Operator interface apparatus and method for adjusting binding line timing

摘要

A timing-adjustment apparatus and method for adjusting a gathering section of a binding line is operable during an initial operational sequence of the binding line for storing a defined time period during which a condition of a feeding device of the binding line is expected to arise in each subsequent operational sequence of the binding line. The apparatus is operable during a subsequent operational sequence of the binding line for either developing an indication for an operator of the binding line that the defined time period has been reached and enabling the operator to change the defined time period in a subsequent operational sequence based on the indication or for automatically updating the defined time period during the subsequent operational sequence in response to operator input to the apparatus.
