The Conveyor tray or chute must be supported at
both ends to minimize vibration and deflection. A block of
Delrin GP-500 or Nylon, low friction material can be used
for the tray to slide. For optimum installation, use P/A
Roller Slides to rigidly control the tray movement and
provide trouble-free operation. See page 27.
8. The Speed Adjustment is preset at the factory with
the correct frequency for a light weight tray or chute.
The speed can be adjusted by turning the screw or knob
clockwise to decrease the movement on the Models
TP-3, TP-10, and TP-40. The TP-70 and TP-140 are
adjusted by turning the screw or knob counter-clockwise
to decrease the movement. Maximum speed is not
required to move parts or scrap efficiently.
9. If the TP-40 Speed Frequency is inadequate, release
the Air Regulator Rod T40-029 and gently push forward
to increase speed or backward to decrease.
10. The TP-10 may require a slight adjustment to
maintain proper speed frequency after a period of
operation. If Speed Adjustment Screw T10-405 does not
slow the unit sufficiently, it may be necessary to slightly
snug the two screws at the Air Regulator Valve T10-401.
This reduces the air being released from the valve and
decreases speed. Snugging the screws too tightly will
cause bending of the Air Regulator Rod and poor
performance.
11. Spray the same Tellus oil used in lubrication on the
pistons each week.
12. If there is a build-up of sticky oil on the conveyor tray
or if the parts or scrap are very oily, they may stick to the
surface and reduce movement. To reduce the coefficient
of friction, try dimpling the surface of the conveyor chute
with a ballpeen hammer or use a different material like
expanded metal or profiled, roll formed material.
