5 - 8. Sensor Voltage Level Adjustment Screws can generally be used without further adjustment after the initial adjust- ment. However, if you are using screws outside the specifications in this manual, the machine may not work properly. In this case check and readjust the following: Adjust the sensor levels for when screws are on the rail and for when no screws Closeup are on the rail.

*** Stopper Sensor Adjustment (Pin 5) *** The stopper sensor detects stopper movement. Loosen the stopper sensor bracket fixing screws (2 pcs) and adjust the light receiving sensor position horizontally. (See Picture 19) 4.0V or more: Stopper ON 0.2V or less: Stopper OFF Stopper sensor Fixing screws If the voltage is 2.5V or over, the sensor judges that there are screws on the rail.
6. Basic Operation The driving motor repeats normal rotation and an inversion for about 2 seconds at a time, and the scooper carries screws to the rail. The vibrator (solenoid) continuously sends screws to the front stopper to be picked up using the screwdriver. Note: If no screws are sent for approximately 10 seconds, vibration of a rail becomes stlonger.
Page 19
6 - 2. Operation Check ● If each part is adjusted appropriately, screws are sent to the stopper. ● Pick up screws from the stopper using the electric screwdriver. Using the bit guide as a guide, pull the screwdriver downward. Fit the screwdriver bit into the cross slot of the screw and then pull the screwdriver toward you in a hori- zontal direction to pick up the screw.
7. Miscellaneous 7 - 1. Overload Protection Circuit The machine is equipped with an overload protection circuit. Normally, the driving motor rotates and sends screws to the rail. However, if an overload is applied to the machine’s moving parts, the driving motor rotates in the counter direction for a given length of time and then rotates normally again.
8. Parts Replacement and Adjustment Turn off the machine before replacing or adjusting parts. The brush, driving belt, and driving motor are all consumable parts. You will need to order another rail if the size of the screw you are using is to be changed. Read the instructions below thoroughly before adjustment.
