SEQUENCES

Head Up On pressing Head, when available on the menu bar, a message is displayed on

the message prompt bar - ‘Raise Head Under 2- button Control’ and the head

latches de-energize.

To raise the head, the two jog buttons, located on the MMI, must be pressed

simultaneously within 0.5 second of each other.

Provided the head lift circuit breaker CB11 and the head over travel switches are

intact, the head rises. Whilst the jog buttons are held on and the Head Up switch

is not made the head continues to rise. If the jog buttons are released or if the

head up/down switches are reached the head stops moving.

The sequence of actions on pressing the jog buttons is as follows:

As the head is lifted the head open interlock switch opens, dropping out the E

Stop relay. This de-energises the print carriage brake (clamp is on), contactors

1 and 3 are held on by the two handed relay, these contactors provide the 24Vdc

for the headlift card. A direction signal (DIR) is determined by the NextMove

controller reading the Head Up/Down reed switches attached to the head lift

actuator. When the printhead has reached the head up position, the head lift

circuit stops the motor. The NextMove controller monitors the reed switches,

senses that the up switch is made and signals the MultiMove to stop the action.

The warning window ‘Hazardous Operation - The head must be propped

while it is raised. Insert head prop’is displayed. The head prop must be

installed and the action confirmed before the warning window is cleared from

the MMI screen.

Head Down On pressing Lower Head the warning window ‘Hazardous Operation - The

head is about to be lowered. Remove the head prop and confirm that

everyone is standing clear’ is displayed. Once confirmed the head prop has

been removed and returned to it’s stowage the message ‘Lower Head Using 2-

button Control’ is displayed. When the two button controls are pressed and

the up switch is made or the Lower Head button is pressed (while the printhead

is open), the printhead is driven down. When the head down sensor is activated,

the motor stops driving and the head latches energize.

The system power down message is displayed and the machine does not reini-

tialize until the system button is pressed.

ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS

Head Lift Up/Down

Sensors

The head lift sensors are magnetic reed switches mounted on slides along the

body of the lift actuator, see figure overleaf. The switches are set to give the

maximum amount of printhead lift, and keep the actuator within its own mechan-

ical limits so as not to physically jam the mechanism.

Setting the

Actuator

1. Ensure that the printhead is fully down.

2. Set the Up and Down reed switches to the nominal dimensions given, see

figure.

3. Check that a 1mm gap exists between the clevis and the clamp, adjust the

printhead down reed switch to achieve this. Using Diagnostics, drive the

printhead up and down, re-adjusting the down switch to achieve this.

4. Raise the printhead and check that the printhead prop fits into the left hand

side of the printhead without fouling. If the prop does not fit adjust the

printhead up reed switch as necessary.

5. Check all diagnostics functions of the printhead module, refer to the Diag-

nostics chapter of the User Manual.
