SECTION 3 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
METHOD OF OPERATION
Once the eject system has been installed, adjust
the air pressure regulator to 70 PSI. Apply power to
the eject system by using the power on switch on
the right side of the box to turn the unit on. (Insure
the timer displays energize with power applied.)
The system is now ready for testing and calibrating.
The eject system is designed to use an external
eject signal from a bad container detector. Upon
receiving an eject signal, the delay timer is
activated. As the bad container approaches the
eject box, the delay timer will time out. Once timed
out the plunger will be activated for a set time and
consequently push the container off the conveyor.
If the plunger activates prior to the container
reaching the plunger increase the delay time by
using the up arrow and repeat the test. Continue
this process until the plunger makes contact with
the center of the container as it passes in front of
the plunger.
If the plunger activates after the container reaches
the plunger decrease the delay time by using the
down arrow and repeat the test. Continue this
process until the plunger makes contact with the
center of the container as it passes in front of the
plunger.
The amount of time the plunger is in the extended
position is also adjustable and can be increased or
decreased by using the up/down arrows. (It is
recommended to adjust this time to approximately
0.08 seconds as a starting point when setting up
the system) This timer should not be operated with
a timer setting longer then the delay timer setting
To ensure the proper ejection on the container you
may need to adjust the speed of the cylinder
plunger by adjusting the speed control valves
located on the front of the eject box.
NOTE: The ejector was designed with a built in
cache of 29 containers, which means a total of 29
bad containers can occur between when a bad
container is sensed and when the first bad
container is ejected. This should be more than
adequate for the spacing between the detection
device and the eject system. (If more than 29
containers are detected before the first bottle is
ejected the timing function of the ejector will be out
of synchronization.)
