Product Information MODEL 9600 Microprocessor Control Unique Design Controls all Jetline Motors State of the Art Technology For Longitudinal Welding For Circumferential Welding For Wire Feeders Introduction The 9600 series of microprocessor controls is the latest in Jetline's range of modern, efcient and unique controls. Each 9600 control uses identical control hardware with the same size front panel and controls. Operators rapidly become familiar with the user-friendly layout. For years, the welding industry has accepted the same type of control for motor speed and sequencing. The industry is familiar with speed control potentiometers and switches to control direction, travel jog, standard and rapid speed. Inside these traditional controls were many relays and other electromechanical devices, all of which had a potential for failure. While, over the years, improvements were made to these controls with the addition of speed meters and ten-turn potentiometers, these were, at best, a "x" which made only marginal improvement to the operation of the system. WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY Jetline's new 9600 series controls are a new dimension in control technology and use. Gone are all the old ideas and outdated thinking - this range of controls is new in every feature: • New microprocessor-based control technology. • New solid-state circuitry to eliminate electromechanical relays and components. • New user-friendly front panel layout • New closed-loop control for higher accuracy and stability. Description The 9600 series controls are designed to control all motor-driven Jetline equipment. For motors up to 1/2hp, the control incorporates a motor controller. For larger, or for extra-precision applications, the control is used with an external motor control module. The control is housed in a cabinet with provision for mounting on the face of a travel carriage or other suitable mounting face. The unit connects with the motor and other equipment through Amphenol connectors. The unique feature of the 9600 series of controls is that they are all software-driven. This means that a control which is identical physically can be used for many different applications. Custom-written routines, developed by Jetline software engineers, guide the operator through the set up and weld procedure. Software programs have been prepared for longitudinal welding, circumferential welding and for wire feeding. Much research has gone into the design of the front panel. Operating switches and controls have been selected for their tactile feel. The start and stop buttons can be easily located. The stop button protrudes further than the start button to simplify identication. Speed control is effected through a knob which incorporates detents. The operator can therefore change the travel speed in known increments. Adjustment is "speed-sensitive". A more rapid turn of the knob changes the setting in larger increments. A large, mushroom head emergency stop switch is provided to shut down the complete process. A pushbutton switch is included to switch the main power on and off. 15 Goodyear St, Irvine, California, 92618 U.S.A. • Tel: (949) 951-1515 • Fax: (949) 951-9237

MODEL 9600 MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL Setting of the speed and other features is aided by a backlit LCD display. Custom-designed software takes the operator through a set of routines to permit the setting of speed, delays and other ancillary operations. The operator scrolls through the options using two touch-sensitive pads at the side of the display. 9640 A second pair of touch-sensitive pads at the lower right corner of the front panel provides jogging capabilities. Jog speeds for forward and reverse jog are independently adjustable. 9629 In addition to the convenient mode of operation, the...
