Chapter 1 Initial Setup
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Connection Connection of the programmer cable to the machine is described here. Check that the machine power is OFF before connecting the cable. 1. Connect the cable to the connector on the right side of the floppy disk drive.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Handling the programmer Display panel Displays messages during programming. Operation panel Press here for operation. After use Wind the cable for storage as shown in the figure.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Turning power ON/OFF Turning power ON 1. Switch ON the machine. 2. Press the reset switch of the folding machine and conduct positioning. Reset switch FOLDER RESET START RESET EMERGENCY STOP 3. Set the pattern if it is prepared. Fix the pattern sheet with adhesive tape on the feed plate to prevent displacement. Put cloth below the work clamp if there is no pattern. 4. Press P on the programmer. The work clamp comes down.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Turning power OFF 1. Write the programmer data into a floppy disk. Refer to "Writing data" (page 129.). If the data is not need to be saved, delete it. Refer to "Deleting program data" (page 123.). 2. Press P on the programmer. The panel turns off. 3. Remove the pattern sheet. 4. Switch OFF the machine.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Handling of floppy disk Do not force open the shutter for direct contact with the magnetic area. Do not bring disks near magnetic matters such as magnetic screwdriver or the back side of the programmer. Do not store floppy disks in an extremely high or low ambient temperature. Do not use floppy disks under high humidity. Do not use or store floppy disks in a dusty place. Do not store floppy disks under direct sunlight. Do not bend the disk. Do not put things on the disk.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Protecting data in floppy disks Write-protection is available for a floppy disk to prevent undesired data deletion. A write-protected disk is read-only. It is recommended to provide write-protection for disks which contain important data. To do so, slide the write-protect notch to open the slot as shown below. Slide the notch in this direction to prevent data loss or overwriting. Slide the notch in this direction to write data.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Contents This manual consists of the following chapters. Chapter 1 Preparations of operation Describes the basic precautions. Chapter 2 Programming with Help Function Describes the procedure to create programs using icons. It is recommended for persons who are used to icon input. who use this machine for the first time. who sometimes create programs. Chapter 3 Programming with Command Function Describes the procedure to create programs using command functions.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Notes for programming Pattern sheet Use thin plotting paper or prepare copies of pattern sheet. The pattern sheet is designed in the original scale. Stitch length Setting range between 0.3 and 6.0 mm is available. As for the needle tacking data, values 0.1 to 1.0 mm are available. Stitch count Maximum available count is 1,000. Selectable program numbers Selectable program numbers vary depending on the clamps used when writing data.
Chapter 1 Initial Setup Location to input the end code Input the end code in the shaded area in the drawing because there is an air cylinder in the center when using the retractable clamp. Inputting the code in other locations will damage the machine because the top part and the cylinder come into contact with each other. Input the end code in this area.
