After setting the 1st operation rollers rotate the head for a further 1 rotation. This is the
position where the bearings mounted on the Cam Follower Levers (2nd operation) are
at the topmost position.
At this point adjust the 2nd operation rollers by moving them inwards till the gap
between the lip of the seaming chuck and roller groove is 1mm.
Use a feeler gauge for making the adjustments.
Note: The actual required roller pressure depends on the flange widths, sheet material
thickness, etc. and hence needs to be set differently for each type of can for which the
operator must use their best judgment. Refer to the attached Seam trouble shooting
guide for assistance.
2. Roller Height Setting:
To adjust the roller height, the entire roller assembly must be raised or lowered. To do
so, loosen the bolt located on top of the roller pin (above the seaming lever). Rotate the
roller with a spanner to the desired height and then tighten the bolt. The correct height
is when the lip of the roller is just free of the lip of the chuck (Typically between 0.08
and 0.1mm). Tighten the bolt above the roller once set.
This setting can be done at the same time when adjusting the roller pressure.
Can Height Setting
The machine can accommodate various Can heights within permissible limits.
To change the height the entire Seaming head assembly has to be moved upwards or
lowered as required. This is done by loosening the bolts on the adjustment slides (SAV-
167) and turning the Height Adjustment Wheel (SAV-79) to raise / lower the head
assembly. Refer Figure 7.
When changing from a larger to smaller height Can, place the Can on the base plate
and lower the head till the chuck sits tightly on the Can.
When changing from a smaller to larger height Can, first raise the head and then lower
it onto the larger height Can.
The correct height setting can be noted from the position of the Pin in the main lifting
shaft (refer Figure 7). With a Can in place, lift the shaft using the Touchscreen. The
right height setting is when the Pin in the shaft is at the centre position.
Once the desired height level has been achieved, tighten all the bolts on the slide ways.
Do not operate the machine with the bolts in a loose position as this can cause the
slides to slip and may result in damage to the machine.
No adjustments to the Can movement arms are required for Can height changes. The
Seaming Chuck and Rollers also need not be adjusted.
