Dispense Mode Descriptions
The dispense command is a signal which instructs
the Pro−Meter A2K D2K H2K to dispense material
based on the mode selected. The Pro−Meter A2K
D2K H2K can dispense material in three distinct
modes (Auto Flow Mode, Manual Flow Mode, and
Manual Shot Mode).
Auto Flow Mode
Auto Flow Mode relies on an external device
(example: robot) to provide all dispense and reload
commands through the machine interlock. The
system will continue to dispense and reload as long
as a signal is received from the external source.
Manual Flow Mode
Manual Flow Mode allows for the continuous
engagement of the dispense command. The system
will continue to dispense as long as the trigger is
engaged. If the trigger is released and depressed
again, system operation resumes from the last
position. There is no automatic reload.
Manual Shot Mode
Manual Shot Mode allows momentary engagement of
the dispense command which completes one
dispense shot and reload as dictated by setup
parameters.
