Max Velocity - The maximum velocity the belts can travel when positioning a board. The
default value is 70.
Stop to Laser 1 - This should be set to the distance from the stops (socket head screws)
to the laser line representing the saw furthest in on the saw arbor. Increasing this value
will cause the belts to move the board farther when positioning the board under the lasers.
After adjusting this value, be sure to reposition the lasers using the Laser Setup item from
the main menu.
Stops to Saw 1 - This should be set to the distance from the 2nd stops (socket head
screws) to the saw furthest in on the saw arbor. Increasing this value will cause the belts to
move the board farther when positioning the board in front of the saw. This value should be
fine tuned so that the boards are actually cut where the lasers say they will be cut.
Chain (or Infeed Arm) Drop Delay - This value determines how long the machine waits
from the time the chains drop to place a board on the belts to the time the belts begin to
move. In general, this value should be set to .3.
Chain (or Infeed Arm) Up Delay - This value determines how long the chains stay down
after placing a board on the belts before they come up again. In general, this value should
be set to 1.
First Stops Delay (for Automated Opti-Rip Only) - This value determines how long
the first stops (that separate one board from the inventory of boards) stay down when
separating boards. If this value is set too high, multiple boards may be released before the
stops return to their up positions. This value should be used in conjunction with the flow
control valve located on the valve in the control box that operates the stops. In general,
this value should be set to .3.
Pinch Delay - This value determines how long the machine delays from the time when the
pinch rollers are first activated to the time when the belts begin to move again. If this value
is set too low, the belts will start to move before the board is lifted completely off the belts,
causing the board to be dragged out of position by the belts. In general, this value should
be set to .5.
Feed Delay - This value determines how long the pinch roller feed motor runs to feed the
board into the saw. This value should be set just high enough so that the board feeds far
enough into the saw so that the saw feed system picks it up and continues to feed it. If this
value is set too high, the roller feed motor will keep feeding even after the board enters the
saw, causing the two drive systems to fight each other, possibly burning out the feed motor.
