Error Procedure
Name
Name of the procedure to call if the preset error tolerance is exceeded. Click on
the List button in the property field to select from a list of the procedures in the
currently loaded programs. For example, you can create a procedure in the
macro program with a Set Output instruction that turns on the flashing red light
on the workcell light tower.
Safe Z Approach
Move to the needle finder apparatus at the Safe Z height. Normally True, but a
user might want to set this to False and add a move instruction before this
instruction to save time (in other words, approach with less clearance).
Safe Z Depart
Move to the Safe Z height after the operation. Normally True, but a user might
want to set this to False and add a move instruction after this instruction to save
time (in other words, depart with less clearance).
Tool
Default = Tool displayed in Current Tool Selector when instruction created. Tool
to use for this instruction. Click on List button to select different tool.

Property Description
Approach Height
None. Approach start motion position with tool tip no lower than this height. If
value is set to None or less than the Dispense Height, it is ignored. Use to
avoid collisions with components on board.
Begin X
X-coordinate where dispensing begins.
Begin Y
Y-coordinate where dispensing begins.
Depart Height
Default = None. Depart end motion position with tool tip no lower than this
height. If value is set to None or less than Dispense Height, it is ignored. Use to
avoid collisions with components on board.
Dispense Height
Default = Height determined while running characterization for tool selected for
this instruction. Distance from tool tip to substrate while dispensing. Before
moving to Begin X and Begin Y-coordinates, tool tip is positioned to the greater
of:
 Current Height
 Dispense Height
 Approach Height
Dispense Speed
Default = Automatic. Speed at which robot moves while dispensing. If set to
Automatic, robot uses characterization speed of specified tool. Click on List
button to view characterization speed. If not set to Automatic value entered
specifies the speed of the robot.
