Hi Scott
that is because you used blinds=true.
A part can only use the blinds cover, if it is sparsely laid out
in the tape like the small passives, i.e. there must be a gap
between parts that is larger or equal than the parts themselves.
The blinds of the cover only work that way to cover the part when
closed. The blinds openings must also be large enough to lift out
the part, which is clearly not the case here.
You can still do that with the with the QLPF44 of course, but then you need to set it to 32mm pitch which is wasteful.
If you have space on the machine to push off the whole cover (feeder is on the edge), just use blinds=false
As you can see it then aligns the pockets differently.
For a part like this you can also switch off the cover altogether.
But this is not in the TapeDefinition() but in the
BlindsFeeder() call.
trayQLPF44 = TapeDefinition(
tape_width=12,
tape_thickness=1,
pocket_pitch=8,
pocket_width=7.1 + pocket_clearance,
pocket_length=7.1 + pocket_clearance,
tape_play=0.1,
cover_play=0.1,
blinds=false,
sprocket_thorns=0);
// Create the feeder array with these tape definitions.
// Note the BlindsFeeder has a myriad of parameters you can
tweak, the ones used here are just the most important.
// See the Library file to learn more.
BlindsFeeder(
// Tape length from feeder edge to edge, usually multiples
of 4mm.
// Other values are supported if you manually adjust the
edge distance in the OpenPNP feeder.
tape_length=124,
// Number of lanes per tape definition.
arrayed_tape_lanes= [2, ],
// The arrayed tape definitions.
arrayed_tapes= [trayQLPF44,],
// lable_length=20,
cover = false,
debug = false
);
