INTRODUCTION

This document is intended for use by setup and operator personnel and accompanies the GPD CF-10
when equipped with a combination of the following options:

vibratory bowl (or other external device) in relation to these track conditions.

• A full track condition is detected;

• a delay for the amount of time set with the TRACK FULL DELAY occurs;

• the vibratory bowl (or other external device) stops;

• components continue feeding into the CF-10 decreasing the track's component count to a point below
the full track sensor;

• and the vibratory bowl (or other external device) resumes operations.

switch to control the CF-10. The operator is in control of synchronizing component loading with
component processing. The machine cycles once for every depression of the foot switch and stops in the
correct position to wait for the next component to be loaded. The CF-10 automatically resets each time
the operator releases the foot switch.

theory of operation is as follows:

is detected, the High-Low Track option turns the CF-10 off with the dies and

- enables operator to hand feed components while using the foot

- detects both "full" and "near

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•

CAUTION:

requires the operator to properly adjust delay times and operating speeds both in relation to each
other and to component dimensions and properties.

•

CAUTION:

Improper operation will result.

•

CAUTION:

damage to the equipment.

To achieve optimum production while avoiding possible damage to the equipment

DO NOT operate the CF-10 with more than one option switch in the option select position.

GPD suggests an operator be present during machine operations to avoid possible

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
