Adjusting the Time Cycle
FORMULA
Step 1
Speed (pieces per minute)
= pieces per second
60 seconds
Step 2
_______1_______ = Time Cycle Setting
pieces per second
EXAMPLE
Assuming a production run of 240 pieces per minute:
Step 1
240 pcs/min
= 4 pcs./sec.
60 sec.
Step 2
_____1_____
= .25 seconds
4 pcs./sec.
Presetting to a setup that corresponds to production flow is possible, but not
mandatory. The operator needs only know what the anticipated flow rate is, in
pieces per minute, to compute the proper setting. The following formula and
example shows how to make the computations.
