Operating the machine 1 Operating the machine 1.1 General information The loader is supplied after testing without being completely dismantled. It is only detached from the analyser and the arm (3) with the fingers (6) (See figure arm installation) are removed for safety reasons. Therefore, an adjustment after installation may not be needed however the adjustments are described below.
Operating the machine 1.1.3 Connecting and disconnecting plastic tubes To connect the tube, simply push it into the fitting as far as it would go. Fig. 2: Plastic tube connecting To disconnect the tube, first press the plastic ring of the fitting up to the metal ring, keep it properly pressed and pull the tube.
Operating the machine 1.2 Mechanical connection to the analyzer F r o n t p a n e l Fig. 4: Autoloader reinstallation (Top view) • Before starting reinstallation take a look at the plastic tubes and bear in mind the way they are supported with the screw (7).
Operating the machine 1.3 Chain motor belt adjustment Fig. 5: Belt tension check The toothed belt of the chain motor is located underneath the left-hand section of the loader’s platform. The mechanical tension of the toothed belt (1) can be checked by applying the force to the belt, as shown on the picture by the red arrow.

Operating the machine Fig. 7: Chain tension adjustment (Bottom view) The loader is supplied with the adjusted chain tension. If necessary, check the tension of the chain as follows: • Press and hold several crucible trays (1) of the rear row on the platform so that they cannot move.
Operating the machine 1.5 Finger adjustment Fig. 9: Finger adjustment The maximum distance inside the fingers (1) should be about 36 mm. For adjusting: • Loose the screw (2). • Move the assembly (E) down to take it off the shaft (9) of the motor resp. off the gear box (10).

Operating the machine 1.8 Up/Down adjustment of the arm 1 4 8 1 9 1 4 6 4 8 1 4 7 9 5 1 4 7 9 6 Fig. 15: Arm installation • Apply compressed air to the analyzer. The fingers (6) resp. the arm (3) will go to the UP position.
Operating the machine Now the vertical laser (10) for sensing the home position of the arm (3) is continuously ON. This can be seen by looking at the sensor (11) underneath the laser (10), see figure arm installation. If the laser (10) is ON and there is no beeping to hear, it means that the sensor (11) is sensing the laser beam.

Operating the machine so that the beam will be in the middle of the sensor (7). In case of proper adjustment the beeper will stop beeping. The adjustment is made by loosing the screws (8) and by turning and moving the laser (6) until the beeping stops.
Operating the machine The arm goes first to the home position and then it turns back to the pick-up position Fingers down. 1.15 Crucible position on the platform Fig. 17: Loader front view Now the position of the crucible has to be adjusted to be coaxial to the fingers. For moving the crucible to the left and to the right, slightly loose the screws (1) and (2) and shift the whole platform (5) accordingly.
Operating the machine lowered by the same distance. If the crucible knocks on the pedestal and the arm turns up from the horizontal position, the crucibles platform has to be lifted higher. For moving the platform up and down, loose the screws (1) and (2) see image autoloader front view.
Operating the machine The beam of the horizontal laser cannot be detected. Defective laser or detector, crucibles don´t move due to blockage, defective motor etc. The furnace is not opened for the loader to place a crucible on to the pedestal.
