Theory of Operation
Operation of the TM-402 is simple. The operator loads the Bowl Feeder and then configures the
job for the selected part using the TM-402’s intuitive, touch screen
Human Machine Interface
(HMI) . Job configuration includes selecting and programming inspection criteria.
When the TM-402 is set in motion, the pick head picks an individual part from the Bowl Feeder
Nest and places the part directly into a carrier tape pocket. The 2D Vision System detects empty
pockets and inspects placed parts for mark and orientation prior to cover tape application. Parts
that fail inspection stop operation and trigger an error message, allowing the user to correct the
error before continuing operation.
As the tape advances, it passes sensors which detect jams in tape. Once the carrier tape
reaches the TM-402 sealer assembly, cover tape is applied. The part is then sealed in the pocket
with either a
Heat Seal or Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) cover tape. When the sealing pro-
cess is complete, the finished tape is routed onto a take-up reel.
During operation, the operator keeps the selected Bowl Feeder supplied with parts and observes
the inspection process, adjusting operation and inspection settings as needed. In the event of 2D
inspection fails, the operator may re-orient or swap out parts from the output area as needed.
When tape reels are complete, the operator removes the full reel and replaces it with a new reel.
