Jog Your Machine
This chapter describes how to:
configure jog block values necessary to jog the
ram (screw), clamp, and ejector
test jog values and make changes, if necessary
configure values which indirectly affect screw-rotate jogs
Jogging your machine is similar to operating in set-output mode:
You apply percentage values to your QDC module’s outputs to obtain the
desired motion. The jog configuration block (JGC) lets you set up jog
parameters to control QDC module outputs to jog the:
ram (screw) forward and backward
clamp open and closed
ejector advance and retract
Although the QDC module (in the inject, clamp, and eject mode) may not
directly control your machine’s screw-rotate jogs, your hydraulics may
require that valves connected to QDC module outputs assume a certain
position to assure proper screw-rotate jog functions. The QDC jog
configuration block allows you to set up these indirect jog values.
The following table lists the worksheets for recording initial values in the
JGC block to configure the QDC module for jogging the ram (screw),
clamp, and ejector.
