. Window for editing components.
(1)
Component ID:
Set the Component ID number. This number is unique and
cannot repeat in the same work file;
(2)
Feeder:
Set the feeder number (location) of this component. When specifying a
new feeder, the feeders list will automatically add a new entry;
(3)
Place speed:
Sets the placement speed, in range 50%-100%. Speed of 0 is
equivalent to 100%. 50% reduces speed, which can improve accuracy;
(4)
Component height:
Set component height. Default is 0.5 mm, corresponding to
typical resistor thickness. Adjust also for board thickness. Larger values move
the nozzle upwards. The nozzle displacement depends on height for the pick
operation at the IC tray and place on the PCB, but not during the feeder pick and
vision. Height must be less than 5 mm.
(5)
Place angle:
Set placement rotation angle of component on PCB.
Counterclockwise is positive, clockwise is negative;
(6)
Component designator:
Designator on silkscreen, such as R1, C2, U1 etc.
Here, the
text “Component comment” is in error and needs to get fixed;
(7)
Nozzle:
Selects pick-up nozzle 1 or 2;
(8)
Place coordinate X\Y:
Placement component location on PCB in X\Y, typically
imported from EDA software;
(9)

= Skip component:
Normally use

to place parts;
(10)
Vacuum checks:
When checked, measures if vacuum is sufficient to indicate
the pick-up of a component. If not, attempts to pick a 2
nd
time. If still fails, tape is
