PALLETIZER
pallets. When loading the Pallet Reel, it is best to look at
the coils first and then the pallet for centering purposes.
The load should be checked on all sides for centering and
to ensure no strapping or wrapping materials are hanging
down off the turntable.
Base Arm Adjustment
As described under Unit Installation (Page 5), the Control
Head Base Arm slides in and out of the leg, closer or
farther away from the table top, for the purpose of clearing
overhanging pallet corners.
This adjustment is made by loosening the two 3/8" nuts
at the Base Arm, positioning the arm as needed, and
retightening the two nuts. See BASE ARM POSITION
DRAWING on page 5.
Ensure that the Control Head Mast is sufficiently away from
the turntable to allow pallet corners to rotate past with
generous free clearance.
Control Head Height Adjustment (Figure 5)
The height of the Control Head is manually adjusted to
accommodate the decreasing height of the coil stack as
coils are fed into the forming equipment.
Loosen the black knob on the Control Head Mast and slide
the Control Head and Support Ring up or down as needed.
When in position, tighten the black knob to secure the
height position.
The Control Head should be adjusted so that the bottom of
the Guide Drum is parallel or somewhat higher than the
bottom edge of the top coil. This setting will allow the strip
to separate from the coil cleanly without hitting the wood
spacers under the coil.
As the coils are expended, the Control Head should be
manually lowered with the start of each new coil. For
narrower width strips, the Control Head may need to be
lowered only for every second or third coil. Experience will
be your best guide.
Pre-Test
Pre-Test operation of the Pallet Reel in the following manner:
1) Apply power to the control. Check “Power On” light is
illuminated.
2) Place Selector Switch Man/Auto in the Man position.
Depress the Jog button for table rotation.
3) Select CW/CCW switch and Motor Arm position for
proper directional setting.
4) Place Selector Switch Man/Auto in the Auto position.
5) Manually slide Guide Drum on Linear Rod. Observe
normal rotation of table (Figure 6)
6) Manipulate Guide Drum to different positions on Linear
Rod. Observe variable rotation speed of table.

7) Release Guide Drum and allow it to fall back to off
position. Observe stopping of table rotation.
8) Extend the Guide Drum to the end of the Linear Rod
travel (Figure 7). Pull the Guide Drum further to activate
the Tight Loop fault. Check that the red Reset pushbutton
is illuminated indicating the Tight Loop fault. Reset the
Tight Loop fault by pushing inward on end of Linear Rod
then pushing the Reset pushbutton to distinguish the red
Reset pushbutton light (Figure 9 on page 9).
