The gear change requires the use of password - Master code (listed in the warranty card) as a confirmation that the change is done by an authorized person. After pressing ENTER the initial setup is complete. This means that the wire guide is shifted to left home (zero) position - zero number of turns, step 0 and the last programme is set.
5.2 Backup of winding data in case of an electricity drop In this window the initial setting of the machine (wire guide position, number of turns and step) can be activated. After the activation of this function (MEM.POS.ON) will be updated with values as they were before the electricity drop.
5.3 Winding and programming window There are two basic windows. Winding window - provides actual information about the winding process Actual state Winding corrections Step Number of turns Wire guide position and direction Next step Steps list Terminal Coil name Exit Step change Pedal speed...
5.5 Winding programme selection The winding programme we are currently using with (winding or programme creation can be performed) is called ACTUAL PROGRAMME. Actual programme is located in so-called working part of memory. Desired winding programme can be loaded to the working part of memory either from PC memory, USB flash drive or a LAN network.
5.7 Foot pedal Winding machine may be equipped with the following types of foot pedal: Double foot pedal controls START, BRAKE RELEASE - left pedal releases the spindle brake - right pedal works in parallel with the START-button Double foot pedal controls SPEED, BRAKE RELEASE - left pedal releases the spindle brake - right foot pedal controls spindle speed depending how hard the pedal is pressed.
If we require the same maximum pedal speed as speed programmed in the current programme step, we need to press the PARAMETERS FROM PROGRAM button. Max. pedal speed is controlled by values programmed in individual programme steps. Winding cycle start continuity This option is utilized during winding start.
