Teaching a Tape Feeder

Training Seminar # TAPF-001

Revision A

Start BPWin software and allow the handler to initialize.In the Workflow window, locate the “Sources” box. Give the Tape Feeder teach a valid name. NOTE: The teach name must begin with TAPEIN. In this example, TAPEIN_TSOP48

Go to the main window, menu selection AUTOHANDLER/ TEACH. Select the “TAPEIN” name to bring up the Adjust Nozzle Position window.

Select the correct Pin 1 position according to the Figures (A or B). Use the arrow buttons to position the downward camera or laser pointer over the device, and press OK.

Chapter 6

Clearing Jams

Training Seminar # TAPF-001

Revision A

1. Ensure that the carrier tape can exit smoothly. Clear bunched tape if necessary.

2. Check the spent cover tape spool for excessive cover tape. Remove cover tape if necessary.

3. Press the reverse (black) button and see if the tape will back out. Remove excess devices if necessary.

4. Remove the feeder from the base and visually inspect for jammed devices and jammed tape.

5. Cut the tape at the tape entry point or exit point.6. Press the rear button to back out the remaining tape

fragments.7. Reload the tape feeder.

Tape Feeder Maintenance

Training Seminar # TAPF-001

Revision A

Tape Feeders require very little maintenance.There are vary few user serviceable partsinside. BPM Recommends: 1. Periodically clean the adhesive residue off of

the rollers if pressure cover tape is used.2. Check the cover tape drive belt for wear and

replace as necessary.3. Remember that the cover tape removable

spool has left hand threads.

Defective tape feeders will need to be sent toBPM Microsystems, LP for repair. Call technicalsupport for Assistance.
