Introduction

The Eject Push bar on the Saw Outfeed on the ZX machines does not have sensors fitted to monitor the position of the cylinders. This causes an issue when the bar is obstructed and either does not fully extend or not fully extract. The cycle is not aware of the position of the cylinders and the machine will continue to run, often resulting in a collision. Not having sensors fitted also means that the Eject Push cycle is run via a timer. However, using a timer means that the system does not know the actual position of the cylinders. Having sensors fitted to the cylinders will allow us to have a cycle that monitors the position of the cylinders and we can determine the cycle has finished before allowing another operation to proceed. We can also use the sensors as feedback to stop the machine if the cycle fails. This will result in fewer collisions and damage to parts or products.

Étape 1 - Check Parts

A retrofit kit will be sent with all the parts needed to carry out this task.

The assembly number for the kit is R0019218. If you have any feedback regarding this kit, please use this assembly number.

It is important to check the parts you have received against the assembly list to ensure you have nothing missing before starting the job.

Étape 2 - Turn Off the Machine

...Before carrying out any work on the machine, you should ensure that the machine has been made safe to work on.
