1128500 WPC 2000 User Manual
4-12 Operation
When performing the following procedure, make sure to press both Run/Inch buttons on each
installed Operator Station within the 1/2 second palm time (“synchronous” time in ANSI
terminology) and all pairs of Run/Inch buttons on all installed Operator Stations within the
5 second concurrent time. Also, confirm that the setting on S102 switch 6 is correct for your
Operator Station setup (see page 3-33).
To run the press, using Single-stroke, Two-hand operation, do the following:
1. With the Mode Select switch set to “2 HAND,” initiate a stroke by pressing both Run/Inch
buttons, holding them until the ram reaches the Auto Carry-up Angle, then releasing them
(see Setting the Auto Carry-up Angle, page 3-13). The ram completes its stroke
automatically, stopping at Top-stop.
If one or both Run/Inch buttons are released before the ram reaches the Auto Carry-up
Angle, the press stops. The press will also be stopped on the downstroke if a system fault
is detected or a light curtain is blocked.
Single-stroke, One-hand Operation
Single-stroke, One-hand operation can only be used with WPC 2000 systems running
Two-hand/One-hand/Foot firmware, equipped with a Mode Select key switch, and employing
a Shadow light curtain to guard the point of operation. To run the press in this mode, do the
following:
1. With the Mode Select switch set to “1 HAND,” initiate a stroke by pressing the left Run/
Inch palm button, then releasing it. The ram completes its stroke automatically, stopping
at Top-stop.
TWO-HAND CONTROL TOO CLOSE TO HAZARDOUS AREA
Verify at each shift change that any moveable Two-hand controls are located at least the safety
distance from the pinch point or hazardous area.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Both Run/Inch palm buttons on each Operator Station must be pressed within 1/2 second.
Each pair of Run/Inch buttons on all Operator Stations must be pressed within 5 seconds.
Make sure that the setting on S102 switch 6 is correct for your setup (see page 3-33).
INCORRECT INSTALLATION
You must install a Shadow light curtain correctly and connect it to WPC 2000 properly in order to
run the press in Single-stroke, One-hand mode.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
