4.1.10Loading and Unloading Panels

Automatic Panel Conveyance

The machine automatically loads and unloads panels during production. When pro-

duction is started, the machine loads panels to the main conveyor (XY-table) for

assembly. When assembly is complete, the panels are unloaded and conveyed to the

next machine. A carrier loader system is used on CP-842E/842ME to reduce loading

and unloading time. The action of the carrier loader system is shown below.

Loading and Unloading Panels Manually

The operator can unload or load panels using commands at the machine.

Procedure

1 Press [Panel Loader] at the [Main] screen. The [Panel Loader] screen displays.

2 To load a new panel, select [Load Panel] from the “Load/ Unload” section. To

unload a panel from the machine, select [Unload]. After selecting one of these

commands, the START button is enabled.

Note: When the CP-842ME has the optional double panel loading function, two panels can be

loaded at one time by selecting [Load Two Panels].

3 Press START to commence.

Loading/unloading is carried out, and the machine awaits further input when

the operation is finished. To return to the [Main] screen, press [Close].

Clearing All Panels from the Machine (Flush Out)

The [Flush Out] command allows users to unload all panels currently held in the

machine, and prevent new panels from being loaded.

Procedure

1 At the [Main] screen, press [Panel Loader] to display the [Panel Loader] screen.

2 Press [Flush Out] to enable the START button, and press START to start flush

out.

The machine unloads all panels currently on the machine, and awaits input

from the operator when the operation is complete.

4.1.11Changing the Conveyor Width

On machines equipped with an automatic conveyor width changing mechanism, the

conveyor width can be automatically changed in 0.1 mm increments by commands

executed from the machine.

Automatic Conveyor Width Change Function

The automatic conveyor width change function is used to facilitate changeovers. To

use this function, enter the panel width (for the post-changeover production program)

at the [Conveyor Width] screen shown below. The conveyor then automatically moves

to that width.

Note: Be sure to remove the backup pins before performing width changes.

Procedure

1 At the [Main] screen’s “Changeover” area, select the [Conveyor] item to display

the [Conveyor Width Select] screen, then press the [Conveyor Width] button to

display the [Conveyor Width] screen shown below.

Screen Button Explanations

A. [Panel Width]: Specifies the Y-direction size of the production program panel.

B. [Margin]: Specifies the clearance between the conveyor and panel.

C. [Style]: Prepares for a conveyor width change (panel unloading, conveyor rail

linkage, etc.).

D. [Maximum Width]: Adjusts the conveyor to its maximum width minus 1 mm.

E. [Specified Width]: Adjusts the conveyor to the specified width.

F. [Margin Measurement]: Oeasures the margin (clearance between conveyor and

panel).

G. [Close]: Returns to the [Main] screen.
