As the display indicates, use the left and right, as well as the up and down CURSOR keys.
Press the left and right CURSOR keys to position the triangular-shaped pointer over the
desired digit, and then press the up and down CURSOR keys to increase or decrease the
value, one step at a time. If you need assistance, Chapter 3 in the ProCam 1500 user manual
explains how to use these keys. When you are satisfied with the value, press the ENTER
key. However, if you wish to leave this screen without making a change, press RESET.
When you select either of the other two feed parameters - - "Acceleration" or "Maximum
run speed", the display is similar to "Set Feed length", and the instructions at the bottom
of the screen are identical. Figure 3-12 shows the other two screens.
If you have and
plan to use Feed Advisor, you do not need to set acceleration rate and maximum run
speed. Remember! Read your servo feed manual before making feed settings!

MORE ABOUT YOUR SERVO FEED SETTINGS
The
acceleration rate
governs how fast the servo feed will accelerate to its set
run speed. Your servo feed has a built-in maximum acceleration. The
acceleration rate is a percentage of this maximum. For instance, a setting of 80%
means the servo feed will accelerate to run speed at 80% of its maximum
capability. Your press servo feed may have a minimum acceleration rate. Refer
to your servo feed manual for more information about the acceleration rate.
Follow all guidelines given there when making acceleration rate settings.
Maximum Run speed
is usually stated as inches/min. Follow all guidelines in the
servo feed manual to make proper settings for run speed.
Keep in mind that you can optionally use the
Feed Advisor
to automatically
calculate the acceleration rate for you (if it is available with your servo feed).
