Cam Settings
Many of the screens under the settings screen control cam settings.
Cam settings determine when forming operations will occur based on
the position of the horizontal sealing jaws. The position of the sealing
jaws are tracked by a 360 Degree virtual encoder. When the encoder
count is between the cam values set for a forming operation, the motion
controller signals the PLC to initiate that operation. Some cam settings
have ENABLED/DISABLED switches. An ENABLED/DISABLED
switch tells the PLC whether or not a forming operation can be activated
during bag forming. So, for example, if you do not want the bag vibrator
to vibrate the bags during bag forming, set its ENABLED/DISABLED
switch to DISABLED.
Figure 5.8
Shows the cam switches that control the bag vibrator and the bag discharge
unit.
