WIREMANAGER PC SOFTWARE
This
is an optional Windows software package that enables you to use a personal
computer to control the AutoStrip. WireManager software handles both the
task of wire list data processing and the task of controlling the production
of cut and stripped wires by downloading operating instructions to the AutoStrip.
It runs under the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems.
The wire list data processing functions allow you to create large lists
of wires, called harness files, by entering information for each wire
such as length, gauge, strip length, wire type, etc. Coupled with the
data for each wire are user programmable machine operating parameters
such as wire feed speed, wire acceleration/deceleration, etc. The wires
in each harness file can be sorted by wire gauge, wire stock number or
part number. The user can create new harness files, load and edit previous
harness files, search for a particular wire and print the files.
You
start the wire production task by loading a harness file from the computer's
disk. The WireManager software automatically downloads the data for each
wire to the AutoStrip and instructs the AutoStrip to run each wire. The
user can specify the order in which wires are produced and inhibit the
production of selected wires. The WireManager software will prompt the
operator when a different wire type must be loaded or when the characters
on a manual wire marker need to be changed. The WireManager software can
also be programmed to automatically interrupt production for certain conditions,
such as the next wire or a wire with a user-set "pause-flag"
WireManager also includes a feature called "Wire Meter". When
enabled, the Wire Meter maintains a file that lists the amount of each
type of wire that was used for the last job and a cumulative total of
wire that has been used.
WireManager software enables you to store virtually an unlimited number
of harness files. It increases your productivity by minimizing repetitive
data entry and reducing the possibility of operator error.
