When you click Ratio/Design Analysis, the following dialog box opens.
Depending on your system configuration, the following Ratio Analysis options
may be available to you:
• Gearbox
• Tra n s m i ss i on 1
• Tra n s m i ss i on 2
• Lead
• Sprocket PCD (sprocket pitch circle diameter)
• Pinion PCD (pinion pitch circle diameter)
• Drive Diameter
For more information, refer to Ratio Analysis
on page 220.
The Cut Length Analysis option is available when you use the Press Roll Feed
(constant time/constant angle), Carriage Cut Off, or Cutter Knife Drive
application templates.
