Theory of Operation

S
A geared-tooth flow meter is installed on top of the hose manifold.
S
A product trigger senses products from leading edge to leading edge as it
moves along the production line. Adhesive is measured over the product
detector's pitch to provide an average adhesive weight per product, even
if there are multiple dispensing stations in different locations on the
production line. A skip count is used to ignore products at startup to
ensure that all applicators are applying adhesive before the system
begins monitoring products
Setup involves ensuring that the flow meter is accurately measuring the
amount of adhesive, referred to as add-on, applied to products. Upon initial
startup, the Target Add-On value must be either manually entered or "taught"
to the system. During the teaching process, the ATS measures 8 grams of
adhesive or 10 products (whichever is greater) to calculate the Target
Add-On.
NOTE:
S
The Target add-On value is overwritten after each Teach process.
Setting up ATS is a four-step process:
S
Step 1: Calibrate the flow meter
S
Step 2: Define Product Settings
S
Step 3: Either "Teach" or manually enter the Target Add-on value
S
Step 4: Defining ATS Alarms
The following sections detail each step in greater detail.
