G-8 Glossary
Workpiece: Any surface, part, or element (usually a
PWB) that is being dispensed upon. Workpieces may
be installed in a carrier such as a lead frame or Auer
boat.
Workpiece Alignment: Workpiece Alignment
refers to its position in relation to the Dispensing
Head X- and Y-axes. If the workpiece is slightly
askew, FmXP can use Workpiece Alignment to
adjust the patterns and dispense correctly.
Workpiece Origin (WPO): The workpiece origin
refers to a user-defined origin point on the workpiece.
FmXP uses WPO to determine pattern placement
locations.
Workpiece Pattern: All FmXP programs include a
Workpiece Pattern. The Workpiece Pattern typically
contains:
• Pattern instructions
• Dispensing Instructions/Process Commands
• Procedures
• Subpattern calls
• Pattern End Command
X-Axis: Left to right movement of the Dispensing
Head in the dispensing area. See Figure G-1.
X-Beam: The apparatus that spans the width of the
dispensing chamber. The Dispensing Head is
mounted to the X-Beam and slides along it in the X-
Axis. Includes mechanical pulleys for the X-Axis
cables.
Y-Axis: Forward and backward movement of the
Dispensing Head in the dispensing area. See Figure
G-1.
Z-Axis: Up and down movement of the Dispensing
Head in the dispensing area. See Figure G-1.
