Description:

The leading edge (LE) clamp actuator generally lowers into a notch in the LE clamps. This drum_unload_offset parameter specifies an offset between the actuator and the notch which can be used to force the clamps to open wider than normal during an UNLOAD. Opening the clamps wider reduces the chances of a plate getting stuck in the clamps.

Type:

Default:

• 0

Range:

• 0 to 36000 [ticks]

Notes:

This parameter should be used only with the newer LE film guide (ECO #C547, stainless steel mounts). Using this feature with the old LE film guide (black plastic mounts) will cause the film guide to bind on the LEC. If no film guide is installed, the parameter can still be used.

For Creo encoders (9000 ticks), values will range between 100 and 175 with a typical value being around 125 ticks.

For Heidenhain encoders (5000 ticks), values will range between 50 and 100.

Only supported in firmware versions 1.10 and above.
