Installing the Proper Tips |
This topic describes how to identify the appropriate probe tip for your application. Different-sized devices may require a different-sized probe tip. For the most-reliable performance, use "Quad Tips" with the largest nozzle/rubber cup outer diameter (O.D.) possible for the target device, as this creates optimal vacuum suction and ‘blow-off’ when picking and placing devices. The Probe mounts directly to the pick-and-place (PnP) head.
The following illustration shows the basic components of a probe assembly on a PSV2800 PnP head.
Select the largest Nozzle/Rubber Cup for your device, based on outer diameter. The nozzle is the part that physically contacts the device package.
The following table lists the available nozzles along with their corresponding part numbers.
Tip Outer Diameter (mm) | Part Number | Nozzle |
---|---|---|
1.5 | 646-0198-001 | Vacuum, Cup, 1.5mm OD, PSV |
3.0 | 288-0052-001 | Vacuum, Cup, 3.0mm OD, PSV |
6.3 | 288-0051-001 | Vacuum, Cup, 6.3mm OD, PSV |
11.0 | 288-0050-001 | Vacuum, Cup, 11.0mm OD, PSV |

Nozzles/Rubber cups are consumable parts, which deteriorate over time/from usage. Replace a nozzle if it has cracks or is unable to hold vacuum suction pressure. |
