NOTE: The flow control valve provides a smooth and constant feed to
the cutting tool. The feed rate is dependent on the amount of spatter
accumulated. If a smaller amount of spatter accumulates, the feed rate can be
set faster. A feed rate that is set too fast may stall the motor or damage the
cutter blade and consumables.
To Adjust the Flow Control Valve(s)
1. There is a flow control valve for adjustment of the lift speed of the
spindle located behind the spindle shroud cover. The retract speed is
fixed. The feed rate may require adjusting for different applications.
2. To
increase the feed rate of the cutter blade, the valve would have to be
opened.
3. To
decrease the feed rate of the cutter blade, the valve would have to be
closed.
5-5 Adjusting Flow Control Valves
4. In the HMI screen there are two options in the left part of the screen.
One for the Program Status and one for Program Setup. (Figure 3)
The Program Status will give you the real time status of the Reamer
and the Program Setup will allow you to change the dwell times
and enable/disable Double Stroke. (Figure 4)
5. Once in the Program Setup screen, the right side of the screen will display the various dwell times and double stroke option.
6. To enable/disable the Double Stroke press the button “Enable Double Stroke from HMI”. (Figure 5)
7. To change the dwell times for the motor start up, spindle and sprayer insert the desired time (in milliseconds) into the white
cell and press the corresponding button below it. The respective total dwell time will be updated instantly in the HMI screen.
(see Figures 6, 7 and 8)
8. There are pre-programmed minimum dwell times that cannot be changed (250ms – Motor Start Up and Spindle Advance,
500ms for Sprayer Duration). The time inputted by the user in the HMI will not be cumulative with these minimum dwell times.
