1. The operator will populate a PCB with compliant pin components outside the CAPI-6T.
2. As soon as the operator is clear and the access doors are closed, the press cycle can start.
3. The press shall stop instantaneously if the press area is intruded upon.
4. The operator will start the pressing cycle by double-clicking the on-
screen “Run” button or pressing the
green “Start/Pause” push
-button. The pressing head will first move to a position clear of the conveyor.
5. When prompted, the operator will place the assembled PCB onto the conveyor extension (if not
already) and acknowledge the prompt, either by pressing the green “Start/Pause” button or by clicking
the “OK” button on the screen message. An optional bar code scanner may be used to scan the PCB
when prompted.
6. The press will automatically convey the PCB from the Conveyor Extension into the pressing area. The
PCB will then be lowered onto the pressing fixture and clamped down to it.
7. The press will automatically retrieve the tooling that is required and begin the cycle. Each connector
will be pressed in the sequence that is programmed, changing tools when needed. If any errors occur
during the press cycle, the operator will be notified with the option to either retry (if appropriate) or
cancel.
8. The operator may interrupt the press cycle by clicking the on-
screen “Stop” button or pressing the
green “Start/Pause” push
-button. The press cycle will stop after the current connector is completed.
Pressing the green “Start/Pause” button during execution of a conne
ctor press profile will immediately
halt the press head.
9. If the press cycle was interrupted, the operator may resume operation by double-clicking the on-
screen “Run” button or pressing the green “Start/Pause” push
-button. Any error conditions must be
corrected first.
10. When the operation is complete, the PCB will be unclamped, raised above the fixture and conveyed
out of the press area onto the Conveyor Extension. The operator will then be prompted to remove the
completed assembly from the Conveyor Extension. Once the PCB is removed, the operator must
acknowledge this by pressing the green “Start/Pause” button or clicking the “OK” button on the screen
message.
11. The next cycle begins with the operator again prompted to load an assembled PCB onto the Conveyor
Extension.
12. The Production mode sequence is similar except that the PCB flows through the machine from left to
right and once the cycle is started, no further operator intervention is required when loading from or
unloading to another SMEMA compliant machine.
13. If the press is the first machine in a line, the operator will be prompted as described above to place an
assembled PCB onto the left side Conveyor Extension, if one is not already present.
14. If the press is the last machine in a line, the operator will be prompted as described above to remove
each completed PCB from the right side Conveyor Extension.

MACHINE LOGS
14.1.
Error Log
The error log is automatically appended with every error message that is displayed during any machine
function. This includes time and date stamp, operator, description of error message, and duration of error
condition. Cold startup is also captured. By reviewing the log, machine operation can be evaluated on a
detailed level. Data covering Selected Dates can be viewed, or All can be chosen. Also see the Machine
Utilization section for related data. See Figure 49.
The error log can be purged by selecting the data period that you would like to save, then pressing Update
Error Log. For example, to delete all but the last 60 days of data, se
lect “60 Days”, then press Update Error
Log.
