PINSETTER SWITCHES AND SOLENOIDS

De-tangling Bar and Switch

If the string of two or more pins become tangled as the pins are being raised, additional string
pressure is put on the tension lever assemblies causing them to rotate into the de-tangling bar. This
action rotates the cam located on the end of the bar off of the de-tangle switch. The machine enters a
de-tangle sequence in an attempt to remedy the problem by turning the drive motor on/off to create an
up and down motion of the pins. Refer to Figure 3-27.
