This is the full setup procedure for V notches on an Ecoline. This should only be needed on initial commissioning or if the shape of the notch has changed due to some physical intervention, for example -
- Blade Change
- Blade buckled

<div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></div>
<div class="icon-instructions-text">...If there is no direct reason to change the blade shape or position, there is a different root cause to the problem that changing parameters WILL NOT SOLVE</div>

<div class="icon-instructions-text">...If the results of your tests do not make sense, or the position seems to vary by the wrong amount or wrong direction after making a change, then a serious mechanical problem exists elsewhere. There is no sense carrying on because you cannot complete this setup unless the machine is consistent and reliable</div>

Installation of an Ecoline is quite straight-forward as all of the main levelling and alignment is taken care of inside the main module housing.
Installation involves 3 steps
# Levelling main module
# Attaching and Levelling Infeed Frame
# Refitting Infeed cover +
Never found out why but seems Windows tries to manage the Mapped Drives before The Network Service is up and running +

We are using Monday.com to handle daily timesheet entries. The layout of the form has been designed to make data input as minimal as possible. We are looking to improve accuracy of time capture, cut down administration time and to make historical data available without the need to store paperwork or take pictures. You will only be able to view and edit your timesheet when logged into your Monday.com account. Other employees are unable to see your data. +
This area is prone to collect sharp - cornered offcuts which can pull the seal from the SR axis bearing. The kit will help prevent damage.

This upgrade replaces the crank arm assemblies on Z065, Z066 and Z067 with a direct drive system to improve reliability
This procedure involves mechanical fitting, electrical wiring and help from a TwinCAT3 competent engineer at HQ for software changes

This procedure describes how to upgrade a flowline to increase the standard capacity from 6.0m to 6.5m.
The procedure involves extending the machining centre outfeed travel and saw infeed travel base to 6.0m to cope with a longer rail on each side. These are generally supplied as a new part.
It is also 2 People 3 days.
Requires the 4 x G clamps
Other ancillary parts that will need extending
*Cables
*Energy Chains +

If a PC fails on a machine in the field and the hard drive data cannot be recovered, it is necessary to replace the PC. This may create a version conflict, as the new PC will have later versions of twinCAT installed than the original
This tutorial outlines the steps required to bring all the machine systems up to the latest level to ensure compatibility

The GE control components are now obsolete and we have had to find a new manufacture to use. We have decided to go with Eaton control equipment for this. We are using the same supplier for these products and we have the added benefit if the supplier holding these parts in there stores. We had a choice to use either ABB, Eaton or Schneider components.
Although all of the individual Eaton components are a direct replacement for the GE components, there are certain situation that we may be tripped up. This includes times when we need to change a motor breaker that has an auxiliary block connected to it. We can change the breaker but the GE auxiliary block will not fit on the new Eaton one. This means that the Eaton components need to have different part numbers to the GE components.
This document will layout the new part numbers and what they relate to and instructions on how they are added and changed in the Sage system. +
'''WARNING:'''
'''The Jetter motor on the GZ axis has a brake. Releasing the brake without control could be harmful/dangerous.'''
'''Use the Air Counterbalance rig to assist if necessary.'''
This assumes that the motors are connected to the Beckhoff drive and are free to move. +
There is a cylinder called Grip push, when bar is moved to its unload position the Gripper Comes OFF then Grip push is activated to push the profile of the gripper to clear ready for the Eject push onto transfer Table.
The video shows what happens if the grip push is set too fast. The speed of the cylinder is Far too Fast and is Throwing/punching back down machine. -- This needs to be slowed Down. +
The Eject Push bar on the Saw Outfeed on the ZX machines does not have sensors fitted to monitor the position of the cylinders. This causes an issue when the bar is obstructed and either does not fully extend or not fully extract. The cycle is not aware of the position of the cylinders and the machine will continue to run, often resulting in a collision. Not having sensors fitted also means that the Eject Push cycle is run via a timer. However, using a timer means that the system does not know the actual position of the cylinders. Having sensors fitted to the cylinders will allow us to have a cycle that monitors the position of the cylinders and we can determine the cycle has finished before allowing another operation to proceed. We can also use the sensors as feedback to stop the machine if the cycle fails. This will result in fewer collisions and damage to parts or products.

If a machine is set up with an EL6070 Licence Slice, the PLC can be swapped freely and the TwinCAT licence remains on the slice in the machine

The SMC valve banks that have a built on d-sub connector (P0001209 and P0001210) are supplied with m2.6 threaded upstands with an m3 stud as standard. The d-sub cables and d-sub etherCAT boxes that we use are UNC4-40 threads and are not compatible with the SMC valve bank. UNC4-40 upstands with an m3 stud (F0000625) have been sourced and are required to be used to make the SMC valve bank compatible with the other d-sub components that are used. +

It is useful to be able to see a quick view of all cameras on a machine at once. A freeware program is available to do this IP Camera Viewer.exe
Ensure you have the IP address of the cameras to hand, and that the cameras are active and setup to [[Hikvision Camera Setup]].
The cameras should have a fixed IP address
