BEFORE REMOVING UNIT FROM ITS PACKAGING, CHECK FOR VISUAL DAMAGE,
ESPECIALLY IF CRATE, SKID, OR CARTON HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN TRANSIT. ANY
DAMAGE CAUSED IN SHIPMENT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO THE
CARRIER. IF UNIT APPEARS IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION, REMOVE ALL PACKING
AND WIPE RUST PREVENTIVE FROM ROLLERS WITH MILD SOLVENT.
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 220 VAC, single phase.
The P/A Industries Ultra Edge Sequential Servo Roll Feed (Ultra Edge Sequential)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 process equipment signals the feeder when
to begin moving the strip, when the feed pitch must be completed, when the process equipment has completed its down
stroke, and with optional pneumatic pilot release, when to open the rolls for piloting.
The Ultra Edge Sequential performs a job when the application requires:
a) use of selectable tool/gag combination along with selectable feed length for every press cycle. (Press
application);
b) use of selectable punch/press combination along with selectable feed length for every feed cycle – (Punching
Bench or Multiple Press application);
The mechanical simplicity, accuracy, and ease of use of the Ultra Edge Sequential will help to improve your quality
and production for years to come.

2.3 SERVO MOTOR/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.

ULTRA EDGE SEQUENTIAL 6/05/2002
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.
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
Consider a Step as a single action of the servo roll feed associated with moving a material strip for a programmable
distance and activating a programmable combination of output relays. Each Step can be repeated up to 999 times.
There are 1000 Steps available in the servo drive.
Consider a Tool as a set of Steps associated with a certain press die (tool, part, job, etc.).
Consider the Tool storage as a part of the servo drive memory dedicated for storage of 200 Tools (200 step sets).
NOTE: Keep in mind that Tool storage can hold up to 200 Tools, the total amount of Steps remains 1000, so if
the first Tool takes 25 steps, the remaining 199 potential Tools would have 975 Steps to share.
Consider an Active Tool as a copy of a Tool.
Tools are organized by Tool number, which is user definable and can contain up to 7 digits.
The servo drive program never uses original Tools from the Tool storage - every time a Tool is called up (activated)
the program makes a copy of it (Active Tool), places this copy into a dedicated memory location and then uses it.
There are no communications between a Tool and Active Tool, they are virtually independent of each other. If a Tool
gets changed it must be reactivated in order to apply changes to the Active Tool.
NOTE: Deleting a Tool causes deletion of the Active Tool as well.
NOTE: An Active Tool remains active after power recycling.
NOTE: Only one of the Active Tool parameters can be edited: Batch Count.
It takes just a few keystrokes to activate a Tool.
3 PROGRAMMING THE ULTRA EDGE SEQUENTIAL SYSTEM –
OVERVIEW
NOTE: Before attempting any programming, make sure that the “PROGRAMMING LOCKED /
UNLOCKED” key switch is in the “Unlocked” position.
IMPORTANT: After power shutdown, WAIT for 10 seconds before powering up the Feed.
Turn on the main power disconnect switch. This applies power to the control power supply. Press the green Power
On push-button. The button will illuminate and the OPERATOR terminal display will be visible.
Wait for the IN POSITION light to illuminate.
Press any key to begin.
