4.4.9 Die opening
This menu is accessed by pressing the ‘DIE OPENING’ button in the main menu
(see Figure 4.28)
To speed up the process time, the RE20 has the possibility to adjust the opening of each die,.
As standard the lifting stations return to their lowest positions however when a time which is
entered is shorter then the time needed to open completely, the opening distance will be
shorter.
Now the time needs to close the die again is also shorter, thus resulting in a faster process
time.
Both lifting stations are working individually, the time for each station can be adjusted
independently. The speed of the lifting cylinder will effect the timing of these function.
Be careful, always take note of the pack height, do not shorten this time so much that the
formed packages can not pass through the opening between upper die part and bottom die
part..
The value of the
set points
can be changed by pressing the numbers. A numeric keypad
(Figure 4.6) will appear, fill in the desired settings, press enter, now the numeric keypad will
disappear and the value for the SP has changed.
When the changes are satisfactory
save
the settings to store them into the current program.
