Overview Overview InvisiPac pattern control systems can be integrated with InvisiPac systems or stand alone with any other equipment. For all installations, the advanced display module (ADM) is used to make programming easy. PC-8 controllers operate in time or distance mode without an encoder. Up to 8 guns and 4 independent triggers are supported.

Stitching Stitching Stitching is used to reduce adhesive consumption while maintaining bond strength. Definitions Sub-Bead - One dispense cycle of a stitched bead. Stitch Interval - The distance between the starts of the adjacent sub-beads. Stitch Savings - The percentage of adhesive saved. Anchor Beads An anchor bead is a sub-bead placed at the end of the stitched bead that guarantees the stitched bead ends at the same location as the original (non-stitched) bead.
Random Length Bead Mode Random Length Bead Mode For handling products of various lengths with one pattern. To use random length bead mode, perform the following steps: 1. Navigate to Event Map, page 29. NOTE: The leading margin is equal to the trailing margin.
Mirror Mode Mirror Mode For symmetrical patterns, including products with varying lengths. To use mirror mode, perform the following steps: 1. Navigate to Event Map, page 29. 2. Verify gun-trigger offset for the selected gun is greater than or equal to the end of the final bead (final bead offset + length).
Calibration Calibration Recommended Values GM-100: 5-10 ms GS-35: 10-20 ms Gun Compensation (optional) Unknown, other: 10 ms Calibration Routine For high speed and precision applications. 1. Navigate to Gun Setup, page 33. NOTE: Before entering gun compensation values, make 2.
