Section 6 – Operation
For Model 36A/36B or Model 360: When the Model 860 is powered on and correctly interfaced
with the Model 36A/36B or Model 360, press the MENU button to toggle through the processor
options and press ENTER when “WIRE COILER” is shown. Press CLEAR to toggle between
“WIRE COILER ON” and “WIRE COILER OFF” and press ENTER.
For Model 93 or Model 97A: When the Model 860 is powered on and correctly interfaced with
the Model 93 or Model 97A, press the MENU button to toggle through the processor options and
press ENTER when “WIRE COILER ON/OFF” is shown. On the left side of the material
processing machine front panel, press the corresponding “ON” or “OFF” arrow to toggle the
wire coiler function off or on and press ENTER.
For Model 930 or Model 970: When the Model 860 is powered on and correctly interfaced with
the Model 930 or Model 970, press the WIRE COILER ON/OFF button on the Model 930 or
Model 970 to enable use of the Model 860 in conjunction with the material processing machine.
Automatic Operation
1. Perform a single cycle “dry-run” to ensure that the Model 860 coiling bowl turns on and
off under control of the material processing machine. Without material loaded, input data
into the material processing machine and press ENTER. To run the single cycle, press
the SINGLE CYCLE button (TEST CYCLE button for Model 930 or Model 970) on
the material processing machine.
2. When successful operation of the Model 860 is verified, load material into the material
processing machine. For information on how to load material, please see the operator’s
manual for the material processing machine.
3. To determine the ideal speed at which the Model 860 coiling bowl spins, run a single
finished piece by pressing the SINGLE CYCLE button (TEST CYCLE button for
Model 930 or Model 970). Observe the material as it coils in the coiling bowl. The
speed “RANGE ADJUST” control should be adjusted so that the material coil forms
loosely in the coiling bowl. It may be necessary to change the speed range by switching
to a faster or slower range by pressing the appropriate speed “RANGE SELECT” switch
(SPD1 through SPD4) and adjusting the speed “RANGE ADJUST” control to the desired
speed within that range.
a. If the Model 860 coiling bowl speed is set too fast, how the material reacts will
depend on the composition of the material. Material with less memory and more
flexibility will likely coil to a smaller diameter than the desired diameter as
determined by the machined coiling bowl insert set. Material with more memory
and more rigidity will likely not coil successfully in the coiling bowl.
