Component

Short pin assembly

Problem

During loading, the small plate (228 x 318 mm) becomes stuck. Because the small plate is thin and flexible, the leading edge of the plate droops during loading. As a result, the plate is not positioned at the level that would enable it to enter the punch. 

Solution

Time needed to implement

1 hour

Parts needed

Note: If your configuration requires only the outer pins, do not order this FCO; order shortcut pin assy-wide plate kit (part number 518-01144A)

Procedure

1. From the Lotem application, open the front door of the machine, and then shut down the machine.
2. Disconnect the main power cable.
3. Remove the wiring screw from each short pin assembly.

4. On the punch bar, remove the hex screw from each short pin assembly (PN 507A3E860), and then remove each short pin assembly.
5. Install each updated short pin assembly (PN 507A4E235) and tighten the hex screw on each assembly to secure it.

6. Connect the wiring to each updated short pin assembly with the screw (as shown in Figure 2).
7. Install each outer short pin assembly (PN 500-02600A) according to the largest plate size used.
   Note: The outer short pin assemblies are marked with an "X".

8. Connect the wiring to each outer short pin assembly with the screw.

9. Connect the main power cable.
10. Start the application and close the front door of the machine.
11. Insert the FCO utility diskette and update the registry with the Lotem 400 MCU file. For more information, see FCO Updater utility.

Test

Using a small plate, perform the loading sequence and verify that the small plate touches the short pins as required.

Logistics
