Aligning the Inspection Trigger (Bottles)

Aligning the inspection trigger beam (bottles).
To correctly align the beam, you must align the inspection trigger height
so the trigger beam contacts the container at the widest part of the cap.

If your FT-50 is not equipped with an automatic safety shutter, you
must close the manual shutter before you proceed. For more infor-
mation see “The Safety Shutter” on page 2-3.
2.
Loosen the centerline bracket height lock, and using the centerline
sensor bracket height crank, raise the bracket all the way.
3.
Center a properly filled and capped production container in the
inspection tunnel so that when the sensor mounting bracket is
lowered, it is aligned with the trigger beam.
