MODEL WC601A AUTOMATIC WIRE & TUBING CUTTER
In general, an <ENTER> key press advances to next
parameter, a <RUN> key press jumps over items on
the current screen and advances to the next screen
or menu and an <ESC/PAUSE> key press returns
back to the previous screen. Also, when editing an
existing batch parameter, an <ENTER> key press
is necessary to re-write a new value into memory.
A <RUN> key press simply advances to the next
screen without over writing the old value.
Once the feed rate is decided, press the <RUN> key
to advance to the batch start screen:
JOG - JOG
CUT - CUT
MAIN MENU - ENTER
START - RUN
This menu allows several options: to run a test
piece, to cut a piece, to enter the newly created
batch parameters into memory without running the
batch and to run the batch. If the operator chooses
If an incorrect key is pressed for a given parameter
input (e.g. a number key is pressed at the prompt for
a unit of measure or for the length correction factor), a
long beep will sound that is distinctly longer than the
conrmatory beep heard after each key press. Also,
if the value entered is out of range or isn’t acceptable
as an input for that parameter (e.g. to enter more than
99,999 inches as a length, to use more than 1 decimal
point, etc.) a letter appears in the lower right corner of
the display indicating the error:
UNITS in #1
CUT LENGTH 0.0
LENGTH ADJUST 0
QUANTITY 0 R
A legend to determine the cause of the input is given
below:

R Data out of range.

W

to run some test pieces before commencing the
batch, press the <JOG> key and the manual
process screen comes up:
MANUAL PROCESS
LENGTH: 0.0
ABORT -ESC
This screen looks like the manual mode screen but
has a subtle difference. When the <JOG> or <+>
keys are pressed, the wire or tubing will transport
the cut length parameter. If 5.0” was entered as a
cut length, 5” of material would move through the
machine and 5.0 would be displayed for a length.
Another <JOG> key press would again advance 5
inches of material through the machine and 10.0
would be displayed as the length. When the <CUT>
key is pressed, the cut mechanism activates and the
length is reset to zero.
If the start option is selected (a <RUN> key press), a
batch run screen is displayed:
WAITING FEED
SIGNAL
The machine will then wait for feed signal input.
Once entered, it will then start to feed material. After
feeding, the next screen to appear is:
WAITING CUT
SIGNAL
The machine will then wait for a cut signal input.
Once entered, it will then start to cut material. After
cutting, the cycle will be nished and you will see the
initial screen:
WAITING FEED
SIGNAL
When a batch is successfully completed, a batch
completion screen appears:
RUN COMPLETE #1
PIECES LEFT 0
PUSH ANY KEY
This screen indicates a successful completion of a
batch and the batch number. A key press brings the
main batch select menu back to the screen.
