7.2 Operation of the Machine

The unit is designed as a incomplete machine and is to be treated as a component to a complete
machine, incomplete machines or equipment
Safe operation and control of this unit are the ultimate responsibility of the end user/owner
Setting the Proximity/sensor Switch (1 and 2 switch option)
The single (1) proximity/sensor switch (Item #41) is attached to the side opposite reducer. The switch is
set as shown and the indexer should stop in the center of the dwell (key pointing up). If the key does not
point up when the indexer is stop then loosen the two screws that hold the switch bracket in place and
remount the bracket into a new location. There are several location screw holes on the indexer housing
arranged in an arc pattern. Advance the location of the bracket in a direction that is opposite the direction
of cam shaft rotation. For example if the cam shaft is rotating clockwise advance the bracket to the left (in
the counter clockwise direction). If double (2) switches are used (reversing application) then they will both
have to be mounted in new positions, the left switch further over to the left and the right switch further
over to the right.
