5.3 Optimizing the positioning behaviour
After the Teach process, the positioning behaviour is
automatically optimized during the first 10 to 20 strokes
by internal adaption. If the quality of the positioning
behaviour still does not fulfil expectations, proceed as
follows:
•
Check the DIL switch settings (see Appendix A).
•
Check whether the pneumatic installation fulfils the
demands listed in section 3.2. Make sure especially
that the supply pressure is stable and that the tubing
is of the correct length and diameter and that the
correct screw connectors are used.
If, however, the slide still moves into the end positions
with too hard an impact, or brakes too heavily before
reaching the end positions, you can optimize the
positioning behaviour by increasing or reducing the
cushioning level and/or the amplification level. You can
set the cushioning/amplification levels with the following
DIL switches.
Switch elements Control parameter
stage Number of
stages
Amplification stages 4 (0...3)
Cushioning stages 16 (0...15)
