CREATING A NEW BATCH:
Enter the number on the last line of the batch
prompt screen, in this case 1, and then press the
<ENTER> key. The rst edit screen will appear:
UNITS in #1
CUT LENGTH 0.0
LENGTH ADJUST 0
QUANTITY 0
The current batch number is shown beside the # at
the top right. The cursor will be ashing just before the
in (inch), indicating that the eld is currently editable.
In general, the line being edited will display a blinking
cursor. Press the <ENTER> key to accept the default
of inches, or press the <+> or <-> key to toggle to
cm, for centimeters, then press the <ENTER> key to
store cm. Each time the <ENTER> key is pressed, the
cursor advances to the next parameter.
Enter a value for the length parameter. If the
<ENTER> key is pressed accidentally before a
value is entered, press the <ESC> key to go back
to the main batch select menu. If a mistake is made
during data entry, press the <BACKSPACE> key to
back space over the entry.
If the <ENTER> key has been pressed, press the
<ESC> key and start over. All values entered so
far will have been stored, so you would only have
to press the <ENTER> key until you returned to
the parameter where that is incorrect-the values
would not have to be entered again. The cut length
parameter requires a value between .01 and 99,999
to be entered. The limitation here is that the value can
be a maximum of 6 characters, including the decimal
place. For example, 123456, 123.45 and 1234.5 are
permissible but the value 1234.56 isn’t allowed.
Due to variations in materials, pre-feed systems and
feed wheel pressure, actual cut length may vary
from the inputted length by a proportional amount.
If the cut lengths are consistent with each other,
the machine requires no further adjustment to pre-
feed system or feed wheel pressure. The WC601A
incorporates a length compensation feature to
provide an easy adjustment in these cases. The
length can be compensated +/-1% to +/- 10%
of the inputted length. The length compensation
display will show (-) for a negative value. Example:
If 10” is entered as the desired length, but the
actual average cut piece measures 9.8”, a length
compensation of +2% will increase the cut length by
.200 to the desired 10”. The <+> or <-> keys may be
used to add or decrease length compensation value.
NOTE: Often it will not be known if length
compensation is needed until after a trial run is
completed. When programming a batch, leave the
eld at 0 and edit the batch later if necessary to
add length compensation. Once a value has been
entered, or if the default of 0 is to be used, press the
<ENTER> key. The length compensation will remain
with the batch program.
After the quantity is entered, the rate edit screen appears:
FEED RATE 3 #1
-MAX SPEED 8.0
-MAX ACCEL 20.0
-MAX DECEL 40.0
The default feed rate is feed rate #3, as depicted
above. The feed rate can be changed at this point
by entering a number (0 through 9) or by pressing
the <+> or <-> keys. Feed rate #3 is a good starting
point. Adjust this value upward if the production rate
isn’t high enough and adjust this value down if there
is a lot of slippage at the feed belts. As the value is
changed, the rate values are updated to show what
values are active for that feed rate. The following
table represents the maximum speed at any feed
rate of the feed belts:
NOTE: The slower the feed rate, the more accurate
in length the cut pieces will be. It is advised to start
with the lowest feed rate and check results, then
adjust the feed rate if desired.
