Preparing for Operation
When performing initial feeder adjustments prior to operation, always make sure you turn Off the main power switch and
disconnect all equipment from the electrical power source. Failure to do so can expose you to a potential startup and moving parts
which can cause serious injury.
Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the feeder and machine of application are running. Failure to do so can expose you
to moving parts which can cause serious injury. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the feeder.
Avoid making adjustments with loose or unsecured parts. This can potentially damage parts.
Once the V-1400IJ is installed on your host system, you are then ready
to prepare the machine for operation. To do so, perform the following
steps:
1: Lateral feed belt adjustment
2: Gate/knockdown adjustment
3: Side guide setting
4: Back wedge adjustment
5: Verifying proper installation
STEP 1:
Lateral Feed Belt
Adjustment
Smaller size product may use only the middle belt where as larger
product will likely use the two outside feed belts. The middle feed
belt is stationary and has no lateral adjustment. Since this belt is
located exactly in the center, it should be used as reference for the bal -
ance of the feed belt set-up. If the outside belts are used, they should
be positioned towards the outside edge of the product for the benefit of
drive and support. They are adjusted using the knobs located on each
side of the feeder.
