A.1.3 Program Menu
1. Dot - Opens a Teach Window for programming dot
dispensing.
2. Line
- Opens a Teach Window for programming line
dispensing.
3. Arc
- Opens a Teach Window for programming arc
dispensing.
4. Circle
- Opens a Teach Window for programming
circle dispensing.
5. Coat Dot
- Used for programming dots with the flux jet
valve only.
6. Coat Grid
- Used for programming grids of lines with
the flux jet valve only.
7. Coat Line
- Used for programming lines with the flux
jet valve only.
8. Dot Grid
- Used for programming grids of dots with the
flux jet valve only.
9. Rectangle
- Opens a Teach Window for programming a
rectangle dispensing pattern.
10. Pot
- Opens a Teach Window for programming pot dispensing.
11. Area Fill
- Opens a drop-down menu for accessing rectangular spiral fills, circular spiral fills, and
rectangular zigzag fills.
12. Weight Control Line
- Opens a Teach Window for programming weight-control lines. Weight-
control lines use a specific amount of fluid for each line based on Line Parameters.
13. Weight Control Grid
- Opens a Teach Window for programming a weight-control grid instruction.
This instruction is only available for DJ valve types. It allows the user to dispense a specified
weight of fluid into each rectangular cell in an MxN grid.
14. DJ-Delta-Z Line
- Opens a Teach Window for programming a delta-z line instruction for DJ valve
types. This instruction allows the user to dispense fluid continuously over a defined 3-dimensional
path.
15. Step and Repeat
- Used for applications that require the same pattern to be placed at multiple
locations on a single board.
For example, if you have a workpiece or part carrier with 10 chips aligned in rows and
columns, you can program your dispensing pattern, place the pattern in the first location,
identify the last location where the pattern should be placed, and FmXP calculates and places
the pattern at all of the other locations on the workpiece.
16. Comment
- Allows you to insert comments directly into a program.
17. Log Comment
- Opens a dialog box where the user can enter comments during the programming
process. During a production run, the comment is automatically entered into the log file when
commanded by the program. This is useful for documenting program execution paths.
