Letter Paramacro Label Description
F
1
500 MAX. LIFT VELOCITY The velocity of the bar goes when it approaches a part before the low soft touch position,
and after the soft touch high position.
F
2
501 SOFT TOUCH VELOCITY The velocity of the bar when it goes between the soft touch low position and soft touch
high position.
X
1
502 SOFT TOUCH LOW POSITION The location where the transfer bar reduces velocity as it approaches the part.
X
2
503 SOFT TOUCH HIGH POSITION The location where the transfer bar has made contact with the part. Once the bar has
the part, it continues at maximum lift velocity.
X
3
504 FULL RAISE POSITION The location where the part has been lifted to its maximum position and is about to be
transferred to the station.
F
3
505 TRANSFER VELOCITY The velocity of the bar as it transfers the part to the station.
Y
1
506 FULL ADVANCE POSITION The location that indicates that the part has been fully transferred to the station.
Y
2
507 FULL RETURN POSITION The location that indicates that the bar has returned to the station it started at.
X
4
508 FULL LOWER POSITION The location where the bar has been fully lowered.
J 509 HARD STOP SENSE ZONE A zone in which a hard stop may be present.
