4) ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS BEFORE USE Before using the machine, please check if the rail and components installed on the machine is suitable for the screw applied. The rail is φ 1.0 to φ 3.0 depending on the nominal diameter. It is determined by the identification seal on a rail front cover. There are two kinds of passage plates, namely one for φ1.0 to φ1.7 and one for φ2.0 to φ3.0. It is determined by an identification seal affixed on a passage plate. ◆ When there is no rail installed on the machine, please install the rail before use. First, unfasten the rail fixing bolt through the upper bit guide holder. Insert the rail into the furthest point. Fasten the fixing bot. ◆ Quantity of screws thrown in If too many screws are thrown in, orientation and transfer of the screws will be seriously affected. See the diagram on the right for the maximum number of the throw screws in the [scooping chamber].

◆ Check of the sensor’s optical axis If there is no screw at the stopper section, this machine continues operation, and if there are screws, it stops after a certain period of time has passed. This machine has the level of the screw/no screw sensor adjusted by the reference rail on shipment. In reality, however, a level adjustment of the sensor may become necessary when using thin-head screws or due to occurrence of the variation on rail replacement. Then, follow the directions (1) and (2) for the adjustment. (1) • Loose the sensor attaching screw on the side lit up as much as it moves by picking up the sensor holder with fingers, and turn on the power switch. • Place a screw on the fail within the sensor range. • Hold the rail end lightly with fingers as much as it doesn’t vibrate so that screws doesn’t pass through. • When the sensor holder is moved up and down, there is a position the sensor of the receiving light side defects a screw head and stops the vibration. Tight the sensor attaching screw at this position. • Confirm whether it really works or not. See if a screw passes No.7 pin of IC4050 through and the sensor detects if and stops. Adjusting the sensor attachment (2) • Remove the machine body rear cover, and measure the up and down on the side lit up voltage level. Adjust the IC4050 7th-pin voltage level. The ground, when measuring it, is the body’s metal part.
