4.2. Connection of force gauge to the stand The connection and confirmation between FGS-VC and a force gauge is the following procedure. Parameter setting of the force gauge Set the following parameters. Measurement polarity: + RS232C baud rate: 19,200 bps Refer to the manual of the force gauge. 22 Connect to FGS-VC Connect the force gauge to FGS-VC by the attached cable. Power on Turn on the power of the force gauge. Next, turn on FGS-VC with the power switch on the back.
4.3. Connection of PC to the stand FGS-VC can connect to PC for taking force and displacement. The software is able to be downloaded from Shimpo's website free of charge. Refer to the software manual. Cable between FGS-VC and force gauge USB cable Personal computer 5. Operation 5.1. Basic operation flow The procedure of basic operation is described as follows. Keep hands, hair and jewelry away from stand when drive assembly is in motion. May cause damage or injury.
Select measurement mode Select Manual, Jog, Single, Continuous and Program mode according to the measurement purpose and the usage. Mode can be changed by the Mode switch. Start to measure. Start each mode by pressing PUSH, PULL or START switch. Refer to each mode section. FGS-VC is able to test as follows: Compression test Tension test Welding test Peel test Suction test Repulsion test Cork test Open test Etc.
5.2. Operation mode The operation mode consists of manual and program. The mode is selected by the measurement purpose and the usage. You wish to test by PUSH or PULL key. e.g., You want to move to the position of PULL limit by pressing PULL switch. You want to move only while you press the PUSH key. You want to move the round trip operation many times between limits of PUSH and PULL. etc. Select manual operation modes : MANU, JOG, SING, CONT.. You wish to move complex operations. e.g.
5.3. Manual operation mode The manual operation modes are MANU, JOG, SING and CONT. The mode is selected by the measurement purpose and the usage. MANU mode When pressing the PUSH (PULL) key, FGS-VC goes to PUSH (PULL) limit switch position. FGS-VC stops if reaching the limit position. JOG mode This mode of operation is identical to MANU, except that the movement in any direction will only occur while either the PUSH or PULL key is depressed.
Speed Speed can be changed by UP or DOWN button of the SPEED. The speed setting of MANU and JOG mode is common. Also the speed is able to be changed while moving. Display Present position Setting speed Parameter The speed of MANU and JOG modes is adjustable. Press the SET button to enable adjustment via the UP or DOWN buttons of the SPEED key. Then press the SET button to save the new value. If you want to cancel the setting press the ZERO button.
Parameter The parameter, which is the speed of MANU and JOG mode, is available. Pressing SET button, and the speed can be changed by UP or DOWN key of the SPEED. Then press SET button for saving. If you want to cancel the setting, press ZERO button. Setting speed The UP or DOWN button of the SPEED key can be used to change the speed. The range is 0.40-15.75 in/min (10 to 400[mm/min].
5.3.3. SING mode This mode of operation is ideal for completing one cycle between mechanical, manually adjusted distance limit stops. The test stand will only operate between the limits that are set by the test stand user. Contents The test stand will move downward or upward when the respective PUSH or PULL button is selected. The stand will continue to move until one of the following events occurs: the STOP button is pushed, one of the limit switches is tripped or the emergency reset button is pushed.
Speed Speed can be changed by UP or DOWN button of the SPEED key. The speed setting of SING and CONT mode is common. Also the speed is able to be changed while moving. Display Present position Setting speed Moving direction Repeat count Setting dwell timer Status of limit switch Repeat count Incremental count at pressing PUSH or PULL button. The count is cleared with the ZERO button. When the mode is changed, the count will also be reset to zero.
Parameter The parameter, which is the dwell timer and the speed of pull and push, is available. Pressing SET button, the speed can be changed by UP or DOWN button of the SPEED key. The dwell timer can be changed by STOP. Finally press SET button for saving. If you want to cancel the setting, press ZERO button. SET Setting speed The UP or DOWN button of the SPEED can be used to change. The range is o.40-15.75 in/min(10 to 400 [mm/min].
Lower limit Push speed PULL Pull speed 5.3.4. CONT mode This mode of operation is ideal if the user wants the test stand to repeatedly cycle up and down continuously or for a user-programmed number of times. The stand will start in either direction depending on whether PUSH or PULL button is selected. Contents The test stand will start to move downward or upward when the respective PUSH or PULL button is selected.
Speed Speed can be changed by UP or DOWN button of the SPEED. The speed setting of SING and CONT mode is common. Also the speed is able to be changed while moving. Display Present position Setting speed Moving direction Repeat count Setting dwell timer Status of limit switch Repeat count Incremental count at pressing PUSH or PULL button. The count is cleared with the ZERO button. When the mode is changed, the count will also be reset to zero.
Parameter The parameter, which is the repeat times and the dwell timer and the speed of pull and push, is available. Pressing SET button, the speed and the repeat times can be changed by UP or DOWN button of the SPEED key, the dwell timer can be changed by STOP. Finally press SET button for saving. If you want to cancel the setting, press ZERO button. SET Setting speed The UP or DOWN button of the SPEED can be used to change. The range is 0.40-15.75 in/min 10 to 400[mm/min].
5.4. Program operation mode 5.4.1. PROG mode This mode of operation is ideal if user wants to operate the test stand with complex programmed movements. Even if the user does not know the length of the object, the accurate measurement is possible because the function to detect the object to be measured is provided. Contents The programmed data consists of a condition setting, starting point, a method of detection of the object, five measurement points and a method of return.
Display The example of the display under operation is shown below.
Parameter The parameters are available while stopping. Pressing SET button, the parameter setting starts. The contents of the parameters setting is shown in the below flowchart. Finally press SET button for saving. If you want to cancel the setting, press ZERO button. Force limit The PUSH or PULL button can be used to change. The sign of force limit is changed by MAX button alternately. SET Condition setting Moving direction The parameter is the direction of movement from “Start point” to “Detect point”.
Point 1 to 5 Previous page Movement direction at P1 The parameter is the direction of movement from “Standard point” to “Point 1”. The MAX button can be changed to Push or Pull alternately. SET Movement Distance at P1 The parameter is the distance from "Standard point" to "P1". Also the data should be set as relative coordination. The PUSH or PULL button can be used to change. Speed at P1 This parameter is the speed setting for moving from "Start point" to "Detect point".
Force limit The stand controls to give the force less than the "Force limit". If the force limit is detected, the stand will stop immediately. Then the stand executes the next step. Upper limit Start point Standard point Detect point Point 1 Point 5 Point 5 Point 3 Point 2 Point 4 Point 4 Lower limit Detect the force limit Example Detect object The parameter is the threshold force level for detecting the object.
Parameter If you want to cancel the setting, press ZERO button. Sign of Push direction Space means '+'. Adjust with the UP or DOWN buttons. Pressing the button, the setting will be changed alternately. MODE Save and go to MANU mode SET Acceleration Adjust with the UP or DOWN buttons. MODE Save and go to MANU mode SET Volume of buzzer Adjust with the UP or DOWN buttons.

6. Message of status and error The lower limit was reached. “PUSH LMT” is blinking. If the status is abnormal, move the lower limit switch position. The upper limit was reached. “PULL LMT” is blinking. If the status is abnormal, move the upper limit switch position. The over load of the mounted force gauge occurred in push direction. The over load of the mounted force gauge occurred in pull direction. The emergency stop was pushed. The motor or the driver of the motor was abnormal.
Procedure of the initialization of the parameters 1. Turn off, wait one minute. 2. Press ZERO and SET button both, turn on in keeping to press these buttons. 22 7.
