The vacuum gauge (946) in each field registers the vacuum in it’s specific field. Even in
pendulum mode, the gauge is registering for its appropriate section of the machine. In the
event of a loss of vacuum during a cycle, the machine will stop on emergency.
There is no requirement for absolute accuracy in positioning the panel as the principle of
operation of the Vector Revolution senses the edge of the panel.
When placing the panel on the machine, it is important to consider the rotational capability
of the aggregate to ensure that it will not exceed it’s clockwise or anti-clockwise limits
during a cycle as this will cause an alarm shut down.
It is also important to consider the alignment of the head when doing a butt join so
as to be aligned in either the X or y axis. (Refer section 9.1.8.1)
It is also important to understand that when the head approaches a panel, it always
does so in either the X or the Y axis direction. Thus although it is not critical that
the face on which it makes contact first is aligned in the X or the Y, it is important
from the view of setting the start position so as to achieve the desired contact point
with the panel.
It is also important to consider the end conditions for when the head is going to
retract away from the panel. This also is performed exclusively in the X or the Y
direction so consideration must be made for which way this will occur. At 45
degrees, the direction transitions from one axis to the other.
