Page 4 Introduction Contents Introduction ..........ii Theory of Operation .
Page 5 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the TM-500 Component Handling Machine. The TM 500 is a multiple input, pick and place, test, inspection and taping machine designed for high mix/low volume pro- duction environments for electronic devices. The flexibility of multiple inputs reduces the need for additional machines, simplifies and speeds set up and operations, thus delivering a fast ROI.
Page 6: Theory Of Operation
When the TM-500 is set in motion, the pick head picks an individual part from the installed input module. The part can then be placed directly into a carrier tape pocket or positioned for 3D inspection or electrical testing prior to placement.
Page 7 Note: The TM-500 is designed and tested to meet the CE Directives: 2006/42/EC, 2004/ 108/EC. These tests were conducted with the power requirements of 230V 50Hz. However, the TM-500 can also handle other voltage levels seen in other parts of the world including voltages from 208V-240V @ 50/60 Hz.
Page 8: Intended Use
Intended Use The intended use of the TM-500 Taping Machine is to produce taped reels of individually sealed and consistently orientated components. Use of this equipment in any other way is not recom- mended. The TM-500 is designed to accommodate a full range of electronic devices. Input options vary with the type of input module installed.
Page 9: Operating Environment
The user is protected from the TM-500’s heat sealer by a metal guard. Operators are cautioned not to touch the heat seal guard or to try to reach underneath the guard while the heat sealer is in operation.
Page 10 Power/Emergency Stop Button. This position allows the oper- ator to view all parts of the TM-500 while it is in operation. When loading or unloading the TM-500 or changing input modules, the operator may also need to access the front and side enclosure doors.
Page 11 The TM-500 should never be operated while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. V-TEK® Incorporated takes no responsibility for the safety of TM-500 if it is used for any purpose other than the intended purpose as specified in this User’s Guide.
Page 12 The switch on the right is pictured in the OFF position. Emergency Stop Switches There are three Emergency Stop Switches on the TM-500. One is located on the front of the machine under the upper enclosure. Two more are located on the back of the machine under the upper enclosure.
Page 13 Open Doors Stop Operation All automated motion stops when an enclosure cabinet door is opened. The only exception to this is the Tape Advance function which allows the user to load and unload the taper. The pick head, nozzle, tape and trays can only be moved manually as long as the doors are open. Once a job has been selected or programmed, it can be started and stopped from the HMI or by pressing the Start and Stop buttons.
Page 14 A blinking red light and a solid amber light indicates the machine is at the end of a job, the leader creation sequence is complete and the TM-500 is ready for the next process. Safety Features...
Page 15 Safety Warning Labels The following warning labels have been placed in various places on the machine to bring safety issues to the attention of operators and technicians working with or near the machine. Attention Indicates an adjustment or danger zone requiring attention. Electrical Hazards Indicates that hazardous voltage levels are present.

Work Space Requirements The TM-500 is an automated pick & place machine which needs to be placed on a flat, stable surface in a well lit area. It requires a minimum work area of 7’ high x 13.5’ wide x 9‘ deep (2.2m x 4.1m x 2.7m) to provide sufficient space for the assembled machine when it is fully loaded with...
Page 24 Arm and Carrier Arm positions to avoid tripping. Power Requirements The TM-500 will also require access to a 85-110 PSI air pressure system and a 230/240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. Locate the machine so electrical power cables can be routed away from areas where personnel are expected to move.
Page 25: Unpacking The Tm-500
TM-500 User’s Guide Unpacking the TM-500 The TM-500 is partially disassembled, then shrink wrapped, placed in a crate for shipping and strapped to the crate floor. The disassembled TM-500 parts, which include the Carrier Tape Arm, the Take-up Assembly, the Monitor Arm, the Taper Tape Guides, the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard and various Input Mod- ule options, are individually bubble-wrapped and packed around the base machine.
