TC - Feeder Standard6.0Preparation prior to initial commissioningPreparation prior to initial commissioning1.You have to fill ISO VG 15 oil in the tank of the oil-fog lubricator up tothe striation (at unpressurised status)ATTENTION:No oil needed insystems withElectric drive !Fill in oil,after fillingclose againAbb 7)2.3.Adding oil to the lubricator.Only use the oil type recommended by the manufacturer of thescrewdriver.Further information is provided in the supplied manufacturerdocuments.Check whether all cable and hose connections of the cable hosepackage are tightly connected.18

TC - Feeder StandardPreparation prior to initial commissioningAdjustment of lubricator by systems with pneumatic drive.Before commissioning the oil-fog lubricator must be adjusted. Inoperation it must be controlled and regulated regularly (weekly).Therefore you proceed as following:Activate the screwdriver for approximately one minute. After activating adrop of oil should be visible in the oil-fog lubricator. Through theadjusting screw the amount of oil can be modified.ATTENTION:No oil needed insystems withElectric drive !Abb 8)Adjusting the lubricator Clockwise to reduce the amount of oil. Counter clockwise to increase the amount of oil.Increasing the amount of oil permanently can lead to malfunction causedby pollution.A permanent slight amount of oil will reduce the service life of thescrewdriver.Checklist Preparation prior to initial commissioning:Fill in OilOil type Oil type at the declaration of the manufacturerCompressed air hoses tightly connectedPower cable tightly connectedLubricator adjusted19

TC - Feeder Standard9.29.2.1Faults, causes and remedial measuresMechanical conditionsSetting the air pressure for the feed air burstThe screws singled out in the baffle plate of the sorting pot are transportedthrough the feeding hose to the screwdriver by means of a burst of air. The burstof air is set depending on the screw size and length of the feeding hose for duration (long hose long burst of air) and for Volume (heavy screw higher volume).The feed air burst is properly set when the screws reach the die unimpaired, yetare not shot out from the die.To set the duration of the feed air burst, rotate the adjusting screw (2 in Abb12): by turning it clockwise to shorten the air burst by turning it anticlockwise to lengthen the air burst2Abb 11)Adjusting screw for feed burst26

TC - Feeder StandardFaults, causes and remedial measuresTo set the volume of the feed air burst, rotate the throttle screw (in Abb. 13)on the valve console by turning it clockwise to decrease the volume, by turning it anticlockwise to increase the volume.Abb 12)9.2.2Throttle screw in TC - FeederSetting the pause intervalTo reduce the noise emission, the sorting pot is inactive during the breaks. Thesorting pot is immediately re-activated when the Screwdriver is actuated.1Abb 13)Setting the pause intervalThe pause interval is the after-running time of the sorting pot after the lastoperation. To set the pause interval, rotate the adjusting screw (1 in Abb. 14): by turning it clockwise to reduce the pause interval, by turning it anticlockwise to increase the pause interval.Setting ranges are minimal 3 seconds until maximal 30 seconds.27

TC - FeederMaintenance10.0 Maintenance10.1 Safety instructions for maintenance, servicing and eliminatingmalfunctionsCarry out the maintenance tasks laid out in these operating according toschedule. This will prolong the life of the screwdriver.Maintenance, servicing and fault clearance tasks must only be carriedout by personnel with corresponding qualifications (s. Chapter11.2, Page38 und Chapter 4.2 Page 15)If you need to remove the front plate on the feed module duringmaintenance, servicing and repair work, pull the mains plugbefore commencing work!Danger of electrical shock!Safety instructions forhandling the electricsystemTasks on all parts of the system supplied with electrical energy mustonly be carried out by skilled electricians.The operating voltage required for the system can have fatalconsequences upon contact with live parts. Prior to commencingwork, switch off the feed module at the main switch and pull themains plug!In the event of a short circuit, there is a danger of sparking and fire.Only use original fuses with prescribed intensity of current!The electrical equipment of the system needs to be checked regularly.Defects such as loose connections, etc. are to be reported and remediedimmediately.31

TC - FeederMaintenance10.3 Maintenance of the feed module10.3.1 Cover of the TC - FeederVisually inspect the cover of the feed module. An intact, closed coverreduces noise from the vibratory bowl feeder.10.3.2 Check the pneumatic hosesCheck the pneumatic hose of the compressed air feed for integrity.Leaky pneumatic hoses can be identified by an acoustic "whistling" noisefrom the compressed air.If it is necessary to perform work on the pneumatic system inside thefeed module, have Technik Center Schraubsysteme GmbH conduct it foryou. If connections to the pneumatic system become mixed up, it cancause the unintended triggering of compressed air impulses.There is a danger of objects shooting out–even once the work onthe pneumatic system has been concluded!10.3.3 Cleaning the sorting pot in the feed module1. Switch off the main switch.ONOFF2. Remove the objects from the sorting pan.3. Clean the sorting pot with a soft cloth and petroleum.4. Return the objects to the sorting pan.5. Switch on the main switch.ONOFF6. Trigger the screwdriver several times until the objects are located inthe singling out.33
