Introduction 1-3
Operator Station
The Operator Station is normally the device used to run the press in all Stroke Select positions.
Wintriss provides operator stations with Run/Inch palm switches mounted on either the top or
sides (see
Installing Operator Station(s)
, page 2-12 for available configurations). Figure 1-2
shows the switches and indicator lamps on an Operator Station with side-mounted Run/Inch
palm switches. Functions of these components are shown below.
• Run/Inch Palm Switches (2)–Initiate press action when both switches are pressed at the
same time (Two-hand mode) or when only the left switch is pressed (One-hand mode).
• Prior Act Lamp and Switch–An arming device that must be pressed in Continuous Two-
hand and Continuous Foot operating modes before a stroke can be initiated. When the
switch is pressed, the lamp illuminates for 8 seconds, indicating the interval within which
the operator must press the Run/Inch buttons or Foot Switch in order to stroke the press.
Also used in Automatic Single-stroke operation (see page 4-16).
• Emergency Stop Switch–Stops the press immediately when you push it. The switch is not
spring-loaded, so you must pull it back to its original position to clear the emergency stop
(F13) fault (see page 5-7).
• Top Stop Switch–Stops the press at the top of its stroke when pressed during Continuous
operation.
• Palm Time Lamp–Illuminates when one Run/Inch palm button is depressed, turning off
after the 1/2 second palm time (“synchronous” time in ANSI terminology) on a standalone
Operator Station or the 5 second concurrent time on multiple Operator Stations. The other
palm button on a standalone Op. Station or all pairs of buttons on multiple Operator
Stations must be pressed before the lamp turns off in order to initiate a stroke.
• Mute Lamp–Illuminates during muting of the light curtain on the upstroke. Requires
installation of a Shadow light curtain and optional light curtain muting firmware.
