Fiber Protection Technology
MicroFlow TOUCH has a unique protection
technology securing that there is no damage to
the fiber cable. The protection technology
stops the machine if the fiber cable meets an
obstacle.
The stop occurs because the cable gets bent
inside the fiber blowing machine as the fiber
cable meets an obstacle. This is registered by a
sensor, and the motor stops immediately.
The machine will also stop automatically if the
motor exceeds the preset maximum torque
level (see section about Torque Off-Set for the
minimum effect needed depending on the
speed).
In both cases of protection the machine stops
immediately so the
fiber cable does not get
damaged.
Fault Sequence
When the protection technology is activated, the machine starts the following fault sequence:
The motor stops immediately.
Short break.
The machine pulls the fiber slightly backwards until the fiber is straight in the blowing junction
block.
The motor starts and accelerates to the preset maximum speed.
If the protection technology is activated 3 times, the machine will come to a full stop, and an
error message is shown in the display.
