PRETEST FOR KBX FEED AND PRESS WITHOUT MATERIAL
Now that your KBX feed unit has been mounted and the cables have been attached,
you can proceed with testing the unit. The first step is to turn on the main disconnect
switch on the electrical enclosure. Next, at the operator’s console, pull the power on-
off button to the on position. The button should illuminate to indicate that there is
power to the system.
The Pacific Scientific drive preforms an initial sequence to check it’s internal program.
At this time the display should show the Rapid-Air screen for 5 seconds before starting
the main setup program. If you are comfortable with programming a job then continue,
it not, please refer to the “Programming Procedure” located in this manual.
Follow the programming sequence for the operators terminal to input parameters into
job storage. Your servo feed has been fully tested before it was shipped to your facility
and this procedure is merely a test to insure that all functions are still functional and the
cables are properly seated.
Select the “inch” function (F2 on keypad) on the manual mode screen. Visually check
that the rolls rotate forward when pressing the inch forward key. The speed is preset
to creep the rolls at a slow speed for manual positioning of the material.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to place your fingers or any foreign material into the rolls.
Injury to the operator or damage to the servo rolls could result.
After you have verified that the rolls are operational, you can experiment with the single
cycle moves. The procedure is outlined in the programming section of this manual.
Now, you can cycle the press and watch the rolls to verify that the signal from the
press window switch signal is functional and actuating at the proper time.
After all the checks have been made and you feel comfortable with the programming
of the servo controller, place the controller in automatic mode. Now cycle the press in
either the inch, single stroke or continous run, the servo feed should react upon the
closure of the press window and signal and simulate a feed progression of material.
