  1. Select the Calculate All Angles button

  2. Select the first part in the list and visually confirm that the correct shape has been chosen and the rotation is suitable (when comparing the overlay to the CAD shape) and either confirm it or correct it.

  3. Advance through the list until all package types are confirmed.

Check and validate machine placement angles

Use the Machine Angle Correction Center options to check and validate correct all machine placement angles automatically or on a part-by-part basis. The Angle Resolution options are used with certain advanced machine types to validate or correct machine placement angles (theta) specific to that machine type:

  • Blue indicates unconfirmed angles

  • Green indicates confirmed angles

  • Red indicates parts with angle errors.

Info

Important

You must confirm all angles (they must all be Green). When you select Generate Program to create a machine program, any unconfirmed angles will be auto-calculated by FactoryLogix and those calculated angles are published to the machine program.

  1. To check and validate machine placement angles on a part-by-part basis, select a part under Part Number in the Machine Angle Correction Center.

  2. Step through each part number in the Part Number list (use the Previous and Next buttons) and confirm the rotations or adjust the angles and then confirm the angles.

  3. Make any necessary changes, then select the Confirm image-20240829-184220.png button for each part number.

  4. Use these buttons to help you confirm machine placement angle settings for a selected part in the Part Number list:

Note

The Apply angle change to affected features image-20240829-184352.png button (next to the Machine Angle field) references the Features Affected drop-down. When you change a machine placement angle for a selected part, you can use the drop-down to apply the angle change for all features (Select All check box) of the part or just those features whose check boxes are selected.
