Section 4 Troubleshooting
STEP 5:
Running Test Cycles
For vacuum base applications:
1. With the feeder already fully loaded and powered On, run the
vacuum base through several cycles.
2. Notice transition of material from feeder gate assembly area
to the transfer area of the vacuum base. Adjust feeder hori -
zontally as needed (refer back to Section 2, “Installing the
Machine”).
3. Adjust feeder speed as needed to coincide with transport belt
speed.
It might be helpful to know that a properly set
gap will allow the leading edge of sheet to enter
at about the center line of the cylinder, as the
previous or bottom sheet is exiting the gate
assembly area.
TIP
STEP 4:
Setting/Adjusting Speed
1. Set the variable speed control to the lowest speed (counter-
clockwise).
Feeder motor stops if turned completely counter-
clockwise.
2. Start by slowly turning the control clockwise to gradually in -
crease feeder speed to coincide with the production line speed
of your particular application.
Turn the feeder power On by pushing the horizontal line ( — ) at the
Power
On/Off rocker switch.
• For feeders equipped with an extenal run option, feeder
motor will not run until the entire base power switch is
turned On (feeder On/Off is controlled via external run
input cable).
STEP 3:
Powering On Feeder
Make sure:
• Leading edge of bottom sheet stops at proper location.
• Proper separation is occurring at gate assembly area.
• Material is not skewing.
• Effective preshingling is occurring at curvature of gate assembly.
• Material is not being damaged during cycling.
• Feeder is secured and will not move during operation.
