1. Verify electrical cables and pneumatic lines near the conveyor are not in danger of being
pinched or snagged during conveyor operation.
2. In the FmXP Tools Window, click on the
Jog icon .
3. In the Jog Commands dialog box, click on
Conveyor 1 (Figure 4-11).
4. Open the dispensing system hood.
! The green beacon light should go OFF and the yellow beacon light should come ON.
5. In the Jog Commands dialog box, click on both the slow
and the fast Y-axis jog
buttons to try to move the conveyor rail backward and forward.
! There should be no movement of the conveyor rail.
6. Close the dispensing system hood.
7. In the Jog Commands dialog box, click on both the slow
and the fast X-axis jog
buttons to move the conveyor belt in both directions.
! The conveyor belt should move smoothly in both directions with no slipping on
its pulleys.
8. If your system is equipped with dual conveyors, repeat Steps
5-7 for Conveyor 2. Conveyor 2
Jog Commands are described in 6.7.3 Dual Conveyor Systems.
9. Close the Jog Commands dialog box to return to the Tools Window.
10. Click on

To rough-adjust Conveyor Rail width:
1. When the rails are determined to be level with dispensing system mechanics, obtain a sample
workpiece identical to the one that will be used during production.
2. Narrow or widen the spacing between the conveyor rails to fit the sample workpiece
as follows:
a. In the Jog Commands dialog box, click on
Conveyor 1.
b. Use the Y-axis fast jog buttons
to adjust the rail width to the approximate width of the
sample workpiece.
c. When the rails are at the approximate distance apart, open the hood and place the
workpiece on the conveyor belts.
d. Close the hood and use the Y-axis slow jog button
to finish adjusting the rail width.
! Rail width should allow the workpiece to rest on the belts as close to the rails as
possible, allowing space for smooth, non-binding movement along the conveyor and
for heat expansion of the workpiece.
3. If your system is equipped with dual conveyors, repeat Step
2 for Conveyor 2. Conveyor 2
Jog Commands are described in 6.7.3 Dual Conveyor Systems.
4. Close the Jog Commands dialog box to return to the Tools Window.
