INDEX #: This number is the number of downward movements of the top shaft is
required to complete the program and the part. Once the control has counted this number
of movements you will be instructed to release the foot pedal. This number is also a trial
and error number that must be set by trying a part to determine the required movements
of the top shaft to finish the part.
NOTE: This number may need to be adjusted if you
set the program without running material for purposes of setup.
The
ARROW KEYS are used to navigate between each setting and the CLR
button clears the existing numbers. Using the numbers on the pad enter the required
setting and then press
ENTER. NOTE: If ENTER is not pressed after each change the
number will not be accepted.
HOME: This button returns the top shaft to a preset home position no matter what mode
or position the top shaft is in.
LEARN HOME: This button teaches the control the home position. Extra care must
be taken when entering the values in this area, as severe damage will occur to the
machine as over travel may occur if too large a value is entered.
To program the
home position press the LEARN HOME button on the keypad. Doing this will take you
into a different screen, there will be three different settings that can be changed on this
screen and they are explained as follows:
RISE TIME: This value is the time that the control allows for the top shaft to rise after
the program is finished or the HOME button is pushed.
WAIT TIME: This value is the wait time allowed after the top shaft reaches the top of
stroke. This value is important as some different roll profiles may take more time than
others to remove the part from the rolls.
DOWN TIME: This value is the time allowed for the top shaft to return to its home
position. Careful attention must be made when entering this value as damage to the
machine will occur if too long a value is place here. You should never have a value
much longer that 3 seconds.
To program a new home position press LEARN HOME and then use the arrow buttons
to move between the settings. Use the CLR button to clear each value and enter the new
value. Remember to press ENTER after each change. Once you have made all the
necessary changes you must press LEARN HOME to finish the teach function. You
will now be back at the program screen and ready to run parts. To test your new home
position press the
HOME button.
REMEMBER THE EMERGENCY BUTTON SHUTS DOWN ALL THE
FUNCTIONS ON THE MACHINE. IF YOU SENSE THAT SOMETHING IS
NOT RIGHT PRESS THE RED EMERGENCY LOCATED ON THE PANEL
ABOVE THE KEYPAD.
