4.2.3 Pull Cycle
A typical pull cycle in a program line is described below:
1. The heat turns on.
2. The filament heats up, the glass softens, and a weak pull draws the glass out until it
reaches the programmed velocity.
3. When the programmed velocity has been reached, the heat turns off, and the air turns on
to cool the filament and glass.
4. If TIME is greater than 0 (zero), the hard pull (if any) is executed after a short delay and
then the air is activated for the specified TIME.
If DELAY is greater than 0 (zero), the air is activated for a short period and then the hard
pull is activated after the specified DELAY.
