Description of Configuration Parameters
(Original Document)
Preliminaries
This subject only deals with specific parameters for the "Flying Shear" utility. To configure an independent axis, see Configuring an Independent Axis
Illustration
The screen below groups together all configuration parameters for the "Flying Shear" utility.
Description of Parameters
The table below describes the different parameters for the "Flying Shear" utility.
Parameter
Description
Validation
If checked, the "Flying Shear" utility is activated
Angle Variable
Indicates that the cutting angle between the belt feed axis and the tool feed axis can vary dynamically.
The value of the %MDr.m.0.65 and %MDr.m.0.67 words allows this variation by application.
Cart speed = infinite axis speed x K0 x movement ratio using K0 = (%MDr.m.0.65 / %MDr.m.0.67)
Comment: when this parameter is not checked, only the Movement ratio values are used
The cart speed then becomes: Infinite axis speed x Movement ratio
Movement ratio
Indicates the speed movement ratio between the belt and cart.
Limits [1/sin80, 1/sin10];1, with 1/sin80 = 1.015426 and 1/sin10 = 5.758770. The numerator and denominator should be whole numbers between 1 and 10.106
Material length...
Indicates that the K0 factor is used when calculating the material length to be cut.
Material length = Mvt.Axis0 / K0
with K0 = (%MDr.m.0.65 / %MDr.m.0.67).
Comment: when this parameter is not checked, the length of the product to be cut is equal to that of the belt.
Tool up on event
Indicates that the tool up time is ordered by the EXT_EVT output (%Qr.m.1.10) on channel 1. The tool is rechucked after this time.
Comment: when this parameter is not checked, it indicates that the tool up time is triggered when a position crosses. The tool is rechucked after this time.
Cut on event.
Indicates that the length to be cut can be determined by an EVENT input on channel 0. The cut reading is determined by the belt position at the event rather than the cutting distance on the event.
Max acceleration for return
Indicates that the module should use the parameter Max acceleration for configuration when stopping after cutting.
Synchronization end event.
Indicates that the synchronization end time is ordered by the RECAL output on channel 1. Effective desynchronization is performed after this time. Suspension occurs between the re-calibration and "Flying Shear" utilities.
Comment: when this parameter is not checked, it indicates that the end synchronization time is triggered by a position. Effective desynchronization will be performed after this time.
All these parameters are deactivated by default. All combinations are possible.
