About the Six Shooter Controls
Clear Screws:
If screws get jammed in the six shooter,
press to clear the line. Pull away from
the machine and press the button cause
air blasts in the line.
Reset:
Reset raises the Six-Shooter, putting all
the cylinders back in the Start position.
NOTE:
If tilt cylinder is set to
retract too fast, it can cause the Six
Shooter to jump out of the pocket
and bounce on the top rail
Insert Screw:
When the Six-Shooter is in the pocket
position and the operator has inserted a
hinge into the screw receiver block hinge
holder you are now ready to insert
screws.
Load / Unload:
If equipped with quick dump hopper (OPT.Z),
this button would be used to operate this
option.
Unclamp:
Allows the operator a choice to release the
door either from a foot pedal or a Six-Shooter
mounted mushroom button.
Start Sequence:
The start sequence drops the Six-Shooter into
the pocket while starting motor for hydraulics.
It also drops the screws down aided with air
injection (if equipped) to speed the screw feed
process
Hopper Slide Valve:
The hopper slide valve provides the operator a remote air shut-off that controls air flow to the
screw hopper to aid in un-jamming debris in the screw drop zone.
Safety Insert Screw Slide Valve:
The insert screw slide valve provides the operator a remote air shut-off to prevent the Six-Shooter
head from moving in when performing maintenance on the screw driver assembly. It also is a
good practice to shut slide valve OFF when not in use.
Screw Driver in close trap
This allows the Six-Shooter to hold the Apex bits in close to the screw receiver tubes. This
prevents the screws from bouncing out during the screw application. It is also helpful when
replacing bits or doing maintenance on 3-degree bevel front section. Just plunge the head and flip the trap out of position.
This will allow the head to retract to the back position.
