Load Parts In Tooling
Once the parts are loaded into the tooling fixtures,
and the light curtains are not obstructed, the mes-
sage banner on the touch screen display should read
Machine Ready for Cycle
Self–Aligning Parts
Upper and lower parts which are self–aligning (e.g.
have pins or grooves to keep them aligned) can be
loaded together into the bottom tooling fixture.
Vacuum Part Retention
Parts which are not self–aligning will have to be
placed into their respective tooling. The lower part
is held in place by gravity. The upper part is placed
in the fixture. Use the manual VACUUM ON/OFF
button to turn the vacuum on and off as needed.
