Mode selection
Table 7 describes the three basic modes of operation for this machine. The buttons for selecting a mode
are described in Table 3.
Table 7: Modes of operation
Mode
Description
Full cycle
Pressing the foot switch (with the guard closed) rotates the crankshaft (at a speed defined by
the speed control buttons) through a complete revolution. This completes one full machine
cycle.
Split cycle
Pressing the foot switch once (with the guard closed) rotates the crankshaft (at a speed
defined by the speed control buttons) to the split cycle position. Depressing the foot switch a
second time rotates the crankshaft through the bottom position and back to the top position to
complete the machine cycle.
Jog
Pressing either
Jog
button rotates the crankshaft at a reduced speed in the forward or
reverse direction until the
Jog
button is released or the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the
Jog button is released in mid-cycle and pressed again, the crankshaft continues to rotate in
the forward or reverse direction at the reduced speed. If the machine does not complete the
cycle, either adjust the speed control buttons (see section 4.4), or complete the cycle using
the foot switch (at a speed determined by the speed control buttons) after the
Jog
button has
been pressed and released.
Holding the
Jog
button down for an extended period without completing the cycle causes an
error. To clear the error, clear the problem area and then press the
Error Reset
button. If the
motor is stalled, it may be necessary to manually cycle the machine to the home position.
Refer to the CAUTION statement below for the proper manual cycling procedure.
CAUTION
While in the jog mode, attempting to complete a crimp cycle with terminals and wire in the applicator can cause the motor to
stall and create a jammed condition.
Do not attempt
.
Remove terminals and wire before jogging
. If a jam does occur,
contact TE Field Engineering personnel for assistance.
4.4.
Adjusting motor speed
The speed of the motor is adjusted using the
Decrease Speed
and
Increase Speed
buttons on the membrane
keypad (reference Figure 14). The
Decrease
and
Increase
buttons are used to adjust the motor speed for Full-
Cycle, Split Cycle, and Jog modes. The speed setting in Full and Split Cycle modes is independent of the
speed setting used in the Jog mode. Both speed settings are retained in memory by the CPU / motor controller.
During Full and Split Cycle modes, the last set motor speed is on the display. When the
Jog
button is pressed,
the display changes to show the last set Jog mode speed. The Jog mode speed is displayed until the foot
switch is pressed to change to Full or Split Cycle modes.
In Full and Split Cycle modes, a single
>
shown on the display indicates that the motor speed is set for 16% of
the maximum operating speed value. Each additional
>
on the display increases the motor speed. Available
speeds are listed in Table 8.
