18.9. Feeder Sequence of Operation
7.1 - Homing the Machine
The feeder must be homed when power is first applied to the machine.
During the homing cycle first the carriage beam moves to its home position which is the
located in the full upward beam position. Then the gantry moves to its home position which is
located in the far reverse position where the gantry is in the picking position.
Homing is initiated by placing the Mode selector switch to Auto and then pressing the Home
Machine button on the touch screen Main screen.
7.2 - Find Stack
Once the machine is Homed, or when a new stack is placed in the feeder, it is advantageous to
allow the feeder to determine the height of the stack.
Pressing the Find Stack button on the Main screen of the touch screen will cause the carriage
beam to begin lowering in search of the top of the stack.
When the plunger sensor detects the top of the stack, the stack height is recorded, and the
carriage beam returns to Home position.
