Data
If the cursor placed on this value, the profile thickness can be adjust increase and decrease by turn the
Entry Knob, CW to increase and CCW to decrease. Once decided profile thickness on this profile point,
press Set key, and cursor move back to Point No. value.
* The profile adjustment affected to next start cycle.
Shot Size
Shot Size sets the quantity of plastic used during one machine cycle to produce a container.
Accumulator Machines – the amount of plastic extruded by the accumulator or accumulator stroke.
Shot Size is shown as a percentage (or mm) of the accumulator stroke and its value may only be set be-
tween 1% and 100%.
Continuous Extrusion Machines – the length of time for one machine cycle in seconds. Cycle Time may
only be set between 0.1 and 999.9 seconds. This time is started by machine event, such as the motion of
the knife cutting the parison.
An additional feature is Auto Shot which automatically sets Shot Size to be equal to the time interval
between sequential knife cuts. If Auto Shot is ON then Shot Size automatically update each cycle interval,
and Shot Size is no effect on the cycle time.
Die Gap
Die Gap sets the tooling die gap opening during the portion of the cycle between the end of the program
profile (point 100) and the next cycle start. Die Gap may be set from 0% to 100% of the maximum tooling die
gap opening. And if modified Die Gap parameter while Die gap condition (Die gap status indicator green),
tooling die gap will move to changed position with die gap slope setting speed, when press Set key.
Die Gap is used to control the parison wall thickness for continuous machines and to close the tooling die
gap to prevent drool for accumulator machines.
Delay
Delay delays the start of the programmed profile after the machine cycle is started. During this Delay the
tooling die gap is maintained at the gap programmed by profile point 1. Delay may be set from 0% to 999.9%
of the Shot Size in ACC mode. If Continuous Extrusion mode, Delay may be set from 0sec to 999.9sec
Delay is often used to synchronize the position of the initial programmed portion (bottom) of the parison
with the bottom of the container mold.
Cushion
Cushion applies to Accumulator Machines and when filling type selected to Extrusion only.
