configurations in memory. Press < to complete
the selection and return to the previous screen.
c. Touch the Spool Length box to enter the length
of cable available on the spool (Figure 14).
The C3 machine will monitor the cable length
remaining on the spool throughout a job run.
d. Touch ON or OFF in the Inspect 1st Piece box
to toggle between ON and OFF. ON is indicated
by the yellow ON and an OFF selection is not
yellow. If Inspect 1st Piece is ON, only one
whip configuration will be made for inspection
purposes when the Cycle Start box is pressed.
The HMI screen will show the 1st piece in
progress and inspect & measure the completed
whip (Figure 14A). When the 1st piece whip is
completed, the HMI screen will show "1st Piece
OK? " (Figure 14B).

Accuracy

The accuracy of the C3 is ±2" and ±3% of the
desired whip length. This accuracy applies after the
programmed whip length has been modified to
account for any inaccuracy in the actual lengths being
cut. Using the first piece inspection feature is a good
way to determine this inaccuracy.
For example, if a 60" Whip Length is desired, but the
machine is consistently cutting approximately a 65"
whip, try decreasing the Whip Length to 55". After this,
the accuracy of the machine will be ±2" and ±3% of
Whip Length. For example, a 60" whip could be:
MAX LENGTH: 60 + (2 + 60*.03) = 63.8")
MAX LENGTH: 60 - (2 + 60*.03) = 56.2")
See figure 15 for a visual representation of the
tolerance range.

Load Cable

For smaller coils, use the Greenlee 37218 Dispenser.
Locate the Dispenser so the cable leaving on the
outside of the coil is level with the inlet horn on the
cutting machine and approximately 7 ft. away. If the
cable is removed from the inside of the coil, use a cable
roller, spindle, and stands so cable entering the inlet
horn on the cutting machine is level and approximately
7 ft. away (see figures below).
