This is the procedure to view or change the number of bumps to Emergency Throw off for web wrap-up: This is the keyboard: ________________________ | | | | | | 000 | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | 0 | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| a. Press these two keys marked with 0's together, depressing the one marked 000 just slightly before the other one. b. The top line of the display will show the Distance that the Print Head or Anilox Roll must be shoved back for the Positioning System to recognize the start of a Web wrap-up. The Distances are currently in discrete steps, corresponding to the clicks on the wheel: 00.8 mils 0 Clicks from the lowest value possible 02.4 mils 1 Clicks from the lowest value possible 04.0 mils 2 Clicks from the lowest value possible 05.6 mils 3 Clicks from the lowest value possible 07.2 mils 4 Clicks from the lowest value possible to a max of 52.0 mils (51.22, actually, because of metric round-off). This corresponds to Stepper Motor Tumbles as follows: 00.8 mils 1 Stepper Motor Tumble 02.4 mils 2 Stepper Motor Tumbles 04.0 mils 3 Stepper Motor Tumbles 05.6 mils 4 Stepper Motor Tumbles 07.2 mils 5 Stepper Motor Tumbles etc, etc c. Rotate the hand encoder to adjust the number of bumps to Emergency Throw off for web wrap-up. The number from the factory is the smallest possible, meaning that the Web push-back is quite sensitive. You will probably want a higher number. Your number should probably be in line with the thickness of the material you're running. For really thin stuff, leave it at 00.8 mils. for 18 point board, I'd suggest trying 02.4 or 04.0 mils. Try the lowest number that works without falsely tripping the Emergency Throw off for web wrap-up. d. To make the Positioning Sysem remember the new value, press the two keys marked with 0's together, depressing the one marked 000 just slightly before the other two: ________________________ | | | | | | 000 | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | 0 | | | |_____|_____|_____|_____| Pressing any other key(s) will make the Positioning Sysem forget about any changes you attempted to make. This is the way you view (and verify) the current value without making a change. e. It's good practice to check your work by repeating steps a and d above, omitting changing any data. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2010, Michael L.
