actuation block A graphical indicator on the Sensor Status screen in Run mode,
showing whether a sensor is actuated.
actuation A change in the state or condition of a sensor.
actuation angle See dwell.
ANSI Stands for American National Standards Institute, a U.S.
clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards
activity on the national level.
auto advance A ProCamPAC feature that allows cam channels to be
programmed for speed-sensitive functions (e.g., feed advance,
pilot release, etc.) on variable speed presses. A channel
programmed as Auto Advance automatically advances cam
timing as the speed of the press increases and delays timing as
speed decreases. The rate of advance or delay is controlled by an
advance constant, a specified number of degrees of advance for
each 100 SPM increase in press speed.
Auto-compensated
Top-stop (ACTS)
A WPC 1000/2000 feature, designed specifically for variable
speed presses, that adjusts the top-stop angle automatically as
press speed changes or the brake wears.
auto enable by sensor A die protection mode in which an individual sensor is
automatically actuated after a specified number of strokes.
auto enable by tool A die protection mode in which all sensors in a tool are
automatically actuated after a specified number of strokes.
batch counter One of three counters that can be set to increment when either the
good parts or strokes counter increments and to either top-stop
the press or signal programmable limit switch (PLS) outputs
when its preset is reached. See counter.
brake monitor A SmartPAC 2 feature that checks for brake wear.
cam channels Relays that open and close on signals from the programmable
cam switch to turn auxiliary equipment on and off at specified
crankshaft angles.
