G-2 Glossary
Conveyor Controller Module: The Conveyor
Controller Module monitors the SMEMA interface
and controls the Conveyor indexing operations.
Controlled Process Heat (CpH): CpH increases
functional control that eliminates operator interaction
altogether: software-managed heat levels (e.g., warm
up, process ramp, cool down, etc.) with
programmable shut-off timers and ‘step-down’ or
‘no-heat’ capability when a part is not present. CpH
control improves both yield and ‘thermal footprint’
efficiency by requiring less power.
Crosshairs: Two lines intersecting at a 90° angle in
the center of the Video Display of the Computer
Monitor. Used to teach dispensing points to the
FmXP software.
DC: Direct Current.
Die: See Chip.
Dispense Station: The part of the dispensing area
where dispensing is actually performed.
Dispensed Weight Bias: Generally used with
Weight Control Lines. If the weighed fluid is
consistently over or under the desired percentage of
fluid after a flow rate calibration, you can set the bias
to compensate for the variation. See also Bias Limits
and Valve Bias.
Dispensing Area: The interior area of the
dispensing system where dispensing operations are
performed.
Dispensing Head: The robotic fluid applicator that
moves during the dispensing operation. The
Dispensing Valve, Height Sensor, and Camera and
Lighting are mounted on the Dispensing Head. Also
referred to as the Z-Head or Robot.
Dispensing Elements: Fundamental dispensing
elements and patterns that form the foundation for all
dispensing applications. These include dots, lines,
circles, rectangles, etc.
Dispensing Runs (Wet/Dry): A wet dispensing run
is when fluid is dispensed. A dry run is when the
program is executed but no fluid is dispensed. During
a dry run, the camera traces the needle path.
Dispensing Valve: A device used to control or
regulate the flow of material from a pressurized
reservoir, such as a syringe. These devices include
Valves, Pumps, and Jets. See also Jets.
DOAL: Diffuse On-Axis Light. Camera lighting
module that has both red and blue LEDs that enhance
image quality of the workpiece. Promotes rapid and
accurate identification of fiducials and other points of
reference on the workpiece.
Dot Parameters: An FMXP feature that allows you
to control the size and accuracy of dot dispensing.
Dynamic Dispense Control (DDC): An FmXP
feature that allows the programmer to precisely
control the valve for more accurate placement of dots
and lines.
E10 Equipment States: SEMI Specifications, which
describe six basic equipment states that can be used
to monitor the activity of a machine.
E58 Equipment States: SEMI Specifications, which
defines six basic equipment substates as consisting of
four alphanumeric characters.
E116 Equipment States: The SEMI E116 standard
provides the provisional specifications for tracking
performance of production equipment. E116 is an
essential component used in the E10 summation of
equipment RAM. This feature require the
SECS/GEM option to communicates the equipment
states.
Edit Window: Edit Windows help you set up and
program your dispensing system using easy step-by-
step instructions at the top of the screen. The specific
features displayed in an Edit Window vary depending
on the task you are performing.
Electronic Pressure Control (E/P): Electro
pneumatic regulators control the valve pressure, fluid
pressure and cooling/coaxial pressure. These
regulators have been integrated into the platform. All
the pressure setpoint values are set through
Fluidmove (as opposed to manual regulators).
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Discharge of a
static charge on a person’s body that travels through a
conductive path to ground. An electronic component
may suffer irreparable damage when it is exposed to
the static charge.
Emergency Shutdown: The dispensing system is
intentionally stopped to prevent injury to personnel or
damage to equipment. Shutdown is accomplished by
pushing the EMO button or switching off the Main
Circuit Breaker.
EMO: Emergency Machine Off button on the front
panel of the dispensing system. Cuts power to the
dispensing system, but does not turn off power to the
Power Manager, Computer, or Monitor. Heater
power is interrupted, but the heaters can remain hot
for some time. Part of the Integrated Safety System.
