Chapter 3: Installing the FT-70
3-3
Before You Begin
Before you begin installing your FT-70, read this manual
thoroughly so that you understand the installation processes and
all installation requirements (chapter 2).
We strongly recommended that you arrange for an Industrial
Dynamics Field Representative to be present to supervise plant
personnel during the installations and to review the completed
installation.
Basic Terminology
Throughout this manual you will encounter certain terminology
that you may be unfamiliar with, or may have a different meaning
than it is normally associated with.
• Downstream is the direction of the conveyor flow. Anything
that is past the reference point, in the direction of the flow, is
downstream.
• Upstream is the direction opposite, or against, the conveyor
flow. Anything that is before the reference point, in the
direction opposite of the flow, is upstream.
• Reference Point is the place on the conveyor being referenced.
This is usually either the FT-70 or the rejector.
• Container is the bottle, can, jug, jar, or package that holds the
product. The size and shape of the container depends upon
your application and can be made of either glass, metal, or
plastic.
• Inspection System includes both the FT-70 and the rejector.
• Inspection Head is the FT-70 unit only.
• Rejector is the rejector mechanism only (Servotec or Proline).
• Conveyor is the main production conveyor the FT-70 is to be
installed on.
• Takeaway Conveyor is also called the reject conveyor. This is
the conveyor or bin that rejected containers are moved to by
the rejector.
