FAQ's 1515, 3065, 4065, 4090, and Robot Modes

What is error-15 and how do I correct this?

During the search process a component edge was not detected. A detailed explanation of this can be found in § 2.2.7.7 Edge Not Found.

What is error –32 and how do I correct this?

This error will occur due to an unexpected Component Sensor output. A detailed explanation of this can be found in § 2.2.7.6 Edge Not Found.

What do these errors mean? –5, -25, -26, -27, -28

These are all vacuum related errors. Vacuum level is checked throughout the pick and place process. Depending at the stage in the process when the vacuum level drops, a different negative value will be displayed. Please see § 7 Error and Operation Codes for more details.

Why are components spit off the chuck sometimes?

Either the vacuum threshold was not reached during chucking, or the vacuum level dropped during the remaining process prior to placement. To fix this, ensure that the component and chuck are aligned correctly at pick-up (chucking) and that Upper/Lower vacuum threshold have proper settings.

Why is the liner traveling to the left or right on the peel edge?

Having the liner tensioned correctly during the indexing stage is a very important part of a successful process. The Tension Pinch Rollers (see # 45, Figure 4) and the Supply Reel tension adjustment (see # 4, Figure 4) are two ways of controlling the tension. Another cause could be a misaligned supply reel.

How are the different placement options activated in the X Axis?

Ensure the X Options parameter is set to either 0 or 2 (§ 2.3.2). Then use Inputs 3 and 4 of TS1 on the Interface Board to select the appropriate parameters, but note the selection is not “seen” for a whole cycle by the 1515/3065 or any machine model.

Why, when an Option 1 is connected, is the 3065 slow to respond to a Cycle Start signal?

This is not strictly a 3065 question. There may be a mismatch in the signal requirements expected by the 3065 and Option 1.

For factory default operation:

  1. The 3065 should have been set to Run Mode 5 (rev 6.50) or Peel Back 2 (earlier revisions). Check the Rxx (or pre-6.50 software: PB2) code on the Run Screen, and set it accordingly.
  2. If R05 (Peel Back 2) is set, check the inverted polarity jumper on the main controller board. This must always be on for operation with either Option 1 or Option 2 machines.
  3. The 3065 may not be ready to operate. Make sure no error has occurred during component indexing.

For operation other than default (not recommended by AccuPlace for safety reasons)

  1. The 3065 should be set to either Run Mode 0 or 4  (rev 6.50)  or  Peel  Back 0 or 1(earlier revisions). Check the Rxx (or pre-6.50 software: PB0 or PB1) code on the Run Screen, and set it accordingly.
  2. If the expected Run Mode is set, check the inverted polarity jumper on the main controller board. This must always be on for operation with either Option 1 or Option 2 machines.
  3. The 3065 may not be ready to operate. Make sure no error has occurred during component indexing.

Why does the placement cylinder drop after the peel edge has moved back out of the way?

The liner drive peel travel may be too long, so there may be a delay before “making” the sensor on peeling back. It is only on seeing this sensor input that the placement down signal is turned off. On newer software revisions it is possible to peel without retracting the placement cylinder. If Run Mode Five (RM05) is used, then 'Place Options' must have value '8' for the cylinder to retract after the first start signal.

Why is the X Axis component sensor not getting power?

The 2nd Axis Controller Board may not be getting 24 Volts. Check the 24V LED on the X-Axis board and change the fuse. If the fuse blows again, there may be an electrical short. Please contact AccuPlace (see § 7.5 for contact information).

My Option 2 does not start the 3065. Why?

The 3065 probably had an error without being noticed. Make sure the 3065 LCD displays READY before trying to operate the Option 2.

I am watching the Diagnostics in my Option 1/Option 2 but my 3065/1515 will not sequence automatically even if the 3065/1515 is ready. Why?

The diagnostics mode of the Option 1/ Option 2 does not run the system automatically. The run screens of the option machines must be displayed before automatic operation commences/continues.

When testing my Option 1/Option 2 and 3065/1515 in Diagnostics modes, and step through the signal protocol, the Option machines act as though a 3065 error has occurred. Why?

When stepping through diagnostics protocols with an Option 1 or Option 2 connected, remember that both option machines treat a Ready signal high/ Clear signal low condition as an error on the 3065/1515. When changing from the Ready High/Clear High condition, make sure that the Ready is turned off first, before turning off the Clear signal. This prevents the option machines from “seeing” an error that is not really there. Also, do not wait too long to change states. The Option 1 or 2 machines will time out on the expected changes, treating the delay as an error.
