OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 Function selection for double-head linkage

Please click on the RDworks software: file - > Vendor Settings - >, after enter the password  (RD8888) to enter the manufacturer parameter settings interface, firstly, read the parameters, then click “Laser” activate "multi tube" in laser config as showed in Figure 1.3







Click “other parameters” in the manufacturer parameters, pop-up menu as showed in Figure 1.4.  In "Bi-head auto layout” item, when the box of "Head distance” is not checked, the spacing value will be gray and can’t be set, only after the box is selected, the head distance can be set up.

 

In general, the origin limit of head B is near to head A. Head B will approach to head A until meets the limit. Head A and B can't approach more closely at that time, the minimum spacing between them is fixed, and it is inevitable when machine is designed, users should accurately measure the spacing value, and then fill it in the above parameters box. If the spacing value is not accurate, it will lead to inaccurate in the processed graphics. In general, only one time you need to set the value, unless there is a moving for limit switch location.  After the box of "Head distance” is checked and set up the spacing value, users clicks "write” button, write the parameter into controller, so the double heads linkage function will be enabled. Conversely, if the "Head distance” box is not selected when writing parameter, this function cannot be enabled.

 

In addition, click on the PC software Menu - > Config –> System Setting - > General Settings, it will pop up the interface shown as Figure 2,  there is a " Bi-head auto layout " item on the interface too, if does not select it, the spacing value will be gray and can’t be set up, if the box is selected and then the value can be set, pay attention to that this value is only useful when drawing a virtual array graphics automatically bestrew breadth. PC software will finish automatically bestrewing breadth according to the paper’s size and whether there is a double heads linkage function. If no need use the function of automatically bestrewing breadth, it is irrelevant that the parameter is checked or not. And, this parameter is clicked whether or not does not affect the controller with the function of double heads linkage, to enable or disable the double heads linkage function, it must be checked in the interface of Figure 1.4 showed.
