Figure 1 : Enabling Sensor
The sensor checks the primer depth when initiating a single cycle or pressing Run. If a case is not present
in station #5 or a case has an upside down, no primer or a primer set at a depth +/-
.025”
off the desired
primer depth a notification can appear. You must clear the notification before continuing or disable the
sensor.
The Primer Orientation sensor if set properly will also detect a Shellplate index fault. If the sensor is
enabled and a case is located in station 5 with a primer installed properly the sensor will allow the
machine to perform a cycle. During the cycle i
f the sensor doesn’t detect the advancement of the
Shellplate on the upstroke a notification can appear. If the notification appears on the screen clear the
Shellplate and check the mechanical indexing components before continuing operating the press.
