Designing the Oil Pattern
To Design an Oil Pattern, start with the first load screen,
which is indicated by the number located in the upper
left corner of the screen. Choose the Board Numbers
that you want the oil stream to go ‘from’ and ‘to’. For
example, most patterns start with 2 to 2 (which is from
the 2-board on the left to the 2-board on the right).
Press on the desired value to activate, then press the
(+) or ( –) located on the bottom of the screen, until
you arrive at the new value that you wish to use.
Next, choose how many times you want to repeat
the oil stream. We refer to an oil stream as a “load”,
so enter the number of LOADS F1 will have.
Once the LOADS are set, choose how fast the
machine will travel while applying the loads. Have
the machine start out USING slower speeds and
gradually increase through the 6 available
conditioning speeds. The ability to change speeds
while applying these loads is a patented feature of
Kegel lane machines.
Start Distances and End Distances are not adjustable.
These distances are automatically calculated based on
# of loads and Speed IPS.
The first LINE that does not have any LOADS will be the
first BUFF LINE. This is also the first LINE that will allow you
to change the END DISTANCE.
You can have more than one BUFF LINE in the pattern,
which normally will be at different speeds. Just choose
the distance & speed for each BUFF LINE, with the OIL
DISTANCE being your upper limit.
Once you have created a LINE with ‘0’ zero LOADS and started your BUFF LINES you
cannot create the next LINE with LOADS. The present program will not allow you to
skip between buff out and oil loads.
