Creating a Job
To create a job, follow these steps:
1. Specify the scanner mode (see Page 53).
2. Specify the glue mode (see Page 54).
Note! If the repeat function will be used, see Appendix A.
3. Specify the delay and pattern values (see Page 54).
4. Specify product length (see Page 55).
5. Enable the glue valves:
5a. Place the toggle switches for the desired channels in the enabled position (“|”).
6. Conduct a low-speed check:
6a. Operate the parent machine at low speed.
6b . Observe the glue pattern on the product.
Note! Gluing does not begin until the parent machine is operating at the minimum threshold speed set in
the control. It may be necessary to adjust the minimum speed to apply glue at low speed.
6c. Adjust the values for delay and pattern if necessary.
7. Conduct a high-speed check:
7a. Operate the parent machine at the maximum production speed.
7b . Observe the glue pattern on the product. If the glue pattern is not accurately applied at high speed,
follow the channel compensation procedure in the “Initial Setup” section.
8. Adjust the glue pressure:
8a. Use the front-panel glue pressure switch to increase (“+”) or decrease (“-”) the pattern’s glue volume
(air pressure) if necessary.
Note! The amount of pressure selected is indicated by the linear bar graph in the center of the screen and
by a pressure gauge located underneath the control.
