VE-1P Vertical Edger

SECTION 4 (continued)
6)
Reverse the conveyor and move the glass out of the edger.
7)
Turn the vertical adjustment handwheel clockwise to adjust the height of the
grinding wheel to grind off approximately 0.025” (.63mm) of glass. Each
clockwise turn of the handwheel moves the spindle up 0.063” (1.6mm). Lock
the adjustment handle in the position using the jam nut and tighten the
spindle lock.
8)
Run the test glass completely through the edger so that the edge is ground.
Examine the ground edge to ensure that the glass is striking the wheel at the
center of the groove.
9)
If the glass is not striking the center of the groove, use the horizontal
adjustment plate to center the wheel on the glass. To move this plate,
loosen the gib lock (“
E
”) and rotate the handwheel (“
B
”) clockwise to move
the wheel forward and counterclockwise to move the wheel back.
10)
Recheck all screws and nuts for each adjustment and retighten if necessary.
11)
Run the test glass completely through the edger. Make adjustments in
wheel height and groove centering to produce a minimum amount of glass
removal with the desired edge. At the same time, check the alignment of
the “Infeed to Center Section to Outfeed”. The glass should remain
straight. It should not ride up or down during grinding. The amount of
glass removed should be constant from end to end.
12)
If the edger is to be used for polishing, position and adjust the polishing
wheel so it makes contact with the glass (see “WARNING” at the beginning
of this section) and repeat steps 4 through 10 to adjust the polishing wheel.
If a new polishing wheel is installed and is not dressed for thickness of
glass and profile of edge, refer to Section 6 for dressing procedure.
