Next, operate the switch to the manual position and release. The Drive Plate will index to the
next position. After indexing, again actuate the switch to the down or ‘Manual’ position and hold
it long enough to check the run out of the cartridge. The spindle will rotate the case in the
counter-clockwise direction. When the case begins to spin, note whether it moves from left-to-
right or right-to-left.
If the cartridge moves from left-to-right, the Carrier Plate needs to be adjusted slightly
clockwise. If the cartridge moves from right-to-left, the Carrier Plate needs to be adjusted
slightly counter-clockwise. It will usually only take a small amount of movement of the Carrier
Plate to get it to place the cartridge case in the center of the spindle.
Our intent here is to get the cartridge case to fully rotate without hitting the Carrier Plate while
rotating. If you want to get the case to rotate dead true that is okay, but it is not usually
necessary.
Please repeat these steps until your cartridge case type runs as described above. Make sure
the last operation of the ‘Manual’ switch was to rotate the spindle.
(‘Auto’ Mode will not work
unless the last ‘Manual’ function rotates the spindle).
8. Next remove all of your cartridge cases from the Carrier Plate and install your Clamps and
Torches to your machine as shown. Please see below.
Then place a single cartridge case in the next upcoming station. Index the case by operating
the switch to the ‘Manual’ position. After indexing, adjust your torches to approximately pass
through the case center line while looking from above. Then looking from the side of the
machine, adjust your torches to where it appears that the flame will hit the case approximately
in the midpoint of the shoulder. Please try to keep the torch nozzles parallel to the Carrier Plate
to prevent it from getting any hotter than necessary. This is especially true if annealing shorter
cases.
When you are satisfied that your setup looks like the pictures shown, actuate the ‘Manual’
switch one more time to rotate the spindle and remove the cartridge case.
