5.2 Mechanical adjustment of the stations
5.2.1 Cone feed station adjustment
Turn on the cone feed station using the switch (Pos.
12, Fig. 5.17) on the control panel.
Work the jog switch (Pos. 8, Fig. 5.17) until the
upper cone holder blades open.
With the machine stopped and the cone stop blades
open, insert two cones into the magazine (Pos. 1,
Fig. 5.2).
Check that the cone in the released position rests
correctly in the calliper holes in the oscillating levers
(Pos. 2, Fig. 5.2), then make sure that the cone in
the released position is 5 mm below the stop blade.
Make sure that the oscillating cone release levers
5.2.2 Cup feed station adjustment
Work the jog switch (Pos. 9, Fig. 5.17) to position
the suction cups at their maximum height.
Loosen the screws (Pos. 1, Fig. 5.3a) and check
that the vacuum on sensor (Pos. 2, Fig. 5.3a) is in
the correct position.
Next put a cup into the cup magazine and check
that the blades (Pos. 1, Fig. 5.3) hold the cup in
place without squashing it. Adjust the height of the
cup feed by turning the knob (Pos. 2, Fig. 5.3) until
Fig. 5.3
hold the cornets without exerting too much pressure.
If the distance is greater than 5 mm, lower the mo-
bile part of the cone stop blade and magazine
support. If the released cone is between the cone
stop blades, raise the mobile part of the cone stop
blade and magazine support to the correct height.
After these adjustments, make sure that the cone
pusher plate just touches the edge of the cornet; if
not, adjust its position.
At this point check that at low speed the cone is
released immediately after the lamella chain has
stopped.
the suction cup touches the bottom of the cup.
Carry out the procedure described above when
changing product format.

NOTE:
If the machine is set up to produce different types of
cups, make a note of the correct settings for each
type to speed up changeover procedures.
