Specify Minimum Gluing Speed
To specify the minimum gluing speed, follow these steps:
1. Begin operating the production line at the desired minimum speed (the speed at which gluing will begin).
2. Press the “MIN SPEED” button in the level-3 menu screen.
Note! The minimum speed setting screen displays two bar graphs. The top bar graph displays the minimum
speed of the parent machine at which gluing will begin. The bottom bar graph displays the actual
speed of the parent machine. The maximum speed indication of the bar graph is 1000 feet (300
meters) per minute. If the parent machine exceeds this speed, the bar graph restarts from the left side
and displays the speed above 1000 feet (300 meters) per minute.
3. Use the plus or minus buttons on the screen to adjust the upper bar graph (minimum speed) so that it is less
than the lower bar graph (actual machine speed).
4. Press the “EXIT” button when done.

(this value will display in either inches or millimeters depending on the setup of your control).

“CELL-GUN 2”).
3. Press the “ENTER” button. The “OK DONE” message displays, indicating that the distance entered has
been saved.
Note ! This value should need no adjustment after the initial installation of the control and valves. However,
