Automatic Lane to Lane Adjustments
The FLEX Walker is equipped with automatic lane to lane adjusting. The two whiskers
mounted in the front of the machine not only steer the machine into the lane but they also
detect if the machine is traveling too far or too short.
When the machine is programmed to travel left to right if the 7-pin whisker hits first, it will
indicate the machine has traveled short and will add one count to the value for that lane.
After the first whisker contact, the feature is disabled. As the PLC “learns” the center, the
lane to lane distances will become very accurate.
Go to the Main Menu and select MOTOR SPEEDS and the screen will advance to the Motor
Speeds.
In this screen you can now run the drive motor. Press
on one of the speeds, followed by pressing and hold the
Operate Motor button until the motor starts. You can
now check and change the no load speed settings;
generally the motor will run 3 to 4 IPS faster under no
load. If a Flex Walker make sure wheels are not
touching approach before starting motor!
Press AUTO SPEED ADJUST to advance to the next screen. From this screen you can have
the machine adjust the speeds by running up and down a single lane. As the machine
travels it is monitoring the speed and making adjustments when it goes above or below the
limits.
The Walker will come out of the lane, stop, and go
back into the lane for the next speed so you can do
other things while it sets the speeds. The FLEX will
need to be operated as if you were running 6 lanes;
you must pull it in and out of the lane to complete the
settings. This process will take about 20 minutes.
Motor Speeds
Keeping the machine traveling straight in and out of the lane will result in a machine that
makes small adjustments when steering into the lane. It should be common to watch the
machine miss both foul lights and only make light brushes of the whiskers when they do
hit.
