Checking and adjusting the timer
The screw transport feed differs depending on screw type.
This machine can make screw unloading smooth through timer adjustment. For screws with a
low transport speed, set the timer long. For screws with a high transport speed, set the timer
short.
This machine continues its operation when no screw is found at the screw pick up site. The
machine continues operating with a screw at the pickup site but will stop, after a certain lapse
of time, if the screw is not picked up. This time lapse can be varied by adjusting the timer. After
the screw is picked up, the machine starts operating again.
Check the operation by intercepting the optical axis of the sensor.
Make an adjustment with the timer knob at the rear of the machine body (as shown in the figure
on the right).
When the timer knob is turned clockwise, as viewed from the rear side, the time becomes
shorter. When the knob is turned counterclockwise, the time becomes longer.
Make this adjustment, by using the accompanying screwdriver, within the allowable
turning range, without using excessive force.
Do an operational check with screws loaded in the scooping chamber and set the timer
properly.
