ABOUT USING FEED ADVISOR
You can use Feed Advisor (if available with your servo feed) any time that you want
ProCam to calculate the acceleration rate and maximum run speed for you. If you want to
manually enter your own feed parameters, select "Acceleration" and "Max run speed"
on
the "Feed Parameters" screen.
Remember to program the "Feed Initiate angle" as the "on" angle of the "Feed Advance"
cam in ProCam!
Load by tool number
You can automatically load feed sttings by tool number. To load a tool number, press
RESET twice, the first time to exit from the "Feed parameters" display and then again to
get to the "Load tool number" screen. Press ENTER to load (or RESET to back out).
You will get a message like this one which confirms that you have successfully loaded
the tool (your tool number may be different):
Please Wait … LOADING TOOL 1
How to load by tool numbers is covered in Chapters 5 (Program mode) and 6 (Run mode)
of the ProCam 1500 user manual.
Run mode
REMEMBER!
ProCam 1500 SFI works differently with the various
models of servo feeds available. You may not be able
to adjust feed settings.
While you are running the press, ProCam 1500 will operate the servo feed based upon the
settings you made in Program mode, and in some cases, you can make minor adjustments
to the currently loaded tool number.
To use Run mode, turn the Program/Run key to "Run". Here is the screen that you will
see (Figure 3-16).
