Schleuniger 207 - Adjusting the Grippers with the Calibration Set

Adjusting the grippers
with the calibration set
CAUTION: The following procedure is only nec-
essary if the gripper jaws (8) have been changed
or dis-assembled for service. You must have the
calibration set listed on page 4 under special
accessories 90, 96, 97, 98 in order to perform this
procedure .
Switch main switch (1) to Off position .
Remove power cord .
Remove main cover (34) by unscrewing the 6
screws.
Remove safety shield ( 46) by removing the safety
shield mounting screws (52) .
Lift electronics panel upwards and back.
Remove spring (54) and push back the sensor (9)
(Fig . 12).
Push cover sleeve back ( 16). Loosen setscrew on
head disc ( 15) and pull head disc ( 15) off forwards.
Push the slide carriages all the way back.
Push the calibration fixture (96) onto the stripping
head (14) and tighten it as shown in Fig. 11.
Slide the brass sleeve (98) over the center pin of
the calibration fixture (96).
Loosen the gripper jaw setscrews (47) and the
gripper holder setscrews (48).
Pull back the gripper solenoid shaft and insert the
8 mm (.315 in .) wide gauge (90) between the two
points shown in Fig . 13 .
Carefully pull the stripping head (14) all the way
forward by hand.

~~~
Lightly push both gripper jaws (8) onto the brass
sleeve (98) of the calibration fixture (96) .
IMPORTANT!
Between the front ofthe cable centralizers ( 1 0)
and the front of the gripper jaws (8) there must
be a distance of 9.5 mm (.375 in.) (stripping
head (14) all the way forward (Fig . 14). The
leaves of the gripper jaws (8) must match as
shown in Fig. 15.
First tighten the gripper jaw fixing screws (47)
and then the gripper jaw setscrews (48) (Fig .
16) .
Check: To check for proper adjustment, first
remove the width gauge (90). Slowly close the
gripper jaws (8) by pulling the gripper solenoid
shaft from behind and check from the front
whether the upper and lower contact areas of each
gripper jaw (8) touch the calibration sleeve (98) at
the same time (Fig. 16).
Remove calibration fixture (96).
Re-install the spring (54).
Re-assemble the machine and test for proper
operation .

Sensor adjustment
This adjustment is only necessary if the stripping
lengths are incorrect or the sensor assy . has been
dis-assembled for service .
Switch main switch (1) to Off.
Remove power cord .
Remove main cover (34) by unscrewing the 6
screws.
Remove safety shield ( 46) by removing the safety
shield mounting screws (52).
Pull back disc (32) and loosen the setscrews (31)
of the disc (32) in such a way that the disc can be
slid over the pin (49) with a little amount of friction.
Carefully pull the stripping head (14) all the way
forward by hand (Fig. 17).
By turning the leadscrew (57), set the stripping
blades (11) in such a way that the distance be-
tween the cutting edges is about 7 mm (.275 in .)
(Fig.18).
Slide the disc (32) on the pin (49) until the distance
from the front of the sensor (9) to the cutting edges
of the stripping blades (11) is 0.5 mm (.020 in .)
(Fig.18).
Tighten the two setscrews (31) of the disc (32) .
By slightly loosening the screw (30) and pushing
the sensor stop lever (29) forwards or backwards,
the travel of the sensor (9) can be controlled . The
travel should be 0.8 -1.2 mm (.031 in.- .047 in.)
(Fig.18).
To increase sensor travel: push lever (29) to the
right (Fig. 17).
To decrease sensor travel: push lever (29) to the
left (Fig. 17).
