Introduction To The Components

The piston comes out, it then pushes on the right
side of the top roller moving that end of the roller
closer to the out feed side of the machine. The belt
will then track to the left side of the machine until
the sanding belt clears the eye. When the eye is
clear, the solenoid valve closes. Air pressure that
is in the air piston will exhaust through the
photoelectric eye, keeping the eye clear of
sawdust.The piston will then be pulled back by
spring pressure making the sanding belt track
towards the right side again and beginning the
cycle over.
NOTE: Under normal working conditions every
time the eye gets covered, the tracking solenoid
will open and close making a clicking sound. It is
normal to hear multiple clicking sounds if the eye
is being covered by an uneven belt edge.
Adjustments must be made when there is not a
clicking sound.
