Settings and descriptions
DELAY TIMES (in seconds)
Can Gripper Ext/Ret Time:
This delay will control how much time the system will wait before the can
slide begins to move the can toward the seamer after the fill cycle is
complete.
If the delay is too short, the can slide will move before the can is fully gripped and may cause issues with loss of product/damaged cans.

All of the settings under the Station Speed title are set as percentages (out
of 100%) to control the speed of the can slide (and gripper) as it moves from
the fill head to the seamer and back.

from the fill station to the end of the DO Hood (see figure 2).
