Section C. ACS Operations Overview
Each station has independent sensors to compensate for slight variances in fill time. Once all five sensors read full and all
fill spouts have stopped, the head rises out of the can and the gate opens allowing five cans to pass through it.
C.6
Lid Dispenser
The lid dispenser holds the lids at the optimum angle for contact with the cans passing underneath on the conveyer – refer
to 1 in Figure 17.
The leading edge of each can grabs and pulls a lid out, which falls into place on top of the can, as it passes. CO2 is dispensed
beneath the lid to purge air from the top of can. A new lid is dropped into the tray for every can that comes into contact
with the position sensor at #1 push cylinder.
Lids can be manually dispensed using the “Lid Dispense” button on the Seamer Panel (see Figure 9 on Page 11).
For more information regarding adjustment and troubleshooting, refer to Section D.8.1 Lid Dispenser Adjustment &
Troubleshooting on Page 27 and D.9.2 Lid Dispense Troubleshooting on Page 34.

Parts in Motion: Pneumatics
All of the cylinders on the machine are run pneumatically. Having a general understanding of how these are set up is
important. The actuators, valves, and most of the regulators are contained behind the back panel of the equipment. With
the door open you will see something similar to the Figures below.
