6-20 Operation
6.8.3.2 Conveyor Stop/Clamp Air Regulator and Gauge
Located on the right rear of the dispensing system next to the main air inlet, the Stop/Clamp Air
Regulator and Gauge controls air pressure supplied to the stop pins and board pins (chain conveyor)
and/or bar clamps. The recommended air pressure is 30 to 40 psi (206 to 275 kPa).
"NOTE If air pressure is too high, parts may be damaged. If pressure is too low, the stop pins,
board pins and bar clamps will not work.
To adjust the Conveyor Stop/Clamp air pressure:
1. Locate the Conveyor Stop/Clamp Air Regulator adjustment knob at the rear of the dispensing
system (
Figure 6-8).
2. Unlock the adjustment knob by pulling it out.
TIP For accurate pressure adjustment, lower the pressure below the desired level and then
increase to the desired pressure.
3. Rotate the knob counterclockwise until the Stop/Clamp Air Gauge registers 0 psi.
4. Rotate the knob clockwise until the Stop/Clamp Air Gauge registers 55 psi (379 kPa).
5. Monitor the Stop/Clamp Air Gauge to make sure that pressure builds at a steady rate. Watch
for dropping pressure indicating an air leak.
! If there is an air leak, identify the source, shut off the facility air, and fix the leak before
proceeding.
6. Lock the knob by pushing it in.
