Weight
Weight
is a constant value added to each profile point
and when varied, has the effect of changing container
weight roughly in proportion to the amount of weight
change.
As used on the DigiPack
Ⅲ
,
Weight
produces a change
proportional to the average thickness of the parison.
For a given
Weight
change, the amount of change at
each program point is related to the initial value of that
point. The effect is to provide a container weight
change with a minimal effect on the container wall
thickness distribution.
Weight
is expressed as a percentage of the thickest
point on the profile.
Weight
can vary from minus 100%
to pluse 100%. Weight reduction can occur until the
value of one of the 200 profile points reaches zero.
* If the profile over 100%,
Weight
still can be increase
continuously up to 100%, however actual profile com-
mand is 100% maximum.
Figure 2-12 0%Weight Change
Use the
Rotaly Knob
and
Set
to change the
Weight
setting. The percentage
Weight
change will remain
displayed after being
Set
. When the
Rotaly Knob
is
turned again the new
Weight
entry will start at zero us-
ing the current display as reference. If the
Rotaly Knob
is accidentally moved and the displayed
Weight
value
changed, it will revert to its former value if
SET
is not
pressed and the
Cursor
used.
When you start to generate the profile for a container
for the first time, the
Weight
displayed will equal zero.
After a
Weight
change has occurred, the
Weight
dis-
played will indicate the percentage
Weight
change.
Figure 2-13 shows the effect of a
Weight
reduction of
-23.3% from the
Weight
value of 0% in Figure 2-12. To
make the change easier to visualize, reference lines
drawn between the figures starting at four different par-
ison wall thickness program points have been included.
The
Weight
change will be same from minimum to
maximum parison wall thickness program point.
