PREPROCESS PROGRAMMING
A preprocess is a process done to the wire before it is cut and stripped. Typically they are wire
marking or pre slitting. Preprocesses are stored separately under unique names and automatically
applied to the wire as part of the
Part Program
.
To open the Preprocess window click on the wire image at #24 at either end of the wire. Click on
New
then enter a unique name for the preprocess in the window
SLITTING (SLITTER)
This device allows the user to slit axially a wire according to pre- programmed lengths. This data is
saved and stored when the program is saved. This allows single and multiple slit locations along the
wire.

The slitter should first be set-up with the proper roller and blade to run the selected wire The Slitter is
mounted on the face plate approximately 12 In. from the cutting blades. The exact distance will
change depending on the type of cutterhead installed on the
CS 327.
This Distance value is entered
in the Preprocess configuration
window but can be adjusted here.
