17 Glossary
ABCD Box: Connects the computer to the upstream
and downstream Free-Standing Loaders (FSL’s). It is
used when programming the FSL’s.
ACL: Automove Control Language.
ANAFAZE CLS Controller: Compact Loop System
that controls the dispensing area heaters, needle
heaters, and the fluid cooling system.
ANASOFT: Software program that runs the
ANAFAZE CLS Controller.
Area-Fill: Dispensing lines of fluid within a geometric
pattern to completely cover an area.
Auerboat: A metal material handling plate used to
transport parts into automated systems.
Automatic Fiducial Locating System: A vision
system that finds fiducials and compensates for small
changes on a workpiece during dispensing.
Automove Control Language (ACL): An Asymtek
proprietary motion control language consisting of
commands that control all components of the
dispensing systems.
Axis: X, Y or Z geometric dispensing coordinates.
See Figure 15-1.
Figure 15-1 XYZ Axes
Back EMF: Electromotive Force – electrical current
continually sent back to controller for consistent fluid
flow.
Beacon: Optional. A status indicator attached to the top
of a dispensing system. Colored lights indicate system
status.
CAD: Stands for Computer Aided Design.
Camera Offset: The calibration of the XYZ location of
the camera with the dispensing needle.
Chip Offset: The distance between the edge of a chip
and the start of the dispense. This distance is
calculated as 1/2 the needle diameter plus 5 mil.
Circuit Breaker: An automatic switch that cuts the
electrical supply to the system when the power exceeds
the set level.
Conveyor Atom: A set of ACL commands that
controls the conveyor.
Crosshairs: Two lines intersecting at a 90 angle in
the center of the video display on the computer
monitor. Used to align dispensing points.
Dispense Head: The dispense head is what moves
during dispensing operation. The valve, height sensor
and similar options attach to the dispense head.
Dispense Zone: The part of the dispensing area where
dispensing is actually performed.
Dispenser Control Panel: The front control panel on
most dispensing systems; has buttons for controlling
movement of the dispensing head.
Dispensing Fluid Reservoir: The reservoir containing
the dispensing fluid. It can be a syringe or cartridge.
Dispensing Runs (Wet/Dry): A wet dispensing run is
when fluid is dispensed. A dry run is when the
program is executed but no fluid is dispensed.
Download Memory: Information downloaded from
the computer to the dispensing system.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): The sudden transfer of
static electricity from one object to another.
Emergency Shutdown: Dispensing machine is
stopped suddenly before ending program or without
using Pause Button.
EMF: Electromotive Force.
EMO: Emergency Machine OFF button, sometimes
called E-Stop. A large red button that cuts power to the
dispensing system only. Does not turn off power to the
Power Manager. Heaters are usually turned off, but
can remain hot for some time. Part of Safety Interlock
System. After the EMO button is pressed, to reset it
you must rotate the button clockwise until it pops out.
Encap Module: Controls safety thermocouples,
temperature sensors and safety interlocks for all heating
systems used by the M-ENCAP machine.
End of Shift: When the Operator ends dispensing for
the day and turns off the dispensing machine.
European CE Standard: A set of standards adopted
by the European Common Market for: safety, power,
etc.
Fiducial: A distinct shape or object on the workpiece.
The vision system uses these objects for location
reference.
Flip Chip Underfill: Dispensing lines of fluid around
the perimeter of a flip-chip so that the fluid flows
underneath the chip.
Flip Chip: A die with solder bumps, placed die circuit
side-down on a PCB.
