FUNCTION
The High-Low Track Sensors option performs the following functions:
• Detect a full track condition in the CF-10's in-line feeder track.
• Detect a near empty condition (a low component count) in the CF-10's in-line feeder track.
• Stops CF-10 operations when the in-line feeder track contains a minimal quantity of radial
components.
The Single Feed Selection option performs the following functions:
• Enables operator to synchronize single component loading and processing.
• Automatically resets CF-10 for next component processing cycle.

INSTALLATION
The High-Low Track Sensors and Single Feed Selection options are factory installed on the CF-10.
PART IDENTIFICATION
Most of the CF-10 option controls are located on
the machine's left cabinet panel. Refer to the
figure at right for an illustrated example of these
controls.
SINGLE FEED SELECTION
CONTROLS
CF-10
When
all
option switches are in the "CF-10"
position, the options are disabled and the
CF-10 operates in its standard manner.
SINGLE FEED
When the single feed selection switch is in
the SINGLE FEED position, the single feed option is selected.
CAUTION:
Improper operation will result.
DO NOT operate the CF-10 with more than one option switch in the option select position.
VIBRATORY BOWL SELECTION CONTROLS
TRACK FULL DELAY
The TRACK FULL DELAY control knob regulates the amount of delay time between the occurrence
of a track full condition and the vibratory bowl being shut off. Increasing the TRACK FULL DELAY
setting increases the delay time between a track full condition and the machine stopping.
FULL TRACK SENSOR
The FULL TRACK sensor is located at the in-line feeder track entrance, while its adjustment control is
found under the EXTERNAL DEVICE SELECTION label (refer to above figure).
When a track full condition occurs, a delay for the amount of time set with the TRACK FULL DELAY
occurs; the vibratory bowl stops; components continue feeding into the CF-10 decreasing the track's
Page 2 GPD Global® 01/18/93
component count to a point below the full track sensor; and then the vibratory bowl resumes
operations.
If the CF-10 is already shut off when the full track condition occurs, the following sequence of events
occur: the CF-10 remains off, the bowl turns off, and then the CF-10 resumes running.

CAUTION:
Improper operation will result.
LOW TRACK SENSOR
The LOW TRACK sensor is located at the end of the in-line feeder track, while its adjustment control
is found under the "External Device Selection" label (refer to above figure). When a minimal quantity
of components are present on the in-line feeder track, the LOW TRACK sensor shuts the CF-10 off.
FINE SPEED CONTROL
The FINE SPEED CONTROL is a part of the CF-10 speed control knob located on the CF-10's front
cabinet control panel. The CF-10 speed control consists of two knobs: a large single-turn, knurled
knob for course speed settings and a small 9-turn knob for fine speed settings. The ratio of fine to
course is 9 to 1.
DO NOT operate CF-10 with more than one option switch in the option select position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
High-Low Track Sensor
To operate the CF-10 with the High-Low Track Sensor option:
1. Setup the CF-10:
a. Install the CF-10 shuttle.
b. Adjust shuttle and track heights.
c. Make course die adjustments.
2. Prepare to feed components to the CF-10:
a. Turn on the CF-10's in-line feeder track.
b. Place components in the optional vibratory bowl.
c. Close the safety shield and press the CF-10's restart button.
d. Make sure the Vibratory Bowl Selection switch is in the BOWL FEED position and the Single
Feed Selection switch is in the CF-10 position.
e. Turn on the vibratory bowl.
f. Let the in-line feeder track fill with components.

3. Adjust the CF-10 to the initial test components:
a. Manually index the first component to the CF-10's first die station.
b. Make fine adjustments to the first die station to attain proper processing height.
c. Repeat the indexing and fine adjustment steps for die stations 2 and 3.
CAUTION:
requires the operator to properly adjust delay times and operating speeds both in relation to each
other and to component dimensions and properties.
4. Automatically feed components into the CF-10 and adjust the optional vibratory bowl:
a. Set the CF-10 to a low speed. Components will feed until they reach the shuttle and then fill the
b. Fine tune the vibratory bowl feed rate to maintain, as close as possible, a near-full track without
c. Close the safety shield and press the CF-10's restart button.
5. To run the last components in a job:
a. Wait until the last few components reach the LOW TRACK sensor.
b. Turn off the vibratory bowl
c. Flip both SINGLE FEED and BOWL FEED switches to their CF-10 position. The last

Single Feed Selection
To operate the CF-10 with the Single Feed Selection option:
1. Setup the CF-10:
a. Install the CF-10 shuttle.
b. Adjust shuttle and track heights.
c. Make course die adjustments.
2. Prepare to feed components to the CF-10:
a. Make sure the Single Feed Selection switch is in the SINGLE FEED position and the Vibratory
Bowl Selection switch is in the CF-10 position.
b. Remove the CF-10's top guide.
c. Close the safety shield and press the CF-10's restart button.
3. Process components:
a. Using proper tooling, insert components into the guide shuttle.
b. Depress the foot switch and do not release until cycle is complete. One component cycle is
activated and component exits normally.
NOTE:

result.
c. Release foot switch. Machine resets for next cycle. Repeat step 3 as often as necessary to
Hold foot switch down until cycle is completed. Machine stops immediately when foot switch
process components.

ADJUSTMENTS
If the TRACK FULL or LOW TRACK sensors for the High-Low Track Sensor option need to be adjusted,
follow the procedure below.
Adjust Fiber Optic Through Beam Sensor
1. Be sure the light source and receiver are physically aligned in
an approximately straight line.
2. In the presence of the object to be detected, turn the trimmer
clockwise
(operation indicator) lights.
3. In the absence of the object, turn the trimmer
counterclockwise
4. Set the trimmer midway between points A and B.
If present, the sensor's green light (stability indicator) should always be illuminated regardless of the red
light's condition.
and find point A of the trimmer at which the red LED
