ESTIMATED TIME TO PERFORM PROCEDURE:
30 minutes if no problems found
3 hours if motor is found to be defective
5 + hours if other system problems are found INFORMATION (please fill out)
STEP1(PerformonXaxisfirst,thenrepeatonYaxis)
In this step, you will be running a single axis at reduced speed & acceleration while observing the Max DAC output, which is proportional to the torque. If the torque is too high, this may indicate motor or positioning system problems.
LAUNCH IM DIAGNOSTICS
Run “Quick Start” Select #1 “Set-up BEC”
When macro is done zeroing (quit don’t save) to exit “set-up BEC” screen
Select: DIAGNOSTICS, MANUAL DIAGNOSTICS
On the LEFT side, click the pull down menu of the “SECTION” box. Select “UIMC 1 AXIS INPUTS”
Click the BLUE “MOVE” button & edit the following parameters: Speed from 116 to 10
Acceleration from 2400 to 500
Click the Auto Cycle & Continuous Run check boxes Cycle the axis from 0” to 18” or 0 count to 144,000 count
Observe the “Maximum DAC Output During Move” number for approximately 5 minutes and fill out the STEP 1 CHART below.
If the number ever gets above 340 maximum, the system has too much friction. It could be the motor or other system problems.
If the “Maximum DAC output during move” is less than 340. Stop. No further steps are required for this Axis.
This Axis appears to be functioning correctly.
STEP1CHART
Proceed to STEP 2
STEP 2
In this step you will perform specific PM activities that have a large impact on the amount of torque required to
operate the positioning system.
Grease the lead screw, oil the shafts & re-tension the belt.
Cycle at normal speed and acceleration for ½ hour, check the appropriate box below.
Speed…………116 Acceleration….2400
| Was theleadscrewdry? | YESĀ | NOĀ |
| Was theShaftdry? | YESĀ | NOĀ |
| Was thebeltloose? | YESĀ | NOĀ |
Cycle at the reduced Speed & Acceleration per STEP 1 and fill out the STEP 2 CHART below. If it gets considerably better (Max DAC below 340) you’re done. If not, go on to STEP 3.

STEP 3
In this step you are removing the motor in preparation for Step 4 and making further investigation into possible sources of high positioning system friction.
Remove the motor and move axis by hand.
Feel and listen for binds, hesitations or noises in the lead screw and/or ball bearing/shafts.
Whatwasfound?
Check axial play/gap in the lead screw by grabbing it by hand & pushing in both directions. There should be no perceivable axial play in the leadscrew.

Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to describe how to maintain the “Gold” series motors, PMI type U12M4, and U12M4H (UIC part number 11467000, 13570000, 40051001, and 40051002, sold before November 1995) This procedure should be performed every six months, or more frequently if found to be necessary.
Tools Required:
Allen wrenches
Screw driver (5 to 6 mm wide)
Screw driver, small blade (2,5 to 3 mm wide)
Adjustable wrench
Prerequisite:
Push in the machine’s Emergency Stop button
Turn off the machine’s power
Procedure:
1. Note which wires are attached to which motor terminal. Using an adjustable wrench, remove the wires from the motor’s terminals.
2. Remove the motor from the machine
3. Remove the brushes from the motor
4. The minimum usable length of the carbon part of the brushes is .240 inches ( 6,1 mm) long. If the brushes wear shorter than .240 inches, the motor’s commutator wires can be damaged by electrical arcing.
So that the brushes will not wear to less than .240 inches, we recommend that they be replaced when they become .300 inches long ( 7,62mm). Universal’s part number for a set of four (4) brushes for these motors is B26100021.
5. Check that the motor’s shaft turns smoothly. If not, then the bearings are damaged, and the motor should be discarded.
6. Using clean, dry, compressed air, blow the carbon dust out of the motor.
7. Look through the brush holes and examine the condition of the commutator wires, while turning the motor shaft. If there are any burned or damaged wires, the motor must be discarded.
8. To install the brushes into the motor, place the carbon block in the brush hole.
9. Using a small screwdriver, gently push the spring down into the brush hole. It will be necessary to reposition the blade of the screw driver several times into the coils of the spring, to make the spring go into the hole.
10. It may be necessary to push the metal tab on the side of the brush contact to make it go into the brush hole.
11. After the metal tabs have gone into the hole, use the screw driver to hold the brush contact down in the brush hole.
12. Pull the small screw driver blade out while moving the screw into place. Be sure that the brush contact’s tabs do not come completely out of the brush hole when doing this. Start the screw in the threaded hole by turning it clockwise with your fingers. If it will not turn easily, remove it, and repeat step 11. Then tighten the screw gently using the large screw driver.
13. Install all (4) brushes into the motor. Mount the motor on the machine again. Reattach the wires on to the proper motor terminals.

Printing process parameters (stencil printing)
| Parameter | Setting |
| Print speed | 100mm/s recommended, min 70mm/s, max 120mm/s
Note: Under non-conforming situations caused by technical problems, lower than specified speeds are temporarily accepted. |
| Squeegee pressure for 200mm wide squeegee** in constant force mode (force automatically adjusted, print head floating) | minimum pressure that will wipe stencil surface clean +5N as safety margin, normally between 40 50 N |
| Squeegee adjustment for MPM printers (constant squeegee distance (negative) from PWB surface, force against down stops) | Minimal adjustment that will wipe stencil surface clean +0.5mm as safety margin |
| Snap-off distance | -0.5 – 0.0mm on whole panel area (negative snap-off recommended to give margin against machine misadjustments) |
| Separation speed | Max. 20 mm/sec until stencil has released, then maximum speed. |
| Automatic wipe rate | After every 10 ± 5 prints Note: Under non-conforming situations caused by temporary technical problems more frequent wipe may be applied. |
| Wipe cycle recommendation | 1 dry with vacuum or 1 dam followed by 1 dry for printers without vacuum option |
| Recommended cleaning fluid for printer automatic wiping | Multicore Prozone SC-01 or equivalent high flash point solvent officially accepted by printer manufacturer. Use of isopropanol (IPA) or equivalent solvents is not recommended due to fire safety. |
| Recommended cleaning fluid for cleaning of misprinted boards | Multicore Prozone SC-02 is preferred (SC-02 will attack slightly acrylics and some rubbers used in protective gloves)
Use of isopropanol (IPA) is allowed but not recommended. Waste must be handled properly. Note! Components that are not designed for liquid cleaning process, have to be removed and changed after cleaning. PWB with laser (micro) vias, OSP plating or which are totally or partly Aramid based, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE WASHED! Cleaning solvent traps into PWB structures and reduces esp. CSP components joint reliability. |
| Support table vacuum | OFF while printing, unless dedicated workholder is of such construction that no vacuum is created between PWB and stencil OR vacuum is limited to 100-200mbar. Vacuum ON during loading and table movements (activate special 1043 in AP-25 SW 6.1 or later). |
| Kneading1 | 8 kneads after every 20min or longer pause in printing process and recommended after addition of paste. Otherwise not needed. |
| Solder paste amount on stencil | 150 160 g + paste attached to squeeze (200mm ) |
| Printing accuracy | +/- 0.05 mm |
*) Sometimes referred as ”squeegee pressure” and force given in KGs, 1kg=9.81N
**) Depends linearly on squeegee width
1) Automatic procedure to soften paste and dissolve partly dried paste residues at stencil aperture opening edges instead of stencil manual cleaning. The panel used for kneading can be fed to production line as normally printed board. After pauses beyond 120min careful stencil cleaning in dedicated cleaner is recommended.
