11.1. StepCure Profiles
StepCure profiles are the set of instructions that will be used to automate a task on your
production line.
Simple profiles are instructions that run one or several UV exposures after an associated
trigger. These profiles will satisfy most production requirements for automated curing. For
example, a simple profile may expose once for 0.5 seconds at 80% relative intensity, after a
foot-pedal trigger. Every subsequent foot-pedal trigger can repeat this exposure.
The following image is another example of a very simple StepCure profile. The profile will cure
for 2.0 seconds at 10% intensity with an added dwell period of 2.0 seconds. The start/stop
button on the unit will be the trigger for this exposure.
Anatomy of a StepCure profile
1. StepCure Profile - the set of
instructions to execute
2. A single instruction (row) or
StepCure step
3. StepCure element - the
building block for the
instruction
A StepCure profile can have up to 30 steps.
More advanced profiles can integrate process equipment with your S2000 Elite system. Users
can program input and output signals to/from external devices directly into their sequences.
For example, a user may require automatic readying of the next product to be cured. The
StepCure engine can be programmed to run a conveyor belt for a few seconds after the
previous exposure is completed.
The level of automation possible with StepCure minimizes operator interactions and ensures
consistent performance and higher production throughput. Further, to achieve identical
operational behavior across your fleet of units, a StepCure profile can be easily distributed
using the import/export feature.
