Convex corner speed (refer 9.3.4 Advanced Controls Feed).
This is the speed of the
laying of the band on a convex corner. Typically this is set at approximately 2000 – 2500
which is a good universal speed which allows the banding time to set before the rollers
move on, even on smaller radius corners.
When the banding does not naturally conform to the curve (ie, it requires force to hold it
tight to the curve of the corner, especially at the transition from straight to curve), then a
slower speed will allow the glue time to go off as it presses the band before moving on to
the next section.
With larger radius corners (typically where the banding will naturally curve to the shape
without having to be forced), it is possible to go much faster an consequently if large runs
are being made with a certain panel, cycle times can be reduced by increasing corner
speed.
Pause Convex (Refer 9.3.4 Advanced Controls Feed)
An explanation is given in this section 9.3.4 relating to using the pause function on the
corners to press the band down at the transition from the straight edge into the radius and
similarly the radius back to the straight edge. This gives extra ability to hold the band tight
at these points with difficult materials.
Slow Delay Convex (Refer 9.3.4 Advanced Controls Feed)
Usually this is set at 5 (0.5 seconds) which allows the roller to reach the corner before
slowing the feed. However, setting this to 0 will mean an instantaneous slowdown when
the convex sensor drops off the board which means that the band which will lay on the
corner passes slower over the glue nozzle applying more heat and making it more flexible.
Convex Sensor bracket.
This bracket is able to be swung through an arc. It is usually situated in its outer position
as shown here.
