Page 21 / 48 5.5 Start up Before starting the PAViX, ensure a properly charged battery is in place in the holder located at the rear of the staking-tool. To start the PAViX, simply press and hold the button located on the right-hand side of the LCD screen.
The system uses a barrel configuration common to all programs. This configuration can be displayed from the barrel configuration menu. Furthermore, when this menu is displayed, the PAViX motorised stop places itself in the upper position so as to facilitate the loading/unloading of cleats.
5.6.3 Time/Date The PAViX offers extended traceability options. For these to be relevant, it is required to set the time on the PAViX clock. This setting is done from the “Time/Date” menu. The selected field is underlined. To change its value, use the barrel and validate with the right-hand side button.

5.6.7 LED The PAViX also provides the option to indicate the hand fitting status in three different colours: orange if the force is below tolerance, green if the force is within the tolerance range and red if the maximum force is exceeded.

For automatic selection by bar code, the user uses the bar code scanner to select a program. The link between a bar code and a program is done in the PAViX HMI (Refer to § 4.3 Management of the bar code database, page 10).
Press the spindle down so the cleat comes into contact with the movement and the light turns green (meaning the force has been reached). When it is green for >2s, the PAViX records the reference.

6.3.1.2 Taking movement holder reference with the scanner Using the bar code reader streamlines taking of reference 0. The PAViX provides the option to store the heights of the part-holder so as to avoid recording this reference when starting the program. To do this, the part-holders must have bar codes.
Figure 54: Hand fitting result screen When the user selects an active cleat (by turning the barrel), the PAViX automatically adjusts the stop height as well as the information displayed on the screen. During the adjustment of the height, the luminous surface flashes blue.

PAViX screen Comment(s) If ID traceability is enabled and a scanner is connected, the PAViX prompts the operator to enter a movement identification bar code.
Page 39 / 48 6.3.3 Hand-setting operation results The PAViX is used to carry out hand-setting operations on an industrial scale. Productivity is critical while maintaining operation traceability and control. The result of a hand-setting operation is determined based on the force applied to the hand when the spindle comes into contact with the stop.
Page 40 / 48 In order to manage cases very close to the upper limit, the PAViX is equipped with an intelligent system that takes into account human reaction time (0.1s). If the measured force exceeds the max tolerance by less than 10% in a time interval smaller than 0.1s before stop detection, the operation is considered successful.
