For totally automatic operation, start each of the three functions above.  Do not Stop them.  As each subroutine completes, the PLC will automatically start the next routine.  Subroutines include:

Prefeed Start:  Engages infeed rollers to move material from material stand through horn assembly and into grippers.  Infeed roller moves at creep speeds to feed A and B grippers.

Feed Start:  Activates Grippers A & B together with infeed rollers at a higher speed (faster than creep) to move material from Machine C to Machine D.  Sensors on A and B open grippers and activate D-Exit Rollers (in creep speed) to advance material into Machine D.  Grippers A & B return to home position.

Pocket Start:  Starts by activating vacuum system on C & D.  Next Eastman cutter on “C” cuts material located near infeed rollers.  Rotomation/Finger is then activated to fold material on C & D.  Once folds are completed and held in place, all heat sealers are activated.  When all heat sealers are complete, PushUp Bars are activated to release sealed material.  D-Exit roller is then lowered and, in high speed, moves material out of the machine, through “D” Heat Sealer.

If PhotoEyes sensing end of Poster black marks does not “see” marks, then Pocket Start subroutine will not start, and instead “Registration Fault” light will illuminate.  Correct problem, and click RESET to continue.
