Minimum Gap between Products

Issue

When 2 products come too close together, your controller says “Got another product at PD[1] before product distance [200] passed. Sometimes the inkjet will say “Print-go but no print confirmation” because the next trigger comes too soon. Check photoeye or product distance

You do not print on the product but can’t you open the gate, I don’t want blank products going to my customer.

 

Explanation

 

By setting the product to product distance to 110, the controller will signal an error if the next product comes less than 90% of the product distance, also, it disregards the product. So, yes, it is a blank product on the conveyor.

 

 

Minimum Gap

Since the product is very close to product 2, what we are going to do is divert both product 2 and the blank product.

Go to d:/editorgt/user/system/arguments.txt and go to the box line

box –mingap 120

That will do that the controller will divert product 2 and the blank product if the gap is below 120% of the product length declared in product detect 1..
