SPEEDGLIDER  ADVANCED OPERATOR MANUAL
DESCRIPTION
Generates digital electronic pulses that represent the position, speed of the
SpeedGlider
Cleans and regulates the incoming air supply, indicates a lockout valve, primary
particulate filter, coalescing filter, reject supply regulator, and an SpeedGlider supply
regulator.
The calculated maximum amount of time to perform the leak test. This calculation is
based on the following factors: Max Fill Time, Test 1, Test 2, Probe-Retract and CPM
(containers per minute).
Containers Per Hour / Containers Per Minute
Photo-eye that senses a backlog of containers at the exit.
Test result displays the pressure in the container at the end of Test 1.
Test result displays the pressure in the container at the end of Test 2.
The pressure used to fill the container. This pressure is set in PSI.
When blocked by a backlog of containers, the SpeedGlider will accelerate to Fast
speed or decelerate to Normal speed when unblocked or when the backlog is cleared.
The Solenoid valve that controls the air used to pressurize the container.
An acronym meaning: Human Machine Interface. This is also referenced as the
Operator Touch Screen.
Inches at water column. (One inch of water = 27.7 iWC = 1 PSI).
Speed Mode where the SpeedGlider runs at a pre-set speed, regardless of the
backlog or the presence of containers.
Acronym for Photo-eye. An electronic sensor for container status communication to
the PLC.
An acronym for Programmable Logic Controller.
A set of test setting values that can be saved and used for a particular container.
An acronym for Test 1 which refers to the maximum allowed pressure percent loss during test
one (T1).
An acronym for Test 1 which refers to the minimum allowed pressure percent loss during Test
one (T1). Note: This is normally set to "0" as any container with a loss lower than this is
rejected.
An acronym for Test results for Test 1 which refers to the total pressure loss during Test one
(T1).
An acronym for Test results for Test 2 which refers to the maximum allowed pressure percent
loss during test two (T2).
An acronym for Test results for Test 2 which refers to the maximum during test two (T2).
Test 1 function where the applied pressure must reach the target pressure for the test to begin.
If target pressure is reached, the pressure loss must not exceed the maximum percentage
amount allowed during the allotted time or the container will be rejected.
Test 2 function begins when test 1 is completed and no rejects have occurred. During Test 2,
the pressure loss must not exceed the maximum percentage amount allowed during the
allotted time or the container will be rejected.
When performing a self-test, a pressure path to a test orifice is opened. The orifice size can
help determine the size of the leak that can be detected based on current test settings.
