DELIVERY PORT ASSEMBLY
The Delivery Port Assembly is located on the Service Door. Its purpose is to position the product in
the Assembly for the consumer to retrieve and to cancel vend. The Port Open and Closed Hall Effect
Sensors located on the top of the Delivery Port have been implemented to eliminate moving parts
that exist on mechanical switches to improve performance. The Brushed Port Motor, Hall Effect
Open/Close Sensors, and Product Detection Sensor are driven by the independent Port Board.
SHELF / TRAY ASSEMBLY
Typically, there are 5 Shelf assemblies in every Vender;
however, this may vary depending upon the configuration
specified at the time of ordering. Each Can/Bottle Shelf
consists of 9 or 7 columns. Each Shelf is capable of holding a
variety of packages. The Shelf Assembly consists of the Tray,
where all of the following parts are mounted: Double Gate
Assembly and the Slide/Pusher Assembly. These items are
discussed in detail below.
DOUBLE GATE ASSEMBLY (Can/Bottle Trays)
The Double Gate Assembly is mounted on the front portion of the Tray Assembly
and contains the Vending Mechanism. Incorporated in the Gate Assembly are the
Front and Rear Knuckle Assemblies as well as the Product Kicker. In standby
operation, the Front Knuckle is in the blocking position, which holds the front
displayed product in position to be vended. The Rear Knuckle Assembly is in a flat
position, which allows product to enter the Gate area, and the Product Kicker is
flush to the Rear Knuckle Assembly. A stainless steel pin is inserted through the
rear most portion of the Front Knuckle Assembly and connects the Gear Box
Assembly below the Tray. When a selection is made, the Plunger pushes the Target toward the back of the Tray.
At the same time the Front Knuckle is opened into a flat position, the Rear Knuckle is closed to a blocking
position, holding the remaining product out of the Gate area, and the Product Kicker is extended to firmly push
the front displayed product off of the Tray. The Plunger is energized for approximately 1-½ seconds to allow
ample time for the displayed product to be ejected from the Shelf. The Plunger is then released and the Front
Knuckle returns to the blocking position, the Rear Knuckle and Product Kicker return to their standby position
and the next product slides into the vend display position.
