Moving the back wedge too far forward to the
gate assembly can create a pinch point between
the tip of the triangle wedges and the product. If
moving the back wedge in is not effective, then an
optional wedge may be required.
STEP 4:
Wedge Adjustment
Procedure
Adjust the wedge for proper positioning following these steps:
1. Grasp a handful of product, approximately 2 to 2.5 in. (5 to 6
cm) thick, and preshingle the edges with your thumb.
2. Place the pre-shingled product in the hopper so that the edges
rest against the curvature of the gate assembly.
3. Loosen the wedge adjustment lock knob.
4. Move the wedge back and forth until the bottom sheet is not
touching the table top. A good starting point is to measure
about .625 in. (16 mm) from the bottom sheet to front edge
of table top. Then as you test, you can “fine tune” from this
point.
5. Make sure the wedge assembly is parallel with the edge of the
product stack. Adjust as required and tighten the lock knob.
6. To feed longer products you may need to use a secondary
wedge assembly for assistance, called a “low profile” wedge.
It is positioned between the triangle wedge and the feed belts
to give extra support to the product as it resides in the hopper.
It should be adjusted so that the proper amount of belt surface
contacts the bottom piece of the product. The wedges should
be evenly spaced to provide enough support to lift the product
off the table top and feed belts, without any bowing or twist -
ing.
Keep in mind that the back wedge works with
the gate assembly to provide the proper lift,
curvature of the product, and proper belt/product
contact to separate and feed one sheet at a time.
There are a number of feeding problems which
can be solved by simply adjusting the back wedge
to different positions. Some of these problems
include double feeds, skewing, twisting, poor
singulation, ink or varnish buildup on the belts,
and jamming at the gate assembly area.
