CAUTION
Do not operate the machine with sensors removed or disabled.

• Removing or disabling sensors will disarm the interlock, resulting in collisions and
damage to the machine.

Always wear an antistatic wrist strap when working with circuit boards.

• Failure to do so may result in board damage.

• Ensure that the wrist strap is connected to the earth bonding point.

Do not push or pull on the mark camera unit when moving the placing head.

• The position of the mark camera may be shifted, which negatively affects the
placing accuracy of the machine.

When pulling forward or returning a module, move the module slowly and gently so it
does not strike the stopper.

• It is possible that the machine position may move if the module strikes the stopper.

Connect a 200 to 230 V AC +/-10%, 50/60 Hz power supply to the machine primary
power supply side.

• The machine may not function properly or be damaged if a power supply other than
that above is used.

Note
If no empty slots exist, remove a feeder that is not used in production. Feeders which are not being used can be identified by checking the LED
above the feeders on the front cover of the module. The LED is not lit for slots at which feeders are not being used.

4. Ensure that the LED on the front cover of the machine is green for the feeder which was set.

5. Repeat the procedures above until all necessary feeders have been set.

Note
Due to the difference in the number of slots occupied by different feeders, there are cases when it is not possible to set all feeders depending
on the allocation. When using a job that requires several different feeder types, set the narrowest feeders (the feeders occupying the fewest
number of slots) in the lowest possible slot numbers (slot 1, 2, ....).

automatically clamp the module. If no error occurs and the module is not automatically clamped,
gently pull the module forward a short distance and then push back into position.

Note
Guidance for attaching the tray unit is displayed at modules which had a tray unit removed. Follow the guidance to attach the tray unit.

8. Specify conveyor width settings in Accessory Software to match the size of the backup plate you
inserted.

4.9.4 Areas in which backup pins can be placed


The areas in which backup pins can be placed are given below.

• The areas where backup pins can be allocated are the same for both double conveyor machines
and single conveyor machines.

• Backup pins cannot be allocated in the area 2 mm from the panel edge.

• The center position of the panel moves according to the value specified for [Panel Stopping Position
Offset] in the machine configuration settings in Job Builder. Consider the set value when allocating
backup pins.

• If positions of backup pins are specified outside the range shown in the figure above, an error is
displayed during a data check.

4.9.5 Cautions when allocating backup pins


When allocating backup pins to the backup plate, be sure to take into consideration the position of
premounted parts on the bottom side of the panel. Allocate backup pins so that they do not collide with
premounted parts.

01SYS-0518

4.9.6 Cautions when using the optional soft backup pins


Note the following three points when using the soft backup pins.

a. Deviations in the panel position

b. Restrictions for pre-mounted parts

c. Possible positioning range

Deviations in the panel position


If the height of a pre-mounted part on the panel is large, there are instances when the panel position can
deviate when it comes into contact with the ascending soft backup pins before the panel is clamped.
(Depending on the shape of the part and the weight of the panel, different conditions occur.)

The panel is lifted up, causing


Pre-mounted part a deviation in the position.

Clamp direction NXTBAS233-E

Change the position of the backup pin so that it does not come into contact with the pre-mounted part.
Another option is to cut off the pin that comes into contact with the pre-mounted part.

Cut pin

Block moved
NXTBAS234-E

NXT III/NXT IIIc System Reference 143


4. Preparing production SYS-NXT3C-013E0

Restrictions for pre-mounted parts


The height of a pre-mounted part on the lower surface of the panel must be less than 13 mm. When a pre-
mounted part exceeds 13 mm in height, it is longer than the soft backup pins, thus the part collides with the
base of the backup pin block and the panel cannot be clamped.

Panel
Position with the panel clamped

Pre-mounted part
13 mm or less
Block
NXTBAS235-E

Possible positioning range


There are two different sizes for the soft backup pins. By using these for different positions, it is possible to
support many sizes of panels.

W=30 mm

W=42 mm

If the panel width is less than 65 mm,


then use the 30 mm wide soft backup pins.
01SYS-0250E

Note
1. Set the soft backup pins on the backup plate ensuring that they do not protrude from the end of the plate.
2. Soft backup pins for the NXT-3c are different in shape to the pins used with the NXT-3.
3. Soft backup pins for the NXT-3 can be used at M6-3c modules. Set them on the backup plate and ensure they do not protrude from the
end of the plate.

4.11.1 Cautions when exchanging heads


Pay attention to the following points when exchanging heads.

CAUTION
• The head or shaft can be damaged by the magnetic field generated by the linear motor in the Y-
axis. Keep the head away from the shaft of the Y-axis. Also, the head should always be in the
exchange position (away from the linear motor) when attaching or removing the head.
• Do not strike the linear scale with foreign objects or damage it in any way when exchanging heads
or performing maintenance. If the linear scale is damaged, errors will occur and production will not
be able to be performed. When this occurs, the linear scale must be replaced.

Caution regarding splicing carrier tape


Splicing is a procedure that should only be performed when the number of remaining parts in the carrier is
very small. If splicing is performed when there are still lots of parts left in the carrier tape, then the diameter
of the tape roll may exceed the diameter of the parts reel when the carrier tape is taken up.

Carrier Tape Carrier Tape

Parts reel Parts reel 01SYS-0332E

If the reel is set in the reel holder with the carrier tape in this condition then the tape may interfere with the
feeder, and the loose tape may get twisted as it is moved forwards, causing indexing problems.

Ensure that the diameter of the tape roll does not exceed the diameter of the parts reel.

Caution when using the free allocation function

5.4.4 Using dynamic alternate feeders


Production can be continued by using the dynamic alternate feeder function. During production, a report is
issued by Fujitrax Verifier that a part is going to run out. The operator prepares a feeder with the same part
and places this feeder in an empty position in the module. Fujitrax Verifier checks the set feeder and
changes that feeder position into an alternate feeder for the matching part. Once the original feeder runs
out of parts, the alternate feeder is then used by the machine.

Note
In order to use the dynamic alternate feeder function, Fujitrax Verifier must be used.

Two different modes can be selected when using dynamic alternate devices. Settings for the modes are
specified in Fujitrax.

Setting Description

Look For Removable The alternate feeder can be used when a condition such as a parts out
warning occurs for the feeder currently being used in production, or
when a problem occurs during parts pick up.

Keep Alt Feeder The alternate feeder can be use regardless of the condition of the feeder
currently being used for production.

Replacing feeders
1. Verify that a parts out warning is displayed at the machine operation panel, the status screen in Kit
Manager, or the parts status screen in Kit Handy.

2. Prepare a parts reel containing the same parts as the parts that are currently being placed. Set the
new parts reel in a feeder.

3. Use Kit Manager to create an ID, or use Kit Manager or Kit Handy to perform quick verification. (The
machine will check the parts type once the feeder has been inserted into the device pallet).

Note
Create a different ID if the new parts have a different part number than the current parts.

4. Set an alternate feeder for which verification has been performed into an empty slot on the device
pallet.

5. Check the feeder set LED for that position. If it turns green, verification was completed successfully
and the feeder status is changed into an alternate feeder.

6. Once the original feeder runs out of parts, remove that feeder and the machine starts to use the
alternate feeder. After the original feeder is removed, the LED for the alternate feeder changes to red
and the feeder must be removed (it becomes a “removeable feeder”).

Note
If multiple dynamic alternate feeders are set for the same part, the status of all of the set feeders becomes “removeable”.

From this point, procedures differ according to the mode selected for dynamic alternate devices.

NXT III/NXT IIIc System Reference 187


5. Production SYS-NXT3C-013E0

When [Look For Removable] is selected

1. The guidance area changes to display the guidance for moving the alternate feeder to the original
feeder position. Remove the alternate feeder. At this point the original slot red LED will begin to blink.

01SYS-0767

Caution
When there are multiple alternate feeders, only remove one of the alternate feeders. If two or more feeders are removed, the feeder
guidance will not display correctly.

2. Set the removed alternate feeder in the original feeder position. The feeder set LED turns green if
verification is OK and production can continue.

2. When panels are loaded, if a new job is specified by a barcode ID, panels being produced start to be
unloaded and the job is changed automatically.

3. If a changeover operation such as exchanging the head is required, guidance for the operator is
displayed at the operation panel of the machine. Follow the displayed guidance and perform the
necessary changeover work.

6.4.2 Handy scanner mode


In this mode, a handy scanner is used to scan a barcode on a production command document in order to
change jobs and start production.

The following items are required in order to use handy scanner mode.

• Barcode reader (connected to a computer)

• Barcodes that specify the desired jobs (production command document)

Procedure
1. Push START to start production.

2. Read the barcode for the next job when production of the final panel for the current job begins.

Note
Refer to chapter 4, "4.5.5 Changeover by scanning the barcode ID" in the Accessory Software Operation Manual.

3. The panel for the current job is completed and unloaded to the next module. Automatic changeover
occurs after unloading is completed.

6.4.3 Automatic changeover usage precautions


There are three automatic changeover modes: production order, barcode ID, and handy scanner. Exercise
caution regarding the following items when using the automatic changeover function.

1. The following is the recovery method if the machine power is turned off when automatic changeover
has been performed for only some of the modules.

Auto changeover completed Job previous to changeover

M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8

NXTOPE218-E
Unload panels from the next modules.

a. Starting from the next modules and unload the panels after rebooting.
Unload panels starting from the next modules after rebooting.

b. After unloading any panels from module M6, start unloading panels from M5.

c. After all of the panels have been unloaded from the modules, change the job using the operation
panel on the modules that have not completed changeover (M5 to M8 in the example).

2. If there is no job in the machine for the current production, then use Fuji Flexa to transmit it to the
machine.

3. Ensure that the machine configuration in the job and the actual machine configuration match and then
transmit the job.

4. When using the "barcode ID" mode, do not place a buffer conveyor between the conveyor where the
barcode reader is installed and the first module of the NXT-3.

5. Jobs cannot be transmitted to the background from Fuji Flexa when the automatic changeover
function is being used. Jobs are either automatically transmitted to the background by the automatic
changeover function, or they can be reserved by performing settings in the Next Production screen in
Production Monitor.

6. When the automatic changeover function is being used, background jobs cannot be changed if the
machine is waiting for an operation to be performed.

7. After a job has been specified to be used in automatic changeover, that job should not be edited.
When the automatic changeover function determines the next job is to be used, reading of that job
begins in the background. There is no indication at the machine or in Accessory Software that reading
of the next job is occurring.

8. If the current job is lost, it can be restored by using the following procedure:

a. Select the "OFF" option for [Automatic changeover] in the [Machine Configuration].

b. Transmit the current job from Fuji Flexa as the next job.

c. Switch to the background job at the machine using the operation panel.

d. Select the "ON" option for [Automatic changeover] in the [Machine Configuration].

254 NXT III/NXT IIIc System Reference


SYS-NXT3C-013E0 6. Machine operations

9. After replacing the CPU box, the current job and next job are lost if not backed up in diagnostic mode.
The current job may also be lost if an error occurs during job changeover. In this case, perform the
procedure described above in the previous step to recover.

10. Background jobs are cleared when automatic changeover is switched from OFF to ON. If the job
currently being used in the next module is different from the job for the panel to be unloaded to that
module, a job must be sent to the background and job changeover must be performed at the next
module before unloading the panel to that module.

11. When performing automatic changeover from single module to paired module production, a job
change is not possible when the following occurs:
1) One of the modules has been changed to a paired module production job.
2) Power is turned off for that module.
3) Production is restarted at another module.
In such a case, unload all the single module production panels, and then use the recovery procedures
listed in item 8 to change to the job for paired module production.

12. When using automatic changeover, it is not possible to change to another job if no panels have been
produced for the job in the foreground. In such cases, production of all panels must be completed and
the panels unloaded before the next job can be changed.

13. Automatic changeover cannot be performed correctly for a line in which a module is in conveyor only
mode (breakdown operation). Do not use automatic changeover when a module is in conveyor only
mode (breakdown operation).

14. Automatic changeover is not supported when in idle mode.

6.25.2 When 2D code reading errors occur

When using 2D codes on the top of parts


When [Do not permit conveyance] is specified for [Panel conveyance when part 2D code reading errors
occur] in the Fujitrax profiling settings, the machine displays error guidance and stops production.

01SYS-1097

1. The part for which the 2D code reading error occurred is displayed.

2. Check the image which caused the reading error on the monitor.

3. Refer to the displayed lane number, board number, and reference number, and check the 2D code in
the part for which the error occurred.

4. If an error still occurs when trying to read again, use the panel removal manual mode command and
remove the panel.

When using 2D codes on the bottom of parts


The machine discards the applicable part, then performs recovery. If the recovery limit is reached, an error
code denoting a 2D code reading error has occurred is displayed on the machine.

NXT III/NXT IIIc System Reference 331


6. Machine operations SYS-NXT3C-013E0

6.25.3 Important point

1. A maximum of 10 types of parts with 2D codes can be loaded to one module.

2. When it is specified to not use Fujitrax Profiler, parts with 2D codes can be placed but the codes are
not read.

Important points when using 2D codes on the bottom of parts

1. When parts with 2D codes on the bottom are to be dipped using the following dipping operation;
pickup > vision processing > dipping > vision processing > placement, the 2D code is read during
vision processing before dipping, but is not read during vision processing after dipping.

2. When parts with 2D codes on the bottom are to be dipped using the following dipping operation;
pickup > dipping > vision processing > placement, the 2D code is read during vision processing after
dipping. If the 2D code cannot be read after dipping, change the settings so that vision processing is
performed before dipping.

3. 2D codes on the bottom of parts cannot be read when using idle operation (No vision processing, no
feeder indexing).

4. Vision type 253 does not support reading 2D codes on the bottom of parts, and thus an error occurs
when using idle operation (no panel conveyance, VT 253).

5. When reading the 2D codes on the bottom of parts for which part direction checks are also performed,
the direction may be checked from the image taken to read the 2D code on the bottom of the part to
save time. This means that the imaging conditions will differ from those previously used, which may
result in a vision processing error when checking the part direction. When this occurs, adjust the
setting for [CCD Level] in the [Shape Process] - [Pin Check] tab in the shape data.

9.2.8 Panel unloading order settings


When performing dual lane or triple lane production, it is now possible to select the order in which panels
are unloaded to the next machine from the individual lanes. The two orders that can be selected are shown
below.

• Panels are unloaded in the order they are produced

• Panels are unloaded in the order they are loaded whenever possible

• Panels are unloaded in the order they are loaded

The default setting is [Panels are unloaded in the order they are produced]. Panels loaded to each lane are
unloaded in the order they complete production. If production stops at one lane due to parts out or a similar
reason, production will continue in the other lane without maintaining line balance. Specifying [Panels are
unloaded in the order they are loaded] for this setting maintains line balance between lane 1 and lane 2
because panels are unloaded in the same order as they entered the machine.

Specify the panel unloading order that best suits your production line.

Panel B Lane 2

Example: Panel A Lane 1


Specifying the setting [Panels are unloaded in the order they are loaded]
Panel A is loaded to lane 1, completes production and is then unloaded before panel B.
Even if parts run out and production stops at lane 1 and moves to lane 2, panel A is still
unloaded before panel B because productionresumes at lane 1 after parts are resupplied
to lane 1. (Panel B waits to be unloaded from lane 2 even when it has completed production). 01SYS-0197E

Restart the reading process and change the operation panel to display the vision processing images by
pushing MONITOR. Check the following points when the mark with the error is displayed.

Point Description/Countermeasure

Is the mark present? If the mark is not present that can indicate that the mark position in the
job is incorrect or possibly that the panel was loaded incorrectly.
Remove the panel and ensure that it was loaded correctly.
Check the position of the mark and then check the position of the mark
in the job and correct if necessary.

If the panel is not stopping in the correct position, use the panel stopping
position correction function.

Is the mark clear? Ensure that nothing is covering the mark and that the mark is clearly
visible. Remove any items covering the mark. This is especially
common for marks read during calibration due to the retractable
reference conveyor tops.
If the mark is not clearly visible, check the lighting of the mark camera.

position for the part. Is the pickup position at the center of the desired
pickup point (usually the center of the body)?
- If the packaging is the cause of the error (such as the cavity in the tape
is shifted), specify a device offset at the machine using manual mode
commands.
- If it is not correct, open the job in MEdit and change the pickup point
offset in the shape data for the part in question. Try pickup again after
resending the data to the machine.
Is the pickup height good? Check the pickup offset Z height for the part in question and then check
the actual pickup height for the part in the feeder.
Is the pickup offset Z good?

If it is not correct, open the job in MEdit and correct the pickup offset Z
(tray, if for tray parts) in the shape data (part data) for the part in
question. Try pickup again after resending the data to the machine.

If it is very close to the correct height, try changing this offset to just be
a little lower and then try again. (Do no lower too much or part/nozzle
damage may occur.)
If the pickup offset Z is good, check the levelness of the feeder pallet and
send any necessary adjustments to the module.

module (not an axis on the head). Only perform the following steps if a Fuji representative has trained you
on how to perform them. If you have not been trained on how to perform the following steps, contact your
Fuji representative.

1. Check the battery for that axis. If it is already connected and the encoder cable for this axis was not
disconnected, replace the battery. If unsure whether the battery is good or not, replace the battery
with a new one.

2. Move the axis gently by hand to the correct position for that axis to reset the origin positioning.

3. Perform an MT Reset.

4. Restart the machine and the error should be cleared and the machine can be used for production. If
it has not been cleared, check the encoder cable connection and ensure that the battery connection
is good.

If the encoder memory is lost for an axis on a head.


The battery in the head maintains the encoder memory for the axes on the head. If the encoder cable is
disconnected from a motor or the battery is disconnected when there is no power being supplied to the
encoder from the machine, the encoder memory is lost. If the encoder memory is lost for some reason, an
encoder backup error occurs. Perform the following steps if this occurs for an axis on a head. Only perform
the following steps if a Fuji representative has trained you on how to perform them. If you have not been
trained on how to perform the following steps, contact your Fuji representative.

1. Check the battery for the head. If it is already connected and the encoder cables for the axes were
not disconnected, replace the battery. If unsure whether the battery is good or not, replace the battery
with a new one.

2. Move all of the axes on the head gently by hand to their correct positions for each axis to reset the
origin positioning.

3. Perform a MT Reset for all of the axes on the head.

4. Set nozzle jigs in the nozzle station and perform autocalibration. Refer to section "4.10.2 Removing
and attaching nozzles" for details on setting nozzle jigs in the module. Once autocalibration has been
completed, the machine can be used for production. If the error has not been cleared, check the
encoder cable connection and ensure that the battery connection is good.

12.4 Troubleshooting common Fuji Flexa and


Fujitrax related issues
12.4.1 Fuji Flexa related errors

After transmitting jobs, the machine requires many items to be


changed such as heads.
This can indicate a configuration problem in the job.

Open the job and ensure that the module configuration matches that of the actual machine (for example,
module types, head types, nozzle station types). If an error is found, correct the error and optimize the job
for the machine again.

When I attempt to transmit a job, the machine has a red X over the
icon in the [Transmit Job] dialog box, but I know the job has the
correct machine.
The most likely cause for this problem is that the job being transmitted is in the local job directory.

Copy the job into the global job directory and attempt to transmit the same job from the global directory.
There should be no red X in the [Transmit Job] dialog box. Only jobs in the global directory can be
transmitted to machines.

12.4.2 Fujitrax related errors

The machine is registered and setup correctly in the line


configuration file for Fujitrax and the system has been restarted,
but the machine still does not use Fujitrax.
To change this setting, Accessory Software must be used. Refer to the procedures "Making Machine
Configuration Settings" in the Fuji Accessory Software chapter for how to change the Fujitrax setting.

I made IDs for the parts and feeders, but when I set the parts on the
machine, it will never accept the parts even though they and the
feeders are correct.
The most likely cause for this issue is that the Quickverify required mode is set to "ON" at the computer with
the Verifier Central Server for the machine.

When this setting is on, even if the parts are correct and IDs are created, the parts will not be accepted when
set on the machine until a quickverify is performed on those parts. Perform a quickverify for the parts and
if the machine then accepts the feeders, then that was the issue. Turn this setting off if this mode is not
desired.

SYS-NXT3C-013E0 12. Troubleshooting

After logging on to the Kit Handy, I cannot select the machine in


the device check mode. Nor do I see any parts out warnings or
machine errors.
The most likely cause for not being able to access the machine device check screen is that the User ID used
to log on is not registered for the machine in the Kit Handy Settings.

1. Start Kit Manager and have an administrator level user log on.

2. In the line display on the left side of the window, right-click the machine and select [Kit Handy Settings]
from the shortcut menu that displays.

Note
The dialog box for the [Kit Handy Setting] displays with a list of users that are responsible for that machine.

3. Add the user ID previously used to this list.

This setting affects which machines display in the Parts out list and Machine Errors list at Kit Handy as well
as the machines that a device check can be performed on. In addition, this setting also determines which
machines display under the [Operator] branch in Kit Manager for the user logged on.

12.5 Major machine issues


Many units on the machine can be replaced easily without any special measurements or skill required, refer
to the Mechanical Reference for procedures on replacing units. If a unit stops working or there is an
intermediate problem, replace the unit and check the condition of the new unit. If the new unit works
correctly, send the old unit to be serviced with a detailed description of the problem.

It is important to note that while units are easy to replace, items in units should not be changed or adjusted
except by qualified Fuji representatives. This point ensures that all units are the same and this is one of the
reasons for easy replacement and the lack of special measurements. Some examples of "units" are the
parts camera/lighting unit, head, module CPU, and the mark camera/lighting unit.

Note
If an item is not in the Mechanical Reference and the procedures for replacing that are unknown, then do not attempt to replace the item.
Contact your Fuji representative for guidance about the item.

If a major problem is encountered (such as, numerous OS errors) and it cannot be resolved, acquire the
trace data from all of the related items and send this data to your Fuji representative along with a detailed
explanation of the conditions in which the problem occurs, any steps taken to resolve the problem, and any
error codes displayed. If all of this data is sent to your Fuji representative, the troubleshooting process is
greatly aided and steps already taken mostly likely do not need to be repeated, thus saving time.

SYS-NXT3C-013E0 12. Troubleshooting

12.6 Acquiring trace data


Use the following procedures to acquire trace data from the machine when errors and software issues
occur.

There are two methods for generating trace data.

a. Acquiring data using the on-machine save function

b. After an OS error occurs, trace data is automatically generated.

12.6.1 Acquiring data using the on-machine save function


By using commands on the machine, it is possible to generate trace data. This allows trace data to be saved
temporarily in the machine if an error occurs during production.

Refer to "5.9 Saving trace data" for details.

Afterwards, acquire the trace data using Accessory Software by selecting [Data Acquisition] - [Acquire
Trace] from the machine accessories section when the machine is selected.

12.6.2 Acquiring after operating system errors


Use the following procedure if an operating system error or application error occurs.

The procedures below must be followed. If the main power switch for the machine is not turned on and then
off, trace data cannot be acquired using Accessory Software due to a communication error.

1. Turn off the main power switch.

2. Turn on the main power switch.

3. When the module has started and entered sleep mode, acquire the trace data using Accessory
Software by selecting [Data Acquisition] - [Acquire Trace] from the machine accessories section when
the module is selected.
