Section 4.3.2 Timed Inch (When Provided)
This mode selection functions like the Inch mode until a programmable downstroke slide position is reached.
After this point, holding the Inch buttons depressed results in automatically controlled inching movements
of the slide until the dies resist slide motion or until the bottom of the stroke is reached. When the bottom
of the stroke is reached, the clutch action will stop. Releasing the palm buttons will then restore the normal
inch mode function until the press cycles back to the programmed downstroke position. Stroke initiation is
allowed only with the main motor running in the forward direction or OFF. This mode is optional and can
be configured ON or OFF by the factory.
Section 4.3.3 Inch
This mode selection requires the use of the Inch buttons to cause stroking. When the buttons are depressed
and held, the slide runs until the crankshaft angle reaches the top of the stroke, the Inch buttons are released,
or a stop input occurs. Each time the machine stops, further strokes can be made only after all run buttons
are released. Stroke initiation is allowed with the main motor running in the forward or reverse direction,
or OFF. Crankshaft motion after stroke initiation must exceed the minimum strokes/min threshold if the main
motor is running in the forward direction.
Section 4.3.4 Single Stroke
This mode selection requires the use of all active operator stations to cause stroking. When all active
operator station run buttons are depressed and held, the slide runs until the crankshaft angle reaches the top
of the stroke or any stop input occurs. The press will stop if any active run button is released in the
downstroke, until the crankshaft reaches the angle of automatic carry up. After this angle is reached, the
press control will keep the clutch air valve energized until the crankshaft angle reaches the top of the stroke
or any stop input occurs. Any or all active run buttons may be released without causing the press to stop
once automatic carry up is in effect. Strokes can be initiated in the upstroke, but the press control will not
enter automatic carry up and will run to the top of the stroke only as long as all active run buttons are
depressed. Each time the machine stops, further strokes can be made only after all run buttons are released.
The use of any inactive operator station run button before a stroke is initiated prevents stroke initiation. The
incorrect run button is listed as the Reason For The Last Stop, and a warning that an inactive station was
used is displayed until the RESET ERROR softkey is pressed. After this warning is acknowledged, further
strokes can be made only after all run buttons are released. The use of any inactive operator station run
button after a stroke has been properly initiated causes an immediate stop and requires all run buttons to be
released before further strokes can be made. If station #4 is configured for a foot switch, stroke initiation
is allowed from either the active palm button stations or the foot switch. The foot switch can not be used
in conjunction with any palm button station. Press operation in this mode is allowed only with the main
motor running in the forward direction.
Section 4.3.5 Continuous
This mode selection requires the use of a Continuous Setup prior action button and all active operator
stations to cause stroking. Six seconds are allowed after the Setup button is depressed for all active operator
station run buttons to be depressed and held until slide motion begins. After stroke initiation, any or all
operator buttons may be released. The press control will keep the clutch air valve energized until a top stop,
