2.6.1 Compressed Air
The WF-10T requires an air supply that must be clean and dry, and must not drop below 75 PSI
to a maximum of 90 PSI. The air supply should be clean and dry, and the air-line should have a
minimum inside diameter of 1/2”. The incoming air supply line must be of sufficient diameter to
provide an adequate amount of air without the pressure dropping when the machine is cycling.
One of the most common causes of inconsistent machine performance is inadequate air supply.
Therefore, the foregoing requirements must be carefully observed in order to assure satisfactory
operation.
The WF-10T is equipped with a manual compressed air
ON-OFF
/dump valve, unless otherwise
specified, and a filter-regulator that regulates the air pressure to the proper setting, and ensures
that any water is drained from the filter.
With the electrical power
OFF
, open the manual shutoff valve and check that the regulator is set
to a pressure of 90 PSI. After connecting the electrical power (see Section 2.6.2), switch the
electrical power
ON
; all cylinders should revert to their
HOME
positions, and there should be no
evidence of air leaks. See Section 6.2:
‘Start-up’
. To check that the pneumatic components of
each mechanism are functioning properly, the solenoid valves may be operated mechanically.
