Procedure for Setting up a Mechanical Pile Feeder
(Continued)
9. Now load about five inches
of the stock you are to run
on the feed table against
the corner front vertical
guide and the front vertical
guides. The stock should
be properly fanned and
jogged before loading on
the feeder. Keep the stock
as flat as possible. Now
raise the load with the hand
crank until it is about 1-½
inches below the sucker
feed wheel.
10. Install and adjust both the
right and left horizontal pile
angle guides on the right
and left edge of the sheets
close enough to trap the air
but not close enough to
bind the sheets as they
leave the feeder.
11. Two backstops are provided that mount on the horizontal pile angle guides at the tail of
the sheets. This is to prevent the sheets from being blown back from the top of the pile.
12. Loosen the setscrews on the feed wheel and the collar that compresses the spring that
holds the brass plate against the feed wheel and move them until the feed wheel is
slightly off center toward the left side of the folder (operator side). Tighten the setscrew
on the feed wheel. Apply just enough pressure on the collar against the spring and the
brass plate to hold it to the feed wheel, and tighten the setscrew in the collar. The
vacuum when the folder is running will hold the brass plate against the feed wheel, so the
purpose of the spring is to have the brass plate against the feed wheel when the vacuum
is turned on.
