Auto Mode
Figure 33: Auto Cycle Mode
In Auto Mode, the workcell automatically processes parts as they are available. Some
possible workcell setups include conveyor equipped, stand-alone with a door, or stand-
alone with a light curtain
For a workcell with a conveyor, the part is put on the conveyor by an operator or through
an upstream process. The part is sensed at the entrance of the workcell and is sent to the
stop. When the part is against the stop, it is sensed and the PathMaster® program will
begin. When the PathMaster® program is finished, the board is sent to the end of the
conveyor for the next step. When the part is released or removed, the procedure starts
again.
For workcells without a conveyor, all parts must be put in the workcell manually. Optional
part-in-place sensors sense when a part is present. If a part is not sensed, a “Waiting for
Product” message is shown. When the workcell is ready to operate, use the hand switches
to produce parts. Remove all finished parts before the next cycle starts.
If the workcell has a light curtain, the light curtain can be used to initiate cycles.
