Proof Test Tension
This is the tension set for performing a tensile test on the unit.
Proof Test Speed
This is the speed at which the tensile test will reach the set proof test tension.
Clamp Delay
This parameter creates a delay for the proof test. Once the fiber is loaded in the clamps and
the lid is closed, the set delay will occur at this point.
Proof Test Hold Time
This parameter will hold the fiber for the set time once the set proof test tension has been met.
Preheat Time
The heater nozzle must go through a pre-heating cycle so that the air temperature at the
nozzle end is equivalent to the air temperature inside the heater near the thermocouple. The
suggested range is from 4 to 8 seconds. Increasing the time will increase the nozzle
temperature closer to actual heater temperature giving more repeatable results. However, pre-
heating the nozzle longer than 8 seconds does not appear to increase the nozzle temperature
any more but rather only wastes the air volume and time.
Re-adjust Tension
When set to 1, this causes the AS II to re-adjust the tension on the fiber after moving to the
down position just prior to the burst process. This ensures that the tension is correct during
the strip process. When set to 0, this feature is turned off.
Air on Position
This is a distance from the home position that will tell the heater when to turn on the burst.
This can be set to a value either before or after the strip start position. This will affect the right-
side interfaces. When set to 0, this feature is turned off.
Strip Start Position
This parameter moves the location of the stripped area from the home position. The default
setting is 0.00mm to stay at the home position.
Strip End Position
The strip end position is the length of the window strip. Currently, a window strip can be
created ranging from 2mm to 150mm using the translating nozzle
(1.5mm ID)
. When this
length is set to 0.00mm, the strip window will still be 2mm which is the width of the burst air
column.
