The job number screen displays (2) choices for the operator. In the first choice,
F1=Program new values, the operator can enter or change the number of sequences,
repeats per sequence, pilots, feed length, strokes per minute that the press is running
and feed arc angle. (Free travel of the press in which the feed can move material
without a problem) this then calculates the optimum speed of the material movement.
The second choice, F4= Don’t alter values that are programmed, puts the job number
entered in memory for running at this time. If F1 was selected the following display
would appear.
JOB NUMB=XX ENTER IN
NUMB OF SEQUENCES=XX
PRESS F4 KEY ONCE
CORRECT # IS ENTERED
By definition a sequence is an event. Within a specific jobnumber there is a maximum
of 10 sequences or events. A different sequence could be a new feed length or a
different output or both. After choosing the amount of sequences then press the F4
key and the following screeen appears.
FEED ADVISOR JOB#=00
FL=000.000 SPM=000
FEED ARC (ANGLE)=180
F4=EXIT FEED ADVISOR
Input or change data at curser. At this time, the longest feed length and the maximum
strokes per minute for this job should be entered to test if the feed parameters are
within the specifications of what the feed can perform. When complete press F4 to
exit. A fault window will appear if the feed length is too long for SPM. Feed arc is
press free travel for feeding material. Max feed arc =300 degrees. The % of speed
and then % accel rate is automatically calculated.
This is the fault window that is displayed if the feed length and strokes per minute are
not within maximum parameters.
