3.4 CAPACITIES
The maximum capacity for the bundle loader is 4,000 pounds (1815 Kg). The maximum capacity per
strap is 800 pounds (365 Kg). For example, if you have a bundle of material 12 feet long, it will span
two straps. Therefor, the most you can load at one time is 1,600 pounds (730 Kg).
4.0 MAINTENANCE
5.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
There are not many things that can fail on the bundle loader itself.
Listed below are some of the possible problems and solutions.
THE LOADER MAY LOAD MORE THAN ONE PIECE ON THE TABLE, CAUSING A JAM.
If this happens, the guide arms are not properly adjusted or one of the proximity switches on the
guide arm has failed, allowing the feed rollers to feed more than one piece at a time.
The material, no matter what length, must be loaded so that it feeds through the first guide (the
one closest to the saw). The sensor that detects the material is attached to the first leg assembly. If
the material is loaded in any other position, the sensor will tell the PLC that there is no material
loaded.
THE STRAPS OVER TRAVEL, SHUTTING THE LOADER DOWN.
This is caused by the improper setting of the overall stroke of the loader. Place the selector switch
in the START position. Press the START button and turn the selector switch to the FEED
DOWN position. This should relax the lifting straps and reset the safety switch.
FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON SETTING THE STROKE, REFER TO SECTION 3.2.
THE LOADER WILL NOT LOAD MATERIAL ONTO THE TABLE.
The three position switch may not be in the right position. The material proximity sensor may
have failed. The material proximity sensor has a power indicator light built into it that will tell you
if the sensor is working.
All of the shaft bearings should be greased once per day. The drive chains should be oiled once a week.
The condition of the lifting straps should be checked every morning. They should be checked for frayed
or broken strands and for oil and grease contamination that may weaken the straps. Any straps found
with any of the above conditions should be replaced immediately.
