The Auto Advance menu (Figure 7-3), accessed from the Main Initialization Menu, enables you to
set parameters that control the timing for up to two cam channels that are programmed as Auto
Advance.
Figure 7-3. Auto Advance Menu
Auto Advance is a ProCamPAC feature that allows you to provide accurate timing for speed-
sensitive functions on variable speed presses, such as feed advance, pilot release, advance slide, part
lube, and conveyors. Auto Advance is particularly useful on presses with speed ranges from several
hundred to over a thousand strokes-per-minute (SPM).
A channel programmed as Auto Advance automatically advances cam timing as the speed of the
press increases and delays the timing as speed decreases. The rate of advance or delay is controlled
by an advance constant, a specified number of degrees of advance for each 100 SPM increase in
press speed.
You can set two advance constants on the Auto Advance Menu. Advance Constant 1 is applied to
the lowest numbered cam channel programmed as Auto Advance. Advance Constant 2 is applied to
the next lowest numbered Auto Advance channel.
You must also specify the minimum press speed at which auto advance will be applied. This value is
entered in the SLOW RPM field on the Auto Advance Menu. SmartPAC PRO uses the Slow RPM
value as a starting point in the auto advance process. If the value you enter for Slow RPM is

The Auto Advance Menu allows you to adjust your Auto Advance and Slow RPM settings while the
