2 InstallingtheMachineOnce the Feeder is installed on your host system, you are ready to prepare the machine for operation. To do so, set up the material you are going to be feeding. Do a test run with this material to verify it is set correctly before you begin cycling the feeder with your particular application. You will have to perform this procedure for material you plan to feed.

When performing initial feeder adjustments prior to operation, always make sure you turn Off the main power switch and disconnect all equipment from the electrical power source. Failure to do so can expose you to a potential start-up and moving parts which can cause serious injury.

Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the feeder and machine of application are running. Failure to do so can expose you to moving parts which can cause serious injury. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the feeder.

Avoid making adjustments with loose or unsecured parts. This can potentially damage parts.

STEP1: GateAssemblyAdjustment

ReviewThe gate assembly provides the curvature to help preshingle material and the proper gap to help the feed belts pull material through the gate assembly area — one at a time. The downward pressure (or weight) of the stack in the hopper will provide the force to help push the mate-rial against the curvature of the gate assembly, and help it contact the feed belts. This preshingling will allow the gate assembly to efficiently separate (and singulate) material.

To achieve the optimum separation, you have to use the adjustment knob to either increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) the gap between the gate assembly and the feed belts. Depending on the characteristics of the material you are using, you may have to change the gate assembly from the factory-set high spring tension to a low spring tension. See “Changing from Factory Set High-Tension to Low-Tension” to follow (page 8).

ObjectiveAdjust the gate assembly for minimum gap, with minimum pressure on the material. Your objective is to adjust the clearance so that a single piece of material passes without resistance. The optimum set-ting should be a gap adjustment of 1.5 thickness of material.

Keep in mind the gate assembly works with the wedge to provide the proper lift, curvature of the material, and proper belt/material contact to separate and feed one piece at a time.

Hopper refers to the space where the material is stacked (made up of the side guides).

Feeding problems will occur with either too much material in the hopper, or too large a gap between the gate assembly and the material.

The adjustments you must make (in order) are as follows:1: Gate adjustment2: Side guides setting3: Lateral feed belt adjustment4: Back wedge adjustment5: Photo sensor adjustment6: Manual test to verify


Excessive lowering of the gate assembly can damage product or lead to premature wear of the O-rings or feed belts.

A wider gap between product and belt provides the highest tolerance for curled and bent edges.

Lift gate assembly upward to insert product

Feeding problems will occur with either too much product in the hopper, or too large a gap between the gate assembly and the product.

When feeding product with varying thickness, it may be necessary to adjust the two gates individually for the different thicknesses. Use one piece thickness to set gap

STEP1: GateAdjustment(continued)

Decide whether one or two gates will be needed. This is usually based on the material size and the function of separating. They should be placed over the belts or over the two outside belts.1. Position the gate (over the middle feed belt or the two outside

belts) and position the knockdown approximately 1/16" above product (or a gap which allows unimpeded feeding). Tighten the lock knob.

2. Slide a single piece of product between the feed belt and the gate. 3. Rotate the gate adjustment knob either up or down until the

product can be pulled from under the gate assembly with a slight amount of drag.

4. Repeat the drag tests and adjust as needed to achieve acceptable clearance.

5. When using two gates, position each gate and repeat steps 1 through 4.

STEP2A: SideGuideAdjustment

1. Loosen each side guide lock knob. This will allow you to move each side guide individually from side to side.

2. Each guide is attached by a pin and slot mechanism allowing the guide to adjust vertically approximately ½ inch. To move over a feed belt, lift the side guide and move it laterally. After it has passed over the belts, push the side guide down in the slot.

3. Center the product to be run on the middle belt and position both side guides close to the edge of the product (approximately 1/16th inch) by turning the side guide adjustment knobs.

4. Place a handful of pre-shingled product in the hopper and against the gate(s).

5. Test run to assure proper feeding and singulation.

6. Tighten the side guide lock knobs to secure the position.

7. Use the pre-gate bar for product that stacks unevenly in the hop-per. It will hold product in place to keep it from falling through the center area of the hopper. Refer to the Hopper Assembly diagram in the Mechanical Components section for installation.

1. Remove the left and right side guides from the outside slot positions of the mounting blocks.

2. Install each of the small product kit side guides into the inside slots of the left and right mounting blocks.

3. Install the pre-gate bar on the center of the gate plate.

4. Position one of the two gates over the center of the middle belt.

6. Install the extended narrow wedge assembly.

STEP3: LateralFeedBeltAdjustment

Smaller size product may use only the middle belt where as larger product will likely use the two outside feed belts. The middle feed belt is stationary and has no lateral adjustment. Since this belt is located exactly in the center, it should be used as reference for the bal-ance of the feed belt set-up. If the outside belts are used, they should be positioned towards the outside edge of the product for the benefit of drive and support. They are adjusted using the knobs located on each side of the feeder.

Moving the back wedge too far forward to the gate assembly can create a pinch point between the tip of the triangle wedges and the product. If moving the back wedge in is not effective, then an optional wedge may be required.

STEP4: BackWedgeAdjustment

ProcedureAdjust the back wedge for proper positioning following these steps:

1. Grasp a handful of product, approximately 2 to 2.5 in. (5 to 6 cm) thick, and preshingle the edges with your thumb.

2. Place the pre-shingled product in the hopper so that the edges rest against the curvature of the gate assembly.

3. Loosen the wedge adjustment lock knob.

4. Move the wedge back and forth until the bottom sheet is not touching the table top. A good starting point is to measure about .625 in. (16 mm) from the bottom sheet to front edge of table top. Then as you test, you can “fine tune” from this point.

5. Make sure the wedge assembly is parallel with the edge of the product stack. Adjust as required and tighten the lock knob.

6. To feed longer products you may need to use a secondary wedge assembly for assistance, called a “low profile” wedge. It is positioned between the triangle wedge and the feed belts to give extra support to the product as it resides in the hopper. It should be adjusted so that the proper amount of belt surface contacts the bottom piece of the product. The wedges should be evenly spaced to provide enough support to lift the product off the table top and feed belts, without any bowing or twist-ing.

Keep in mind that the back wedge works with the gate assembly to provide the proper lift, curvature of the product, and proper belt/product contact to separate and feed one sheet at a time.

There are a number of feeding problems which can be solved by simply adjusting the back wedge to different positions. Some of these problems include double feeds, skewing, twisting, poor singulation, ink or varnish buildup on the belts, and jamming at the gate assembly area.

STEP5:PhotoSensorAdjustment

Standard photo sensor shipped from the factory is a diffuse reflective detector. No adjustment for gain is required or necessary.

Only adjust the photo sensor when the feeder power is Off. Do not attempt to adjust the photo sensor while the feeder power is On or while the feeder is running. Doing so will expose you to pinch points which can cause injury to hands or fingers.

Potential damage to feeder parts is avoided if adjustments are made when the feeder power is Off.

ReviewThe Flight-Detect photo sensor is mounted on the line to detect a tar-get (for example, a conveyor lug) so as to eject a product. The Sheet-Detect photo sensor is mounted on an adjustable bracket. The sensor detects the leading edge of a product about to be ejected so as to turn the feeder Off.

In preparing for operation, your initial concern should be to properly position the Sheet-Detect photo sensor.

ObjectiveFor the Sheet-Detect photo sensor to be effective, it must be adjusted within a specified range within the discharge area of the feeder.

ProcedureProper counts and stopping position of the product is achieved by the use and position of the sensor and bracket as shown in the photos below.

On the feeder, such objects as shafts, guides, belts, and supports may cause false “reads” if the photo sensor is not adjusted properly for the material. The resulting problem can be intermittent or continuous feeding. See Section 4, Operational Troubleshooting, for a solution.

Avoid light colored backgrounds in the discharge area.

For any questions you may have about adjusting the Flight-Detect photo sensor, consult with a qualified technician.

STEP5: VerifyingProperInstallation

Now that you have made all the necessary adjustments for operation, it is recommended that you verify product singulation and separation at the feeder for your particular application. Before you power-up and run your machine with a full hopper, manually feed several pieces of product through the separator assembly area.

ManualTesttoVerifyPrepare your test by loading the hopper with approximately 2 to 2.5 in. (5 to 6 cm) of product. Make sure you preshingle the stack so that product rests against the curvature of the separator assembly.

1. With the power off, manually feed several pieces of product slowly through the separator assembly area.

2. Observe how individual products enter and exit the separa-tor assembly area. Remember, a properly set gap will allow each new piece to enter at about the center line of the cylinder while the bottom piece is exiting the separator assembly area.

3. If feeding doubles, then move the wedge in towards the sepa-rator assembly. Test again.

4. If pieces are overlapping excessively or, if the machine is feeding doubles, then reduce the gap slightly by moving the separator(s) adjustment knob about 1/8 turn counter-clock-wise. Test again.

5. As product moves through the hold-down area, check for any skewing or jamming. Also check for damage to the product.

6. If this or other feeding problems still persist (slipping, skew-ing, jamming), then review all the adjustment procedures in “Preparing for Operation”.

If the separator assembly is too tight, the feeder will have difficulty pulling the product through the separator assembly area. This will cause “missed” feeds.

Moving the back wedge too far forward to the separator assembly can create a pinch point between the tip of the triangle wedges and the product. If moving the back wedge in is not effective, then an optional wedge may be required.

For certain types of product, you may have to position the product “off-center” to prevent any skewing affect.


3 HowtoOperate

SequenceofOperation

Successful power-up and operation is assured if you apply the follow-ing sequence of steps:

1: Loading product in the hopper

2: Determining stack height

3: Powering On feeder

4: Setting/adjusting speed

5: Final check

STEP1:LoadingProduct intheHopper

Preshingling prevents multiple pieces from jamming under the separator assembly at startup.

1. Start by preshingling by hand a small stack of product so that it conforms to the curvature of the separator assembly. Push in gently to make sure lead edges touch the separator assembly and front edges of the pre-separator bars.

2. At the back wedge, notice how it helps lift the trailing edges of the product off the table top and feed belts. Also notice how the lifting helps to push the preshingled edges against the curvature of the separator assembly.

This section provides a sequence of operation for the feeder. It also provides information for clearing a jam and for shutdown.

STEP2:DeterminingStackHeight

1. Gradually add more product to the hopper after the initial stack is formed around the separator assembly. As stack height will have a preferred minimum and a maximum, you will have to experiment to determine effective range of height.

2. Make sure the product is loaded in the hopper as straight as possible. Before adding to hopper, “jog” each handful of product on a flat surface to make sure lead edges are as even as possible. As you add each handful, gently push in each stack so that lead edges rest firmly against front of side guides. "Fanning" the stack prior to loading it into the hopper may reduce double feeds.

Stack height affects the downward pressure on the feed belts. Greater downward pressure can increase the chances for double feeds.


STEP4:Setting/AdjustingSpeed

1. Set the variable speed control to the lowest speed (counter-clockwise). Feeder motor stops if turned completely counter-clockwise.

2. Start by slowly turning the control clockwise to gradually in-crease feeder speed to coincide with the production line speed of your particular application.

Turn the feeder power On by pushing the horizontal line (—) at the Power On/Off rocker switch.

STEP3:PoweringOnFeeder

Make sure:• Leading edge of bottom product stops at proper location.• Proper separation is occurring at separator assembly area. • Product is not skewing.• Effective preshingling is occurring at curvature of separator assem-

bly.• Product is not being damaged during cycling.• Feeder is secured and will not move during operation.

STEP5:FinalCheck


If a jam occurs during operation, follow these steps:1. Turn the feeder power Off by pushing the circle (O) at the

rocker Power On/Off rocker switch.

2. Remove jammed product from feeder. While doing so, try to determine the cause of the jam (see “Troubleshooting”).

3. Verify whether any adjustments are loose. If so, refer to “Pre-paring for Operation”, for proper adjustment procedures.

4. Turn the feeder power back On by pushing the horizontal line (—) at the Power On/Off rocker switch.

Should you not be using the feeder for long periods of time, follow these steps to ensure safe and secure storage:

1. Turn the feeder power Off by pushing the circle (O) at the rocker Power On/Off rocker switch.

2. Disconnect the feeder power cord from the AC power source. If installed, disconnect external run input from feeder control panel.

3. Cover the feeder with a cloth or plastic tarp to prevent dust and debris from accumulating.

When performing initial feeder adjustments prior to operation, always make sure you turn Off the main power switch and disconnect all equipment from the electrical power source. Failure to do so can expose you to a potential startup, and therefore moving parts which can cause serious injury. Lors des réglages initiaux du chargeur avant le fonctionnement, s’assurer de toujours mettre l’interrupteur principal d’alimentation sur la position arrêt et de débrancher tout l’équipement de la source d’alimentation électrique. Le non respect de cette consigne peut exposer l’utilisateur à un démarrage potentiel, donc aux pièces mobiles qui peuvent provoquer des blessures graves. Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the feeder and machine of application are running. Failure to do so can expose you to moving parts which can cause serious injury. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the feeder. Ne pas essayer de procéder à des réglages quand le chargeur et la machine de l’application sont en fonctionnement. Le non respect de cette consigne peut exposer l’utilisateur aux pièces mobiles qui peuvent provoquer des blessures graves. Ne pas porter de vêtements lâches en manœuvrant le chargeur. Avoid making adjustments with loose or unsecured parts. This can potentially damage parts. Éviter de procéder à des réglages sur des pièces desserrées ou mal fixées. Ceci peut endommager les pièces.

PreventiveCare CleaningFeedandDischargeBeltsTo clean feed belts:


2. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a soft cloth.

3. Use your hand to move the feed belt, starting with one feed belt at a time and carefully pressing the moistened area of the cloth to the belt. As you rotate the belt, use moderate pres-sure to wipe across the belt, making sure to wipe in direction of grooves. After several rotations of the belt, repeat for each belt.

4. Restore power.

Use only isopropyl alcohol. Other solvents can cause belts to wear prematurely, and even cause total breakdown of material.

Utiliser uniquement de l’alcool isopropylique. Les autres solvants peuvent entraîner l’usure prématurée des courroies et même provoquer une rupture totale du matériel.

Cleaning schedule for various materials:

• Typical: every month

• Dusty: after every shift

• High ink or varnish: 1 time per shift or as needed to maintain coefficient of friction integrity

• Dusty: after every shift

• High ink or varnish: 1 time per

CleaningSeparatorAssemblyUse only isopropyl alcohol (98% concentration). Do not use any other types of solvents. They can cause premature wear of the belts, or even total breakdown of the o-ring.

To clean separator assemblies:1. Turn Off feeder and remove power cord from outlet.

2. Remove separator assembly from bracket assembly.

3. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a soft cloth.

4. Wipe across O-rings, or angled wedge if applicable. First wipe in one direction, then the other.

5. Reinstall separator assembly and restore power. It may be necessary to re-check alignment of feeder with host machine if feeder was moved from original installation position (for a review, refer back to “Installing the Machine”).

Depending on the application, it may be necessary to move the feeder from original installation so as to access the separator assembly.


CleaningPhotoSensorTo clean the photo sensor lens:


2. Using a soft, dry cloth, wipe across the face of the photo sen-sor lens.

3. Recheck the adjustments to make sure it is still in alignment to the target (for a review refer back to Section 2, Preparing for Operation).

4. Restore power.

PreventiveCare(continued)

Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents when cleaning the photo sensor lens. This will result in surface damage and eventual faulty performance.


CarriageFeedBeltReplacement

RemovalThe procedure for feed belt replacement requires the removal of the side guides, carriage and external discharge.

Carriage:

2. Remove the 4 screws securing the carriage blocks.

Side Guides:

1. Each guide is attached by a pin and slot mechanism allowing the guide to be raised vertically. Lift the guide up and remove it from the pin. Repeat for both side guides.

3. Place the feeder on its side and remove the screws from the external carriage as shown.

Remove screws.

Remove the side guides.

Remove carriage mounting screws.


CarriageFeedBeltReplacement(continued)

4. Turn the feeder over on the opposite side and remove the screws from the external carriage as shown.

5. Return the feeder to its normal position. Lift the carriage and disengage the timing belt from the timing pulley. Pull the car-riage forward away from the feeder.

Remove screws.

Disengage timing belt.



Feed Belts:

6. Position the carriage on end. Slip the belts over and off of the carriage block.

Remove the belts.

7. Remove the carriage by pulling it forward away from the feeder.

6. From the back of the feeder, lift the back panel and disengage the timing belts on each side of the carriage - one from the motor pulley and the other from the timing pulley.

Disengage timing belt.

Remove carriage.


Feed Belts:

1. Slip the new belts over and onto the carriage block. Position the belts equally on the carriage shafts.

InstallationInstall new feed belts by repeating the previous steps in reverse order.


Install the belts.

Align the belt adjustment blocks with the belts.

Carriage:

2. Install the carriage by pulling it through the discharge area of the feeder.

3. While holding the carriage in place, align the belt adjustment blocks with each corresponding belt. Slide the carriage up and over the spacers of the adjustment blocks.


This Section provides information about setting up various optional wedges.

Now that you are familiar with the basic principles of using a wedge, it is simply a matter of combining these principles with the informa-tion provided in this Section. This will allow you to get optimum performance when setting up the wedge included with your particular feeder.

The following wedges are covered:• Load compensating

• Articulating roller

• Extended narrow

• Combination triangle and low-profile

• Separate triangle and low-profile

• Separate articulating roller and low-profile

LoadCompensating When to use: Effective for moderately thick material. Due to charac-teristics of material, no mid-range support is required.

Setup guidelines: Adjust so the top angle of wedge preshingles the stack against the curvature of gate assembly. Edges of material should not extend beyond the tip of wedge. Ideal separation should be: as the stack moves down the wedge, 3 or 4 sheets of material separate out and come to rest on lower angle of wedge. Then, 3 or 4 sheets of material fall to table top, which are then replaced with another 3 or 4 sheets from stack above.

6 AdditionalWedges


ArticulatingRoller When to use: Effective for very thick and/or ridged material. Due to characteristics of material, no mid-range support is required.

Setup guidelines: Adjust so the roller edges preshingle the stack against the curvature of gate assembly. Again, make sure edges of material does not extend back more than the mid-point of roller.

With some material that tends to bind together (for example, perforat-ed material), it may be beneficial to separate 4 to 5 sheets of material at the bottom to provide some air space.

ArticulatingRollerWedgeSetup

ExtendedNarrow

Side

When to use: Effective for moving in close to the gate assembly for supporting very small material. Due to characteristics of material, no mid-range support is required.

Setup guidelines: Adjust so the wedge preshingles the bottom of stack against the curvature of gate assembly. Make sure edges of material do not extend back more than the mid-point of wedge.

SeparateTriangleandLow-Profile

SeparateTriangleandLow-ProfileWedgeSetup

When to use: If moving separate triangle wedge assembly back from the gate assembly allows bottom of stack to still touch table top, you need mid-range support.

Setup guidelines: Adjust the triangle wedge the same way you would the combined triangle/low-profile wedge assembly (see above). Set the low-profile wedge relative to the triangle wedge so it lifts bot-tom of the stack off the table top to eliminate friction and create body. Make sure edges of material do not touch or overhang tips of triangle wedges, as this creates pressure points.

Side

Top

CombinationTriangleandLow-Profile

When to use: For thin material with minimal body, thus requiring minimal mid-range support.

Setup guidelines: Adjust so that bottom of stack preshingles against the curvature of gate assembly. Make sure edges of material do not touch or overhang tips of triangle wedges as this creates pressure points. Roller(s) should lift bottom of stack off table top to eliminate friction and create body.

CombinationTriangle/Low-ProfileWedgeSetup


Side

Top

When to use: For thicker material with more body, thus requiring medium mid-range support. Longer material may also benefit.

Setup guidelines: Initially adjust articulating wedge so that roller edges preshingle the bottom of the stack against the curvature of gate assembly. Make sure edges of material do not extend back more than mid-point of rollers. Set the low-profile wedge so that roller(s) lift bot-tom of stack off the table top to eliminate friction and create body.
