7.1 Tube Filler
The tube usually must be oriented after the code has been read when operating a
tube filler. The COSI 221 disposes of a signal that switches the motor for turning the
tube off at exactly the right time.
For this, you have to select the parameter "Print mark" in the "Code Type" field in the
"Setup –
Setup 1
" menu. This selection allows you to define the desired type of
orientation.
Then call up the "Setup –
Setup 2
" menu and select one of the "Orientation
Parameters": "by Length", "by Bars" or "by Time". The following ranges are
predefined:
The GOOD signal begins 6 mm after the last code bar.
The orientation types
by Time
and
by Length
cause the motor of the turning station
to stop when the time in ms or the distance in mm set under "Orientation parameter"
is reached.
The orientation type
by Bars
means that the tube is oriented by a code bar. The
turning station has to be able to turn the tube by almost another whole revolution after
the code has been read. This is the most accurate type of orientation. In this case,
the number of the bar by which the tube is to be oriented must be entered under
"Orientation parameter".
If the tube cannot be turned any further although orientation has not been completed,
this tube is regarded as FAULT. Filling is suppressed and the tube is ejected.
