Adding / Editing a Lane Definition
Naming a lane is entirely up to how the ‘user’ (or the plant) decides to name the identifying Lane
Definition. This is what will be displayed within the drop-down selection of the In-line system during
production.
*Naming tips – It is best to name the lane definition after the width of the material. If there are multiple
variations of web division for the same web width, then it is recommended naming the Lane Definition
with something more distinguishable such as [WebWidth]. [LaneCount] (i.e. 62.10).
•
Web Width
– This is the full web width from edge to edge.
•
Edge Trim
– This is the distance from each side of the web which you wish the probe to remain
inside while traversing.
*Note: With SA Traversing Edges are static once the initial edge is found, the system will not continually
check to determine if the edge is moving. With PLC Traversing the edge is detected with each pass using
Photo Eyes mounted to left and right of the probe.
•
Lane Count
– This is how many divided lanes the user wishes to separate out the material into.
It is required that 100% of the web width be accounted for, and therefore represented.
Changing this value will automatically calculate divided lanes into equidistant lengths if Custom
Widths is not checked. The traversing system will produce an
average
reading for every reading
taken within each respective lane. If only specific lanes are intended to be monitored by the
plant, it is the plant's responsibility to either establish the lanes by their desired output or
extract the data as they need for their reporting or review.
•
Edge Trim Lanes?
– Checking the box will automatically ensure that there are at least three
lanes, where the first and last lanes are the width of the Edge trim. If this is checked then,
Custom Widths cannot be. This will automatically divide all remaining interior lanes evenly.
