General Description of Components in the System
A complete control package for part revolution clutch machines includes the following:
1.
Literature folder (see page 13) containing installation manuals, “Operator Safety Precaution” Pamphlet, danger sign(s), electrical control
schematics, and a “Mechanical Power Press Safety” Booklet
2.
Control box—standard (custom or special includes motor controls and/or disconnect switch) with danger and warning signs attached
3.
Monitored dual solenoid air valve assembly
4.
Filter-regulator-lubricator assembly including connector and mounting bracket
5.
Air pressure switch (two required if machine has air counterbalance)
6.
Check valve for counterbalance system (if required)
7.
Resolver/pulser assembly, spring base, and 40’ cable
8.
Sprocket set to drive resolver/pulser assembly
9.
Chain (10 feet with master link)
10.
Palm button assembly (Includes two black palm buttons, two palm button guards, one red emergency-stop button, and mounting boxes.
When the
Continuous
mode of operation is required, one yellow top-stop button with mounting box is furnished.) If multiple operator stations
are on a machine, more than one assembly is furnished.
11.
Foot switch (optional)—If multiple operator stations are on a machine, more than one foot switch is furnished.
12.
Supervisory control station (Required when multiple operator stations are used on the machine; one station is required for each operator.)
13.
Multiple operator junction box (When multiple operator stations are required, this junction box is furnished separately for wiring up to four
operator stations.)
14.
Other required components and safeguarding that may be necessary for the machine (See packing list for details.)
Individual packages may vary in contents. However, a packing list is always enclosed showing exactly what material was shipped on this order. Please check
the components actually received against this packing list immediately. In most cases, this control package system includes two-hand control which can
be used as a point-of-operation safeguarding device provided the palm buttons are mounted correctly and at the proper safety distance (see formulas on
pages 27 and 28 of this manual). If the optional foot switch is provided, a safeguard must always be used. Examples of safeguards include barrier guards,
presence-sensing devices, pullbacks, restraints, gates, or two-hand control. The hands or any other part of the body of an operator, maintenance person,
setup person, etc., must never be put into the point-of-operation hazard for any reason, at any time.
These controls can neither cure nor overcome a malfunctioning machine. They cannot compensate for or
prevent a mechanical defect or failure of a machine part. These controls cannot prevent a repeat or unintended
stroke (cycle) resulting from a mechanical malfunction, defect or failure of the machine itself.
Preliminary Steps Before Installation
Before proceeding with the installation of the enclosed equipment, you should undertake the following preliminary steps.
1.
Read and make sure you understand this entire installation manual.
2.
Refer to the front cover, other line drawings and photos, then make a rough sketch of your installation to plan the location of the enclosed
equipment on the machine.
3.
This may be an opportunity to strip down the entire machine by removing all components, piping, wire, etc. Clean, paint and check the entire
mechanical condition of the machine, including the clutch and brake, for proper adjustment and required replacement parts before proceeding
with the installation of the furnished equipment.
