MODEL 9600
Microprocessor Control
Unique Design
Controls all Jetline Motors
State of the Art Technology
For Longitudinal Welding
For Circumferential Welding
For Wire Feeders
Introduction
The 9600 series of microprocessor controls is the
latest in Jetline's range of modern, efcient and
unique controls. Each 9600 control uses identical
control hardware with the same size front panel
and controls. Operators rapidly become familiar
with the user-friendly layout.
For years, the welding industry has accepted the
same type of control for motor speed and sequencing. The industry is familiar with speed control
potentiometers and switches to control direction,
travel jog, standard and rapid speed.
Inside these traditional controls were many relays
and other electromechanical devices, all of which
had a potential for failure. While, over the years,
improvements were made to these controls with
the addition of speed meters and ten-turn potentiometers, these were, at best, a "x" which made
only marginal improvement to the operation of
the system.
WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY
Jetline's new 9600 series controls are a new dimension in control technology and use. Gone are all
the old ideas and outdated thinking - this range of
controls is new in every feature:
• New microprocessor-based control technology.
• New solid-state circuitry to eliminate electromechanical relays and components.
• New user-friendly front panel layout
• New closed-loop control for higher accuracy
and stability.
Description
The 9600 series controls are designed to control all
motor-driven Jetline equipment. For motors up to
1/2hp, the control incorporates a motor controller. For larger, or for extra-precision applications,
the control is used with an external motor control
module.
The control is housed in a cabinet with provision for
mounting on the face of a travel carriage or other
suitable mounting face. The unit connects with the
motor and other equipment through Amphenol
connectors.
The unique feature of the 9600 series of controls is
that they are all software-driven. This means that
a control which is identical physically can be used
for many different applications. Custom-written
routines, developed by Jetline software engineers,
guide the operator through the set up and weld procedure. Software programs have been prepared
for longitudinal welding, circumferential welding
and for wire feeding.
Much research has gone into the design of the
front panel. Operating switches and controls have
been selected for their tactile feel. The start and
stop buttons can be easily located. The stop button
protrudes further than the start button to simplify
identication.
Speed control is effected through a knob which
incorporates detents. The operator can therefore
change the travel speed in known increments. Adjustment is "speed-sensitive". A more rapid turn of the
knob changes the setting in larger increments.
A large, mushroom head emergency stop switch
is provided to shut down the complete process. A
pushbutton switch is included to switch the main
power on and off.
