9. Clamping pressure basic adjustments
9.1 Amplifier card setting instructions
1. Set the safety valve to maximum pressure
2. Bring pot P7 to middle position; note that it is a 20 turn setting device.
3. Feed in the maximum command signal.
(A setting of 100 % on the display corresponds to approx. 8.5 V at terminals 4/5 of
the amplifier card input.)
Start the machine for cutting; if the clamp does not move readjust pots P4 and P6
about three turns in clockwise direction.
Use P2 to set a voltage of 6.2 V between measuring points MP1 and MP2.
4. Bring the command signal to maximum (5 % corresponds to some 0.5 V).
Use trimming pot P4 to set the maximum actual value.
The critical value is at a solenoid current of some 1.0 A or at a minimum pressure
of 7 bar.
The current depends on the solenoid temperature.
5. Bring the output voltage from the computer to 100 % and use P6 to set the machine-
specific maximum pressure plus approx. 3 bar.
6. Set the maximum pressure on the display and adjust the safety valve on the machine-
specific pressure as shown in the table below.
Use a load cell to check the minimum and maximum clamp pressing force values.
