Neoden YY1 PnP machine: Unable to detect SOIC part

[mj97]

Dear all,

I recently bought a Neoden YY1 PnP machine for my work place. I am try to test the placement of the ICs on my board. I am using the bulk feeder area for SOIC-8 package component, and when I program the feeder, the camera is not able to recognize the component properly. I have attached an image for reference. I tried adjusting the camera thresold, but no luck.

Has anyone faced this problem? Could you please suggest me what I can do to make it work? I know there were some issues with bigger ICs but it was strange to see that the camera could not recognize even SOIC-8. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
MJ

Its more designed to work with loose passives, since it can't read orientation. You can maybe tweak the light brighter and the threshold higher, but you can see it detects "10" parts because it thinks each leg is a different component. It's a very low tech vision system, just works off contrast

If you're getting these parts loose, rather than in cut tape, my suggestion is push them in a corner of the trays to index them in the same location and orientation, and have the nozzle pick them up normally from the same coordinates each time.

Definitely more fiddly of a setup, but try to get future ICs in tape so that you can just use the cut tape holders. In fact, if you happen to have empty tape of the same package size, you can load the parts back in the tape (or if you have access to a 3d printer, make a new tray with smaller pockets that can only fit one part)
