With the ability to change the oil pump volume output on each load screen, also comes
some mechanical limitations. While the lane machine is in motion, and going from one
pump setting (µL per board volume output) to a different pump setting, it will require the oil
pump motor to change speeds.
The limits of the pump motor are 2.5µL (+/-) per board
starting from board 5 on left the left and board 5 on the
right. We say the 5 board, because the oil program will
recognize the change in the volume per board, but will
take a moment to adjust to the change of speed in the oil
pump. The change of speed occurs when the target
screw on the oil head passes in front of the proximity
sensor either going left to right or right to left, pending
on the oil pattern requirements.
Therefore we have set some guidelines in the chart on
right to show how many boards it will require for the oil
pump to change speeds and settle in to dispense the
correct amount of conditioner.
For instance; if your 2-2 load screen is set at a 50µl pump
setting, your upper limit would be 52µl or lower limit
would be 48µl if the next screen is a 5-5 load. If your next
load after your 2-2 load is an 8-8 load, you can adjust the
pump setting up to 60uL or down to 40µl and still be
confident your volume output is correct.
The X’s in the chart are because the oil pump motor will not be settled in time to dispense a
correct amount of conditioner when going from a 2-2 to a 3-3 or a 4-4.
