Modes

Profile/Bubble/Taper Mode
This mode is used with the Matching Mode on the puller. Cut distances are meas-
ured using the encoder but are synchronized to the profile sequence. Each time the
puller starts a profile sequence it outputs a sync signal to the cutter and PLC's. The
cutter uses the sync signal to load cut lengths into a queue. No cuts are made at
this time. A physical distance (extruder die head to cutter) is used as the queue
length. After this distance has passed the cut lengths are eventually removed from
the queue. This is when the cuts are made.
