Takeup Displacement Calibration Factor

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Estimated takeup travel is sensitive to the elasticity of the conveyor belt. If the take-up carriage displacement for a specific stopping or starting condition is known, the takeup displacement calibration factor can be utilized to increase program accuracy.

Values are entered on the takeup folder.

A value of “1.0” is the default, giving the standard travel estimate.

Values greater than “1.0” result in more projected travel.

Values less than “1.0” result in less projected travel.
