each cycle. In this mode the first step is to enter the
SHOT
WEIGHT
of the part on the main screen. Next set the
LDR
(Let
Down Ratio) on the main screen. In CYCLE mode your MGF will
dispense the calculated rate (shot weight x LDR) during the
length of screw recover time.
Select CONTINUOUS...
for extrusion, where the MGF auger runs continuously. In this
mode the first step is enter
LBS (or KILOS) / HOUR
of the
extruder on the main screen. Next set the
LDR
(Let Down Ratio)
on the main screen. In CONTINUOUS mode your MGF will run
continuously at the calculated rate (lbs/hr x LDR). Auger speed
will adjust automatically to maintain dispense rate.
Select EXTR. FLLW...
for extrusion, where the MGF auger runs continuously by
following the 0-10 volt reference voltage of the extruder screw.
In this mode the first step is to set the XMO parameter. Setting
XMO will automatically calculate extruder throughput on the main
screen based on a 0-10 volt reference. See page 27 for XMO.
Next set the
LDR
(Let Down Ratio) on the main screen. In
Extrusion Following mode your MGF will run continuously at the
calculated rate (lbs/hr x LDR). Auger speed will adjust
automatically to maintain dispense rate.
With the correct mode selected...
