8’ doors with four hinges. Change over from one door to another door takes only a couple of minutes and requires no tools. The 990F-3 can be equipped with the optional Six-Shooter to install 3-1/2” X 3-1/2” hinges, as well as the optional Eight-Shooter which can install the 4”...
Uncrating Procedure: If machine is fully crated remove all the 1” X 6” boards from the crate and the 2” X 4” frame. Move the machine to its approximate location. Carefully cut and remove all banding and tape from part boxes, electrical panel, control panel, buttons, knobs and switches.
When you have set-up and test run your machine to ensure that it is feeding the material properly KVAL recommends anchoring the machine to the floor with ½ Red head, True Bolt Anchors in each of the foot pads. An alternative way to bolting the machine, you may want to use Epoxy and hardened threaded rods to prevent the bolts from vibrating loose.
Page 26
• Standard Anchoring Instructions: * With machine in place and leveled, drill 3” deep holes in the concrete using a 5/8” dia. masonry bit, using the mounting hole as a guide. * Clean out holes with a blowout-bulb or air compressor to ensure that the anchor heads get a firm bite on the walls of the holes.
They are: Auto Run, Maintenance Feed & Width, Maintenance Back Section, Manual Run, and Machine Data. Figure 1: This is the first screen of the 990F-3 which shows the 5 options, Auto Run, Mainenance Feed & Width, Maintenance Back Section, Manual Run, and Machine Data...
Second Screen: When Auto Run is chosen, the second screen appears and displays all the options available to the operator. The main functions such as (R.H., L.H. Disable Auto Feed, Feed Mode and the emergency Stop and start sequence button) are chosen at the center of the machine with a switch. The other commands such as hinge lengths and number of hinges are chosen at this screen.
Fourth Screen: When the Maintenance 2 or Maintenance Back Section button is pushed the following screen pops up. This gives you the indicators and eyes of the back section again used with trouble shooting for the machine. The open circles will light up if they are activated. Figure 4: This is the maintenance back section screen this screen shows the eyes for the back section and is also a good trouble shooting point.
Sixth Screen: The sixth screen is the Machine Data screen. This screen shows the total number of doors for the machine and the daily total. The reset button will only reset the daily total. When you press the back button it goes back to the main menu screen. Figure 6: This is the machine data screen which shows the total doors ran through the machine and the daily total on the machine the daily total is the only one that can be reset.
Face Plate Reg /Off / Extend Time: Choose ‘Reg’ to allow the 990F-3 to automatically rout the face plate, select the Extend time when the face plate is longer than 2 1/4”. Use the rheostat located on the backside of the electrical box to control how much time is needed to complete the size of the face plate you desire choose ‘Off’...
Center hinge preparation can be turned on and off with a push pull air valve near the front of the machine. Start Sequence: The ‘Start Sequence’ button starts the 990F-3 cycle of operation after the door and jamb have been clamped in position. Emergency Stop: The ‘Emergency Stop’...
Face Plate Dead Bolt: Turns face plate on or off Side Drill (Latch Hole) The side drill bit has a 4” long fluted section. For 5” backsets and over bored dead-bolts you’ll need to put in a 6” bit. Be certain the machine is locked out electrically and disconnect air service. Finally, wait until the bit has come to full stop before getting out the collet wrenches.
This button is used if the operator at the 700-C has not reset his machine. The operator of the 990F-3 then can reset the machine so the finished door can then move to the next station (700-C). This button can only be activated if the 700-C: has no door staged with in it The last stage- meaning the out feed wheels have been activated.
Emergency Stop: Emergency Stop is used in conjunction with the Reset Button. In the event of crises with the 990F-3 the emergency stop button will only work on the Six- Shooter. Hopper Slide Valve: The hopper slide valve provides the operator a remote air shut-off that controls air flow to the screw hopper to aid in un-jamming debris in the screw drop zone.
Optional Controls: Load / Unload: If equipped with quick dump hopper (OPTION Z), this button would be used to operate this option. Six-Shooter Gear Installation and Maintenance: Before performing any maintenance or repairs lock and tag out the machine. To remove the gearbox you must first remove the gear motor and plunge cylinder.
Removing the Plunge Cylinder: Mark the (4) airlines connected to the plunge cylinder then disconnect. Remove the (4) bolts w/spacers that secure the cylinder to its mounting plates. Remove the 3/4” N.C. nut that fastens the rod end of the cylinder to the front plate of the Six- Shooter carriage.
Removing Gearbox: Slide the Gearbox toward the Six Shooter hand grip. Remove all screw driving bits While supporting the gearbox with a free hand remove the (4) bolts, redi-rods, and spacers that secure the gearbox to its mounting plates. Slide the gear motor mounting plates apart evenly to prevent binding. Gearbox can now be removed.
Gear Box Maintenance: Once disassembled and part is replaced, reassemble the gear box as follows: Step 1: Replace the 9 bearings back into proper position as shown in the following picture. Figure 8: Insert each of the bearings in to a proper slot shown in the figure above make sure that the bearings are in good shape.
Page 40
Step 2: Next replace the shafts and gears into the proper bearings as shown make sure the roll pins are in place in the shafts and gears or the shafts will rotate freely without the gears. Figure 9: Making sure that all of the roll pins are placed properly in to the shafts set the shafts in to the bearings from the step above.
Step 4: Finally set the other half of the gear box back on top of the shafts aligning the shafts with the output holes on this half of the box. Bolt together accordingly. Figure 11: Making sure that the holes are all aligned Reinstalling the Gearbox: Slide the coupler against the hardened thrust washer on the keyed gearbox shaft.
Tighten the set screw nearest to the gear motor against the keyway. Line up gear motor base plate mounting holes with two mounting holes in the mounting plate. Insert the 3/8” bolts and tighten. Re-attach hydraulic lines (A) and (B) to the gear motor Front Section Preliminary Hinge Center Set-Up: During preliminary hinge center set-up you will be positioning the “H”...
Repeat for all routing stations. Setting up the hinge backset: The hinge backset on the 990F-3 is controlled by two turret stops on each of the four routing carriages. The turrets are located at the upper left, and lower left areas on each routing carriage.
Changing the Turret Settings: Pull out on the turret plate ( the part that rotates) Continue rotating the turret until the desired bolt color is directly in line with the stop bolt. The stop bolts(s) are located directly below the top turret and directly above the bottom turret set. See following diagram.
If both the plate and latch hole are off center contact KVAL for instructions on shimming the self centering clamp system. In no case should you adjust the bolts in the turrets since these micrometer set at the factory.
Setting the Doorstops: The 990F-3 comes equipped with two door stops; one for right hand doors and one for left hand doors. The doors stops accurately position the door so that the hinge locations are consistent.
Door Width Minimum / Maximum Limits: The minimum door width on a 990F-3 is 1’ 6”. Depending on various options it could be more than the minimum door width. The limit switch is located on the back section right side edge clamp cylinder bracket.
Setting up the Back Section BACK SECTION PLUNGE Before setting up the back section you should test the various assemblies without bits or cutters installed to ensure that everything is functioning properly. Remove the two drilling bits from both the lock bore and the side drills, and back out the plate router so that it won’t drag on the door edge and turn it off using the router switch At the control panel turn on the lock bore and side drills and bolt plate router, and turn the back/front/both selector to back.
Page 49
Once the back section is running smoothly, replace the two drill bits in to the respective collets, turn on and push in the plate router using the Acuflex wrench. Fine a cull door you can ruin and make a practice cut following the next few steps. After the bits have been installed you are ready to put a new chip out in by removing the two 1”...
Setting Up Lock Height: Now that the hinges are in there right places, and your door stops have been set, you can adjust the lock section to put the lock in the right place, relative to the door stop. NOTE: Check door to make sure it is square. It is important that you set the lock height with a good door.
The lock bore backset (the distance from the center line of the lock bore to the door’s edge) is controlled by four adjustable turret stops. KVAL’s factory setting for the lock bore turrets accommodates 5”, 2.75” and 2.375”. See the following diagrams.
Self – Centering Adjustments: This can be done by following the diagram provided. Bolt Plate Width Adjustments: This is done by adjusting the bolt plate width turret and index stop see following diagram. Side Drill (Latch Hole) The side drill bit has a 4” long fluted section. For 5” backsets and over bored dead-bolts you’ll need to put in a 6”...
Lock Bore Diameter: Lock out air and electrical service. Use collet wrenches to put in the appropriate face boring bit. Replace chip out block with a new one, or a block previously used for the hole diameter. 40” Lock Location When running a 44”...
Chapter 5: Maintenance Maintenance Schedule Daily: Blow off dust from entire machine. Lubricate linear bearings and chrome shaft with silicone. Wipe down machine Check tooling for wear Empty water filter bowl if not a self draining system Photo eyes should be wiped off and checked to ensure that all fastening rings are snug. Check the air pressure Check the Chip-Out blocks for wear.
LDS 18 Special A (KVAL P/N LUBE PD2). Failure to use the approved products voids warranty. Approved Lubrication Products: Chevron AW Hydraulic Oil 32 – or KVAL P/N SYSLUBG or G-C lubricants light AW R&O or Mobile DTE 24 or Shell Tellus32 or Gulf Harmony 32. Lubricator Adjustments: Using knob on the top of the lubricator, adjust until one drop per every other cycle is used (as observed through sight glass.) Turn flow all the way open the reduce flow to proper...
Page 57
To prime the lubricator, find an air line on the Front Section of the machine that is energized, and disconnect it, allowing the air stream to bleed air pressure away from any persons. Direct the air stream at the machine so you can see when there is an oily film blowing out of the air hose. NOTE: It might take up to 15 minutes to get a good prime.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Limit Switches If a machine suddenly stops in mid cycle check the limit switches, a worn limit switch arm or a misadjusted limit switch is more than likely the cause. Depending on the model of limit switch you receive, the amount of “pre-travel” (amount of movement from the arms resting position) is either 5 or 20 degrees before the limit switch actuates (Clicks).
The sending and receiving units are in one unit, these operate in the same manner as the ones described previously. Note: When a machine stops for no reason it is usually the fault of dirt photo eye or a misaligned limit switch arm.
If the valve is not receiving an electrical signal, see “Electrical Trouble Shooting” instruction. It might be necessary to call in a specialist or check with KVAL customer service at 1-800-553-5825 If an Air Leak is coming from an exhaust port on the air bank: Check the solenoid for the manual override.
Basic Electrical Troubleshooting: The electrical component systems are designed to expedite the troubleshooting process and minimize “down time”. In general, component systems have the input or feed functions at the top. Output or load functions are positioned at the bottom. Most two voltage electrical panels are designed with the LOW VOLTAGES on the LEFT, and the HIGH VOLTAGES on the RIGHT.
Front Section Does Not Function Property: Front section is not turned on at the control panel: The front section will not operate if the front/back/both selector switch at the control panel is not turned to either front or both. Check to ensure that this switch is properly selected. The Six-Shooter is not moved fully to the right: The front section will not operate if the Six-Shooter has not been rolled all the way to the right at its home position and makes contact with the limit switch located at the upper right corner of the...
Cylinders that move the front section Move front section to the “In Pocket Position”, then do the following: Check to ensure that the 8” and 1 7/8” cylinders are all fully extended. Check to ensure that the 1-1/4 cylinders are fully retracted. One of the cylinders is malfunctioning: Check each cylinder on each front section assembly, looking/ listening for air leakage from the seals, connecting air lines, valve bank that operates the cylinder or cylinder stack.
Feed System Surging: If the feed system surges at high and low speed, it usually means that the IR comp on your DC drive board needs to be adjusted. Call a KVAL technician for more information. Feed system moving doors too fast: If the feed system is moving doors into the door stop to fast check the DC drive board.
Minimum speed should be set to a smooth crawl. Setting up bolt plate length: The 990F-3 is capable of machining bolt plates 2” to 12” long. To adjust the bolt plate length simply adds or removes telescoping spacer pins as required. Make sure that the same amount of spacer pin is added to both the left and right sides.
Hopper Alignment: Shut off the slide valves, located on the Bimba O91-D cylinder, that prevents screws from dropping down. Push the Six-Shooter start and pivot down to the right hand “H” block. Once you adjust the collars, push the release button to pivot back the Six-Shooter. Try rolling it from one end of the frame to the other if it doesn’t roll freely, loosen the set collars on one axel and twist the lower carriage left and then right until it will roll freely, making sure that the rollers are aligned and there is no binding.
Place a hinge on the magnetic hinge holder with the knuckle centered between the two small stop bars in the slot, push “Start” to pivot it into the first “H” shaped block followed by “Screw Insert” to mount the hinge. When the driver bits stop, push the “Release” button and inspect the screw pattern.
All four hinges-bit marks too high or too low: If all four are too high or low by the same amount you need to raise or lower the 6 shooter. Measure how much the marks vary from center, shut off the slide valves on the screw feeder to prevent screws from dropping out, roll the 6 shooter to the end of the machine.
If the speed of the bit rotation is changed, the cylinder speed in will probably also have to be changed. Normally the bypass valve is set at the factory and should not be adjusted without calling a KVAL technician. Loose Screws All Screws Loose: The Six Shooter is designed to drive screws tight, just like a hand drill.
See ‘Loose Screws’, and re-adjust the stop bolt that trips the limit switch (on the right side of Six Shooter), turning the Six Shooter off as the screws bottom out. Check and see if the split shells are too tight. See ‘Split Shells’ Kick-Out: Kick out is what happens when you are driving screws and the Six-Shooter kicks out of the “H”...
Magnetized Screws: Sometimes screw manufacturers fail to demagnetize screws before sending them to you. Have your purchasing agent make sure that they are sending demagnetized screws so they will slide freely against the metal within the screw feeder. Make sure the slides in the screw feeder, plastic feeder tubes, and the screw receivers are thoroughly clean.
Any lesser quality can wear the split shells out and sacrifice screw driving quality. In order to insure that all screw hoppers installed on KVAL machines work correctly to customer specifications, KVAL requests each customer to send 600, or approximately one box, of screws for testing prior to the machine being shipped from the factory.
The decision to repair or replace machinery parts under warranty is subject to review of said machinery parts by an authorized KVAL representative and will only be performed if determined by KVAL that part qualifies for repair or replacement as specified in this warranty.
