FILM FEED ASSEMBLY
PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR (con’t)
Adjustment of the photoelectric sensor involves
calibrating the sensor’s range to approximately 2”
from the front of the finger plate. This range has
been determined to be effective for hand loading
applications to prevent accidental triggering of the
sensor with one’s hand or the product itself.
Setting the sensor includes the following steps.
- Ensure machine power is on.
1. Place a solid object 2” from the front finger
plate of the machine, being careful to keep it
parallel to the plate. The object should be
located such that the sensor beam hits the
object. (See Figure 3-146).
2. On the rear of the sensor, there is a digital
display which will show a number. Record the
number, as it will be needed in the following
step.
3. Remove the object used in step 1 from the
front of the machine. Using the “up” and
“down” arrows on either side of the display,
adjust the preset value until it matches the
number recorded in step two above. This will
set the sensing range to approximately 2”.
