Special Tools Mode
Refer to
Section 3.9.1
for a detailed description.
Refer to
Section 8.2.2
for selecting/exiting Special Tools mode.
•
Have the operator select Special Tools mode from the User menu.
•
Explain the circumstances where Special Tools mode is required.
•
Explain how the slow speed point changes with the detected tool size.
•
Explain the differences between Special Tools mode and normal operation.
•
Show the operator how to determine the approximate slow speed point from the System
Information menu.
9.13
Thermal Compensation Mode
Refer to
Section 3.9.2
for a detailed description.
Refer to
Section
8.2.3
for selecting/exiting Thermal Compensation mode.
•
Have the operator select Thermal Compensation Mode from the User menu.
•
Explain the circumstances where Thermal Compensation mode is used.
•
Explain the differences between Thermal Compensation mode and normal operation.
•
Show the operator how to determine the approximate slow speed point from the System
Information menu.
9.14
Tool Set-up Mode Option
•
Demonstrate how to select Tool Set-up mode via the Sentinel Plus User Interface
Panel. Explain that a tool alignment must be performed before entering Tool Set-up
mode.
•
Explain that in Tool Set-up mode although the laser is ON, the optical protection is
muted, and the press brake should be treated as if it is in Field Muted mode.
•
If the machine is capable of closing at high speeds in Tool Set-up mode, explain that
speed monitoring is only disabled if the sensors are clear. Any obstruction immediately
re-enables speed monitoring.
Warning: NO OPTICAL PROTECTION IN TOOL SET-UP MODE
In Tool Set-up Mode the laser is ON, but the optical protection is disabled.
Although the Sentinel Plus Press Brake Guarding System will ensure that the
machine does not exceed safe speed if the sensors are obstructed, particular
caution must be exercised.
9.15
Up-Acting Option (if installed)
•
Explain the difference in operation of an up-acting machine.
•
Demonstrate the use of the Open Tools Enable pushbutton, to close the Enable
contacts.
9.16
Restricted Mode (if installed)
•
Explain why Restricted mode is enabled (i.e. the machine does not support dual speed)
and how this is different from standard Sentinel Plus operation.
•
Explain that the operator must reduce the closing speed to less than 50mm/s when
setting the mute point in Restricted mode.
•
Demonstrate the mute setting procedure.
