Use the part piston jog switch on the left inside
wall of the breakout chamber to:
`
Raise the part cake during breakout
`
Home (lower) the part piston after breakout
(optional/recommended)
Before you can move the part piston:
✓
The BOS must be powered on.
✓
The RCM must be properly docked in the
BOS.
✓
The BOS’s RCM cable must be plugged into
the RCM.
✓
The BOS’s RCM seal must be down.
Push up and hold the jog switch to raise the
piston; pull down and hold to lower the piston.
The piston moves gradually until you release the
switch or move it to the middle (Stop) position.
The jog switch returns to the Stop position when
you release it
.
L
When the part piston reaches its upper or lower
limit, its up or down motion stops automatically
to prolong the life of the piston motor, even if
the switch is not in the Stop position.
After breakout, before you remove the RCM from
the BOS, use the part piston jog switch to home
the part piston; i.e., lower it to its lowest position.
Lowering the part piston has the following
benefits:
`
Makes it easier to clean the RCM before the
next build.
`
Reduces delay at the start of a build because
you don’t have to wait very long for the part
piston to home before you can move it to
Start position.
