F.1.3
Can Table Height Adjustment
The can platform must be set at a height that ensures adequate tension – or “base-plate pressure” - on the can so as to
ensure the can does not slip on the platform during the seaming cycle. This base plate pressure must not be so high
however that it crushes or wrinkles the can during the cycle.
When the can platform is in the 'up' position the can should be firmly
locked in place against the chuck. To regulate the amount of pressure
exerted on the can (from top to bottom) during the seaming cycle the
height of the can platform can be adjusted.
Steps to set up or adjust the can seam height:
You can access the can seam height set screw in front of the
can platform.
With the unit in manual mode, actuate the can lift button so
that the can platform is extended.
Loosen the can seam height set bolt 2 or 3 turns.
Grasp the middle section indicated above by the red arrow in
Figure 42 (not the top section on which the can rests).
Turn clock-wise to increase the height, counter clock-wise to
lower it.
For initial set up, raise the platform until there is tension
against the can.
Drop the platform (with the selector button) and remove the can.
Raise the platform again and continue increasing the height of the platform for a further half to ¾ turn.
Tighten the set screw.
IMPORTANT: If at any time during operation you see a can ‘slip’ or hesitate during the seaming process (instead of spinning
continuously during the seaming cycle) the can platform height must be increased.
