Other Eject Features

The QDC Module gives you the following additional features:

the ability to repeat the ejector cycle a number of times, changing from

advance to retract determined either automatically or by command from
your PLC program

Ejector Forward Dwell - the ability to pause after completing the first or

last ejector advance stroke. Use this feature so a robot can pick off a
part when ejectors are fully extended

Ejector “Tip” Strokes - the ability to “shake” the part off the ejector.

You may program interim single-segment advance and retract tip strokes
that occur after the first advance stroke and before the last retract stroke
