Operating modes
The machine is either in normal mode, or slow mode. In both normal and slow mode the
rollers can rotate in forward or in reverse direction.
5.2.1
Normal forward mode
Normal forward mode can be activated from standstill when slow mode is not active.
The rotation speed of the rollers in normal mode is set via the speed control knob.
Rotation is started when the forward button is pressed and stopped when the stop button
is pressed.
When the footswitch is pressed, operation control is taken over by the footswitch and the
rollers will rotate forward until the footswitch is released.
To return control to the control panel without stopping;
1. press and hold the forward button,
2. release the footswitch
3. and then release the forward button.
Rotation is stopped when the stop button is pressed.
An interruption of the light beam of the optical safety device will also stop the rotation of
the rollers. After the interruption is removed, the forward button must be pressed to
continue the process.
5.2.2
Reverse mode
Reverse roller rotation can only be started from stand still by pressing the reverse button.
CAUTION:
The rolls at unwind and comby positions will not rewind the material.
Reverse rotation is indicated by the LED next to the reverse button and is stopped when
the stop button is pressed.
The speed is determined by the speed control knob.
WARNING:
KEEP CLEAR OF THE REAR SIDE NIP WHEN RUNNING IN REVERSE
MODE.
When running in reverse, the optical safety device (at the front side nip) is disabled.
Reverse rotation at slow mode speed is not possible.
