If the holding plate (screw guide 1) height needs to be adjusted, proceed as directed below. Tilt this machine or operate it so that the screws are delivered to the escaper section. If there is no clearance between the holding plate (screw guide 1) and screw heads, the screws cannot move. The screws can move while the shutter is open with an adequate clearance provided between the holding plate (screw guide 1) and screw heads.

If the escaper operates in such a manner that the applied screws are not readily retained by the escaper, perform the following check/adjustment procedure. ●Check that the clearance between the rail and escaper is properly adjusted. Rail front-rear The clearance should ideally be as small as possible. Fine adjustments are needed position lock screw ...
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Loading the Screws - 1. 6 Open the screw bin lid. While the bin scooping plates are at the lowest Rail Approx. 3 mm position, you turn off the power, and pour in the screws until they are piled Screw bin up to about 3 mm below the rail upper surface.

Operational features This machine is equipped with an overload protection circuit. If a movable section is overloaded during a this machine operation , for instance, when a trapped screw or other article, or excessive screw is caught up inside the screw bins, the overload protection circuit will activate. Function descriptions and remedies Under normal conditions, the drive motor in this machine rotates in normal direction to feed the loaded screws continuously to the escaper section, thereby allowing you to obtain the screws successively.

Installation with Robotic System Fixing method When installed with a robotic assembly, the screw feeder shall be fastened by lower edges of the cover. (Please refer to diagram on the right side) Fastening screws on bottom edge of the cover can be used for this purpose as well. In addition, if the rubber supports shall be replaced with fastening assemblies When using the fastening screw hole in the lower part of the feeder shown in the figure on the right, please keep length of the screws less than 8mm going...
7. MAINTENANCE Before performing any maintenance, turn off the power switch CAUTION and remove all the loaded screws from this machine. 7- 1. Cleaning the Rail and Rail Guide Wall When the rail groove is soiled, the screw feeding speed may become lower. If such a situation is encountered, wipe the rail groove clean with a thin, clean cloth moistened with alcohol.

7- 2. Installing the Rail Assembly and Escaper Components After cleaning, reassemble the rail section by reversing the rail removal procedure. Be sure to lodge the escaper drive gear pin in the escaper rail groove as shown on right. Escaper rail groove Escaper Sensors Lodge the escaper drive gear...
8. REPLACING PARTS Rail front-rear position lock screw ●Replacing the rail assembly The rail assembly of this machine can easily be replaced. Escaper If the loaded screws do not smoothly feed after cleaning or if you intend to use a different screw diameter, replace the rail assembly.
Page 20
●Replacing the brush If the ends of the brush bristles are worn out so that improperly oriented screws cannot be swept away, please replace the brush. To replace the brush, position it as shown. You can adjust its position by rotating the timing shaft. Remove the brush assembly mounting screws and then the brush assembly.

Adjustments to be made after rail assembly/escaper replacement ① .Adjust the clearance between the rail assembly and escaper. ---> Adjust the rail assembly mounting position (front-rear adjustment). The clearance should be minimized. Fine adjustments are needed particularly when the applied screws have a small diameter. For the adjustment procedure, see page 11.
Page 22
③ .Adjust the clearance between the rail lateral surface and escaper screw receiver. --> Adjust the escaper screw receiver mounting position (left-right adjustment). Position the escaper screw receiver so that a clearance of about 0.1 to 0.3 mm is provided between the rail lateral surface and escaper screw receiver.
Page 23
⑤ .Adjust the positional relationship between the rail groove and escaper groove. ---> Adjust the rail bracket stopper mounting position (left-right adjustment). Position the rail bracket stopper so that the escaper groove is aligned with the rail groove when the escaper moves to receive a screw from the rail.
