Electronic Applicator Counter Assembly Kit(s)
408-8980
CAUTION
!
Damage may occur to the magnet by
over-tightening the jam nut.
9. Place the second jam nut on the socket head
cap screw leaving a 1mm gap between the jam
nuts. See Figure 5.
1mm Jam Nut Spacing
that there is a minimum 0.5mm gap between the
back of the counter and the ring magnet.
NOTE
i
This gap is to ensure that the ring magnet does
not rub against the counter when the applicator is
cycled.
17. Replace the ram and install the applicator into
the machine.
18. Put the counter into the Switch Selection
mode and select which reed switch to use.
Typically, the left switch is selected for side–feed
type applicators and the right switch is selected for
end–feed type applicators. Only one switch should
be selected.
Figure 5
10. Install the socket head screw into the
adjustment screw. Tighten the jam nut to prevent
the socket head screw from turning in the
adjustment screw. Check that the 1mm gap
between the jam nuts has been maintained.
11. Install the ram back into the applicator and
install the applicator into the machine.
12. Insert terminals into the applicator. Loosen the
screw on top of the pivot block. Adjust the
applicator feed to the required position. Refer to
Instruction Sheets 408–8039 for END FEED and
408–8040 for SIDE FEED type applicators. Tighten
the screw on top of the pivot block when complete.
NOTE
i
If the pivot block screw is not loosened prior to
making the feed adjustment, the fed rod jam nut
will become loose.
13. Disconnect machine power and remove the
applicator from the machine.
14. Remove the ram assembly from the applicator
housing.
15. Assemble the counter to the counter bracket
with the supplied oval head screws.
19. With the terminator at top–dead–center
observe the state of the switch by putting the
counter in the Switch State mode. Slide the
counter away from the feed arm until the switch
state changes. Then move it an additional 1mm
away from the feed arm and tighten the counter
bracket mounting screws.
NOTE
i
It does not matter which state the switch is in at
top-dead-center. It is only important that the
state changes when the applicator is cycled and
returns to the original state at the end of the
cycle.
20. Verify that a minimum gap of 0.5mm still exists
between the back of the counter and the magnet.
Reposition the counter if necessary.
21. Cycle the machine. Verify that the counter’s
“Total Count” increases by one for every machine
cycle.
NOTE
i
After any feed adjustment to the applicator, the
counter's operation should be checked.
3.2. Installation of the Electronic Applicator Counter to
HDM Air Feed Counter Kit
NOTE
i
Refer to the appropriate applicator instruction
sheet for specific applicator adjustments and
maintenance.
16. Loosely install (finger tight) the counter bracket
to the feed rod guide using the supplied washers
and socket head cap screws. Position the counter
so the terminal feed arm lever does not hit it with
the ram removed from the applicator. Make sure
The kit (Figure 6) includes the electronic applicator
counter, counter mounting bracket, grooved pin,
counter bracket, ring magnet, stripper spacer, and
hardware for mounting the counter and ring magnet to
the applicator.
