4 PAViX – HMI
The generation, edition and management of PAViX programs is conducted via an HMI. A unique HMI screen
allows for the management of an unlimited number of PAViXs.
Figure 4: HMI and connectors
4.1 Barrel configuration
The programs use a common barrel configuration. It is managed from the PAViX HMI that is then automatically
transferred to the SD card when the programs are exported.
Figure 5: Barrel configuration management
In order to change the numbers of the cleats present on the barrel, simply click on the fields located around
them then link a standard cleat by clicking in the list located on the right-hand side of the screen.
To “remove” a cleat, simply double-click on the corresponding field. The number then becomes ‘---‘ meaning: no
cleat mounted in this position of the barrel.
4.2 Generation and creation of hand-setting programs
Program management and creation is conducted via the PAViX HMI. The transfer of programs on the PAViX
staking-tool is performed with an SD card.
Hand-setting programs are classified by family then by program.
Figure 6: Home screen and program management
In order to create programs, the PAViX may or may not be connected to the HMI using the supplied cable. La
status of the staking-tool <-> HMI connection is displayed on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

4.2.1 Entering family names and programs
On the home screen, select the navigation icon then press the "+" icon in the left column.
Figure 8: Home screen with navigation icon / Home screen with “+” icon / Creating a calibre
4.2.2 Recording a working reference
It is required, for each created program, to define a height reference for the part-holder movement assembly.
This reference is done using a defined cleat.
The user defines a point on the part-holder that will be used for the reference as well as the height. It is
recommended to set this reference on the hour hand’s hour-wheel or on the minute-wheel.
The user selects the tool position. The cleat number is automatically populated, on the basis of the information
entered in the barrel configuration.
In order to compensate a potential flexion in the movement, the strength of reference “0” can be set to 5 - 20 N.
Figure 9: Selecting the parameters to record the working-program reference
4.2.3 Editing the program
Once the working reference is recorded, the user can enable the stages of the sequence required to set the
hands. A program allows for the setting of up to 14 different hands. Each stage has the following settings:
- Tolerance of min and max force (mandatory)
- Stop height (mandatory)
- Barrel position (mandatory)
- Type of hands set (optional)
4.2.3.1 Programming by learning (ONLINE mode)
Height teaching is carried out with the wheel stop. The height is displayed in real-time and saved using the
“SET” button. To change force, cleat no. and hand type settings, simply select the field concerned.
NOTE: To adjust the height, the position of the barrel on the staking-tool must match that of the selected
operation. If the position of the barrel does not match that of the selected operation, the height is displayed in
red and cannot be changed.
4.2.3.2 Programming by theoretical values (OFFLINE mode)
Height values are determined on the basis of a plan and are manually entered on the hand’s detail page.
Note: All height values can be changed OFFLINE by 0.01mm increments and saved.

4.2.4 Edition of hand-setting programs
Once the programs are developed, simply double click on a program to start its edition. The edition process can
be performed with or without a connected staking-tool.
4.2.5 Authorisation to correct hand fitting heights
Once the programs are created on the HMI, it is generally no longer necessary to correct hand fitting heights
when using the staking-tool.
However, it is possible for the operator to authorise a temporary height correction: simply activate the “Ht
correction” radio button on the Family/Program page:
Figure 12: Height correction
Use of the option to correct heights when carrying out hand fitting operations is detailed here: spindle (refer to: §
5.6.4 Spindle reference, page 23).

4.3 Management of the bar code database
4.3.1 Bluetooth interface for HMI
This optional interface allows direct communication between the scanner and the HMI. We recommend using a
dedicated scanner (to use with the HMI) in order to facilitate the work (VOH Scanner 26.01001.SP.09)
Figure 13: Adapter assembly
Note:
- In order to work, the Bluetooth interface for HMI must be powered with the supplied USB power supply.
- The small white button on the “LM” module must be placed on the “DCE” side
4.3.2 Bar codes or QR code
Below can be found the minimum dimensions in order for the QR codes (ISO 18004) and bar codes (Code 128)
to be readable by the PAViX Scanner:

By varying the distance between the scanner and the target, it becomes possible to make both strips overlap in
the centre: in order to read the code, it must be located at the intersection of the 2 strips!
When reading is successful, a “bip” from the scanner can be heard.
To facilitate the scan, start close to the bar code and gently move away until a long “bip” can be heard.
Battery life:
2 hours charging time.
2 days of operation (1 scan per minute) without having been set to “OFF” at night.
Charging the scanner every night is recommended.

4.4 Strategic management of traceability
The PAViX offers full operation traceability. General traceability options can be configured from the home page
of the PAViX HMI. Press the “TRACK” button to access.
Figure 19: Access to traceability options management
Traceability is based on a bar code or QR code system.
User traceability (USER) is guaranteed for a maximum of 20 characters, its activation being specific to the
staking-tool.
MO traceability is guaranteed for numbers containing up to 20 characters, its activation being specific to the
staking-tool.
Traceability by movement serial numbers is guaranteed for numbers containing up to 10 characters. Activation
of serial number traceability is done in the programs via the “TRACK ID” radio button on the program’s main
page.
Unique or continuous ID:
If « TRACK ID » is activated in the program, it is possible to set a continuous or unique traceability :
- Unique : the ID is requested on each movement (for example: useful for movement traceability)
- Continuous : the ID is kept in memory until a new one is scanned (for example: useful for needle
supplier traceability)
-
These settings are automatically transferred to PAViX staking-tools when updating the hand-setting programs.
Note: These options may be temporarily changed in the staking-tool’s “Traceability” menu.
