Using the Oscillation Amplitude setting menu you set the amplitude of the oscillation (size of the transverse web displacement) and switch the oscillation on or off.

Adjustment range
The adjustment range for the oscillation amplitude depends on the guiding mode selected and on the sensor used.
Rotate the smartphone by 90 degrees to show the entire table.

* The specified maximum values for the oscillation amplitude apply for a sensor coverage of 50% and guiding setpoint = 0. In the case of a smaller or larger sensor coverage the oscillation amplitude will automatically be restricted, to ensure that the web edge does not leave the sensor scanning area during oscillation.
Automatic restriction of the oscillation amplitude
Oscillation in the Center position operating mode
In the Center position operating mode of the controller, the oscillation is achieved by the actuator carrying out cyclic actuating movements in both directions originating from its central position (depending on the amplitude and frequency set).
In order to prevent the actuator from reaching its end position during the oscillation, the amplitude of the oscillation must be smaller than the maximum available actuating path of the actuator.
Adjusting the oscillation amplitude
WARNING
Danger of death from actuator movements!
When the oscillation is switched on, the actuator automatically carries out actuating movements. Parts of your body could be crushed, cut or hit.
▶Make sure that no persons remain in the vicinity of the pivot / traversing area of machine components that are positioned by the actuator.
