Method Detail

getDiameterLow

Length getDiameterLow()

Returns:

The outside diameter of the NozzleTip at the lowest ca. 0.75mm. Most nozzle tips seem to have a cylindrical (i.e. constant diameter) point of about this height. This diameter is used to calculate pushing and dragging offsets.

isPushAndDragAllowed

boolean isPushAndDragAllowed()

Returns:

If the NozzleTip is allowed to be used for pushing and dragging. Should only be enabled for NozzleTips that are sturdy enough to take the lateral forces.

home

void home()
   throws java.lang.Exception

Perform any homing operation on each nozzle tip. The head and driver have already been homed at this time.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getNozzleWhereLoaded

Nozzle getNozzleWhereLoaded()

Returns:

The Nozzle where this tip is currently loaded, or null.

getMaxPartHeight

Length getMaxPartHeight()

Returns:

The maximum part height to be allowed on this nozzle tip.

getMaxPartDiameter

Length getMaxPartDiameter()

Returns:

The maximum part diameter to be allowed on this nozzle tip.

getMinPartDiameter

Length getMinPartDiameter()

Returns:

The minimum part diameter to be allowed on this nozzle tip.

getMaxPickTolerance

Length getMaxPickTolerance()

Returns:

The maximum pick tolerance on this nozzle tip. This can be overridden in the Package.
