3. Material reason
1. Unqualified products such as dirty and damaged components, irregular incoming materials, and oxidation of pins cause poor recognition.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
2. The component is magnetized, the component packaging is too tight, and the material frame has too much friction on the component, which makes it impossible to absorb it.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
3. The component size or package size, spacing, and direction are not consistent, resulting in poor material picking and poor identification.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material. When incoming materials must check the packaging and body shape of the same P/N material.
4. The component is magnetized and the material tape is too sticky, and the material adheres to the material tape when the tape is rolled.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
5. The absorbable surface of the component is too small, resulting in poor material retrieving.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with suppliers to replace materials and reduce machine speed.
6. The hole diameter of the component containing the component is too large, and the size of the component does not match the size of the package, causing the material to stand on its side, turn over, and the position is incorrect during feeding, resulting in poor material retrieving.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
7. The error between the feed hole and the feed hole of the material belt is large, and the suction position changes after refueling
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
8. The tension of the coiled tape is not uniform. If it is too soft, it will be stretched and will not be coiled;
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
9. The packaging of incoming materials is not standardized, and bulk packaging cannot be mounted by machines.
Solution: Feedback to IQC to communicate with the supplier to replace the material.
 
 
 
4. Working method
1. Wrong different packaging models FEEDER, grooves for paper tapes, flat grooves for tapes, resulting in failure to get materials;
Solution: Train the operator to identify the choice of material packaging and FEEDER.
2. Use the wrong specification FEEDER, 0802FEEDRE for 0603 material, 0804FEEDER for 0402 material, Ø1.3MM material cover for 0603 material,
 
0402 materials use Ø1.0MM material caps, 0805 materials use Ø1.0MM material caps, wrongly adjust the FEEDERPITCH, resulting in failure to get the material;
Solution: Train the operator to identify the size and shape of the material body and the choice of FEEDER material cover.
3. Personnel do not operate according to the standard operation instructions.
Solution: Strictly require standard operations in accordance with the operation instructions, regularly assess operating skills, and manage supervision and assessment.
