• “Z” adjusts the height of the suction (downward is positive);

• “PartR” is the R-axis angle when taking the component; (this is mainly for some special components, it usually needs to

• be sucked by a square nozzle, but it is not necessarily the same with each nozzle after installing this nozzle The device

• is aligned, so you need to turn a certain angle to pick up the components)

• “Delay” feeder delay time;

• “Skip” skips the current feeder.

• 6-2、Belted feeder mounting components and access to suction locations
