When each valve is fired, attention should be paid to identify any air leaks that occur when the active side of the system becomes live manually fire Y239 . Check that flow regulator is fitted in the correct orientation . Check this by holding the valve on over ride then adjusti the thumb wheel fully clockwise until the air flow stops , then turn fully anti clockwise and air flow should reach maximum It no adjustment is possible from thumb wheel, this means the flow regulator is fitted back to front Manually over riding Y147 valve should make All pop up cylinders fire the piston into the active position Check for air leaks in active position Manually over ride Y146 and all roller beds should drop down from the lifted position. Investigate any air leaks in the activated position Movement should be smooth , and even across all roller beds operating. If movement is violent, check that process has been followed and all flow regs are set to 2 1/2 turns open from the fully closed position. Report through ncr if this is the case manually fire Y241. Check that flow regulator is fitted in the correct orientation . Check this by holding the valve on over ride then adjusti the thumb wheel fully clockwise until the air flow stops , then turn fully anti clockwise and air flow should reach maximum It no adjustment is possible from thumb wheel, this means the flow regulator is fitted back to front Manually fire Y131 With valve held in the over ridden state, adjust regulator next to gripper to increase pressure to 0.4 MPA and then reduce pressure to zero. This is to confirm regulator is fitted to the system correctly . If regulation is not possible, check piping as fault is evident . Once happy with operation, set regulator pressure to 0.15 MPA once testing is complete remove air coupling and associated cable/pipe management installed for testing Y221 and Y220 need to be tested in parallel Set Y220 regulator to 0.1 MPA Manually fire and hold Y221 . Adjust regulator to increase pressure to 0.1 MPA If regulator doesn't increase in pressure check pipework for faults . With Y221 held, Activate Y220. Channel bar should move as the lock is now released. Release Y220 , then release Y221. Channel bar should not move. Activate Y221 and then the channel bar should retract. Doing these tests ensures the lock function as well as channel movement is correct Health and Safety Check all connections are made Connect air feed check for air leaks Check home positions Test valve bank outputs Test Y239 material load sensor blowers should be switched OFF Test Y147 Pop up E should be retracted Test Y146 Roller beds should be lifted Test Y221 Channel bar and Y220 Channel lock Test Y241 Rack blower Test Y131 Gripper height Remove pcl connections 2023-11-27T11:11:25Z 2460275.9662616 R0015280 Module E Pneumatic Tests 0 false false 0 0 0 1 plainlist 3 [[:Dokit:DocOptions]] [[DokitEPIEnable::yes]] R0015280 Module E Pneumatic Tests# QUERYee7a61aae48f1c3f91d8e4d7736360be R0015001B Module E Pneumatic Tests 0 fr R0015001B Module E Pneumatic Tests
