Page 12: Installation Of Ff/Fm311Dr
Installation Install the FF/FM311DR on a solid and horizontal floor (or table) so that screws can be fed from the top face, setup can be carried out from the front face, and the power switch can be operated from the back face, for correct vibration to be performed for screw alignment (see the figure shown below). -
Page 13: Preparation Of Operation
Preparation of operation Before starting operation, make preparations as follows: 4.1. Connection of screw feeding hose When connecting the screw feeding hose WARNING (1) Make sure that the air supply is shut down. (2) Fix both ends securely. If the screw feeding hose comes off with air being supplied, a screw fed by compressed air may jump off from an end of the hose, leading to injuries (if it hits your eye, you may lose your sight) or damage to equipment around the machine. - Page 14 Connect the cables to the FF/FM311DR in the following procedure. (1) Confirm that the power switch of the FF/FM311DR is turned off. (2) Connect the cables securely to the specified positions as shown below. Be sure to tighten the fixing screws if installed in the plugs.

4.4. Loading screws Opening the screw inlet cover, load the screws conforming to FF/FM311DR specifications into the basket. Do not load the screws exceeding the height of the partition plate (red mark). Close the screw inlet cover after you have loaded the screws. -
Page 16: Turning On Power
POWER LED (green) goes off before turning on the power switch. (2) Do not turn on/off the power many times in a short time. Otherwise, the useful time of the FF/FM311DR may be reduced and failure may happen. -
Page 17: Checking Of Operation
In sync with the screw tightening operation, input a screw feeding signal from an external control device, such as a PLC, into the No. 7 pin of the FF/FM311DR external I/O receptacle (CN IO). With this signal, the FF/FM311DR starts to feed screws by compressed air. -

This adjusts the operation time of the solenoid valve for feeding the screws. Adjust the time so that a screw at the FF/FM311DR can reach the chuck unit of the driver unit. The screw feeding time is influenced by the screw size, air pressure, screw feeding air flow rate, and screw feeding hose diameter etc. -
Page 23: Adjustment Of Screw Feeding Air Flow Rate
7.2. Adjustment of screw feeding air flow rate This adjusts the air flow rate at screw feeding operation. To adjust the flow rate, loosen the lock nut (as shown in the figure below) and rotate the speed controller according to the table below. The air flow rate is influenced by the screw size, air pressure, screw feeding time, and screw feeding hose diameter. -
Page 24: Adjustment Of Vibrator Vibration Frequency
7.4. Adjustment of vibrator vibration frequency This adjusts the speed of the screws traveling along the track. The following figure shows an approximate relationship between the vibrator vibration frequency and the vibrator vibration strength. Although the vibrator vibration strength is largest near the resonance frequency as shown in the figure. However, we recommend that the frequency be adjusted to a frequency a little higher than the resonance frequency for stable vibration. -
Page 25: Adjustment Of Photoelectric Sensor
7.7. Adjustment of photoelectric sensor The photoelectric sensor is mounted on the top of the track. When the screws aligned on the track reach the detection position of the photoelectric sensor and the photoelectric sensor turns ON, the hopper track stops swaying and the vibrator stops vibrating automatically. -
