Hello everybody, I am experiencing the following problem, I hope someone can help me:
We use a Hercules encoder (model 2313I-AS1000)conected to a GE Fanuc high speed counter (APU300), this used in an automated tablecloth machine, the machine hems (sews) two sides of a roll of cloth and then cuts pieces of pre-entered lenght, this lenght is determined by the turns of the encoder activating the counter until the pre-entered count (equivalent to a tablecloth lenght).
The problem is that I have pieces of different lenghts, how can I check if the encoder is bad, how if the counter is bad. The encoder gets its power from a 24vdc power supply and delivers its pulses through a line to the counter.
What do you think could be causing this. Any ideas and comment are greatly appreciated.
Regards!
