13.5 Gate Pressure Regulator
(Figure 13-3)
The gate air pressure is controlled by a
regulator mounted under the machine frame.
This provides adjustment of the gate lifting
force. When lightweight boxes are being
run, the gate pressure can be reduced to
minimize lifting of the box.
13.6 Gate Stroke Setting
(Figure 13-4)
The machine is initially set at the maximum
gate lift of 25mm [1 inch]. This can be
reduced if needed for special situations.
To do this, remove the center roller section
and turn the stop nuts clockwise until the
desired lift is achieved.
