This variation occurs due to an improperly over or under adjusted mechanical high-speed clutch, starter clutch or band brake. For example, if your cycle time on a job layout is planned at 2.0 seconds, you are more than likely losing 10% or more in productivity, or almost 200 parts per hour - with only 2 tenths variation in cycle time! Logan can guarantee cycle time repeat- ability over millions of parts, all without ever stopping the machine to mechanically adjust a clutch or band brake. Even better, if your layout completes the machining cycle in less than 50 hundredths, your set-up personnel can adjust the high and low shift points in degrees or hundredths to speed up the job.
