LineMaster
XC-3 Startup – Using G2's Yield Screen
Before startup, make sure material is available at the fill valve of the Loss-in-weight hopper.
Setting Voltages for each Extruder
1. With the LineMaster Extruder Speed Control in the MANUAL
position, turn main power of LineMaster (XCC) Controller ON
Display will read: 0.0 K/h EXTRUSION UNLOCKED
2. At the LineMaster Extruder Speed Control begin increasing the
voltage by rotating the ADJUST pot clockwise. Rotate ADJUST
pot until desired RPM (voltage) is attained. As material begins to
flow through the Loss-in-weight hopper and into the extruder, an
actual rate of throughput is displayed.
Do this for each extruder's LineMaster Extruder Speed Control.
3. At the LineMaster Take-Off Speed Control begin increasing the
voltage by rotating the ADJUST pot clockwise. Rotate ADJUST
pot until desired Line Speed (voltage) is attained.
4. After the Line running for a period of time, view your Yield Screen
in G2. Verify that G2 is showing your Extruder Speed Control
voltages, your throughput values, your take-off voltage and line
speed, and your grams per length.
5. Adjust your target percent for each extruder – To adjust your
target percent, click the Target % field of any of your extruders.
6. A Target Percent keypad window will appear. On the right of this
window will be a list of your extruders by ID number. To the right
of each ID number is the current percent of each extruder (column
is labeled %). The far-right column is where your new Target
Percent will be enter. To enter a new percent, click the row of
your extruders ID's row to select that extruder. Using the keypad,
enter the new percent. Select each extruder by clicking the row,
then using the keypad, enter the percent. The total of all
percentages must add up to 100%, indicated by Red (not = to
100% or Green (= to 100%) color of the total percent field). When
satisfied with the percentages, click the Close and Download All
Percentages button.
