CHAPTER 5: TIMING AND ADJUSTMENTS
The design of the Servo Tyer is based on precise computer control of servo motors. The
electronic nature of the Servo Tyer is unique in that it does not require any mechanical
timing adjustments. The CPU contained in the proprietary electronics monitors each of
the four motors hundreds of times every second to verify their relative position.
Corrections to motor position are made during the tie cycle to ensure the package is
properly tied.
Bag Switch Adjustment
The arm on the bag switch is adjustable in length and angle. It should be extended so
that the end of the arm is about 1/4 inch away from the tip of the needle when the needle
and arm are in their closest possible positions. In the normal position, the end of the arm
should be 1-1/4 inches above the bag path. This assures that any package will activate
the bag switch.
