Compensation Time
To access Compensation Time Settings:
1. Highlight the Valve Setup Button, and then press OK.
a. The Valve Setup list menu will open.
2. Scroll down to “Ton,” “Toff,” or “Tmin” as required (see below).
On Compensation Time (Ton) - This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) from when the valve is activated to when
the glue is applied. Increasing the "ON" Compensation Time will move the start of the pattern forward.
Off Compensation Time (Toff) - This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) from when the valve is turned off to
when the adhesive application is stopped. Increasing the Off compensation time will make the glue line shorter.
Minimum Compensation Time (Tmin) - This is the time the valve will be open, no matter what the pattern length, the
machine speed, and the "OFF" Compensation Times are set at.
Ton and Toff are determined by running the machine at slow speed, checking glue pattern placement, and then
running the machine at high speed and checking glue placement.
If the pattern moves forward on the sheet, the compensation time is too high.
If the pattern moves back on the sheet, the compensation time is to short.
