5.7 Conveyor Operations
5.7.1 Chain Conveyor
The chain conveyor transports the workpiece into and out of the coating system. Operation of the
conveyor is automatic during production runs. An optical sensor detects the part as it arrives, triggering
the Conveyor Controller Module to activate the stop pin to stop the part at the correct location. Board pins
in the dispense zone secure the part in place during fluid dispensing.
5.7.1.1 Conveyor Adjustments
The conveyor should not need adjustment during normal operation. However, during programming, or
when replacing conveyor parts or changing the type/size of the workpiece, you may need to move the
board pins left or right, or adjust the distance between the conveyor rails.
To manually adjust the distance between conveyor rails:
1. Loosen the Width Adjustment Clamp (Figure 5-1).
2. Manually turn the hand crank clockwise or counterclockwise as needed.
 Turning the hand crank clockwise increases the distance between the rails.
 Turning the hand crank counterclockwise decreases the distance between the rails.
3. When you are satisfied with the distance between the rails, tighten the Width Adjustment
Clamp.
