4-126 System Configuration and Setup
4.6 Production Setup
Prior to running production, it is imperative to perform a production setup routine to ensure your system
is ready. Production setup tasks include the following:
 Clearing the work area of any obstacles to dispensing head movement
 Checking for presence and condition of the purge cup, banjo wiper, and scale cup
 Installing new needles, shields, syringes, etc.
 Running a Machine Offsets Routine
Production setup includes the Non-scripted Prompted Setup and Scripted Prompted Setup routines
summarized in Table 4-20 and should be performed:
 Prior to all production runs
 After a valve has been removed or reinstalled
 After a new needle has been placed on the valve assembly
 After moving or focusing the camera
 After moving or replacing the height sensor probe assembly
 Anytime you are experiencing inaccurate dispensing
WARNING! CAUTION!
Failure to perform a production setup could result in incorrect offset parameters,
and missed preparatory procedures which may cause damage to a workpiece
and/or the dispensing system.
