D. Theory of Operation
This machine uses proven Kegel “SANCTION
TECHNOLOGY”.
This technology is the precise metering of oil to each board
by volume. This generation of SANCTION
TECHNOLOGY is
greatly improved over the first generation of THE SANCTION
MACHINE
. It is much faster and gives more control over the
lengthwise distribution of the oil pattern.
The machine uses one Fluid Metering Pump. The piston
and cylinder are made of ceramic, milled to almost perfect
clearances. The pump has no valves to impair its operation.
The piston revolves as well as reciprocates during
operation.
With the pump rotating at a constant RPM the oil is
pumped at an exact flow rate to a three way valve known as
the Oil Pattern Control Valve. The valve in its OFF state
routes the oil back to the oil tank. When turned ON the
valve routes the oil to a line connected to the Oil Head.
The OIL HEAD travels back and forth across the transfer
system at a constant speed, much like the printer head on a
computer printer. The Oil Pattern Control Valve is then
turned ON and OFF according to the chosen program. This
applies a series of board to board streams of oil onto the
transfer system as the machine travels down the lane.
This stream of oil is a consistent, adjustable, and
measurable amount per board. An example of a common league
condition in the U.S. would be three 2 board to 2 board
streams, followed by two 9 to 9’s, two 10 to 10’s, and four
11 to 11’s as the machine travels down the lane.
