Item Description
Control Mode
There are four Control Modes to choose from:
Position Based Spacing
- The valve will fire at predetermined XY
locations along the line. If the line speed is too high for the given
spacing, then the valve will not fire. To remedy this situation, increase
the spacing or decrease the dispense speed.
Time Based Spacing
- The valve actuates based on the Shot Time
Interval. If the Shot Time Interval is less than the valve cycle time, the
valve will not fire. To remedy this situation, increase the Shot Time
Interval or decrease the valve cycle time. The current recommended
minimum Valve Off Time is 2ms.
Total Number of Dots
- The specified number of dots will be dispensed,
equally spaced, along the length of the line. If the number of dots is too
great for the given speed, the valve will not dispense all of the dots
required. To remedy this situation, decrease the number of dots and/or
the dispense speed.
No Dispensing
- The valve will be turned OFF and no dispensing will be
performed along the given line. This line type is generally used in
patterns with a continuous path.
Spacing
Available only in Position Based Spacing Control Mode. The distance
between the center of one dot and the center of the next dot.
Shot Time Interval
Available only in Time Based Spacing Control Mode. Specifies the
amount of time between successive dots.
Total # of Dots
Available only in Total Number of Dots Control Mode. Specifies the total
number of dots to be dispensed along the length of the path (one or more
line segments).
Velocity
Adjustment Factor
Values less than unity (1.0) increase the length of the dispensed line.
Values greater than unity decrease the length of the dispensed line.
