The flow controls must be installed correctly to provide the necessary speed
control of the swing action. Incorrect installation will result in improper
operation.
With both of the air cylinders extended, install the yellow tube in the fitting located on
the tamp pad. Route the tubing to the rear of the applicator through the provided access
holes and plug the tube into the “Y” fitting on the pneumatic assembly. With the yellow
tubing installed, align the smart tamp sensor wiring along the same path. Push the
connector and wire through the same hole in the faceplate to the rear of the machine.
Route the connector through one of the holes in the electronics module and connect it to
the J6/SS connector on the PC board.
Push the green tube over the end of the barb fitting on the lower end of the swing tamp
air cylinder until approximately 1/4 to 3/8 inch of the barb fitting is inside the tube. Push
the red tube over the end of the barb fitting on the upper end of the swing tamp air
cylinder until approximately 1/4 to 3/8 inch of the barb fitting is inside the tube. Route
the green and red tubes through the access hole (with the yellow tube) to the back of the
applicator. A color cap on the fittings will aid in selecting the correct port or fitting to
connect the tubes to. Plug the red and green tubes into the color-coded fittings on the
pneumatic manifold. By hand, push the tamp pad to the non-extended position and back
to the extended position. Ensure that the wiring and the red, green, and yellow tubes are
not restricted or pinched in any way. Position a flow control along the red tube in the
approximate location of the tampjet solenoid valve mounting. Cut the tubing in two and
insert the flow control in between the two ends observing the proper arrow orientation as
indicated in the diagram. Repeat the process to install the flow control in the green tube.
Again, by hand, push the tamp pad to the non-extended position and back to the extended
position to verify no tubing issues.
Install the grey tube in the flow control on the lower end of the 12” tamp air cylinder.
Install the black tubing in the flow control on the upper end of the tamp air cylinder. By
hand, push both of the air cylinders to the extended position. Route the black and grey
tubing with the other tubes already installed. Connect the black and grey tubes to the
indicated tubing fittings on the pneumatic manifold. By hand, extend and retract all of
the air cylinders to ensure that none of the tubes or wires are restricted or pinched in any
way.
