This chapter will provide a high-level product description of the TE100. 1.2 Introduction The Taylor Products TE100 is an electronic, self-correcting, small bagging scale. The TE100 is configured to fill open mouth bags. With over five years of technical development, the TE100 electronic weighing and control package is one of the most advanced weighing systems available.
General Description 1.6 Major Systems and Components When working with the Model TE100, it is important to understand the major systems and components of the unit. The major components of the system are: • Scale cabinet assembly o Cabinet o Shut off gate o Shut off gate bearings o Shut off gate cylinder o Dribble gate...
General Description 1.6.1 Scale Cabinet Assembly The scale cabinet assembly is the upper portion of the TE100. The scale cabinet assembly is made up of several components. 1.6.1.1 Scale Cabinet The scale cabinet is the core of the TE100. All other TE100 components are mounted on the scale cabinet.
General Description 1.6.1.2 Shut Off Gate The shut off gate is used to stop product flow into the package, after target weight has been achieved. 1.6.1.3 Shut Off Gate Bearings The shut off gate rides on a pair of sealed bearings. The use of bearings ensures that the shut off gate is able to smoothly open and close.
General Description 1.6.1.9 MAC Valves There are several MAC valves that are mounted on the rear of the TE100. These valves are used to control various pneumatic components on the TE100, such as the dribble gate, shut off gate, and bag clamp arms.
General Description 1.6.1.10 Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (FRL) Assembly The air pressure regulator used on the TE100 is a combination unit. It is a Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (FRL) assembly. This unit filters the incoming compressed air, regulates its pressure, and adds a lubricant to the air that provides lubrication to the internal components of the pneumatic devices that are downstream.
General Description 1.6.2 Spout assembly The entire spout assembly is suspended from the load cell. The only place that the spout assembly should contact any component on the scale cabinet assembly is on the top of the load cell where it is bolted to the load cell.
General Description 1.6.2.2 Bag Clamp Arms The TE100 uses two bag clamp arms. Each bag clamp arm pivots on a set of sealed bearings. The bag clamp arms are linked together using two chain-type links and a pivot block on each end of the bag clamp arms.
General Description 1.6.2.3 Bag Clamp Cylinders Two pneumatic cylinders are used to open and close the bag clamp arms. There is a bag clamp cylinder mounted on each side of the spout. Both cylinders are mounted inside the spout. The cylinder end of the bag clamp cylinder is mounted to the spout.
General Description 1.6.2.5 Start Switch The TE100 uses a rotary start switch. This switch is equipped with a wire bale. As the operator places the bag on the spout, their hand will trip the metal bale. As their hand touches the bale, the bale causes the shaft on the switch to rotate.
General Description 1.6.2.7 Optional Small Bag Adapter The TE100 can be equipped to fill bags that would normally be too small for the TE100. There are two small bag adapters that are available for the TE100, depending on the size of bag that is desired. Depending on the density of the product, the round (actually oval shaped) small bag adapter is used to fill packages ranging from 5–10 lb (2.3–4.5 kg) in size, while the rectangular small bag adapter is used to fill packages ranging from 5–10 lb (4.5–9.0 kg) in size.

Setup/Installation Table 3-1. TE100 Operational Controls Control Device Function WEIGHT knob Located on the right side of the control panel. The WEIGHT knob is used in conjunction with the display select switch to adjust the target weight. The knob is equipped with a lock collar to prevent the knob from being turned unintentionally.
Setup/Installation Control Device Function Over/under reject Located on the left side of the controller circuit board. The two potentiometers are used to adjust the adjustment under weight and over weight limit for each package. Each potentiometer has an adjustment range from potentiometers 0.0 to 0.8 lbs.
Setup/Installation 4. Set the full-scale range for the weight display. a. Loosen the lock collar on the WEIGHT knob and turn the knob fully clockwise. b. Watch the weight display and while holding the display select switch up in the SET WEIGHT position, turn the display trim potentiometer (upper center of the printed circuit board) until the number displayed is equal to the desired full-scale weight range multiplied by a factor of 1.24.
Setup/Installation 6. Locate the coarse zero adjustment switches. They are located in the lower right corner of the printed circuit board. The two switches can be set to four unique combinations. Both switches ON, both switches OFF, switch #1 ON/switch #2 OFF, switch #1 OFF/switch #2 ON. Try all four combinations.
Setup/Installation 5. Check the weight display. If the display reading matches the weight of the test weight, calibration is complete. 6. If the display reading is only slightly different that the test weight, try using the WEIGHT TRIM POT to adjust the display reading to match the test weight. 7.
Setup/Installation Table 3-2. Coarse Weight Gain Switch Combinations Step SW2-1 SW2-2 SW2-3 SW2-4 15. Turn the weight trim potentiometer either clockwise or counter clockwise until the display matches the test weight. 16. If the operator is unable to get the weight display to match the weight of the test weight, remove the test weight and wire/cord.

Setup/Installation Density correction switch Figure 3-17. Density Correction Switch 4. Adjust the density correction switch as follows: a. If the first bag weight is 0.7 to 1.0 lb/kg overweight, turn the density correction switch up one notch (for example, switch from position 5 to position 6). b.
Setup/Installation 3.6.5 Over/Under Reject Adjustments The TE100 is programmed with a unique over/under feature. The operator will program in the acceptable limits. For example, if the target weight is 30 pounds, the operator may determine that a package of 29.6 pounds or 30.4 pounds would be acceptable. The operator will adjust the Over/Under reject points with 29.6 and 30.4.
Setup/Installation 3.6.6 Dribble Gate Setup After completing the other calibration procedures, the operator should check the operation of the machine to determine if the dribble gate requires any adjustment. For example, when filling a 50 lb package in less than 4 seconds, if the package weights are erratic, move the dribble gate in one step. The result will be a slower fill rate and more stable bag weights.
Setup/Installation 3.7 Installing the Optional Small Bag Adapter The TE100 can be equipped to fill bags that would normally be too small for the TE100. There are two small bag adapters that are available for the TE100, depending on the size of bag that is desired. Depending on the density of the product, the round (actually oval shaped) small bag adapter is used to fill packages ranging from 5–10 lb (2.3–4.5 kg) in size, while the rectangular small bag adapter is used to fill packages ranging from 5–10 lb (4.5–9.0 kg) in size.
