WIDTH ADJUSTS DOESN’T FUNCTION PROPERLY
WIDTH ADJUST PHOTO EYES ON BACK SECTION ARM ON IN FEED SIDE ARE
POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE DOOR:
1. The width adjust photo eyes on the back section arm on the in feed end of the
machine should be positioned so that there is a 1 ¼” gap from the center-line of the
photo eye to the edge of the door. This allows the back section to move in tighter
against the door. Note: to shrink the distance between the “H” block and the back
section, move the photo eye toward the back of the machine. To increase the
distance between the “H” block and the back section, move the photo eye closer to
the front of the machine.
UNSATISFACTORY HINGE POCKETS
FUZZY HINGE POCKETS:
Fibrous debris with a peach fuzz appearance around the perimeter of the hinge and face
plate pocket usually is a good indication that your router bit is dull, and needs to be
replaced.
It might also indicate that the speed in which the router is moving within the pocket is
to fast.
RING AROUND THE POCKET:
This is an indication that the arbor is running out, or the arbor is not tight in the router
collet.
Another tip is to check the router bit and see if the carbide tip has a chipped tip.
FEED SYSTEM SURGING:
If the feed system surges at high and low speed, it usually means that the IR comp on
your DC drive board needs to be adjusted. Call a KVAL technician for more
information.
FEED SYSTEM MOVING DOORS TO FAST:
If the feed system is moving doors into the door stop to fast check the DC drive board.
It may be that your maximum speed is set too fast and is not allowing the machine to
react to the door before changing to slow speed. To adjust, slow your speed down.
If slowing the maximum speed down does not remedy the situation, you may need to
lower your minimum speed. Minimum speed should be set to a smooth crawl.
