AMS Controls Open Loop Controller MP350PA

Ensure the following are in place

Stopping Reaction Time Configuration

Enter the desired STOPPING REACTION time (max 5.000 seconds)

Is the STOPPING REACTION time within the acceptable range?

Run a test cycle to verify the STOPPING REACTION time

Ensure all safety protocols are in place

Verify that the system is powered on and operational

Record the current BOOST REACTION TIME setting

Is the leading edge of the part pushing the die and deforming its shape?

Is the die causing the material to pull or tear apart?

Adjust the BOOST REACTION TIME to match the die speed with the material speed at the time of the cut

Set the SHEAR REACTION time to zero

Is there a die boost on the shear die?

Disable die boost by disconnecting the wire on the output of the controller

Slow the line speed to avoid metal jamming in the shear die

Shear Cycling and Part Production

Run ten parts of equal lengths (e.g., 120 inches)

Measure the length of each of the ten parts

Calculate the sum of all ten part lengths

Divide the total length by ten to find the average length

Determine New Correction Factor

Calculate the new CORRECTION FACTOR using the formula

Is the new CORRECTION FACTOR within acceptable range?

Ensure the machine is powered off before starting the procedure.

Verify that the controller is properly connected to the machine.

Deceleration Factor Mode Selection

Is the DECEL FACTOR automatically maintained by the controller?

Record the DECEL FACTOR value in In/Sec2.
