If your machine does not have the Pre-Process called Slit+Perf, you should
upgrade your software.
Modified to run special harness/slitting mode where individual parts with multiple center (window) strips
are possible. There are several pre-requisites for this feature to function:
* The slitter option must be mounted.
* The Cutterhead must be in single blade configuration.
* The “Special single blade Center Strip harness mode” flag in Machine Configuration must be set.
* The part is defined as a succession of Part (.PRT) programs in a Job (.JOB) program run in
Harness mode.
* Each part of the Job must have the slitter programmed and activated.
In this mode the CS326 will only cut off the wire at the end of each harness resulting in a single part
defined by the harness program elements. The job does not cycle stop at the end of each harness as in
normal run mode. The harness loop count now defines the number of total parts made.
What does this mean?
This mode provides a method for a customer to do multiple center (window) stripping where the customer
is willing to peal the jacket and insulation out of center strip windows. The critical feature of this mode
is that the wire is not cut between parts that define the harness. The wire is only cut between each
harness. The customer can define a part which has multiple (up to 253) window strips of various widths
and placement along the part. The CS326 does not actually remover the insulation at these points but
rather perforates the insulation to the programmed depth, at the programmed strip shoulders and slits it
longitudinally from perforation to perforation so that the insulation can be removed latter. With 2.08-m
and above this works. A window can be defined where the outer jacket is perforated in a wide window
and the inner conductor insulation is perforated in a smaller contained window. The outer jacket is slit
the entire length of the wider windows defined.
Take a look at the example part drawing. (Drawing is not to scale, segments of the jacket which are not
slit have been compressed.)
To do this notice that the single part has been subdivided into four smaller segments each of which can be
defined using the normal part (.PRT) definition of the CS326. The special mode allows you to program
these parts and list them in proper order inside a JOB program. When this JOB is run as a harness with
the special mode activated the CS326 will not cut the wire between parts at 1-2, 2-3 & 3-4 therefor
manufacturing the desired single part.
Look at the listing of variables for part 1, 2, 3 and 4. Notice that in addition to the length of the segment,
strip lengths and diameters that the Slitter type pre process is specified and values are programmed which
will slit from each large strip shoulder to the corresponding end of the part segment. This is necessary
for the function to work.
As the insulation is perforated and the outer jacket slit at locations other than the end of the wire, the slug
pull function is NOT implemented when running in this special mode.
