hinge on the magnetic hinge blocks, pressing a button shifts the center and right guns laterally,
then all three guns travel downwards and index into “H” block fixtures at each hinge location, and
fasten the hinges simultaneously. A fourth hinge can be added afterwards as described earlier with
an extra hinge machining sequence. One hinge is placed on the appropriate screw-driving head
and sequenced to fasten the fourth hinge.
This machine is equipped with a solid state touch screen and industrial PC. The touch screen also
includes the capability to view the status of the various photo eyes and switches for quick diagno-
sis when needed, without having to open the electrical panel or for the operator to leave his work
station. The Touch Screen logic also includes management functions such as Daily and Lifetime
Totals. When connected to the internet, the PC allows remote support and monitoring of machine
functions from Kval in Petaluma, CA.
Door and jamb clamp reference: The door will clamp downwards rather than upwards and the
jamb reference will be to jamb stop (top of H block not staging block for jamb edge). This pro-
vides a consistent dimension between jamb weather strip and door face when the door is closed.
Minor variations in door thickness will be seen instead between the jamb edge and door face – a
thin door for instance will be spaced inside the frame slightly. Removable spacers will be fabri-
cated to insert in the top of each “H” block to compensate for jambs with weather stripping, or for
jambs without weather stripping, and to reference jambs with 38mm backset for 35mm doors.
Note: spacers will need to be chamfered on outside "H" blocks to protect weather stripping during
shift for fourth hinge.
