5.2 Initial Data Setting
After completion of the System verification/power on procedure in Section 5.1, the system is ready for
the input of data required for the fastening operation. Chapters 6 and 7 give details on the types of
information required, and the procedure for entering data into the System. The system will not run
until this data is correctly set-up.
Programming for Multiple Spindle applications should be performed using the FEC Inc. “AFC User-
console” software to simplify the programming operation and to provide a means of creating a back-
up file of the Set-up.
NOTE:Most AFC1500 systems are delivered with application-specific fastening data already setup (if
provided by customer). This set-up data is considered preliminary and should be adjusted according
to actual process / part runs for optimal performance.
After the system is setup with the appropriate data, verify all San unit RUN/BYPASS switches are set
to RUN. Perform the following procedure by attaching the Display and Programming Unit:
1. Check the transducer ZERO output.
P Press the RESET button on front of the Keyboard-display Unit. The San unit will output a number
(voltage) to the DATA display and the "ACCEPT" LED will light. (See NOTE 1 below.)
2. Check the transducer CAL output.
P Press the RESET button on front of the Keyboard-display Unit. The San Units will output a num-
ber (voltage) to the DATA display and the "ACCEPT" LED will light. (See NOTE 1 below.)
NOTE 1: If the Zero and/or Cal check results in an "ABNORMAL" LED output from the San unit
refer to Section 9 for guidance.
WARNING:
VERIFY THERE ARE NO PERSONNEL OR OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE TOOL
AREA PRIOR TO ACTIVATING A SPINDLE OR OTHER MOVEABLE COMPONENT.
3. Check manual reverse operation.
A. Set the RUN/BYPASS switch on each San unit as follows:
1. Verify San unit #1 is set to RUN.
2. Set all other San Units to the BYPASS position.
B. Press the manual REV button on front of the Keyboard-display Unit. Verify that
spindle #1 is turning in the appropriate direction (opposite the preset direction), and
that all other spindles are motionless. (See NOTE 2 below.)
C. Switch San unit #1 to the BYPASS position. Switch San unit #2 to RUN,
and verify spindle #2 reverse operation (reference Step B).
D. Repeat this procedure for each San unit/spindle. It is important to complete
this step for each San unit/spindle prior to performing the next step.
E. After all San Units are verified individually, ensure that each of the BYPASS
switches are set to the RUN position. Press the REV button on the Main
Operator panel to operate all spindles simultaneously and verify all spindles operate.
NOTE 2: If any SAN unit fails to activate the appropriate spindle, correct the situation before
continuing to the next unit. First, check the nutrunner (tool) cables going to the SAN unit to
verify correct connections to the appropriate components.
