ITEM DESCRIPTION

Schedule#

default: 1

default max: 100

This item indicates the sealing schedule number. This information is displayed on both the LISTING and DETAIL screens.

Comment

This item describes the type of seal. The comment is displayed as part of the sealing instruction. This information is displayed on both the LISTING and DETAIL screens.

Flow type

This item defines how the flow of material will be measured. The following flow types are available:

  • TCPP Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using TCP speed prediction

  • PROG Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using programmed speed prediction

  • CONST Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using no speed prediction

  • Percentage

  • TCPP Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using TCP speed prediction

  • PROG Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using programmed speed prediction

  • CONST Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using no speed prediction

  • Volts

  • Pressure (psi)

  • Pressure (bar) This information is displayed on both the LISTING and DETAIL screens.

Flow Model

This item specifies the kind of flow model applied on the current schedule. Linear and Square flow models are available.

Flow rate

This item specifies the desired rate of material flow. The units used correspond to the flow type you have selected. This information is displayed on the DETAIL screen as "Flow Rate" and on the LISTING screen as "Value."

Guns used

This item specifies the guns that DispenseTool will use for dispensing. Up to six guns can be used. Guns can be used only if they have been defined during DispenseTool configuration. The Guns used item displays the status of the six possible guns using a six-character expression. The first character represents gun 1, the second character represents gun 2, the third character represents gun 3, and so forth. If a gun has not been defined, it is represented by a *. If a gun has been defined, the following symbols specify whether it will be used during calibration:
  • The gun number indicates that the gun will be used.

  • The minus symbol,"-", indicates that the gun will not be used. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Equip. ant-time***

default: 0 msec

min: 0 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the taught position and when material is dispensed from the gun. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Eq. additn ant-time***

This item indicates the additional anticipation time of the equipment. Additional anticipation times might be required when equipment receives a decreasing flow rate command signal. This item only applies to the flow type of TCPP or PROG.

Gun on ant-time***

default: 0 msec

min: -1000 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the destination position and when the gun is turned on. If you want the gun to turn on before the robot reaches the destination position, set Gun on ant-time to a positive number. If you want the gun to turn on after the robot reaches the destination position, set Gun on ant-time to a negative number. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Gun off ant-time***

default: 0 msec

min: -1000 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the destination position and when the gun is turned off. If you want the gun to turn off before the robot reaches the destination position, set Gun off ant-time to a positive number. If you want the gun to turn off after the robot reaches the destination position, set Gun off ant-time to a negative number. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Bead shaping (BS)*

default: 0 psi

min: 0 psi

max: 999 psi

This item indicates the amount of Bead shaping air (atomizing air) used. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

BS on ant-time *,***

default: 0 msec

min: -1000 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the destination position and when the atomizing air is turned on. If you want the atomizing air to turn on before the robot reaches the destination position, set BS on ant-time to a positive number. If you want the atomizing air to turn on after the robot reaches the destination position, set BS on ant-time to a negative number. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen. .

BS off ant-time *,***

default: 0 msec

min: -1000 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the destination position and when the atomizing air is turned OFF. If you want the atomizing air to turn OFF before the robot reaches the destination position, set BS off ant-time to a positive number. If you want the atomizing air to turn OFF after the robot reaches the destination position, set BS off ant-time to a negative number. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Pre-pressure time***

default: 0 ms

This item is used to adjust the invoking time of the pre-pressure signal.

De-pressure time

default: 0 ms

This item is used to adjust the invoking time of the de-pressure signal.

Correction factor

default: 1.0

min: 0.1

max: 10.0

This item allows you to fine tune material flow. This is especially useful when dispensing material around corners. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Correction bias

default: 0.0

min: -100

max: 100

This item allows you to adjust the bead width of corners which reside within the seal segment. This value does not affect the bead width of any straight line paths. When the Square flow model is enabled, this item is used to adjust the bead width of whole seal segment.

SS time offset***

This item allows you to adjust the time interval between the gun on signal and the flow rate signal.

SE time offset***

This item allows you to adjust the time interval between the gun off signal and flow rate signal.

Ch2 type **

This item defines how the Analog 2 (A2) will be measured. The following A2 types are available:

  • TCPP Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using TCP speed prediction

  • PROG Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using programmed speed prediction

  • CONST Bead Width - Bead width (mm), using no speed prediction

  • Percentage

  • TCPP Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using TCP speed prediction

  • PROG Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using programmed speed prediction

  • CONST Volume - Volume (cc/meter), using no speed prediction

  • Volts

  • Pressure (psi)

  • Pressure (bar)

  • TCPP Volts

  • TCPP percentage

  • PROG volts

  • PROG percentage

Ch2 amount **

This item specifies the desired rate of Analog 2. The units used correspond to the A2 type you have selected.

Ch2 equip ant-time *

*default: 0 msec

min: 0 msec

max: 1000 msec

This item indicates the anticipation time between when the robot reaches the taught position and when material is dispensed from the gun. A larger value of equipment delay will cause the gun to turn on earlier. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Ch2 additn ant-time **

This item indicates the additional anticipation time of the equipment. Additional delays might be required when equipment receives a decreasing flow rate command signal. This item only applies to the flow type of TCPP or PROG.

Ch2 correction factor **

This item allows you to fine tune material flow. This is especially useful when dispensing material around corners. This information is displayed only on the DETAIL screen.

Ch2 correction bias **

This item allows you to adjust the bead width of corners which reside within the seal segment. This value does not affect the bead width of any straight line paths.

* Displayed if Beadshaping air (atomizing air) is used.

** Displayed if Channel 2 Analog is enabled.

*** This item is also a Process Signal timing parameter .
