G-2 Glossary
Fiducial Find Camera: When a system is
equipped with the fiducial find camera,
fiducials can be added to any pattern by
inserting fiducial instructions into the pattern .
The fiducial find camera also provides closed
loop feedback to correct translation and rotation
of boards located in a carrier or directly on the
conveyor
Fixture: Location at which products are
physically constrained in the workcell. Consists
of both a position (X, Y, Z) and a corner
constraint.
Fixture Constraint Location: The corner of
the product that is always in the same location
when the product is in the fixture (the repeatable
corner).
Flow Monitoring System: The Flow
Monitoring System monitors the volume of
material dispensed. The dispensing system can
be programmed to stop, pause, or continue when
the dispensed volume falls outside the preset
range.
Fluid Delivery System: Consists of the SC-
104HS, SC-105HS, SC-200, SC-204HS, SC-
205HS and SC-300 Fluid Dispensing
Applicators. The applicators apply material as a
controlled film, rather than an atomized spray.
Graphic Display: Displays robot and product
rulers, an area representing the product, colored
areas representing coating instructions, and
moves. Also displays images of product
imported into the program. Use this feature to
create programs on a stand-alone computer,
when programming time is not available on the
computer connected to your Dispensing System.
Home: The Home position of the Robot is a
known position within the workspace defined by
X, Y, and Z coordinates. It is generally located
at the front left of the Workcell.
Icons: Small buttons on a Computer screen with
a symbol representing the function that they
perform. Used to execute a menu shortcut.
Instruction: A single operation, such as Move,
Home, or Coat, supported by the ECXP
programming language
Laser Pointer Programming Tool: Projects a
red dot onto the workpiece, which simulates the
center point of the dispensing module for faster
identification of program begin and end points.
Low Air Pressure Sensor: If the air pressure
drops below a set point, this sensor alerts the
operator of pressure drop conditions by
triggering the Safety Interlock.
Low Fluid Sensor: Triggers a Light Beacon
display or software error message when the level
of coating material is low.
Macro Program: A program loaded at system
startup. Used to store common patterns and
procedures, such as Begin Idle, During Idle, End
Idle, and Periodic procedures.
Maintenance Manager: To ensure that required
maintenance is done on schedule, programmers
can set up a Maintenance Manager and
maintenance program. The Maintenance
Manager displays a reminder for the operator the
next time production is started after the
expiration of the configured time period.
Masking: The process of applying a temporary
film, tape, boot, or plug that prevents the area
covered from being coated.
Monofilament Mode: Conformal coating
applied in a looping pattern. Available with
either the SC-200 or the SC-300 Applicator and
Tri-Mode Swirl Box.
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Operation: Functions, such as setting and
manipulating dispensing system controls, by
which the operator causes the equipment to
perform its intended purpose.
Operator: A non-technical level position. The
production operator monitors and operates pre-
programmed dispensing systems during
production runs and performs minor routine
maintenance.
Operator Interface: The machine/operator
interface that consists of Control Panels,
Monitor, software, and keyboard and mouse.
PCB: Printed Circuit Board. The completed
PWB with electrical components installed. Also
known as a Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA).
