Release Notes for AccuPro v8.00


Software version 8.00 includes the following software xes and enhancements. Software Fixes The following xes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor: Teach Routines The software will no longer allow unprinted boards to be sent downstream after completing a teach or calibration routine. QFP Teach The auto pad teach routine for QFPs has been improved to reduce errors caused by traces located near the ends of the QFP sides. Alternating Wet/Dry Wipes Alternating wet/dry wipes now functions correctly. SRC Stage During Vision Teach The Src Stage already moving during Vision Teach error message caused by requesting multiple moves in Vision Teach has been corrected. SPC Data Corruption SPC data corruption has been corrected. Board Transport Numerous transport issues, including the transfer of boards with cut outs, unnecessary initializations, and large board transfer have been resolved. Loss of Fiducials Fiducials located very close to the board edge will no longer be accidentally deleted. Production Mode The user must now pause the printer to access the SPC charts. Right clicking on the charts caused motion errors. This has been removed. Board Transfer Buttons The user must now pause production in order to access the board transfer buttons. SPC Chart Replay SPC chart replay has been corrected. This issue occurred when entering the SPC Chart Replay feature and having only one component taught for 2D inspection. Slow Snapoff The Slow Snapoff rounding issue, caused by the metric to imperial conversion, has been

Part No.1010502 Page 12 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

corrected. Wiper Paper Percentage The Paper Remaining% progress in the Production mode correctly indexes to 0% from 100%. Updated per paper usage has been corrected to reach 0% before the Wiper Paper Empty sensor indicates Paper Out. Z-Axis Heartbeat The Z-Axis heartbeat condition (where Z-Axis would pulse up/down) has been corrected. This heartbeat issue caused intermittent Z-Axis failed to reach destination issues. Improved Rheopump Processes The issue where the rheopump incorrectly reported Paste Empty has been corrected. The Failure to Reach Print Pressure error has been corrected. Optimize Optimize now uses all of the ducials taught. This will reduce the amount of XYY correction required for alignment. Shutting Off Vision Bulbs When Vision Teach, Device Teach, or Production is NOT being used, the lights are now disabled. Improved Tooling Positioning and Error Handling The tooling layout issues, which occurred when creating a new board le from an existing board le, have been corrected. The possible tooling crash into the rail, if a pin was not stored correctly, has been corrected. Software now allows for the stopping of Auto Tooling from the Auto Tooling dialog. Improved Rheopump Processes Created prompts to remove rheometric pump supports during a changeover sequence. X Move will not Void Vision Calibration X move will no longer void the vision calibration. Stencil Clamps Stencil clamps now default to Open when the printer is E-stopped or powered On. The frame clamps engage if a wiper sequence is activated outside of production mode. 2D Priority Level The 2D priority levels now look for the downstream conveyors Not Busy signal to determine when/if lower priority devices are to be inspected. Inspect Paste The Inspect Paste option now homes the squeegee height to allow adequate viewing of the

Vision on the Move The software now computes the ducial positions and ndings while moving to reduce the cycle time of the printer. Vision Calibration Speed Up The software has dramatically reduced the time required to perform vision calibrate in the Vision Setup screen. Point and Continue in Production This release implements a method of re-locating a ducial when the vision system fails to nd it. This feature, used previously in Version 6.x software, has been restored.

Part No.1010502 Page 14 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Improved Tooling Positioning and Error Handling Manual post storage now has four carousel moves: single step three steps 90 180 When a post fails to be placed, the software (when selected) will retry to place the missed pin. Previously, it would just skip this pin (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Manual Pin Storage Screen

10502_02

Improved Rheopump Processes Users can now swap the print direction from within Production, when paused. The pump will raise (if down) prior to moving. The pump will now raise correctly when the stencil is instructed to be loaded or unloaded. The print will not continue unless the pump has successfully lled or charged. Board Tagging Board tagging of known bad/unprinted boards for ducials not found, 2D errors, or other printing errors. Unprinted or rejected boards in production mode will now be prompted for removal from the printer instead of being sent downstream. Errors include (Unprinted Boards, 2D Rejects, Fiducials Not Found, Board Stretch Failures). Once an unprinted or rejected board has been removed, Production automatically resumes. Changeover Boards will now be purged during a changeover. When performing a product le changeover, the user will now be prompted to remove any boards from the tracks so that the printer can change the rail width when necessary.

Part No.1010502 Page 15 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Board Stretch Feature The board stretch feature has been implemented. When this is set to Reject/Warning (Figure 8): Reject - automatically rejects a board which exceeds the allowable stretch. Warning - prompts the user to print the board or to reject it.
Figure 8. Print Prole

Release Notes for Version 8.1.0


Software version 8.1.0 includes the following software xes and enhancements. Software Fixes The following xes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor: Closed Loop Squeegee Graph Previously, the read data function on the closed loop Squeegee feedback pressure chart was working only intermittently. Occasionally, the read function would appear to be working, but at the end would display a message indicating that an invalid squeegee was selected. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Intermittent Squeegee Move Error Previously, the closed loop squeegee was moving to the pressure position after the software commanded it to move to the zero position. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The squeegee now moves to the correct position when commanded by the software. Cannot Stop Production After Closed Loop Squeegee Feedback Error Previously, the system would lock up if you selected the Production Setup tab after receiving a closed loop squeegee feedback error. Once the lock up occurred, you could not exit the Setup tab, and could not use the Pause, Stop, and Start buttons. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Cannot Calibrate Rear Blade During Closed Loop Squeegee Calibration During closed loop squeegee calibration, the squeegee z axis would move smoothly while positioning the front blade for front blade calibration. However, when positioning the rear blade for rear blade calibration, the squeegee z axis would exhibit a stuttering motion, and the rear blade could not be calibrated. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Closed Loop Squeegee Displays Incorrect Pressures Previously, the closed loop squeegee chart was displaying incorrect pressure values. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Single Rail Z-Axis Safety Fix This disables the machine from raising the Z-Axis when a transport sensor is made (CE compliance requirement).

Part No.1010502 Page 18 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Too Much Paper Being Used on Wiper Previously, the wiper was using an excessive amount of paper during the stencil wipe sequence. Several changes were made to correct this issue: A Prime Solvent button was added to the Stencil Cleaner setup dialog and the Change Paper dialog. Pressing (and holding) this button at either screen dispenses solvent onto the paper. Solvent dispensing stops when the button is released. The default solvent prime duration was changed to 0.1 seconds. Also, the solvent prime sequence will now only occur before the rst wet wipe of each wipe sequence. The software was modied to ensure that a wipe sequence will always start with clean paper. The initial paper advance was removed from the beginning of the wet wipe cycle. Now, the sequence for a wet wipe is to rst wet the paper and to then move the wetted paper over the wiper plenum. On the Stencil Cleaner setup dialog, the options Advance paper for each wet wipe and Wet paper for each wet wipe have been combined into the single option Wet and advance paper for each wet wipe. The wiper paper automatically advances the distance specic to the type of wipe to be performed (wet or dry). For example, if the paper over the plenum is wet or you are advancing the paper for a wet wipe cycle, the paper is advanced a distance equal to the setting in the UltraWiperIncrementDistanceMM le. Also, if the paper over the plenum is dry, and you are advancing the paper for a dry wipe, the paper is advanced a distance equal to the setting in the UltraWiperCleanPaperIncrementDistanceMM le.

Part No.1010502 Page 19 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Software Enhancements The following enhancements pertain to the operator and/or supervisor: FMI Option for Non-Production Mode Allows for boards to be transferred into and out of the machine for setup ease. 2D Device Teach via Stencil The user can now teach 2D devices using the stencil apertures for the template by selecting Teach Stencil at the New device dialog (Figure 11). This allows for difcult devices to be taught more accurately and easily.

This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Excessive Print Strokes During Knead Paste Routine Previously, the Knead Paste routine caused excessive print strokes. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. 2D Component Names Cause SPC Database Error Previously, excessively long 2D component names caused errors when written to the SPC database. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Optimize Failure During Teach Vision Board Stage Previously, the Optimize function would fail when the transfer system attempted to stage boards during the Teach Vision routine. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Software Enhancements The following software enhancements have been made for this release: Camera Park Speed The speed at which the camera moves away from the wiper (after the wiper completes the wipe cycle) has been reduced. Language Support This release supports the following localized languages: Spanish German Chinese

Release Note for Version 8.2.1


Software version 8.2.1 includes the following software x. Changing Wiper Paper During Production Leaves Printhead in Wrong Location Previously, a Change Paper routine initiated while in production mode would leave the printhead in the wrong location. This would result in an incorrect print stroke for the next printed board. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. At the conclusion of a Change Paper routine, the printhead will now move to the squeegee start position (front or rear) in preparation for the next print stroke. Change Wiper Paper Routine Fails When Initiated in Middle of Wipe Previously, the Change Paper routine would fail when initiated while the wiper was in the middle of a wipe sequence. After the wipe sequence, the wiper would start the sequence of events involved in a change paper routine, but would fail to reach the point which allowed actual replacement of the paper. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The Change Paper routine now completes successfully when initiated from the middle of a wipe sequence.

Release Notes for Version 8.3


Software version 8.3 includes the following software xes and enhancements. Software Fixes Cookson Name and Logo The Cookson name and logo have been replaced by the Speedline name and new Speedline logo in the following areas of the software: Splash screen Main machine image Help screen Unable to Properly Position a 17" x 12" Stencil Adapter Previously, when using a 17"x12" stencil in an adapter, you could not optimize because the stencil frame size was outside the machine limits. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The frame size dimension in the Stencil Tab has been increased to accommodate a 17" x 12" (431.8 mm x 304.8 mm) stencil mounted in an adaptor. The increase in frame size limits ensures that the stencil removal system does not cause the stencil eject pistons to damage the adaptor and/or the stencil mounted in the adapter. No Printer Timeout After Board Jam There are two scenarios for a board jamming during a board load: Prior to reaching the outboard sensor of the input track. The board jams and is making the outboard sensor of the input track. Previously, the AccuFlex would not time out when a board jammed when loading into the machine. This issue has been resolved for this release of software. If a board jams prior to reaching the outboard sensor of the input track, you can now press the PAUSE or STOP buttons to exit the board load sequence. If a board jams and is making the outboard sensor of the input track, the printer times out and automatically puts itself in a paused condition.

Part No.1010502 Page 26 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Teaching Pads and Apertures as Fiducials is Difcult Previously, you were only allowed a single attempt to rubber band (set) the vision aquisition box when teaching pads and apertures as ducials. In addition, you were only allowed to set the acquisition box by dragging to the right and down. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. You are no longer limited to this sequence and can set the acquisition box in any manner desired. Home Rails on New Product File Previously, you had one of two machine conguration choices. The rst would not home the rails when a new le was loaded. The second would home the transport rails when the le was loaded and when the Y dimension of the le was modied. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The software now home the rails when a le is loaded, but will not home the rails if a slight adjustment in rail width is made. Print Offset Display Error Previously, when the printer units of measure was set to metric and the offset value was a negative number, the offset display box would not show the minus sign and would cut off the last m of millimeter (mm). This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The display box area is now larger, and the displays justication has been corrected. You will now see all offset value information. Increase in the Maximum Wiper Stroke Range Previously, the wiper stroke range limitation was set to 10mm from the programmed squeegee stroke. This eventually led to paste build up on the stencil from pushed paste and would be transferred to the foils, causing defects. This issue has been resolved with this realease of software. The limitation has been increased to 40mm in order to reduce this phenomenon. Board Stop Initialization Sequence Can Damage Board Clamp Foils Previously, the board stops initialization sequence could cause damage to the board clamping foils in certain circumstances due to the board stops retracting down when the camera is in the area between the transport rails. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The initialization sequence will now initialize the board stops after the vision Y axis has homed to the front of the machine and the Vision X axis has initialized to the far right of its travel. PCB Load Delay The PCB load delay (as set in the INI le) has been corrected and now functions correctly in accordance with the time set in the INI le.

Part No.1010502 Page 27 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Tooling Positions Off Intended Positions The default tooling post positions in the INI le have been corrected for fresh software installations. However, eld-upgraded systems will not change the tooling post position. Changing these values requires the machine to be recalibrated, and also invalidates all previous tooling pin positions for any given program le(s). The tooling pin positions for each le would need to be re-taught as well after the tooling system is recalibrated. Software Enhancements The following enhancements have been made: Off -Line Programming Modications have been made to support off line programming. Machine Default Settings Changed default machine conguration to aid Manufacturing New Features Three new features have been added for this release: Fine Pitch CAMX Custom BGA Ofine Programming of PCBs Using Circuit Cam Refer to the following for explanations of these new features. Fine Pitch The new Fine Pitch feature was added to allow for a double-alignment capability. This feature is set by selecting Setup > Print prole... > Advanced, then clicking Fine Pitch in the Align options box (Figure 14). This feature is used with AccuFlex only. It is NOT used with the Ultraprint 1500.

Status Information (Continued)

EquipmentStarved

The printer is ready to receive a board from the upstream machine, but none is available. In order for this event to be reported, the printer has to be completely free of product (nothing in worknest and nothing at the output tracks). After an EquipmentStarved condition, a board is now available from the upstream machine. This event can only occur after an EquipmentStarved event. The printer has processed a board and is ready to send it to the downstream machine, but is prevented from doing so by the downstream machine. The printer is also unable to accept boards at the upstream side because each area (staging and print) is occupied. After an EquipmentBlocked condition, the downstream machine is now ready to accept the board waiting at the printers output tracks. A noteworthy event has occurred. This type of event will not result in either an error or warning, and no operator or host intervention is required. Enables/disables the logging of CAMX events on the printers hard drive.

Ofine Programming of PCBs Using Circuit Cam The AccuFlex can now use a le created using the AEIGS CircuitCam off line programming application. The AEGIS software will take a boards CAD or gerber data and create a fully functional recipe for the AccuFlex, including all program parameters, tooling positions and 2D. The AccuFlex software can directly open this le and, with minor modication, use it for production. To complete the recipe le creation, you must teach the actual ducial vision models by loading the le and completing the vision teach routine (including Optimization and Calibration). The ducial locations are already known (by use of the CAD or gerber le), but the actual ducial model is not. Additionally, all 2D inspection devices should have their positions veried. A new feature (Adjust) has been added to the 2D inspection screen (Figure 19) to allow you to quickly verify and adjust the 2D device positions. This function will select all devices and run sequentially through the device list, allowing you to adjust the device mask position to align to the correct device location.

Release Notes for Version 8.3.1


Software version 8.3.1 includes the following software x: Resetting of Recovery Flag The software has been modied to reset a ag used to support the recovery of an aborted FMI board load condition.

Release Notes for Version 8.4.0


Software version 8.4.0 includes the following software xes and enhancements. Software Fixes The following xes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor: Vacuum Tooling Sequence The sequences for turning the vacuum tooling on and off have been adjusted to allow the system to operate more effectively without board foils. Vacuum will now turn on any time the board is above transport height and turn off at transport height. Custom BGA Previously, pads in the component center area would become disabled when certain BGA pad layouts were taught. The inspection process would halt when the routine was unable to locate pads. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Wiper Stroke Calculation An incorrect value was found that denes the location for starting and stopping the stencil cleaner. The INI parameter UscPlateToUscSqu should be changed from 45 to 36 in order to correct this error. This release does not automatically make the change for you (when upgrading your software) since it will affect previously dened process les. You must determine if the change should be applied. The following parameters have been modied in the SIGPRO.INI le. Changed: [UnderStencilCleaner] UscPlateToUscSqu=45 To: [UnderStencilCleaner] UscPlateToUscSqu=36

Part No.1010502 Page 40 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Custom BGA Directory Previously, the directory used to store and retrieve BGA templates was dened by the applications working directory. In response to customer feedback, Speedline has dened the directory to be a sub-directory under the directory dened for process programs (typically c:\les\BGA). Custom BGA Screen Tab Order Previously, the tab order used by the custom BGA screen was inconsistent with typical conventions. The order has been changed to cycle through the parameters more orderly. Missing DLL on Windows NT Systems Previously, systems running Windows NT were missing a required Microsoft le from software version 8.3.1. This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Part No.1010502 Page 41 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Software Enhancements The following enhancements have been made for this release: Stencil Cleaning Solvent Prime Function With the release of a new solvent spray bar design (tube in tube) used for wetting the stencil cleaning paper, a new parameter (Prime Frequency) was added to the Setup stencil cleaner screen (Figure) to allow priming to occur on a set interval of stencil cleaning. Valid range for this new parameter is 0 (never) to 100 cycles.
Figure 21. Setup Stencil Cleaner Screen

For machines not tted with the tube-in-tube hardware option, the default Frequency will be set to 1, thereby operating the same as the previous version. For machines tted with the tubein-tube hardware option, the default Frequency will be set to 0 (never). The following parameters have been added to the SIGPRO.INI le to support this feature. [UnderStencilCleaner] UscTubeInTubeFitted=False

Part No.1010502 Page 42 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Added Move Camera to Back Button A Move Camera to Back button has been added to the Print Mode Utilities screen and the Utilities pull-down menu. This feature helps to facilitate manual cleaning of the stencil by automatically moving the camera out of the way for unobstructed access to the stencil. Wiper Speed Enhancements Signicant changes have been made to improve stencil cleaning operations. In conjunction with a CRATE rmware change (Align Card #4 now at V5.2), the stencil cleaning module operations now operate at a higher rate of speed. New parameters in the INI le allow the collecting and parking to occur using increased speed and reduced engagement delays. Even without the rmware change, you should still experience faster cleaning cycles. The following parameters have been changed/added to the SIGPRO.INI le to support this feature: Changed: [SRC] YMaximumCount=24500 [UnderStencilCleaner] SrcYHomeToUscMagPlate=600 CollectionSpeed=200 To: [SRC] YMaximumCount=24800 [UnderStencilCleaner] SrcYHomeToUscMagPlate=750 CollectionSpeed=800 In addition, the following was added: [USCStage] ParkCollectSpeed=15 ParkCollectDelay=5 Vacuum Tooling Toggle Button In the Tooling Setup page, a button to toggle the vacuum tooling option on and off has been added to aid in setting up the vacuum tooling system.

Part No.1010502 Page 43 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Release Notes for Version 8.4.2


Software version 8.4.2 includes the following software enhancements. Software Enhancements Changed Z-Axis Homing Routine Machines assembled with cast mechanical components on the table assembly benet from the improved homing routine that prevents motion below the axis home position. Previously, with v2.01 rmware loaded in the z-axis controller, it could be possible to drive the table low enough to damage the cast components. Note Additional hardware and calibration procedures are required to implement this feature when upgrading to this release. By default this feature is not enabled on an upgrade. V2.2 rmware incorporates an improved homing routine that prohibits movement below the home position. By default, when the v2.2 rmware is ashed to the PacSci controller, it will respond exactly as the previous v2.01 rmware until the required z-axis calibrations are performed. This implies that any version of Accuex will work with any version of rmware. The revised homing routine is only enabled by re-calibrating with Accuex v8.4.2 or higher when rmware v2.2 is present.

Increased The Number Of Cycle For Diagnostic Tests With the implementation of QC-CALC, is was identied that the user would benet from diagnostic data with a larger dataset. Added Graphic Grid Over Camera Calibration Screen To assist with the theta alignment of the camera, a graphical grid is available from the vision calibration screen. This feature requires service level access. Home Powered Rails During Product Changeover To improve rail positioning accuracy, during product changeover the rails will initialize and then move to the requested position. This feature is enabled via the Congure > Options menu under the Product Changeover tab.

Part No.1010502 Page 44 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Software Fixes Default Template Directory For Custom BGA When loading or saving custom BGA templates, an error would occur if the default directory did not exist. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The default directory is now created. Camx/QC CALC Message Format The missing termination character for the PrintCycleData message has been added. Initialization Of Z Axis Every Thirty Cycles The legacy code that caused the Z axis to initialize every thirty cycles has been removed. This was an artifact of an earlier control architecture.

Part No.1010502 Page 45 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Release Notes for Version 8.5.0


Software Enhancements Software version 8.5.0 includes the following software enhancements: Post Dry Wipe An additional step has been added to the stencil cleaning sequence that allows for a dry, non-vacuum wipe as the nal step to the wipe sequence. This feature is enabled by selecting Post dry wipe from the Setup stencil cleaner dialog:

Wiper Paper Advance Following Wipe Cycle This feature allows you to advance the wiper paper following a wipe sequence in order to tension the paper for the next wipe and remove any potential paper sagging caused by wet wipes. This feature, which is set in the Setup stencil cleaner dialog (above) is available for both the dry and wet wipe modes.

Part No.1010502 Page 46 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Camera Parameters Moved to INI File to Support Custom Features The camera scaling and exposure parameters have been moved to the INI le to permit changes in the magnication and lighting. This feature is only used on custom systems requiring such a feature and should be changed only by Speedline. Improved Wiper Paper Inventory Formula The wiper paper increment routine has been improved to better calculate the paper position during consumption. The operator is required to maintain accurate paper parameters in the INI le. These include paper length, supply roll outside diameter when full and supply roll outside diameter when full when empty. It is also important that the proper motor hardware be installed and motor speed settings be applied to the INI le. For maximum accuracy, the supply roller tension may need to be calibrated. [UnderStencilClean] RollDiameterFullMM = 63 RollDiameterEmptyMM = 25 TotalPaperLengthMM = 16764 PaperDriveRPM = 11 Support for QC Calc The CAMx event log features have been exposed to permit data capture via QC Calc. No license for CAMx is required when used under this scenario. Improved 2D Results Form Previously you would need to open the Advanced portion of the dialog to see additional 2D results. With this software release, all results are combined onto a single form for ease of use. Improved Diagnostics Utilities that Integrate with ProLink QC CALC The diagnostic routines have been rewritten to provide better test scenarios and improved data presentation. Improved Closed Loop Diagnostics A Service level diagnostic routine can now be used to test the repeatability of the closed loop squeegee system. Sequence Change Allows for Sharing of Fiducial Data by Alignment and Inspection Systems Using common data, these routines eliminate the need to query ducial location multiple times.

Part No.1010502 Page 47 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Support for Running Vacuum Tooling without Foils The Accuex now supports using vacuum tooling without foils for boards with features close to the edge. This option removes the gap between the board and stencil when components are located close to the rails.

Part No.1010502 Page 48 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Open Product Notes During Machine Conguration Product les can now be congured (via the Congure options dialog - shown below) to display product notes when the le is opened.

Part No.1010502 Page 49 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Software Fixes Double Board Load when Pausing Production During Load Previously, on systems congured to run with FMI, when pausing production during a board load sequence, the system would loose track of the board inventory. Upon resuming production, the system would call for another board using FMI, causing the initial and the secondary board to enter the worknest. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Retract Board Stop Magnets Previously, under certain conditions, the board stop\tooling magnets were left in a downward position. Although not recommended, some customers would on occasion manually move the camera gantry and cause a collision between the board stops and the foils\rails. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. To improve the handling of messages, the board stop will now be raised before any alerts. No action is required to implement this feature. Support for Tooling Offset Calibration This is a service-level tool for updating machine calibrations for tooling pin placement. Currently the data is set at the factory, but this calibration routine permits eld re-calibration when higher accuracy pin placement is required. Corrected CAMx Message Formats Previously, certain CAMx messages were improperly formatted or terminated. These have been corrected in this release. Default INI Parameters Changes have been made to the default parameters used when creating new product les. Force Vision Calibration Before Tooling if Process File Created on Another Machine If the process le was created on another machine (different serial number), then the system forces the need for vision calibration before tooling. Added Load Board to Vision Height Menu and Toolbar Button A menu item has been added under Utilities and in the utilities toolbar to allow for loading of boards to vision height.

Part No.1010502 Page 50 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Rail Home Process Can Damage Rails if Sensor Disconnected Previously, the system would not detect if the rail home sensors failed, leading to the possibility of machine damage when moving inward after a false home signal. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The homing routine has been changed to ensure that the home sensor toggles. Option to Force Rails Home During Product Change Over Due to the potential for rail drift, it is recommended that the rails be homed before adjusting during product changeover. Camera Calibration Screen Improvements To assist with camera alignment, an overlay grid has been added and the live vision window has been expanded on the Diagnostics/XY Camera form. Failure to Create Template Directory When running the BGA wizard, the BGA template directory is created under the DefaultFileLocation. Previously, an issue existed where that if the DefualtFileLocation directory was not created, the application would error out. This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Part No.1010502 Page 51 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Release Notes for Version 8.5.1


Software Enhancements Software version 8.5.1 includes the following software enhancements: RemoteTech Shortcut A shortcut has been added to the desktop to allow for easy access to the Speedline RemoteTech feature. Software Fixes Stencil Clamps Not Re-Activated Following a Clean Cycle Previously, the stencil clamps would not activate after changing wiper paper on a machine not congured for automatic stencil cleaning. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Application Shuts Down When Selecting GridLok on Systems without Vacuum Previously, the printer application would shut down when you select optional tooling on systems not congured with vacuum tooling. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Table Diagnostic Tests Do Not Report Y2 Axis Failures Previously, the table diagnostic test would not report failures on the Y2 axis. This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Part No.1010502 Page 52 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Release Notes for Version 8.6.0


Software version 8.6.0 includes the following software enhancements. Software Enhancements SnapOff Delay A delay parameter has been added whereby the board will remain in contact with the stencil following the print stroke. The delay can be set between 0 and 30 seconds (in 1 second increments); with the default value being 0 or no delay. Calibration Date A feature has been added that records the date and time that the closed loop pump was calibrated in the sigpro.ini le under the [SqueegeeStage] section. Conveyor Load Timeout Support for congurable conveyor load timeout has been added for this release. Some installations using 2-wire machine interfaces (non-SMEMA), need the ability to congure the timeout used by the board load routines. The default value for this delay is 0 seconds which implies the conveyor never times out. For 2-wire interfaces, it is recommended that this be set to a time slightly longer than the longest time to index a board. This value is maintained in the sigpro.ini le under [Transfer] MoveOnTimeout. Tooling Pin Deletion You can now delete pins from the tooling setup page by holding down the shift key while clicking on a pin. RemoteTech Desktop and menu links have been added to walk users through the process of connecting to Speedline RemoteTech service. This feature requires that the Accuex have access to the Internet. Through a user initiated process, RemoteTech allows Speedline Technical Support personnel to watch the same screen that the user sees. RemoteTech keeps control of the machine at the user side, but provides a powerful tool in diagnosing machine issues by allowing Speedline remote access to the machine. RemoteTech requires IE 6.0 (or greater). Contact Speedline Technical support for more information. Production Rate A new chart in the SPC area of the production screen (and a display under the tabbed dialogs) displays a calculated production rate based on user congurable parameters. The user has the ability to determine the average production rate of a congurable sample size.

Part No.1010502 Page 53 of 56 March 13, 2008 Rev. M1

Display Name of User The status bar now displays the current user. Enforce PCB Sensor Keep-Out Region Previously you could not place tooling pins in the region below the PCB present sensor. This issue has been resolved. With the implementation of a newly designed ultrasonic sensor, tooling pins may now be placed anywhere. Once the ultrasonic sensor has been installed, the eld service engineer should append the following entry under the tooling section of the INI: EnforcePcbSensorKeepoutArea = FALSE In the absence of this parameter, the system will default to true, thereby enforcing the keepout rules. Expand User Security Option to Cover Sub-Menu Options Supervisors can now congure menu level access for up to 10 individual user levels using the System access permission levels dialog. To congure a user level, select the level using the slider at the bottom of the dialog, then select what functions the level will have access to using the on-screen checklist.

Vision ID A new feature has been added that allows ducials to be used for alignment or identication. By dening a ducial as ID, that ducial must be found prior to printing, but the location will not be included in the alignment process. This feature is useful for ensuring that the proper stencil is loaded for a particular board. Default Recipe for Dening Default Values Users can now save a le (with the name DEFAULT.SMT) that will be used as a template each time the user selects New from the le menu. A warning is displayed each time this le is saved. SnapShot A new utility allows you to capture a snapshot of your system, so that you can forward it back to Speedline for troubleshooting process-related or machine-related issues. The package is also stored locally on the system hard drive and can be opened using common le compression tools. The utility also has the ability to send the package via FTP (if the system has Internet access). File Change Indicator An indicator is now displayed at the top of the right hand machine status bar whenever a process parameter has changed and the program has not been saved. Improved Inspection Results Navigation When an error is detected by the 2D inspection feature, the rst error is displayed. In addition, navigation buttons have been added to allow the operator to jump to either the next\previous pad or component. Conveyor Transport Speed The conveyor transport speed setting is now set as a specic parameter within the recipe le and not in the machine conguration le (sigpro.ini). An appropriate transport speed can now be set for each individual product le.

Software Fixes Wet Paper Increment Distance Previously, the wet paper increment distance would be reset after it was set and the process programmed saved. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Double Board X Move Previously, when using the detent (Board X Move) feature on the board load sequence, the board stops would sequence twice to position the board to printing. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Enable HiE License This version of AccuPro enables the HiE license by default. This license key enables cycle time enhancements for controlling stepper motor speeds. Previously, machines needed to have the license key installed to derive these benets. Table to Tooling Height Previously, when Load Board to Tooling was selected on the machine maintenance form, the board would rst move to vision height and then down to tooling height. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Table Diagnostic Data Previously, the diagnostic results for XYY backlash were only validated against the X axis data. Y axis failures were not being properly reported. This issue has been resolved in this release of software. Silence Audible Alarm Previously, when an audible alarm error occurred, there was no way to silence the alarm while the operator addressed the error condition. This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Now, when an alarm sounds due to an error condition, a button displays (in the right side bar under the machine start\stop buttons) allowing the silencing of the alarm. Offsets Calibration The calculation of offsets and camera scaling during the calibration process has been improved with this release of software. New Calibrations The following new calibrations have been added for this release: Stencil Ejectors Tooling Pickup
