L-Conveyor

• Loosen the large lock nuts on top of the four adjustable conveyor castors.
• Adjust the two conveyor feet closest to the Trendsetter VLF until the height is correct.
• Adjust the other two castors to level the conveyor.
• Retighten all the large lock nuts.

• Put the conveyor table in the 'up' position.
• Adjust the ball knob cups (table height adjustment screws) on the cylinders until the height is correct.
• Align the safety plate at the processor end of the conveyor table with the top surface of the conveyor table (in the 'up' position).

Multiple Cassette Unit (MCU)

• Roll the MCU until the plenum feature is aligned to the system centerline laser.

To adjust the levelness of the MCU:

• Rotate the adjustable MCU feet until the desired angle is achieved.

• Raise the lifting jacks evenly until the 4 MCU feet are 2mm above the floor.
• Push, pull or bump the MCU until the desired position is achieved.
• Lower the lifting jacks.

• Raise the MCU by rotating the 4 adjustable feet.
• Adjust the feet evenly until both green lights on #3 and #4 sensors are lit.
• Recheck that #1 and #2 sensor readouts are still green. Adjust as required.

• Rotate the adjustment screw in the corner of the bottom rail until the desired height is achieved.

Single Cassette Unit (SCU)

• Rotate the adjustable garage feet until the desired angle is achieved.

• Slide the garage until the laser is within the plenum centerline feature.

• Slide the garage until both lights are green.
• Recheck the centerline alignment.
• Securely tighten the garage plate to the floor plate.

• Raise the garage by rotating the adjustable garage feet until both #3 and #4 sensor readouts are green.

• Loosen the large lock nuts on top of the adjustable cassette castors (the two closest to the garage)
• Rotate the adjustable cassette castors until both #5 and #6 sensor readouts are green.
• Retighten both large lock nuts.

• Loosen the large lock nuts on top of the adjustable cassette castors (the two furthest from the garage)
• Rotate the adjustable cassette castors until the cart is level.
• Retighten both large lock nuts.

Slipsheet Removal (SSR)

To adjust SSR system alignment:

• tbd

Straight Conveyor

• Loosen the large lock nuts on top of the two adjustable conveyor castors closest to the Trendsetter VLF.
• Rotate the adjustable conveyor castors.
• Retighten both large lock nuts.

• Rotate both adjustable turnbuckles until the desired alignment is achieved.

Base Trendsetter VLF

To adjust the table fixture level:

• lower the table
• place the calibrated digital level on the side bar of the fixture, then across the front and rear bars simultaneously
• rotate the leveling screws to adjust the level in both axes to 0° ±0.1°.

• Using the adjustable foot wrench, rotate the appropriate adjustable foot in the direction of least deflection
• Recheck the engine level

• Lift the Trendsetter VLF evenly, using the jacks, until the adjustable feet are all 3 mm off the floor.
• Push, pull or bump the Trendsetter VLF and/or the jacks until the position is correct.
• Lower the jacks evenly until they are loose.
• Recheck the floor plate and Trendsetter VLF positions. Repeat the adjustment if needed.

• Adjust the four bumpers underneath the table.
• If levelness still can't be achieved, use the adjustable foot wrench to rotate the front center foot and tilt the front of the Trendsetter VLF up or down  (0.4° maximum, front to rear).

WARNING! Do not tilt the Trendsetter VLF from side to side.

• Use the adjustable foot wrench to rotate all the adjustable feet evenly in the appropriate direction (1 full rotation = 7mm height).

• loosen the large lock nuts.
• rotate the damper until there is 4mm of shaft visible when the table is pressing on it.
• tighten the lock nuts.

• loosen the set screw on the side of the cap.
• rotate the cap slightly.
• test the damper with your hand.
• adjust the cap until the required dampening is achieved.
• test by raising and lowering the table and adjust as required.
• tighten the set screw.

• Open the p-door.
• Open the hood.
• Close the p-door.
• Loosen the 2 screws attaching the cylinder mounts.
• Slide the mounts rearwards to increase the angle, or slide them forward to decrease the angle.
• Tighten the screws.
• Open the p-door.
• Close the hood.
• Close the p-door.
• Recheck the clearance and adjust as required.

• Open the hood.
• Loosen the plate stop retaining nuts slightly.
• Close the hood.
• Close the p-door.
• Move the plate stops to the required position.
• Carefully open the p-door.
• Carefully open the hood.
• Tighten the nuts.
• Close the hood.
• Close the p-door.
