  • Page 7: About The Machine

    About the Machine The XT-1200 Dropper is designed to effectively feed, count, and ac- cumulate product at high speed, producing high levels of automated productivity. Review the main assemblies below to become familiar with names and locations of feeder parts and adjustments. This will help to prepare you for initial setup.
  • Page 8 Main Assemblies Feature Descriptions Feature Description Gate assembly and adjustment Mounted on a gate plate assembly above the feed belt, this device provides a curvature to help preshingle stacked product. When properly adjusted, a gap is created to help one piece of product to be fed at a time.
  • Page 9 Control Box Features Item Description (1) System I/O This 14-pin connector sends DC voltage or ON/OFF control signals to other devices. (2) Trigger Input The photo sensor sends the signal to begin a feed cycle via this 4-pin connector. (3) DR702 Connection point for left dropper fin.

  • Page 10: Preparing For Operation

    Preparing for Operation Overview To prepare the feeder for operation a series of simple adjustments need to be made for the product you are going to run. After all the adjustments have been completed, the final step is to test run the feeder to verify the settings are correct.
  • Page 11 Procedure Step 1 Gate Assembly To adjust the gate assembly for proper gap, follow these steps: Adjustment Raise the gate assembly so that the gap is greater then one piece (continued) of sample product. Then slide one piece of sample product under the gate assembly.
  • Page 12 Review Step 2 Side Guides Setting The side guides hold the stack of product being fed, and they guide the product through the feeder in a straight line of movement. Side guides are adjusted to accommodate different widths of product. Objective Adjust the side guides so that the product stack maintains uniformity from top to bottom, with no drifting or binding.
  • Page 13 Review Step 3: Back Wedge The back wedge provides proper lift to keep the weight of the product on the feed belt, and it creates the force necessary to push product Adjustment against the gate assembly. By adjusting it in and out from the gate assembly, you can create the lift and force necessary to preshingle product against the curvature of the gate assembly.
  • Page 14 Step 3: Procedure Back Wedge To adjust the back wedge for proper initial positioning, follow these steps: Adjustment (continued) Grasp a handful of product, approximately 2 to 2.5 in. (5 to 6cm) thick, and preshingle the edges with your thumb to match the curve of the gate assembly.
  • Page 15 Review Step 4: Photo Sensor Adjustment The photo sensor detects the leading edge of each piece of product to verify it is present enabling batch counting functionality and various error detection capabilities. The sensor can be positioned along a slot. The product will drift past the sensor depending on the speed setting and the product weight, size and shape.
  • Page 16 Review Step 5: Dropper Fin Adjustment The dropper fins provide a landing area for the product as it exits the feeder. After the product is accumulated, the fins rotate to drop the batch. Objective Fin adjustment is product-dependent. For optimum performance, fins are set to match the width of the products being fed, plus 1/4".
  • Page 17 Review Step 6: Dropper Backstop The backstop and knockdown assembly halts the discharged product, aligning the front and back product position to provide necessary control Adjustment of the accumulating batch. Objective Backstop/knockdown adjustment is product-dependent. Proper adjustment maintains product control and allows the accumulation of a batch.
  • Page 18 Step 7: Manual Test Now that you have made all the necessary adjustments for operation, it is recommended that you verify the singulation and separation of to Verify product through the gate assembly area. Before you power-up and run your machine with a full hopper, jog several sheets of product through the gate assembly area.
