Workpiece Alignment
Workpiece alignment refers to the position of the board or part in relation to the Dispensing Head X- and
Y-axes. Even if the board is slightly askew, FmNT can use workpiece alignment to adjust the patterns
and dispense correctly. Once you have established workpiece alignment parameters, workpiece
alignment will be performed at the beginning of each production run and at the beginning of each new
board in the run. Checking for workpiece alignment can be eliminated if speed is a factor. In that case,
correct workpiece alignment and symmetry are assumed.
To setup workpiece alignment:
1. Select
Setup Workpiece Alignment from the Configuration menu and make sure there is a
checkmark in the box next to “Learn Workpiece Angle first.” See Figure 5-10.
!If you select “Learn Workpiece Angle first,” you will be prompted to define the workpiece
orientation in the X- or Y-axis when you begin programming.
!FmNT compares the defined axis to the Dispensing Head axis to adjust for workpiece
alignment.
" NOTE If Setup Workpiece Alignment is not activated, you will be asked if you want to
“Learn Workpiece Angle first?” each time you begin a new programming
session. However, to ensure workpiece alignment, it is a good idea to activate
this feature in the Configuration menu.
