Fig. 7: Chain tension adjustment (Bottom view)
The loader is supplied with the adjusted chain tension. If necessary, check the
tension of the chain as follows:
• Press and hold several crucible trays (1) of the rear row on the platform so
that they cannot move.
• Move a few trays (2) of the front row to the left and to the right.
They should move for about 1 mm. If not, loose the screw underneath the
toothed wheel (3) and adjust by moving it back and for.
• Fix the screw (3) and check again.
NOTICE
A too strong tension can lead to a blockage when the crucibles are moved by the
motor. If the chain plays too much, bent elements of the chain can block at the
indicated point (4). Therefore keep about 1 mm play as described above.
• Pull the front part (5) for about one or two millimetres.
The turning point is (6). When you release it, it should return back pressing
the crucible tray, which is at pick up position, to the wheel (7) behind the
tray. This is to make sure that each crucible when at pick up position is
always at the same place.
