9.2.3 Single or Pendulum
The machine is equipped with two vacuum manifolds which can either be used as a large
single field or as two individual fields to allow one to be loaded/unloaded while the other is
still working.
If the box ( 941) is set to SINGLE, then both vacuum fields operate as one with either
vacuum control switch (945) working both fields. In this case, during a cycle, neither
vacuum field will be released if the control switch is activated.
If the box (941) is set to PENDULUM, then the vacuum fields operate individually. Thus in
the image above, the left field (944) is highlighted by the RED box indicating that this is the
active field.
Pressing the Move to Position key (942) will move the head to the position highlighted.
The cycle will not start unless the head is in this position.
On completion of the cycle, the head will automatically toggle to the opposite field position
(945) set on the screen.
NOTE: When in SINGLE mode, either field can be set anywhere on the worktable. This
allows a start position and a park position to be placed anywhere giving maximum
flexibility for large panels.
Typically the right field on the screen (945) is used for the start position and the park
position is set in the left field on the screen (944). This is because usually the head is
parked away to the left of the workpiece giving easiest access to the panel and is
therefore intuitive.
When in PENDULUM mode, the machine automatically limits the positions for the fields to
the appropriate areas on the machine. If a setting is entered which is outside this range,
the screen will flash a SETPOINT OUTSIDE RANGE error and automatically reset this
value to the maximum allowed.
