Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Parts not picked up properly, even though pickup location is constant | plastic tape | * keep in mind, that tapes are aligned to their bottom surface → the pickup location of plastic tapes is way lower than the paper tape's location | |
| Pickup location not constant | paper tape | * more force on tape tensioner * lower force on cover tape tensioner |
|
| plastic tape | |||
| Parts jumping out of pockets | plastic tape | *adjust lane height with M2x8 screw |  |
| paper tape | |||
| Cover tape rolls under anti popout tunnel | plastic tape | *raise force on cover tape tensioner in a very small amount | |
| paper tape | *raise force on cover tape tensioner *don't put cover tape into the slit. put it before as parts don't tend to jump out of paper tapes. | ||
| Tape doesn't advance, but servo moves. | *servo doesn't retract advancing lever enough → adjust angles with M620 command | ||
| Servo doesn't move | *enable feeder *tape tension insufficient (feeder in error state), you can ignore error by appending X1 to the feed command | ||
| Cover tape motor won't turn on | - | *make sure the rotation of the cover tape tensioner is really easy | |
