3-14 Initialization, Setup, and Checkout
Set the Auto Carry-up Angle at the correct value to protect the operator. To do so, perform
the following steps:
1. Check to make sure that option switch 7 on switch block S101 on the WPC 2000 Main
Processor board is set to OFF to enable changes to the Auto Carry-up Angle (see
page 3-29).
2. Power down, then power up the WPC 2000 to enable this settings change.
3. With the press in Inch mode, press the Reset/Select button repeatedly until the “Auto
Carryup” indicator is lit.
4. Adjust the Auto Carry-up Angle by turning the WPC Settings key switch to “+”
(counterclockwise) to increase the value or to “–” (clockwise) to decrease the value.
5. When the value you want is shown in the LED display, save your setting by pressing the
Reset/Select button until the “Angle/SPM” indicator is lit.
6. Set option switch 7 to ON to disable changes to the Auto Carry-up Angle (see step 1).
7. Power down WPC 2000, then power the unit back up to enable the new setting.
Running Brake Monitor Tests and Making Settings
WPC 2000’s built-in brake monitor constantly checks the condition of the brake by measuring
the Stopping Time each time the press top-stops. Stopping time is the amount of time in
milliseconds that it takes the crankshaft to stop once the Dual Safety Valve (DSV) has been
de-energized. When the “Stopping Time” indicator is lit, the Stopping Time of the press on
the most recent stroke is shown in the LED display.
The Stop-time Limit is a setting used by the brake monitor to determine when the press needs
to be stopped to alert the operator to the need for brake repair. The Stop-time Limit is
factory-set to 500 milliseconds.
Determining the Stopping Time of Your Press
First, you need to determine the Stopping Time of your press at Top-stop. To do so, perform
the following steps:
1. Install the heaviest upper die in your press. Adjust the counterbalance for ram weight (if
the press has a counterbalance).
INCORRECT STOP-TIME LIMIT
Determine the Stopping Time and set the Stop-time Limit at a value that reflects the actual
Stopping Time of your press. Use the stop time measured in the 90° stop-time test to calculate the
safety distance.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
