Move Settings
Use the positioner configuration screen to set the values for Default and
Minimum Moves.
Default Move Settings: Default move settings apply to all parts
that have no positioner preset settings. To create part-specific moves, refer
to Section 6, Positioner Presets.
Minimum Move Settings: The minimum move settings are the
minimum limits for all Positioner Presets. The minimum settings override
the preset settings and prevent collisions.
Lead and Lag Overlap: If two parts of different widths are moving through
the booth and their lead and lag settings overlap, then the gun-to-part
distance for the widest part takes precedence to avoid collisions between
guns and parts.
NOTE: To prevent gun/part collisions, all move settings must take into
account the part dimensions and the conveyor and positioner speed.
Minimum and Default Move Settings
Lead Distance from the guns to the leading edge of the part. When the part
reaches this point, the positioner starts moving to the gun-to-part setting.
Positive lead: Moves the guns BEFORE the leading edge of the part
reaches them.
Negative lead: Moves the guns AFTER the leading edge of the part
reaches them.
Lag Distance from the guns to the trailing edge of the part. When the part
reaches this point, the positioner starts moving inward or outward,
depending on the configuration settings.
Positive lag: Moves the guns AFTER the trailing edge of the part
reaches them.
Negative lag: Moves the guns BEFORE the trailing edge of the part
reaches them.
Gun-To-Part Distance to maintain between guns and parts as parts go by guns.
