SSC-1500 Part Revolution Solid-State Control
SECTION 4—PROGRAMMING
OPTIONAL MODES
The SSC-1500 press control has two (2) optional modes screens that are used to turn on or off the following optional modes of operation:
Continuous-
On-Demand, Foot-Maintained Continuous, Two-Hand-Maintained Continuous, One-Hand or Foot Trip Single Stroke,
and
Automatic Single Stroke
.
These optional modes are mutually exclusive, which means that only one of them may be on at a time.
CONTINUOUS-ON-DEMAND
To use
Continuous-On-Demand
, the mode selector switch must be set to
CONT
, and the actuating means selector switch must be set to
HAND
.
Continuous-On-Demand
is a mode of operation where the press control system provides intermittent periods of continuous stroking automatically
actuated by demand signals from other machinery or equipment used in association with the press in the production process, without action by
an operator after the initial start. This mode is often used in production systems when a machine in the system uses parts in its operation that are
produced by the press, but the machine cannot operate fast enough to use the number of parts produced if the press were run in the
Continuous
mode.
The demand signal must be received within a set amount of time, which is programmed by the operator. This timed setting is called signal time-out.
For directions on how to program this setting, refer to the timed settings section on pages 56 - 57.
The programmed time must be longer than the entire
Continuous-On-Demand
sequence of operation. If the signal is not received within the
programmed amount of time, the press will not cycle. If the signal is received within the programmed amount of time, the press will cycle and the
signal time-out setting will reset and start over.
Initially, the timer is started before the first continuous cycle by pressing the prior-action button. The palm buttons must then be used to initiate the
continuous cycle. The press will run continuously until the signal stops. After the first continuous cycle, the timer is started again when the signal
from an outside source is received. This must occur before the signal time-out setting expires. To stop the press once it is in the
Continuous-On-
Demand
mode of operation, press either the emergency-stop or top-stop palm button.
FOOT-MAINTAINED CONTINUOUS
To use
Foot-Maintained Continuous
, the mode selector switch must be set to
CONT
, and the actuating means selector switch must be set to
FOOT
.
Foot-Maintained Continuous
is a mode of operation whereby the slide strokes continuously as long as the operator(s) maintains actuation of the foot
switch. This mode requires the prior-action push button to be depressed prior to actuating the foot switch. If the foot switch is released during the
downstroke, the press will stop immediately. If the foot switch is released on the upstroke, the press will top stop.
TWO-HAND-MAINTAINED CONTINUOUS
To use
Two-Hand-Maintained Continuous
, the mode selector switch must be set to
CONT
, and the actuating means selector switch must be set
to
HAND
.
Two-Hand-Maintained Continuous
is a mode of operation whereby the slide strokes continuously as long as the operator(s) maintains actuation of the
palm buttons. This mode requires the prior-action push button to be depressed prior to actuating the palm buttons. If the palm buttons are released
during the downstroke, the press will stop immediately. If the palm buttons are released on the upstroke, the press will top stop.
