ABSTRACT:
An automated setup verification system provides a means and method for rapidly and accurately verifying that the component feeder magazines on a surface mount technology placement machine are correctly installed for manufacturing a selected printing wiring assembly. The system prevents manufacture until machine setup is verified correct, thus preventing manufacture of a large number of defective assemblies when there has been erroneous placement of component feeder magazines. The system comprises a local area controller which contains design and machine information, a programmable logic controller, a bar code scanning and proximity detection system, a test station for testing a sample component from a component feeder magazine, and a structural bridging and spanning assembly for adapting the invention to an existing surface mount technology placement machine. An operator associates a component to a component reel and a component feeder magazine in the local area controller using a bar code system. The loaded component feeder magazines installed on a placement machine are scanned to verify their positions are correct. Any incorrectly positioned component feeder magazines are indicated to the operator for repositioning prior to manufacturing information being downloading to the surface mount technology placement machine.
