VACUUM PICK ADJUSTMENT
Proper vacuum must be maintained to lift and hold the component during a removal
operation. The Vacuum Pick Assembly within the DTP-80 handpiece adjusts
quickly and easily to provide an optimum setting where the vacuum cup makes
contact with the component body as the tip makes contact with the component leads.
To adjust the Vacuum Pick Assembly, perform the following procedure:
1. Ensure that the proper tip and vacuum cup are installed on the DTP-80.
2. Using the Tip & Vacuum Cup Tool,
grasp the Vacuum Pick as shown in
the illustration.
3. Adjust the Vacuum Pick position to a
point where the end of the Vacuum
Cup is flush (even) with the bottom
edges of the tip.
IMPORTANT -
The Vacuum Pick is now in a proper position for initial operation.
During the first component removal operation, the vacuum cup will contact the
component body as the tip is lowered over the component. As the tip moves down
to contact the component leads, the vacuum pick slides into position. Readjustment
will not be required until the component removal application changes (e.g., different
component, tip, vacuum cup).
