NXT Troubleshooting
1. Training designation
"Strategies for problem-solving at the NXT" – Error search & Troubleshooting
2. Training goals
The participants learn about:
• set-up and features of the machine
• software tools and their operation
• monitoring the state and response of sensors
• saving the correct log data
• error detection and prevention of machine down-time
• creating a data backup
• taking preventive measures to avoid machine down-time
• restoring machine condition /availability after data loss
• Strategies for failure analysis and their application
• Identification of external process influences and initiation of countermeasures

3. Target group
The target group are employees of maintenance and troubleshooting teams, as well as
process supervisors.
They are specialists (skilled workers, masters, technicians) who have been working in the
SMD manufacturing sector for several years and are familiar with the production process
and manufacturing machines in general.
The group is responsible:
• to maintain or repair the line equipment
• to train and supervise the operators
• to ensure the line availability and full running condition
• to improve the production process continuously
• to order spare parts, consumables and maintenance material
