Inspect a Pallet
Inspect pallets for wear on a regular basis and each time a pallet is removed from
the SuperTrak conveyance platform. Inspect the pallet:
Handle pallets carefully to avoid damage to the pallet components.
Pallet
Component Inspection Resolution
Anti-static
brush Verify that the two (2) screws that
secure the anti-static brush are tight. Tighten any loose anti-static
brush screws.
The nominal length of a new anti-static
brush is 4.05 mm (0.159 in.). When
0.5 mm (0.02 in.) of the anti-static brush
is worn away, it will not make contact
with the upper v-rail.
Visually inspect the anti-static brush.
Make sure that at least 90% of the
bristles remain. If more than 20% of the
bristles are worn away, replace the anti-
static brush.
Replace the anti-static brush.
See
Replace a Pallet Anti-Static
Brush on page 206.
Bumpers Verify that all bumpers are installed and
compliant with the SuperTrak
conveyance platform application. If
required, install or adjust the bumpers.
See the main system mechanical
drawings for compliance information. For
example, the bumpers may require
extensions. Replace the pallet bumper.
See
Replace a Pallet Bumper on
page 198.
Pallet encoder
strip assembly Visually inspect the encoder strip
assembly and the encoder assembly for
damage. Use a magnetic viewing film to
verify the magnetic poles. If required, replace the encoder
assembly.
See
Replace an Encoder
Assembly on page 165, and
Inspect a Pallet Encoder Strip on
page 248.
Screws Verify that all pallet screws are secure.
Make sure components do not have
unexpected movement. The only
components that should have movement
are: v-wheels, spring-compliance of the
lubrication Felt, anti-static bristles, and a
small amount of vertical movement in
the flat wheels (
≤ 0.5 mm [ ≤ 0.02 in.]).
If required, tighten the screws.
