Rapid-Air SERVO FEED: KBX SERIES - Manual (Page 15)

SERVO
To help you to enter a job from the keypad, let’s create an example.
We will use a feed length of three inches and want to run at 100 strokes per minute. We
have a pilot pin on the die, so pilots will have to be used. The max feed arc will be 180
degrees.
The main menu is currently displayed. First we select the job number and we will use job
#1.
1. Press F1 to select the job number.
2. Enter job number “01” - press the F4 key when finished.
3. The job number screen shows two choices:
A. F1 = program parameters. This choice is used if a job has already been
programmed and you would like to adjust the parameters that were preset for the
job.
B. F2 = feed-advisor-calc. This should be used when entering a new job number.
The two main inputs are the feed length and strokes per minute. The third input is
to enter a “1” or a “0” for pilots. We will put in a “1” for “yes for pilots”. The fourth
input is the feed arc. This is preprogrammed as 180 degrees and need not be
changed to set up a job unless specific move parameters in relation to press
stroke position is required. To move around in this screen, press the “enter” key in
the lower right corner of the key pad. Once the feed length and strokes per
minute are entered, then the F4 key to exit the screen. The program now
calculates the accel/decel and speed for the parameters entered. At this time the
“F4 key” review parameter should be used to check to be sure that you entered the
correct parameters.
4. Press “F2” to select the manual mode.
A. Press F1 to select the “inch” or jog mode. This mode will move the material
slowly forward or reverse to position the material at it’s proper location. F2 being
used for forward and F3 for reverse movement. Press F4 to leave the “inch”
mode.
B. Press F2 to select the “single feed” mode. At this time each press on the F1 key
will rotate the rolls to move the material three inches, the feed length that was
entered, at the same feed rate as the feed would move the material in the
automatic mode. Press the F4 key {exit} to leave this screen.
5. Press “F3” to select automatic cycle. In this mode the servo can be run in the batch
or continuous mode.
A. Press F1 to select the batch mode. In the batch mode, the servo will feed each
time it is commanded until the batch count reaches “0”, then the automatic cycle
drops out.
B. Press F2 to select the continuous mode. In the continuous mode, the servo will
feed each time it is commanded until the command stops or the operator presses
the “F4” return key.
