The length factor works as:
DriveLength=HMI_Length*(LengthFactor/100)
Example 1:
HMI_Length=1000.0mm
LengthFactor = 100%
DriveLength=1000.0*(100/100)=1000.0mm
The drive will trigger the cut when the length of the product is equal to the
lengthspeciedintheHMI.
Example 2:
HMI_Length=1000.0mm
Length Factor = 90%
DriveLength:=1000.0*(90/100)=1000.0*0.9=900.0mm
The drives will trigger the cut before the product has reached the length
speciedintheHMI.
Example 3:
HMI_Length=1000.0mm
Length Factor = 110%
DriveLength:=1000.0*(110/100)=1000.0*1.1=1100.0mm
The drives will trigger the cut after the product has reached the length specied
intheHMI.
To sum up:
The length factor should be really close to 0%
If the cut pieces are shorter than expected set Length Factor > 100 %
If the cut pieces are longer than expected set Length Factor < 100n%
Blade Datum (Blue Display):
This is the position (from 0° to 360°) that the blade will come to rest at. It has been
calibrated at the factory to rest 180° from the cut point.
Blade Speed (Blue Display):
This is the value of the blade speed in % of its capable maximum. It should be set
to ensure a good cut quality with enough force to cut through the desired product.
