Setting Up The Feed Wheel Segments
1.Remove the gear side feed table plate.
2.Engage the interrupt clutch.
3.Bar the machine forward until the wheels make their
first momentary stop (point 2).
4.Release the coupling on one feed wheel shaft, swing
its wheel segments up to about mid-stroke, and reclamp
the coupling.
5.Mark the surface of the wheel segment and the
adjacent skate wheel cage to record this location.
6.Bar the machine BACKWARD until the mark on the feed
wheel has moved .06" relative to the mark on the cage.
(.09" for new wheel segments. This is point 1.)
7.Release the couplings on all feed wheel shafts and
rotate all feed wheels down into the box.
8.Place a sheet of your typical board over the
box.
9.Turn on vacuum blower.
10. Rotate the feed wheel segments up until they just
touch the bottom of the sheet and reclamp the couplings
with the wheels in this position.
11.Check the adjustment; bar the machine over a few
revolutions. During dwell, the wheel segments should be
.12" or .25" below the skate wheels. (Some machines have
longer pre-indexes than others.) At the end of the
pre-index, the feed wheels should stop briefly .00" to
.03" above the skate wheels.
