SLIDE/PUSHER ASSEMBLY (Can/Bottle Trays)
The Slide/Pusher Assembly is located on the bottom of each
product column. Its purpose is to provide a slick, friction
resistant surface for the product to rest on. A tall Product
Pusher is mounted on the top of the Slide and incorporates
a coil spring in the body that attaches to the bottom of the
Slide through a slit. This spring adds needed tension to
ensure that all products in the column remain tight against each other and are allowed to progress into the Gate
area. Periodic cleaning and lubrication of the slides is recommended. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE
MATERIALS TO CLEAN ANY PORTION OF THE TRAY.
DELIVERY (PICKER) CUP ASSEMBLY
The Delivery (Picker) Cup assembly is located on the XY Vend Mechanism. Its purpose is to pick
the product from the column and deliver the product to the Delivery Port Assembly. The Delivery
(Picker) Cup Assembly is mounted on the Y Axis Assembly of the XY Assembly and bolts in position.
The New Y Home Magnetic Switch located on the bottom of the Delivery Cup Assembly has been
implemented to eliminate moving parts that existed on the previous mechanical switch to improve
performance by eliminating Home Switch Errors caused by syrup and/or dirt build up in/on the
mechanical Switch and Switch Arm. The Delivery Cup Brushless Motor, Y Home, Picker/Plunger
Home & Out Switches, and product detection Sensor are driven by the independent Cup Motor
Board.
X AXIS
The X Axis runs horizontally or left to right. The X Axis Assembly is Cabinet mounted to
prevent any Cabinet torque and has one belt to synchronize the top and bottom when
the XY Assembly moves left or right. A top channel is used to contain and hide the X/Y
E-Chain and wiring. The X Brushless Motor has an encoder for positioning and is driven
by an independent Cabinet X Motor Control Board.
Y AXIS
The Y Axis runs vertically or up and down and has the Delivery (Picker) Cup Assembly
attached. A Y Belt Cover is used to contain and hide the Y E-Chain and wiring. The Y
Brushless Motor has an encoder for positioning and is driven by independent Y Motor
Board.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT COMPONENTS
The Belt Tensioning Adjustment components have been revised to ease adjusting belts
when needed. The X Belt Idler Tensioning Assembly in the upper left hand corner of Cabinet
now includes a thumb screw. Adjustments should only be needed if a belt is replaced.
The Bottom X Drive Tensioner Assembly in the lower right hand corner of cabinet has a
plastic spring loaded tensioning wheel to keep the belt against the pulley when moving and
does not require any adjustments.
