Procedure
To calculate the Orientation threshold:
1
At each stacker, determine the highest reading for the notch and lowest reading for
the corner as follows:
a
In BenchCel Diagnostics, click the
Controls
tab. In the graphical display area
click
Stacker 1
, and then click
Move to sensors
.
b
On the
Jog/Teach
tab in the
Stacker Sensors
area, select stack 1 from the list.
c
In the
Notch Sensors
area, find the highest reading for the notch and lowest
reading for the corner, and then record these readings. (In the example below,
the highest notch reading is 7, and the lowest corner reading is 62.)
d
to
for the remaining stacks.
2
Find the highest notch reading (Notch
highest
) among all the stacks. In the following
example, the highest reading is 35 (stack 3).
3
Find the lowest corner reading (Corner
lowest
) among all the stacks. In the following
example, the lowest reading is 235 (stack 4).
