Adjusting Nozzle Vacuum Sensors
The TM-401's Nozzle Vacuum Sensor is setup before the machine is shipped. It may occasion-
ally require adjustment depending on vacuum sensitivity and the type of part that is being pro-
cessed.
If the TM-401 places "empty" pockets (i.e. places as though it held a part when it did not) or
returns a picking part error when it picked a part, the vacuum sensor's threshold point probably
needs to be adjusted.
