Setting Up the EcoBead Capability (contd)
Table 4‐4 EcoBead Default and Optional Settings
Button Description Default Setting Optional Settings
Adhesive Savings
(available when Basic
Settings button is
selected)
Specifies the percentage of
adhesives savings the system will
achieve while still maintaining full
adhesive bond integrity
30 (percent) 40, 50, 60
(percent)
Beads per Pattern
(available when Basic
Settings button is
selected)
Specifies the number of beads in
the adhesive pattern of the selected
applicator. When the EcoBead
capability is enabled, each of the
beads in the selected applicator's
adhesive pattern are stitched to
achieve the specified adhesive
savings.
1 (bead per
pattern)
2-8 (beads per
pattern)
Bead Pattern
(available when Basic
Settings button is
selected)
Specifies one of ten
pre-programmed patterns (see
Figure 4‐9 for an example of the
bead pattern selections available
when 30% adhesive savings is
selected)
NOTE: Center beads may be
absent or adjusted slightly to meet
the desired adhesive savings. For
example, if 60% adhesive savings
is selected, then bead patterns 6, 7,
8, and 9 will result in a stitching
pattern with no center bead
because the desired savings of
60% is achieved with just the end
beads (100%-20%-20%=60%).
