Placement nozzle: Largest available on the machine
n
Nozzle pick surface: Center of shield
n
Placement speed: Slowest speed for the machine
n
Placement alignment: 10% of pad diameter (compensating for module weight and supporting
n
alignment). The module should be placed last as part of the assembly/mounting process to
eliminate unexpected shifting.
