TAC-7X
MANUAL
The system air supply is filtered at (F-1) and overall system air pressure is
regulated by Regulator (R-1). (FOR LOCATION OF COMPONENTS,
REFER TO FIGURES 6-1 & 6-2, in the Maintenance section). The air
pressure at R-1 should be approximately 85 PSIG, and may be
monitored with Pressure Gauge (G-1). Pressure to maintain the slide
cylinder (SC-1) in the up (ready-to-crimp) position is regulated by Regulator
(R-2). This pressure should be approximately 20 PSIG, and may be
monitored with Pressure Gauge (G-1) by depressing PB-1 switch.
Regulators(R-3 and R-4) are factory-adjusted to approximately 4 to 8 PSIG
to provide low pressure pilot signals for the slide and crimp complete
sensors. No adjustments should be made unless absolutely certain the
adjustment is required. Indiscriminate changes to regulator or switch
settings should not be made. A clean air supply is imperative to proper
system operation. Filter F-1 should be drained or changed, as required.

Initial Turn-On/
Reset
Reset occurs any time the operator-controlled sleeve valve is initially
closed, or opened and then closed.
Upon closing the sleeve valve, air pressure is supplied to the TAC.
When the sleeve value is closed, the TAC cycles to insure that all cylinders
are in the proper position:
-Crimp Cylinder is retracted: V-1 OFF
-Transfer Arm is extended (forward): V-2 OFF
-Escapement Cylinder is Retracted
-Slide Cylinder is extended: V-3 OFF
-Wire Funnel Cylinders are retracted: V-3 OFF
No contact will be fed to the Transfer Tip. Depressing the First Part (FP- 1A)
pushbutton switch momentarily while the feeder-bowl is on and properly set,
will advance the system to place a contact in the Transfer Tip. .
(S-3) is switched on when the First Part Pushbutton is depressed.
