20 ALS 4.0 XE P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 1. SAFETY SENSORS – This area shows the status of all the Operator Safety sensors . 2. PROXIMITY BOARD SENSORS – This area shows the status of all the Lumber sensors. 3. DRIVE AXIS STATUS – This area shows the status of all the drive axes. 4. AXIS POSITION SCREEN – This area shows the current positions of all the axes, touching any of the individual boxes will show the corresponding axis on area "5". 5. AXIS SELECT – This area will show the position of the selected axis from area "4" with additional functions to JOG, HOME, CALIBRATE OR MOVE functions. 6. OUTPUT STATUS – This area will show the various status of machine components such as the saw, trash conveyor, pusher clamps, live deck and infeed and outfeed conveyors. 7. L1/L2 CLAMP ICONS- • L1/L2-CLAMP-UP/DOWN – These control clamp rollers that grip the top of the board on each drive. • L1/L2-PUSHER-IN/OUT – These control the pusher fence that locates and maintains the location of the board against the back- fence rollers. • L1-Clamp_Pusher Hold/Release – These controls both clamp and pusher Up/Down and In/Out. • L2-Clamp_Pusher Hold/Release – These controls both clamp and pusher Up/Down and In/Out. 8. Z1 AXIS – These are short cuts for moving the Z1 axis. UP moves the blade to its normal up position. DOWN moves the blade to its maximum down position. FULL causes the blade to make a full stroke down and back up like it does when cutting lumber. All these moves are performed at full system speed. 9. HOME Function – These buttons will cause a single axis to Home. Normally, you should Home the entire system, but certain diagnostic procedures may require homing a single axis. NOTE When settings have been completed the bevel section, check the remainder of the Semi-Automatic screen to make sure all the other data is correct. Then click or touch SETUP to cut the piece. NOTE SAVE a bevel piece in the same manner described above. Just make sure all the data entered correctly before starting the SAVE process. 3.5 Manual Control 3.5.1 Manual Axis Control Figure 26 The primary purpose of this screen is to provide manual control of all the axes as well as some other parts of the machine. There are a number of system functions available from this screen as well. The manual controls are on the right and across the bottom, and the system controls are on the left side. Before we discuss the manual controls, note the red and green checkmark above them. This array of checkmarks gives the status of all sensors on the machine. Red means off, green means on. This information may be useful if you are diagnosing certain problems. It is normal for these checkmarks to change. It is also normal for some of them to be red during operation of the machine. If you think you may be having trouble with one of the sensors on the machine, call Alpine. We will help you diagnose the problem with a combination of the manual controls and this status bar.
