2.2 Duty Cycle Calculation
The rated duty cycle for the AFC1200 System is calculated as follows:
Total Cycle Time (Tool Rotation + Tool Waiting)
X 100 = Duty Cycle Percentage (%)
Tool Rotation Time
Example: Tool Rotation Time = 3 Seconds x 100 = 25% Duty Cycle Percentage
Total Cycle Time = 12 Seconds
Duty cycle ratings vary between tools. As a general rule, however, it should not exceed 50%.
Refer to the specifications for each tool. If the cycle time is less than 12 seconds, contact
FEC INC. for confirmation.
