Tray
Tray Type
Specify the type of tray being used.
Setting: Matrix-Dump | Description: Not yet supported.
Setting: No Matrix-Dump | Description: Cannot be used for the NXT
Setting: No Matrix | Description: Automatic discharge of the tray is not performed. Aluminum or other customer-specific trays that are heavier than normal cannot be lifted by the remover’s vacuum pad. Instead, this mode is selected and the tray is changed by hand. If the machine fails to pick-up a part, it will attempt to pick up the part from the same position the specified number of recovery times. If pick-up is still unsuccessful, the machine proceeds to pick up parts from the next pick-up position.
Setting: Ref Cavity Info-Dump | Description: Not supported yet.
Setting: Ref Cavity Info | Description: Specify this item to have settings made at Tray Cavity Information used for pick-up information. The tray is removed by hand (as is the case when “No Matrix” is selected), when parts run out.
Tray Cavity Information
Specify the cavity information (I.e. which cavities have parts and which do not) for trays.
