Section 7 - Initial Setup MC060 Manual/VC350AG AutoGlue Control System
To set up the VC350AG control for Pattern Glue (Figures 7-1 and 7-2),
follow these steps:
1. Set the glue-flow knob on the front panel of the control to the
middle position (12 o’clock).
2. If you have a two-channel system, select the proper position of
the scanner switch (JP1) on the main board (SC2 enables
scanner 1 for channel II; SC1 enables scanner 2 for channel II).
3. Turn on the electrical power to the control unit.
4. Measure the distance from the beginning scanner actuation
point to the glue-applicator head.
5. Enter this number in the cell-to-gun (CTG) switches on the main
board. If you are using a BOARDRUNNER glue station, this
value is preset for you (7.00).
6. Set the “Ratio Comp” switches on the main board (see the
encoder information in “Adjusting the Ratio Compensation” in
the next section).
7. Turn on gun-selector switch 1 and set the AG switch on the front
of the control to the “down” position. Make sure the “A” lower
LED is on.
8. Set the front-panel “Start” and “Stop” switches in order to apply
a sample glue pattern. (The longest possible pattern length will
offer the greatest degree of accuracy during this phase of the
setup.)
8a. Measure the distance from the leading edge of the
product (first edge seen by the scanner) to the point
at which the glue pattern should begin.
8b. Enter this dimension as the “Start” value on the front
panel of the control unit.
8c. Measure the distance from the leading edge of the
product (first edge seen by the scanner) to the point
at which the glue pattern should stop.
8d. Enter this dimension as the “Stop” value on the front
panel of the control unit.
The Start value entered must be
smaller than the Stop value. Otherwise,
the control will apply random glue
patterns.
