Component |
Picker |
| Problem |
- plates are sticking together
- need the ability to load more plates
- thin plates (0.006” to 0.008”) are falling off the
picker - too much air coming from the air knives while
picking
|
| Solution(s) |
- redesign the plate ledge, the plate ledge teeth, and the air
jet deflector bracket
- change the tubing as well
|
| Parts needed |
Kit #05-0185 BOM
for the plate ledge
Kit #05-0192 to replace tubing to the air knives |
| Tools needed |
N/A |
| Procedure |
Plate Ledge (Parts in Kit #05-0185)
No panels need to be removed.
- Move [RAMP IN], [PICKER UP].
- Put one plate in bay, mark the top of plate onto the load
table with pencil.
- Disconnect the reed switch on the home side of the plate
ledge. Disconnect (or cut close to the plate ledge) all
tubing from the plate ledge (2 on away side and 1 on home
side). Remove all M3*10 screws.
- Loosen the 2 door bumpers.
- Take the plate ledge off. Replace with new plate ledge
#50-2154A using the new M3*10 screws. See Plate Ledge Drawing.
Make sure the plate is aligned with the pencil mark.
- Tighten the 2 bumpers. Reconnect the reed switch. Reconnect
one tube on the home side and 2 on the away side.
- Check that plate drop is 2mm.
Tubing to the Air Knives (Parts in Kit #05-0192)
This modification should reduce the airflow from 90psi to
40psi.
- The manifold on the home side provides air to the load air
knives. The red polyurethane tube splits in two to provide
air at each side of the plate ledge. After the manifold and
before it splits, cut the tube (#56-3215 8mm OD (5/16”).
- Assemble as follows
- reducer #55-0537
- 0.05m of #56-1043
- second reducer #55-1131
- 0.05m of #56-1038
- third reducer #55-1131
- 0.05m of #56-1043
- last reducer #55-0537
