7.6 Setting the control cage
The adjustment is effected by loosening the cage clamps and turning
the control cage in the suitable direction. The cast groove on the
control cage shows the central position of the control cage opening.
The following adjustment standard value is valid: the control cage
opening is approximately opposite to the throwing angle. The
abrasive grain size plays an important role here. Different types of
abrasive have different throwing characteristics due to their different
weights and frictional resistance. This means that you must never use
different types of abrasive at the same time.
Prior to any repair works on the machine and its drives,
secure the machine against unintentional switching-on. Put
the machine to its safety off position.
After fitting new spare parts always create a blast pattern in order
to check the blasting direction. This is the only way to grant
economical work and to avoid unnecessary wear and repair costs.
The adjustment can be carried out as follows:
Determine the notch which indicates the centre of the window
edges.
If the blast wheel is turning counter-clockwise, set the notch of
the control cage to imaginary 9.30 of a dial (fig. 7.2).
