Machine Functions
10.1
Sensors and Outputs
The exact position and description of all sensors and outputs are explained in the electric schemat-
ics, included with the machine. Refer to the ’Switching Outputs Manually’ section on page 19,
showing how all outputs can be tested in their function.
10.2
Feeding of Textiles
As described in the input mode section on page 16, there are two ways to feed the machine:
1. Feeding with conveyor stopped
2. Feeding with the conveyor running
The requested mode is saved in program parameter 49. When working using mode 1 above, the
buttons under the belts are used for starting the conveyor. These start-buttons choose a defined
fold program (parameter 51 - 53) or a stacker (parameter 65): Inside = A ; Middle = B; Outside = C;
10.3
Automatic Folding
The machine can distinguish between the pieces by their lengths and split them into six groups.
Each group can be handled by a given sub-program. The selected programm (main program)
determines which sub-program will be used. Length piece 1
Limit 1 / 2
Length piece 2
Limit 2 / 3
