be specified in the feeder setup.
assign
This is found in the coordinate data in the job and specifies which machine is to use the
mark or place the part/glue dot.
B
background
A term used for recipe conditions commonly for older Fuji machines. An portion of the
machine's memory used to stores recipes that aren't being used. A "background" recipe is
a recipe stored in this position. Conversely, active recipes are referred to as "foreground"
recipes. This term does not apply to the NXT and the term “next job” is used.
board
The smallest independent unit of a printed circuit board on which electronic components are
placed.
BOM file
An acronym for "Bill Of Materials". The BOM file containes data such as part numbers for
each location that corresponds to a reference designator on the board. This file may
contain extra fields to add to the job's part data.
C
CAD file
A file which is output from a CAD system. This file generally contains the reference
designators, X,Y coordinates, and angles, etc., for each location on the board.
calibration data
Machine-specific data that is required for a machine to operate. An example of calibration
data would be the data that defines the spatial relationships between various machine
components.
CCIMF format
An intermediary file format. F4G programs and part data translated by Port Wizard are
output as CCIMF files. Recipes from Fuji Flexa and FujiCam are in CCIMF format.

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E

The Fuji Flexa component that is used for data management, transmission, and managing
factory lines and machines. In addition, this provides easy access to many of the other Fuji
Flexa components.
dynamic alternate feeder

When using Fujitrac Verifier, it is possible to use alternate feeders without having to specify
a fixed position for them in the job. When using this function and a parts out warning is
issued, the operator prepares an extra feeder with a new reel of parts that are going to run
out, verifies it in Fujitrax and then sets the feeder in any open slot in the same module. The
machine checks what parts are on the feeder and then automatically changes the feeder
into an alternate feeder. When parts run out on the original slot, the machine will pick from
the alternate feeder.
E
element
A group of leads on the same side of a part that have the same length, width, and pitch.
F
fiducial mark
A mark that is used to adjust the positioning when parts are placed on a board. Fiducial
marks are printed onto the substrate together with the circuit pattern, thereby creating a
constant indicator of the pattern's present location. There are 3 types of fiducial marks: part
fiducials, board fiducials, and panel fiducials.
Fuji Flexa
This a production line host system for creating, editing, transmitting recipes to Fuji SMT

identical line and machine configurations (including nozzles, parts supply unit, etc.). This
allows users to use the same recipe from machine to machine when producing identical
panels on multiple lines.
N
next job
An portion of the machine's memory is used to store the information for the next job that
has been sent to the machine. This job is usually the job that is to be produced after the
current job is completed. Only one job can be sent to the next job position in the machine
per lane.
non-relational mode
This is a mode used for part data. When this mode is used, the "Part Number", "Shape
Name" and "package Name" data is all saved under the one file name. There is no
interlinking between the different part data. This mode prevents user from accidentally
editing package and shape data for various part at one time and is similar to Fuji's previous
host system, MCS. This mode is specified in Flexa Server Setup in the [System settings]
dialog box on the computer running the user server.
Nozzle Mapper
The Fuji Flexa component that is a conversion tool designed to convert the nozzle settings
for part data when importing Port Wizard translated CCIMF or MCSIMF data from F4G or
MCS into Job Builder.

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E
O
optimization
The process where machine instructions are reordered so that the machine operates
optimally. Normally, the processing sequence and feeder positions are rearranged in a
manner that minimizes the machine’s working time.
P
package data
Data that describes packaging used for parts. The package data ís comprised of type,
dimensions, pitch, and other parameters that a machine needs to process that package for
the part that uses that data. This data is comprised of two groups of data, package
information, and package process.

The entire printed circuit board (PCB) upon which electronic components are placed. A
panel may be composed of one or more actual boards.
part data
All part data items. This refers to data for the part number, shape data, and package data
if relational mode is enabled. If it is not enabled, then shape data and package data is not
displayed.
part data server

This is a Fuji Flexa server ran on a computer and specifies the location of the part data files
and manages access to these files.

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E
Part Editor
The Fuji Flexa component that is used to create and edit part data. If relational mode is
enabled from the Flexa Server Setup, this editor is used to create and edit part number
data. If non-relational mode is used, this editor is used to create and edit all part data.
part library
The library in which part data is stored. The part data server manages access to this library.
part templates
These are sections of part data that have been created to be used for future part data
creation. Part templates can be imported into part data reducing the amount of data input
necessary when creating new data. After importing the template, only the data that differs
from the template needs to be edited. Templates can be created for "Shape Information",
"Shape Process", "Package Information" and "Package Process" data.
Part Template Editor

The Fuji Flexa component that is used to create and edit part templates.
R
recipe
Operation instructions for individual machines, created after the completion of line
balancing and optimization processing. In the past, Fuji has referred to recipes as
"Production programs".
relational mode
This is a mode used for part data. This mode allows a "Part number" to be linked to a
shared "shape" and "package". The relational mode allows multiple "part number" records
to use the same shape data record and/or package data, thus minimizing the size of the
libraries. In addtion, by editing a packaging or shape record that is accessed by multiple
part numbers, all the part data for all the part numbers are updated at one time. This is
similar to Fuji's previous host system, FujiCam. When this mode is active, three
components are used to create and edit the different data. This mode is specified in Flexa
Server Setup in the [System settings] dialog box on the computer running the user server.
S
shape data
Data that describes a part's dimensions, the quantity and size of pins (leads), and other
parameters that a machine needs to process a part that uses that data. This data is
comprised of two groups of data, shape process and shape information.

available if relational mode is enabled from the Flexa Server Setup.

PRG-NXTIIc-1.4E
shape information
Data that has the settings that are used to describe the part. The part's dimensions, the
quantity and size of pins (leads), and element information are examples of settings found
in shape information. This is one of the groups of data that makes up shape data.
shape library
The library in which shape data is stored. This library is only accessible if relational mode
is enabled in Flexa Server Setup. The part data server manages access to this library.
shape process
Data that has the settings on how a part using that data is to be processed by the machine.
Lead process data, vision type, pick-up offsets are examples of settings found in shape
process. This is one of the groups of data that makes up shape data.
skip
This is a setting found in the coordinate data. When this is set to "Yes" for a record, the
park or glue dot for that record will not be placed. If this is for a mark, the machines will not
use that mark.
skip mark
A mark that is placed on a multi-board panel to prevent a machine from processing one of
the boards on the panel. When a job includes an instruction to read a skip mark, the fiducial
mark camera takes an image of the specified coordinates and looks for a mark made using
a pen or a sticker. If a mark is detected, the machine does not process that board. The
panel is unloaded from the machine once any other boards have been completed. If the
mark is for a panel (global skip mark) and it is determined that the mark is present then the
skip marks for the boards on the panel are checked. If the panel skip mark is determined
to not be present then the machine skips reading any other skip marks and proceeds with
reading fiducial marks.
Spec Keeper
The Fuji Flexa component that is used for creating, merging, and editing spec data.
spec data
This is data about the specifications of feeders, needles, nozzles, and nozzle stations.
T
title bar
This displays at the very top of all windows. The program and/or item's name displays here
and buttons to minimize, resize, and close the window are available in the title bar.

provides the ability to "replay" certain events and to "package" a replayable event into a file
that then can be used on another computer.
transmission
The process of sending recipes, calibration data, and other items to the machines.
U
user server
This is a Fuji Flexa server ran on a computer and is responsible for checking the Fuji Flexa
licenses and for managing security. In addition, the user server specifies which computers
are running the three data servers. For each license group, there is only one user server.
Data between different user server groups cannot not be shared except by exporting the
data from one group and then importing it into the other group.
V
verify check
This is performed when the outline of the parts is available from Gerber CAD data or from
the original CAD data. When this is performed a dialog box displays with the outline of the
part or pads from the CAD data and the part from Fuji Flexa superimposed. If the
positioning or rotation of the part from Fuji Flexa does not match the image from the CAD
data, then the positioning of the part can be adjusted until it matches.
view mode
This indicates what data is being displayed in the window. Director has seven different view
modes. The different view modes are used to perform different actions.
view mode bar

This displays between the toolbar and the data display panes in Director. The left side of
the bar indicates which of the view modes is active, and the right side of the bar displays
the user ID of the current user.
virtual line
This is a line than does not actually exist in the local factory. This line is used to create
programs for a remote (unconnected) line, or for future line configurations that do not
currently exist.
