1 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
Before turning the system on for the first time, verify that installation has been completed according to
the Installation manual and the main input voltage is 110 VAC, single phase.
The P/A Industries Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed is a state of the art AC Servo feed, which simplifies Operator
adjustments to feed parameters. These Operator adjustments are entered into the control memory through the keypad.
With the use of positional limit switches, the press signals the feeder when to begin moving the strip, when the feed
pitch must be completed, when the press has completed its down stroke, and with optional pneumatic pilot release,
when to open the rolls for piloting.
The mechanical simplicity, accuracy, and ease of use of the Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed will help to improve your
quality and production for years to come.

2.3 SERVOMOTOR/DRIVE OPERATION
The introduction of servomotor technology to the press roll feed has pushed the limits of accuracy, adjustability,
and performance to levels previously unattainable.
The following example is based on the Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed Standard, US (SRF-125, 200, 300, 400, 500,
600) models. The actual numbers for SRF-100 or metric models are different.
Each revolution of the servomotor produces 1048576 encoder pulses. Every 2.909 revolutions of the servo motor shaft
produce 1 revolution of the feed rollers. The circumference of the lower roll is approximately 11.138 inches.
When a new feed pitch is entered into the system, the built in computer calculates the correct number of electronic
“pulses” it must receive from the motor mounted encoder in order to rotate the feed rolls the correct distance.
Example: If a feed pitch/length of 11.138 inches is entered into the feeder, this will result in exactly one revolution of
the feed rolls. The motor will accelerate and turn 2.909 turns. This will produce (2.909 x 1048576 = 3050307) pulses
of the encoder. The feeder will decelerate and stop, when 3050307 pulses are detected. The feeder is now in position.
4
Page 5
ULTRA EDGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/14/2003
The result is an accurately positioned strip exactly 11.138 inches from its starting point. This entire process happens
in milliseconds.
2.4 TOOL STORAGE OPERATION
The tool storage feature allows for storing of parameters that are different from tool to tool. It takes just a few seconds
to activate feeding parameters associated with a certain tool number. Maximum 200 tools can be stored. Tools are
organized by Tool number, which is user definable and can contain up to 7 digits.
Each tool consists of the following parameters:
-Length;
- Batch Count;
- Speed;
- Dwell;
- Accel;
- Decel;
- Feed Cam “On”;
- Feed Cam “Off”;
- Reset Cam “On”;
- Reset Cam “Off”;
- Pilot Release Cam “On”;
- Pilot Release Cam “Off”;
- Aux1. Cam “On”;
- Aux1. Cam “Off”;
- Aux2. Cam “On”;
- Aux2. Cam “Off”;
- Aux3. Cam “On”;
- Aux3. Cam “Off”;
NOTE: Cam settings are available only with PLS version of software.
Consider the tool storage as a part of the servo drive’s NVRAM memory that is dedicated to storing information of all
the existing tools. In order to run a tool, it must be activated. Tool activation is an internal drive procedure of making
a copy of the tool, and placing it in a different memory location. This copy, not the tool in the tool storage, is used to
perform material feeding. “Tool #NNN is active” means only that the feed running parameters are copied from this
tool.
A tool in the tool storage area and its copy, are edited independently, with the difference, that only two of the copy’s
parameters are accessible – Length and Batch Count. These are accessible from the Operator screen. In order to edit
the rest of the parameters of the tool, the tool in tool storage must be edited, and then, reactivated.
NOTE: Deleting an active tool from the tool storage causes deletion of its copy as well.
NOTE: An active tool remains active after power recycling.
2.5 PLS OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
The PLS, Programmable Limit Switch consists of an intelligent encoder and the cable that connects the encoder to
the servo drive. The encoder is mounted on the press and its shaft is coupled or belted to the crankshaft with a one to
one (1:1) ratio. On every power-up, the encoder turns into the intelligent mode (for approximately 10 msec) to read
its actual position and store it in the servo drive.
The encoder then turns into the incremental mode, sending the count signals to the servo drive proportionally to the
angle of the move (1024 counts per revolution). The servo drive software, having the start point position of the
5
Page 6
ULTRA EDGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/14/2003
encoder shaft, constantly calculates (updates) its current position. The position of the press crankshaft is determined
through the offset parameter, which is the position of the encoder shaft when the press is in its 0 degree position
(TDC).
Thus, at every point of the stroke, the servo drive knows where the crankshaft is. The servo drive controls six cams
simultaneously, turning them on and off accordingly to the cam settings.
Since the PLS encoder is connected directly to the servo drive, there is no need to wire connections for the Feed Cam
and the Reset Cam outputs. These outputs are software type outputs.
The rest of the cam outputs are hardware type and require wiring of output relays to the desired mechanisms, such as a
pilot release solenoid, parts blow-off, tool lubricator, etc. The cam settings (On/Off angles) are set through the
operator terminal. They are part of the tool settings.
NOTE: All PLS outputs are active as soon as SRF power is turned on.
2.6 STRIP ENCODER-OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
The Strip Encoder assembly consists of:
a. 300mm diameter knurled measuring wheel
b. 10,000 pulses per revolution encoder
c. Air valve with manual actuator
d. Air cylinder slide
e. Magnetic sensor
The encoder measuring wheel is coupled to the encoder and both are mounted on the slide. The slide can be moved up
and down by applying air pressure (80-100 PSI) to the air cylinder. The magnetic sensor is used to indicate the
up/down position of the measuring wheel.
The encoder output results in 40,000 pulses (counts) per revolution for a final resolution of 3386 counts per inch of
linear strip movement.
While the measuring wheel is in its up position, the servo roll feed acts as if there is no strip encoder attached to it, and
all of the SETUP parameters associated with a strip
The Strip Encoder may be used to control or to check the position of the material strip.
The P/A Industries® servo roll feed with optional Strip Encoder comes standard with the ability to function in one of
the two modes.
encoder operation are inactive.
1. CONTROL MODE
In this mode the position control of the material motion is done through Strip Encoder feedback. The velocity control
is based on data coming from both, Strip Encoder and Motor Mounted Encoder.
This mode provides relatively slower speed performance, due to the increase in computation of the velocity control
algorithm.
2. CHECK MODE
In this mode the full control of the material motion (Acceleration, Deceleration, Speed and positioning) is done
through the motor mounted encoder. When a move is complete, the Strip Encoder positioning control checks if the
material is within the Length Check tolerance, if it is not, "Position Error" is displayed, and Auto mode is turned off.

5 OPERATING THE ULTRA EDGE SERVO FEED
5.1 PROGRAMMING
There is no need to program anything if the “Tool Storage” is properly set up. It is only matter of activating the
needed tool, although the OPERATOR screen allows the Operator to edit two basic parameters.
27
Page 28
ULTRA EDGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/14/2003
OPERATOR screen is the only one that is Operator editable. This screen displays Length, Count, and Length
Adjustment. Length and Count can be changed only when cycling is stopped, although Length can be adjusted by
using the LENGTH ADJUSTMENT command even while the feed is running.
When Length and Count are edited or adjusted from OPERATOR screen, they override the stored tool Length and
Count and will be active until current tool is reactivated or another tool is activated.
Activate tool is the only command that is Operator accessible and can be executed only when the feed is not cycling.
5.2 PRIORITY MODE
The Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed has two modes of automatic cycle starting. The choice can be made between “Press –
Before – Feed” (“PBF”) and “Feed – Before – Press” (“FBP”) operating mode.
When “PBF” mode is selected and the Cycle Start button is pressed on the control panel, the feeder causes the “Auto”
and “Permit Press” relays to turn on thus enabling the start of continuous cycling on the press.
When “FBP” is selected and Cycle Start button is pressed on the feed control, the material/strip will be fed forward
before the press is started. The Operator may verify that the strip is in position before starting the press.
The Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed will now follow the press until it is stopped by the Operator, counter, emergency stop,
or feed error.
5.3 “JTL” (JOG TO LENGTH) MODE
“JTL” mode is used primarily during the threading of the strip through the die. This mode allows the Jog – To –
“Feed Length” operations to be performed. While in the “JTL” mode, the strip may be moved using the remote Jog
Pendant.
If the “Jog Forward” is stopped before the “Feed Length” is reached, then either the “Jog Forward” or the “Jog Reverse” Operator buttons will work. The “Jog Reverse” will not allow the strip to go backwards beyond the initial
“Feed Length” starting point.
The “Jog Forward” Operator button will function until the end of the “Feed Length” is reached. During “JTL”
mode, the bottom line on the display will show “Waiting for Jog”. When the “Feed Length” is reached, the jog
buttons become inactive and the message on display will show “Waiting for Press”. The jog buttons will not become
active again until after the press has made a cycle.
5.4 “AUTO / MANUAL” MODE
“Auto” Mode is used for production running of the Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed. When “Manual” mode is selected
via the 2-position selector switch, the control can be put in “Auto” mode by pressing Cycle Start button.
During “Manual” mode, the feeder can be jogged infinitely in either direction. After the Cycle Start button is
pressed, the jog buttons are inactive, and the feeding of the strip follows the cam signals from the press.
During “Auto” mode, the control keeps check on synchronization of the feeder and the press. If the feeder does not
complete the index within the feed cam window, the message “SYNC FAULT” displays.
The Ultra Edge Servo Roll Feed has 2 modes of automatic cycling. The feeder can operate with Single Stroke or Continuous modes. The mode is selected through an input to the feed controller. The Press single stroke/continuous
mode switch should be interfaced to that input for proper operation. During single stroke mode operation, the “Permit Press” relay is activated upon the completion of each feed index.
The “Permit Press” relay remains activated until the reset cam signal turns on, or for the duration of the Dwell, if the
Dwell parameter is programmed. The “Permit Press” relay may be used to signal the press when to initiate the single
stroke cycle. The automatic cycling of the press and feeder will continue until the batch is completed, or the cycle is
stopped by the Operator, or an error occurs.
During “Continuous Press” mode, the “Permit Press” relay turns on at the beginning of the indexing.
28
Page 29
ULTRA EDGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/14/2003
The “Permit Press” relay remains activated until the automatic cycling is stopped by either “Cycle Stop” button,
“Batch Complete” internal command, “Sync Fault” or any other drive related error. Under “Cycle Stop” or “Batch Complete” stopping, the output will turn off at the beginning of the Feed Cam Signal. This should allow the press to
stop near the top of the stroke. Under “Sync Fault” or other drive fault conditions, the “Permit Press” relay will turn
off immediately upon detection of the error.
5.5 STRIP ENCODER OPERATION
The control is designed such that if there is no Strip Encoder attached to the Servo Drive or the measuring
wheel is lifted, the Servo Drive and the whole feed acts as regular feed, operation of which is described in this
Manual.
The measuring wheel must be lowered and the Length Mode must be set up before Cycle Start button is
pressed.
Refer to STRIP ENCODER-OPERATION section of this manual for Length Mode description.
There are four additional SETUP parameters that take care of proper Strip Encoder operation. They are as follows:
Length Mode is a parameter that selects whether the feeder works in the Control or Check mode. Entering a "0"
selects Control mode and "I" selects Check mode.
Length Check is a parameter that defines the Check mode tolerance. It is a numeric entry with a range of 0.00 to
5.00 inch.
Strip Scale is the Strip Encoder scaling parameter used to define the number of encoder counts/inch. It is a numeric entry with a factory value 3386.17.
Kp Multiplier is a parameter that defines a proportional gain of the position loop of the Strip Encoder and based on
the value of the motor encoder's Kp proportional gain. This is a tuning parameter, before changing its value, consult
the P/A Industries Service Department.

WARNING
This equipment offers various means of operating or controlling machines. The operator must not be in or near the point-ofoperation of the machine, or the operating parts of any equipment installed on the machine, or bodily injury could result. The
EMPLOYER must post adequate warning signs onto the machine with proper warnings for his machine and the specific
application to which the machine and equipment are being applied.
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Sections 1910.211, 1910.212, and 1910.217 contain installation information on the
distance between danger points and point-of-operation guards and devices. No specific references have been made to which
paragraph of OSHA 1910.211, 1910.212, 1910.217 or any other applicable sections because the paragraphs may change with each
edition of the publication of OSHA provisions.
All equipment manufactured by us is designed to meet the construction standards of OSHA in effect at the time of sale, but the
EMPLOYER installs the equipment so the EMPLOYER is responsible for installation, use, application, training, and maintenance,
as well as adequate signs on the machine onto which this equipment will be installed.
Remember, OSHA says that the EMPLOYER must use operating methods designed to control or eliminate hazards to operating
personnel.
It shall be the responsibility of the EMPLOYER to establish and follow a program of periodic and regular inspections of his
machine to insure that all their parts, auxiliary equipment, and safeguards are in a safe operating condition and adjustment. Each
machine should be inspected and tested no less than weekly to determine the condition of the machine. Necessary maintenance or
repair of both shall be performed and completed before the machine is operated. The EMPLOYER shall maintain records of these
inspections and the maintenance work performed.
Our Company is not responsible to notify the user of this equipment of future changes in State or Federal laws, or construction
standards.
SAFETY PROGRAM
Accident free operation will result from a well developed, management sponsored and enforced safety program. Of vital
importance to any successful program is the proper selection of guards and devices. However, there is no safety device that will
bring “automatic” safety to your operation.
Of equal importance to this proper selection of the guard and the device is the training of your personnel. Each person must be
trained as to the operation of the guard or safety device, highlighting why they have been provided on the equipment. Rules for
safe operating should be written and enforced at all times. A final major concern of an effective safety program is regularly
scheduled inspection and maintenance of all of the equipment.
To ensure continued safety at all times, top management, line supervision, safety engineers and all employees must assume their
proper share of the responsibility in the program. Only as a group, one that knows your own operation and its problems, can you
carry out an effective safety program.
To assist you in the development of and continued use of safety programs, many safety minded groups have made guidelines
available to you. However, you must know when and how to apply these guidelines. The manufacturer provides information to
assist you in properly adjusting and maintaining your equipment. There is no short cut to proper safety; therefore, it is
recommended that you comply with their recommendations at all times.
