MEASURING ROLL BALANCES
To determine the balance remaining on a roll or to check the length of a new roll perform the following
procedures:
♦
Program the counter:
1.
Press clear
2.
Enter a large number i.e. 5000’
– since the length of
the roll is unknown it is necessary to enter a number
much larger than the estimated length of the roll
3.
Press enter
♦
Line up the edge of the material to be measured to the
cen-
ter
of the
measuring wheel
pile side up.
(see photo 13)
♦
Press
clear
count to reset the counter to zero
♦
Follow the procedures for
“Rolling up the material”
detailed
♦
Continue rolling up the material until the final few feet of the
roll is reached. At this point slow down the speed of the rollers using the
variable speed
control knob
and continue advancing the material until it is centered with the
measuring
wheel
.
♦
The measurement indicated on the counter is the length of the material.
♦
Note
: Failure to slow down the rollers at the end of the measurement may result in the
measuring wheel continuing to turn
and
measure even after the trailing edge of the material
has passed the wheel. This will result in an inaccurate measurement.
Dumping the cut length
The cut length can be dumped on to the floor by opening the roll-up arm fully.
To assist the dumping process jog the roll-up cradle forward.
Caution:
Make sure the area is clear before dumping the cut length.
Dumping the material in the load cradle
The material in the
load cradle
can be dumped on to the floor by releasing the dump safety latch
( Pull latch towards you) and at the same time open load cradle fully. To assist the dumping process jog
the roll-up cradle in reverse.
Caution
:
Make sure the area is clear before dumping the cut length.
