Custom Widths?
– Checking this box will allow the user to enter variable widths for their desired
lanes. The SUM of all the widths must exactly equal the full web width field. When editing
values directly in the grid, the final value will change its value to balance the sum of the
equation (add all values, except for last, and subtract from provided Web Width to give the new
value of the last [LaneWidth]). If the last [LaneWidth] is a value less than 0.0, then the value will
be set to 0.0. The width customization must be rectified so that none of the individual value is
<= 0.0, and that ALL values sum up to equal the full Web Width.
Incremental motion stops the probe head at specific points across the web, relative to the detected
web edge, which is defined as Pause Positions in the Lane Definition of the Data Manager.
The pause position forces the probe head to pause at specific points on the web, relative to the
detected web edge.
To add a pause position, type in the distance from the edge of the web (specifically the edge that is
closest to the SpecMetrix® Traversing Home position) in the [Add Pause] field and click the “+” symbol at
the end of the editor. If the value entered is within the defined traverse area (
Traverse area
is from the
[(Detected Web Edge) + (Edge Trim)] to [(Web Width) – (Edge Trim)]), then the value will be displayed in
the “Pause List.” The In-line software will automatically set the outer Traverse Area positions as a pause
position when the web edge is detected and will not allow you to enter a pause value for that location.
If you adjust the (Web Width) field or (Edge Trim) field, the Data Manager will automatically remove any
pause positions that fall outside of the newly defined traverse area.
