as Transfer type to monitor the mechanism for dropped parts during the transfer.
When programming an input for transfer type, the operator must enter crankshaft angles to mark ON
and OFF points for a timing 'window' during which the transfer will occur (see “Programming
Window Setpoints” in Section 2). The Window ON setpoint should be set to an angle just after the
part is gripped. The window OFF setpoint should be set to an angle just before the part is released
into the next stage of the die (see Figure 3.5). With this type, the input must remain closed
throughout the entire timing window or an error will occur.
Section 3.4 In Position
In Position type inputs are used to monitor whether material is fully fed into the die on each cycle
of the press. A sensor should be used to detect when the material to be fabricated is fully fed into
the die. Figure 3.6 illustrates two examples of the use of sensors with inputs programmed as In
Position type.
When programming an input for In Position type,
the operator must enter crankshaft angles to mark
ON and OFF points for a timing 'window' during
which the material will move into place (see
