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.

Setup Mode
The options shown in Portal depend on the workcell configuration. Refer to machine
specific manuals and appendices for more information.
Figure 34: Setup Mode
In Setup mode, basic workcell functions can be controlled. Auto Cycle parameters and
some workcell parameters are set in Setup mode.
8.1 System
1. Select the “System” tab.
2. Select the “Run Wet” button to toggle it on or off. Valve operation is off for Auto
Cycle when the “Run Wet” button is set to off. This does NOT affect the run option
in the Manual mode. There is a separate option in Manual mode to select “Wet” or
“Dry”. Refer to Section 6.2 for more information.

3. Select the “Reset” button to reset the cycle count to zero.
4. Select the “Stop” button to leave Setup mode and go to Cycle Stop mode.
8.2 Calibration
The workcell has one of three calibration methods: Standard, Operator Defined, and
Sensor Defined.
If a Sensor Defined or Operator Defined method is installed on the workcell, the machine
may or may not automatically enter its particular calibration mode when entering Auto
mode. This will depend on which application the workcell was set up for. Refer to Section
8.2 for more information on different calibration sequences.
8.2.1 Standard Calibration
Standard Calibration is the easiest calibration procedure. Each head on the gantry will
have a set reference position. The operator can select the head and move the gantry to its
related position. When at the preset point, the operator must physically reposition the
dispense needle to confirm that the calibration is correct.
