Picker not picking slipsheets


Product

  VLF Trendsetter AL

Component

 

Picker


Error

 

The Picker does not attempt to pick a slipsheet during the fetch cycle.


Cause

  Occasionally, after loading a bay with plates and slipsheets, when Allegro is started up it does not set the 'set state bay ssl' correctly. Check this by typing << set state bay ssl>>.

Solution

 

Note: Do not attempt to do this in the open on the table, the reading will be different to when it is done in the bay.

  1. Type <<ale init>>

  2. Type <<cass door open>>

  3. Place the correct plate emulsion side-up in the cassette

  4. Place a slipsheet of the correct color on top of the plate in the bay

  5. Type <<picker move -350>>

  6. Type <<picker ss sensor on>>

  7. Type <<picker ss sensor>> Record reading 1

  8. Remove the slipsheet (without moving the picker)

  9. Type <<picker ss sensor>> Record reading 2

  10. Calculate threshold = ( reading 1 + reading 2) / 2

  11. Type <<set media X sst <threshold> >> where X is the media type loaded into the bay you are using

  12. Repeat for each media type
