Abnormal transmission or loose belt | Adjustment or replacement | |
Abnormal mechanical noise | Deformed guide rail or excessive parallel deviation | Re-calibration of replacement |
Worn steel ball inside sliding block | Replacement of sliding block | |
Insufficient lubricant | Addition of lubricant |
Abnormal IC Placement and Pickup
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
Abnormal nozzle movement | Improper setting of vacuum meter | Re-setting |
Deformed nozzle or interference | Check/replace nozzle or eliminate interference | |
Failure of IC pickup | Signal output setting of vacuum meter too high | Re-setting |
Insufficient press depth of nozzle | Re-measurement of the depth according to standard procedure | |
Insufficient air source pressure or air leakage | Check/adjustment of air pressure, check for air leakage in the air pressure loop | |
Damaged or deformed nozzle | Check/replacement of nozzle | |
Unsuitable nozzle specification | Replacement of nozzle | |
Dropped IC after pickup | Air cylinder lifts or lowers too fast | Adjustment of cylinder valve |
Insufficient air pressure or air leakage | Check/adjustment of air pressure, check air pressure loop and eliminate air leakage | |
Dirty nozzle | Cleaning or replacement of nozzle | |
Damaged or deformed nozzle | Check/replacement of nozzle | |
Unsuitable nozzle specification | Replacement of nozzle | |
Resistance at chip pickup position | Check and eliminate foreign matters | |
Improper IC placement | Sticky surface of nozzle or IC | Clean surface of nozzle or IC |
Insufficient air blow (vacuum damage) | Proper increase of air blow |
Abnormal IC Programming
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
Yield of programming too low | Inaccurate mechanical positioning | Re-positioning according to standard procedure, including height measurement |
Poor contact of IC pin | Check IC pin or cleaning /replacement of adapter seat | |
Abnormal programmer | Replacement of programmer or contact with Xeltek personnel | |
Improper programming setting | Re-setting of programming parameters according to standard procedure | |
IC quality problem | Notify IC supplier to confirm IC quality | |
Abnormal connection of programmer | Abnormal or unstable programmer | Replacement of programmer or contact with Xeltek personnel |
Disconnected USB cable | Connect USB cable | |
Empty programming | Wrong human interference during programming | Strict implementation of standard operating procedure, prohibition of manual placement of ICs |
Improper vacuum setting | Check vacuum setting and re-set it | |
Inconsistency of number of programmed IC | Failure to clear counter to zero before programming | Operate according to standard procedure |
Incomplete disposal of alarm message | Continue operation after full disposal of alarm message | |
IC dropped into machine or adjacent area | Check for IC dropped into machine or adjacent area |
Abnormal IC Printing
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
Failure to print on IC | Dry ink | Replacement of ink box |
Printer head too low | Adjustment of height of printer head | |
Ink on IC too thick/light | Improper setting of printer head | Adjustment of height of printer head |
Dirty /stick ink on IC | Too much ink on printer head | Clean printer head |
Abnormal IC Tube Feeding
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
IC feeding too slow | Insufficient vibration or interruption | Proper adjustment of vibration amplitude of feeding device |
IC stuck in tube | Improper IC tube size or deformed feeding tube | Replacement of feeding tube |
IC stuck by positioning block | Misaligned feeding tube with positioning block or improper mounting | Adjustment of position of feeding tube |
IC bounced up | Excessive vibration | Adjustment of vibration amplitude |
IC stacked at positioning block | Excessive inclination of feeding tube or outlet of the tube dose not contact with vibration surface flatly | Adjustment of inclination of feeding tube or enable outlet of the tube to contact with vibration surface flatly |
Abnormal IC Tube Outlet
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
IC outlet too slow | Improper vibration amplitude | Proper adjustment of vibration amplitude of outlet device |
IC stuck at tube inlet | Improper tube size or misaligned inlet | Replacement of tube or position of tube inlet |
IC outlet alarm | Sensor is shielded by foreign matter on top | Remove foreign matter |
Abnormal IC Tape Feeding
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
Abnormal IC tape feeding | Improper air pressure | Adjustment of feeding air pressure |
Improper adjustment of feeding gun | Adjustment of feeding gun as required |
Abnormal IC Tape Outlet
Description | Possible Cause | Troubleshooting Measure |
---|---|---|
Inaccurate placement position | Failure to set the tape inlet device during positioning operation | Reset the inlet machine and re-position outlet position |
Stuck outlet tape | Tape dragged too tight | Adjust of tape inlet device |
Folded or damaged empty tape | Change with new tape | |
Wrong travel distance | Improper adjustment of travel detection sensor | Adjustment of position and signal intensity of travel detection sensor |
Abnormal empty tape alarm | Improper adjustment of empty tape sensor | Adjustment of empty tape sensor |
Abnormal tape upheaval alarm | Improper adjustment of tape upheaval sensor | Adjustment of tape upheaval sensor |
Instructions to replace programming module inside SuperBOT programmers:
- Open the side panel on SuperBOT and disconnect cables attached to the module box.
- Unscrew 4ea hex screws from the top. Move the Z-nozzle assembly around in order to access the screws.
- Pull up the module box and set on the table.
- Unscrew 4ea screws from the top for the affected module so that it will be loose.
- Set the box upside down and unscrew 6 screws (3ea from each side) and remove the metal box slowly so as not to damage the connected cables.
- Exchange the module.
