6.4 Sensor Adjustment and Calibration
On the Transtacker there are a total of 7 sensors, 3 potentiometers and 4 inductive switches used in
the automated sequences.
6.4.1 Potentiometer Sensors
There are 3 potentiometer sensors and their locations are shown in Figure 62. They perform the
following functions:
•
The ‘Pickup Angle’ potentiometer sensor’
s function is to monitor the position of the Pickup
throughout the ‘Auto
-
Pickup’ function
.
•
The ‘
Turntabl
e Lift Angle’ potentiometer sensor’s
function is to monitor the lift angle of the
Turntable in various auto functions.
•
The ‘Turntable Rotate Angle’ potentiometer sensor’s
function is to monitor the rotational
position of the Turntable in various auto functions.
Figure 62: Locations of the 3 Potentiometers on the Transtacker
Before you calibrate a sensor, it is good practice to check the feedback from each potentiometer on
the ‘Sensor Status’ page. This
is found on the ‘Ad
ditional Settings
’
page on the right-hand side and is
the second button down from the top as you will see on the screen shown in Figure 63. This page
will show the three different feedback readings that are labelled as previously mentioned. The
stated feedback signals are the current angles that each potentiometer sensor is reading at that
moment. Therefore, the angle stated should correspond directly with the visual position the
respective part is at.
•
In t
he ‘Home’ positi
on of the Pickup, the Turntable rotation and lift is approximately 0
o
.
•
In the
‘Away’ position
, the Pickup is approximately 180
o
.
•
In t
he ‘Away’ position
, the turntable rotation and lift is approximately 90
o
.
