Jog Your Machine
This chapter describes how to:
configure all jog block values necessary to jog your ram (screw)
test jog values and make changes, if necessary
configure values which may indirectly affect clamp and eject jogs
Jogging your machine is similar to operating it in set-output operation:
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:
rotate the ram (screw)
jog it forward and backward
Although the QDC module (in inject mode) may not be directly controlling
your machine’s clamp and ejector jogs, your hydraulics may require that
valves connected to your QDC module outputs go to a certain position to
assure proper clamp and ejector jog functions. The QDC jog configuration
block allows you to set up these indirect jog values.
The following table lists the command block and corresponding
worksheets for recording initial values to configure the QDC module for
jogging the ram (screw), clamp and ejector.
