Step 5
Now turn the screws in the clockwise direction to raise the upper
feedroll until a .025mm (.010”) gap is achieved between the two
rolls.
Step 6
Tighten down the jam nuts while holding the adjustment screws
stationary.
12 Material Guide Gap
Function
The Material Guides prevent material from feeding around the
roll and tangling. They are located behind the upper and lower
feedrolls. A small gap must be maintained between the guides
and the rolls. The gap needs to be at most, ½ the thickness of
the thinnest material being fed into the machine. The gap will
widen overtime as the knurling on the feedrolls wear down and
will require the material guide gap to be adjusted.
Step 1 Lockout/tag out power.
Step 2 Unbolt the guard and remove from machine.
Step 3
Lift chain off sprockets by first depressing the chain tensioning
arm (
Fig. 3
).
Step 4
Remov
e the bolts holding the lid in place and slide forward to
remove. Rotate the upper feedworks assembly forward.
Step 5
The upper and lower material guides are each fastened with two
screws. Loosen the screws holding the guide in place, and
adjust the gaps to half the thickness of the thinnest material
being processed. Use a feeler gauge to verify the gap.
Step 6
Once gap is achieved, tighten the screw. Double check the gaps
and rotate the feedrolls to make sure the material guides do not
contact the feedrolls.
13 Tightening Schedule
Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine, injury to
the operator and/or voiding of the machine’s warranty.
Function
Due to the vibratory impact associated with the Sweed
Machinery Inc machines, it is imperative to follow a strict bolt
tightening schedule. Failure to do so may result in damage to the
machine, injury to the operator and/or voiding of the machine’s
warranty.
Shipping
Inspect the machine after shipping before operating; fasteners
may have loosened during shipping.
Break-In Period
Inspect and tighten loose fasteners after a break-in period of 8
hours.
60 Hours Operation
Inspect and tighten loose fasteners every 60 hours of machine
operation after break-in period.
