ASDA-A3 Motion Control
 Miscutting prevention mechanism
Sometimes the position of the packing content shifts on the chain conveyor, so the cutter might
cut the content, causing damage to the cutter or machine. To avoid this issue, install a sensor
for preventing miscutting. When the sensor detects no packing contents, it means the content is
7
not in the right position and the miscutting prevention mechanism needs to be activated. To use
this mechanism, set the following conditions: the clutch remains engaged when Servo Off, the
E-Cam curve scaling (P5.019) starts taking effect upon the next engagement, and return to the
pre-engage status after disengagement.
When DO: CAM_AREA1 is rising-edge triggered and the sensor detects no packing content, use
the DI event to trigger the PR path and activate the miscutting prevention mechanism. Use Macro
#F to calculate the deviation between the cutter axis current position and the target position, and
write this deviation data to the specified PR number. Set the E-Cam curve scaling (P5.019) to 0
and use Macro #8 to activate the scaling setting. When the master axis keeps operating and the
clutch is engaged, the cutter will pause because the scaling setting is 0. After Macro #8 is
triggered, the E-Cam curve scaling (P5.019) is reset to the original value. Meanwhile, execute the
PR incremental position command specified in Macro #F to return the cutter to the specified
position and wait for the pre-enagagement cycle to complete, and then the cutter keeps operating
when it is re-engaged.
