SETUP
1. Introduction
Spec*Edge
™
was developed to support on-going quality control measurements
for the slitting and cutting of paper sheets. Spec*Edge
™
is capable of scanning at a
resolution of 700 or 800 dots Per Inch (DPI) depending on the UMAX scanner being
used, or measuring in increments of .036 mm or .0014 in. Spec*Edge
™
provides six
(6) key measurements.
¦ Sheet squareness.
¦ Sharpness and curvature of the four edges of the sheet and the
¦ cut quality of single sheet edge.
¦ Absolute width and height of the sheet.
¦ Absolute location and diameter of the holes (if present) in the sheet.
¦ Corner sharpness.
¦ Hanging fibers per inch.
Spec*Edge
™
is intended primarily for quality control testing, laboratories, research,
process control on the production floor, and can also be a tool used in training and
marketing. ZEROX standards for sheet cut quality can be verified and documented.
One of the design concepts behind Spec*Edge
™
is the creation of
specifications which group a set of sheet engineered design parameters under a
single sheet name. Machine and Operator settings may also be entered as well as
enabling graphs and the database. Settings are password controlled. Each time
Spec*Edge
™
loads, the previous settings are automatically loaded, and if a user with
the proper password modifies a setting or creates a new one, the new settings are
saved for future reference. The <Setup> button (Figure 1) on the Operator
Screen is used to enter the Setup Screen where settings may be created and
edited.
