Standard Bias
Bias is the force applied by the patented VECTOR Revolution
process in the direction of travel. This assists the head along
the workpiece.
Start Bias
Bias along the direction of travel as the band is first being laid
on the workpiece. Some banding materials (in particular in a
hot environment) may slip a little as they are being laid on the
workpiece.
If the banding is sliding along the workpiece in the direction of
travel, reduce the bias.
If the banding is sliding under the rollers, increase the bias.
Bias after cut
On some difficult materials, in particular on small diameter
round panels, it can be that the banding bunches as the head
accelerates back to speed after performing the end trim in
preparation for the butt join.
Increasing this parameter can eliminate this banding issue.
On difficult materials and small radius external corners, it is possible that there can be
some gapping of the band at the transition into and out of the radius. It is possible to use
this pause function to slow the feed at the two transition points to ensure tighter glue
bonds.
Pause speed convex
Speed of pause. 0 = slowest possible speed which is set by
the motor controller. Same as speed at butt joins.
Distance to pause 1
Distance after convex sensor drops off panel to the point where
the creep speed 1 applies. These positions can be adjusted so
the feed slows at the correct position desired on the corner.
Distance to pause 2
Distance after convex sensor drops off panel to the point where
the creep speed 2 applies
Length of pause
This is the distance in (0.1mm) for which the creep speed
applies. It this value is set to 0, the corner pauses are
disabled.
If this distance is set to 100, the feed will creep for 10mm at
positions 1 and 2 above.
On small diameter circular panels, it may be desirable to pause the feed at the point
where the banding is first laid on the panel and also when the end of the band is laid to
make the butt join so as to ensure a flat butt join.
This can be achieved using the following setup.
Stop at tape start (0.1mm) Position where feed will pause to hold down tape at tape start.
Time pause at start (0.1s) Length of time for the pause at the start
Stop at joint (0.1mm)
Position where feed will pause to hold down tape at the joint.
Time pause at joint (0.1s) Length of time for the pause at the joint.
