6.11 Pre-set Purge Parameters
You can set the Purge Parameters
at any time while the Purge Wiz-
ard is on the screen. This picture
shows the Purge Wizard settings
at default value, and they are as
follows:
Recommended Cycles – This
value is the recommended num-
ber of times that the entire purging
process is repeated. The recom-
mended cycles is displayed in the
bottom left of the purge wizard.
Although this value should be
followed by the operator, it does
not restrict the amount of cycles
that can be done. For example if
the color is acceptable before the
number of recommended cycles are completed the operator has the
option to nish the process early based on their discretion.
The maximum setting for Recommended Cycles is 5 cycles - if you
nd that this seems to be insufcient for your particular tool then
please contact your supplier for further advice.
Purge Material – This is the amount of purging material that the
operator will be instructed to add to the machine. This value can be
entered in either kilograms or pounds. The unit for weight can be
changed in the menu that comes up after choosing [
Cong] under
the ‘Setup’ tab from the main screen. The maximum value that one
can enter is 200kg or 440 lbs.
Purge Cycles – ‘Purge Cycles’ is the number of cycles that the oper-
ator is instructed to run using the purging material. This setting is only
applicable to the chemical purging process and does not apply to the
mechanical process.
The maximum value for this setting is 1000.
Normal Cycles – ‘Normal Cycles’ is the number of cycles that the
operator is instructed to run using the normal production material.
The maximum value for this setting is also 1000.
Soak Time This setting is the amount of time in minutes that the
purging material should be left to soak. A timer will count down the
time remaining. This setting is only applicable to the chemical purging
process and does not apply to the mechanical process.
The maximum value for this setting is 10 minutes.
Factory Settings - the default settings that you can re-select at any
time.
