5.2 Control panel

5-1
5.3 Control panel explanation
The first thing that catches the eye on the control panel is the operator panel. This includes many
functions and options that are explained in paragraph .6 Operating screens. The operating panel also
includes several push buttons and potentiometers. These are explained below.
This button starts the automatic winding program.
After pressing the "START" button the green indicator light in the
push button lights up.
This button stops the automatic winding program.
The potentiometer is there
to adjust the turntable speed.
Turning right (CW *) increases speed
Tuning left (CCW **) decreases speed
The setting can vary between 0 and 1 rotations per minute
The setting depends on the type of load
Unstable load: low(er) lower turntable speed
Stable load: high(er) turntable speed
The potentiometer is there to adjust the film carriage.
Turning right (CW *) increases speed
Tuning left (CCW **) decreases speed
The setting depends on the type of load
Unstable load: low(er) lower foil carriage speed
Stable load: high(er) foil carriage speed
With the main switch / emergency switch the power supply for the whole machinery is
switched on and off.
*CW: ClockWise (to the right)
** CCW: Counter ClockWise (to the left)

5-13
5.4 Starting up the machine
The machine starts in the following stages:
1. Switching on the machine
Turn the main switch of the machine from the ‘0 position’ to the ‘I position’. This supplies the machine
with power and switches it on.
2. Resetting the emergency stop and failures
By resetting the emergency stop you put voltage on the electrical circuit. Make sure no emergency
stops are pressed in.
3. Making sure that no failures are indicated
Reset the failures.
4. Press the ‘START’ button
An acoustic signal will sound (± 3 sec.) during which the operator must exit the danger zone. When
this signal ends, the machine starts.
5.5 Stopping the machine
You can interrupt the automatic cycle in the following ways:
1. By pressing the stop push button
This is the most common way of stopping the machine. The machine will stop in a natural way.
2. By using the emergency off switch
Operating the emergency off switch results in the machine going to the emergency setting. The
voltage is then taken off the machine and the machine stops as quickly as possible, but not in a natural
way. This way of stopping is only recommended if there is immediate danger.
When you have the stopped the machine, you can restart it according to the procedure described
above. The machine resumes its functions the moment it is started.
