Adjusting the ramp in/out actuator regulators

  WARNING: Failure to follow Kodak’s safety policies and procedures for field engineers may create a dangerous situation that could result in serious injury as well as damage to the output device.
For more information, see the Safety page.

Procedure

  There are four regulators that control the timing of the ramp in/out actuators. Two of them are on the away side ramp in/out cylinder, and two of them are on the home side manifold.
 

 

 

Setting the ramp in/out actuator timing is an iterative process, because when you adjust one regulator, it changes the air flow through all the others, requiring them to be adjusted, too. The goal is not only to achieve the correct ramp in/ramp out timing, but also to have both ramp in/out cylinders move in and out evenly.

Important:  The ramp out regulator (the bottom one on the side of the home side manifold) should not be adjusted in the field. Doing so will require a lot of time consuming adjustments to the other three regulators in order to get the ramp in/out actuators functioning properly.


Test

  After making adjustments to regulators controlling the speed of the ramp in/out actuators, enter the engine time command and compare the times reported with the table in the Measuring engine, picker, and table actuator times and adjusting actuators document.

If necessary, readjust the regulators and try again.
