If you want to determine the number of parts to make at run time enter the number 1 for the batch and total,
unless you know that for a particular wire you need twice as many parts then you should enter a 2 for the total.
When you go to run the part the message above will appear. Enter the number of parts you need to run in the
program multiplier. If you want to divide these totals into batches then check the “Apply batch multiplier” box and
enter the batch size you would like to run.
Harness Mode
will produce a set of wires for a harness. It does this by producing 1 piece of the first part in the
list then 1 pc of the next part in the list and so on. When one piece of each part in the list has been completed the
machine dumps this harness, informs the operator to remove it from the machine, and then starts the next
harness. If you need 2pc of the same part you will need to program it twice in the list. The quantity of harness to
be produced can be preprogrammed in the “Loop” field, or you can set the Loop field to 1 and enter the number of
harnesses to make at run time. When you go to run the part the same box that is shown above will appear. If the
job has the quantity of Loops pre-programmed enter 1 and click the green check. If the job has the loops set to 1,
enter the number of harnesses to make in the Program multiplier box and click the green check.
Creating a New Job Program
To create a new Job Program click on JOB: the following screen will appear.
Programming for Batch Mode
Click on NEW, enter the Job Program name, and click
. To add parts, Click on the desired part in the left
column and “drag” it to the box at the right. The parts will be produced in the order they were dragged into the
job. To remove a part, click on it and drag it out of the box and drop it anywhere. It will disappear.
HINT: Before bringing parts over, set the desired batch size. Also the Total value is best set to “1” this will
allow you to multiply it to any value when the program runs.
Individual entry quantity can be modified once they have been dropped in to the job. To change quantity click on it
and a box will open. Enter the new value.
The list of parts will run one item at a time in the batch sizes prescribed until the total is reached. Follow the
prompts on the screen; the next Part Program will be loaded. After the operator has made any changes that may
be required a push of the Cycle Start button is required to start production again.
WARNING!!!
When establishing a job
with marking on any
part all components
must have marking. If
no mark is desired on a
part in the job enter a
mark of “spaces”.
Failure to do this will
result in misplaced
marks.
