6.5. DETERMINING FACTORY CONVEYOR PARAMETERS
The functions that are used for determining conveyor parameters are not available to operator ‑type
users.
Tools required:
‑ any two objects,
‑ a photodetector,
‑ an encoder; to measure the encoder constant only.
The following conveyor data needs obtaining to set printing parameters correctly:
– Conveyor belt travel speed
or
– Encoder constant, that is the number of pulses generated by the encoder per unit length (1 meter).
Printing parameters are settable by pressing .
Conveyor belt travel speed
If the conveyor belt moves at a stable speed, no encoder needs using. In such a case:
– Printing is timed by an internal generator
(the parameter of a project open for printing/being printed: | | Impulse generator
source = Internal generator ),
– The printing speed setting ( | | Conveyor speed [m/min]) must equal
the conveyor belt travel speed you have measured.
The procedure for measuring the conveyor belt travel speed requires that the printer be provided with
a photodetector.
To measure the conveyor belt travel speed it is required that two objects put on the conveyor at a dis -
tance of 1 meter (between the objects' leading edges) move one after another in front of the photode -
tector selected as the source of the trigger signal (the parameter of a project open for printing/being
printed: |
| Trigger source ) when:
– The built‑in measuring tool is active,
– The conveyor belt is traveling at a constant 'cruising' speed.
