Hi,
I've been using a VP-2500HP for over a year now. One of the most consistent problems has been with the triode vision and placement. I have tried everything, with the 4/10 precision settings, triode and footedge 2, and all different acquisition times. It seems to be a software problem of some sort. I'm was using the previous version, and now use the most recent version of the software.

The triode will get picked, go to the camera and either:

Readjust over and over when none is needed
Move back and forth too far over the center and not get it
Reach the perfect orientation and still drop it.
Fail the first time, go for the second one and immediately place it correctly

It's making the machine barely usable as I can never leave it running without consistently having it retry, and its throwing hundreds of dollars of parts.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Videos show some of the issues.

Those are about the settings I am using, tried bumping collection time up to 500ms too.

The machine number is VP-2500HP

Was also having this issue on the old firmware

This problem with SOT23 case has been around for a long time and is stable.
Somehow it helps to put the FootEdge2 alignment algorithm. In this case, about 10 percent of such components are discarded, but two successively are almost never discarded.
What problems to align three points within the attached rectangle is completely incomprehensible.

VP2800HP machine.

Its a 2016 machine, and I'm using the v2.073. The A-Axis is at 17.7777. General model works slightly better but the same issues occur. Also, I am using Samsung CN065, and it occurs even on slow speed settings

I have a VP-2500HP machine and am using SW V2.073. I occasionally get issues with SOT23 parts but not very often so certainly wouldn't say that triodes are a major issue for me.
Here are the settings I am using for SOT23 parts:
Visual Height: 5
Visual Width: 5
Pick Delay: 100
Alignment: XYA
Vision Model: 02:Triode
Contrast: 200
Brightness: 220
Collect Time: 250ms
Nozzle: CN065
Vacuum T: 80 -kPa

One issue I had with SOT23 in the past was that they can jump out of the tape or flip upside down if fed too fast. So I set the feed time to 200ms. This seemed to cure that issue.
Hope this is helpful.
