Return Stroke Stop Adjustment
This adjustment procedure allows the return stroke to stop in time so that the
ratchet wheel is indexed properly. If the return stroke is too long, the ratchet
dog will be forcibly driven into the housing post. This could cause the
ratchet dog to jam between the housing post and ratchet wheel, or it could
cause component breakage.
Prerequisites:
Feeder Preliminary Forward Stroke Adjustment
This adjustment should be performed off the machine on a bench with an
outside air supply of 80 psi. To adjust the return stroke stop, perform the
following procedure.
1. Power down the machine and perform Lockout/Tagout according to
local procedures.
WARNING
The machine must be powered down and the local Lockout/Tagout
procedure performed to ensure personal safety during this procedure.
2. Remove the feeder from the machine and place on a suitable work
surface with air supply of 80 psi.
