Confirm the contents of lower-foam-tray

Confirm the lower-foam-tray matches the image shown below before continuing:

Package upper-foam-tray

The following steps must be conducted by someone other than the original assembler.

  • Begin by laying out empty upper-foam-tray pieces

Packaging misc. parts

  • Insert the following items into the right-side cavity of upper-foam-tray

    Package each of the following items while inspecting them for their given QC inspection criteria

    • front-drag-chain-mount - confirm 2x M5-hex-nut installed into print

    The Opulo logo should face away from the feeder-rail pocket

  4. Insert a foam block above each side of primary-staging-plate

  5. Insert aux-staging-plate on top of primary-staging-plate

    The Opulo logo should face away from the feeder-rail pocket

Packaging front/rear-feeder-rail

It is much easier to check the entire batch at once for a given inspection, rather than checking each one rail at a time against this entire checklist

  1. Perform QC inspection on the front of front-feeder-rail and rear-feeder-rail pieces

    • Front-feeder-rail:
      • Slot #1 - #Slot 25 are installed sequentially from left to right when examined visually
      • Slot #1 - #Slot 25 are installed sequentially from left to right when checked with a slot-programmer-jig that is set to read mode
      • The 2x installed corner-bracket pieces each have a spare M5x8-bolt and M5-t-nut installed into the unused holes
        • Total 2x M5x8-bolt and M5-t-nut
      • Wiggle all of the installed slots to ensure none are loose, retightening any if needed
    • Rear-feeder-rail:

      • Slot #26 - #Slot 50 are installed sequentially from left to right when examined visually
      • Slot #26 - #Slot 50 are installed sequentially from left to right when checked with a slot-programmer-jig that is set to read mode
      • Wiggle all of the installed slots to ensure none are loose, retightening any if needed

  2. Perform QC inspection on the back of front-feeder-rail and rear-feeder-rail pieces:

    • Front-feeder-rail:
      • Confirm the slit in every 2x3-idc-connector faces towards the left of each feeder-slot
      • The 2x installed corner-bracket pieces are flush to the 2020-alu-extrusion
    • Rear-feeder-rail:
      • Confirm the slit in every 2x3-idc-connector faces towards the left of each feeder-slot
      • The 4x installed corner-bracket pieces are flush to the 2020-alu-extrusion

    If all checks pass, continue onward

  3. Place the finished feeder rails into the upper-foam-tray

    1. Orient the rails back-side upward, with rear-feeder-rail in the lower pocket and slot #50 on the right

Packaging drag-chain

  1. Perform drag-chain QC

    • Inspect the drag-chain for missing or loose drag-chain-cover pieces
    • Confirm each drag-chain-end-link has been reworked with the drill jig
    • Inspect the x-gantry side of drag-chain to confirm the following cables are present and installed in the correct direction:

      A quick way to tell which side of the drag-chain is the x-gantry side: it is the side where the cables are shorter exiting the drag-chain

      • LM cable: 6-pin connector with LM label
      • RM cable: 6-pin connector with RM label
      • ZM cable: 6-pin connector with NO label
      • ZL cable: 3-pin connector with NO label
      • DL cable: 3-pin connector with NO label, exits drag-chain between end-link and final cover
      • USB cable: 4-pin connector with NO label, exits drag-chain between end-link and final cover
    • Confirm the following vacuum tubes are present and labeled correctly at both ends:

      • Red 4mm-pneumatic-tubing with LH label
      • Blue 4mm-pneumatic-tubing with RH label
    • Confirm zip-tie's are trimmed flush and present in the following locations:
      • 2x on x-cable-chain-bracket where XM cable leaves the drag-chain
        • While here, confirm that XM cable exits drag-chain in place of the 12th drag-chain-cover
      • 2x connecting x-motor-cable-guide to end of XM cable
        • While here, confirm the end of XM cable features a 6-pin connector with NO label
      • 3x evenly spaced between drag-chain and umbilical-cable-strain-relief
      • 2x on umbilical-cable-strain-relief

    If all checks pass, continue onward

  2. Install a 2" x 9" bag over both sides of drag-chain

    1. Confirm no vacuum tubes are pinched closed by the bagging process
  3. Place the drag-chain into the upper-foam-tray

Confirm the contents of upper-foam-tray

  1. Confirm the upper-foam-tray matches the image shown below

  2. Tuck the box-sn-label into the accessory prints pocket after confirming the contents of upper-foam-tray

Package LumenPnP Box

Perform this process 1 machine at a time

It's OK for this work to be performed by the original machine assembler

  1. Gather the following items:
    • Empty LumenPnP box
    • Packaged and QC'd upper-foam-tray
    • Packaged and QC'd lower-foam-tray
    • All relevant shipping paperwork, including packing slip, shipping label, and any international forms
  2. Adhere shipping documents to box

    • Adhere all relevant shipping documentation to the top left side of the LumenPnP box flap
    • Set the packing slip aside if it lists product pricing information, otherwise it can be adhered below the shipping label
  3. Remove the box-sn-label from the upper-foam-tray and adhere it to the LumenPnP box in the region shown below

    It is critical that this label matches the serial number listed on the underside of the primary-staging-plate

  4. Examine the packing slip and take note of what (if any) additional items must be packaged

  5. Open the OQC Checklist

    • Fill out this checklist as you package the LumenPnP

  6. Complete the first page of the OQC Checklist page

  7. Examine the contents of the lower-foam-tray and complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  8. Place the packaged lower-foam-tray into the LumenPnP packaging

    • Orient the tray so that the packaged x-gantry is closer to the Opulo logo side of the box

  9. Examine the contents of the upper-foam-tray and complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  10. Place the packaged upper-foam-tray into the LumenPnP packaging

    • Orient the tray so that the staging plates are closer to the Opulo logo side of the box

  11. Complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  12. Reference the order's packing list to determine if the box must include any additional items

    • If the order includes additional items, select Yes to this page's last question before proceeding
    • If the order does not include additional items, select No to this page's last question before proceeding
  13. If you answered Yes to the previous question you will be directed to the Extra Items Checklist page

    • Package any additional items required into the open void regions of the LumenPnP's packaging
    • If the order includes feeders or items suitable for a feeder-accessory-tray package them above the upper-foam-tray like so:

    • After adding any additional items to the order, check-off any additional items this order contains before proceeding

  14. Proceed to the Finalize Shipment page of the OQC Checklist and work your way through alongside following these last 6 steps

  15. Install a top-foam-sheet above the upper-foam-tray

    Is this LumenPnP being shipped with feeders?

    Use feeder trays and a top-cardboard-pad instead of a top-foam-sheet if the LumenPnP order includes either feeders and/or items that use a feeder-accessory-tray.

  16. Fill out a getting-started-card with the machine's version number

  17. Use double-sided tape to attached the getting-started-card to the top-foam sheet

    • Orient the card so that it's bottom edge faces toward the Opulo logo side of the box

    If the packing slip had pricing info listed on it, please tape it next to the getting-started-card at this time

  18. Tape the LumenPnP box shut

  19. Adhere an orange sticker to the top-right corner of the box.

  20. Click Submit on the final page of OQC Checklist page

The LumenPnP should now be ready for fulfillment!
