5226; On Double Folders Allow Upper Retract to Move Before Clamp
Pathfinder
Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.
Usually on our retrofitted double folders the upgrade comes with a new HPU which allows axes to move at the same time. This allows the upper retract to move out of the way at the same time as the clamp moves down. If the machine does not have this capability the clamp was moving down into a clamped position with the upper retract still at home. It looks bad and the bending beam is usually at its home position too which can damage the part.
The fix was to move the upper retract out of the way before moving the clamp down.
