# M5 Single Axis Tilting Traverse

# M5 Single Axis Tilting Traverse

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AJRM5 Single Axis Tilting Traverse Unit is designed for use with all

flame spray guns and equipment. It is capable of providing control of speed

and length of stroke along a single axis. The direction of that axis can be

adjusted to horizontal, vertical, or points between. The control panel

provides for convenient control of all parameters.

Performance Capabilities

The unit is capable of satisfying the needs of an extensive range of

applications. Two programs are included:

LL 3 --------------- 2 --------------- 1 RL

left limit spray rapid right limit

LL 3 ======== 2 --------------- 1 RL

Standard Programs

Program A: For standard cylindrical work.

Move from right limit to 1 and stop

Operator activates RUN button

Move from 1 to 2 at rapid speed

Move from 2 to 3 and back to 2 at spray speed

Repeat above step until counter is satisfied

When counter is satisfied, return to 1 and stop.

Program B: For spraying blind bores.

Move from right limit to 1 and stop

Operator activates RUN button

Move from 1 to 2 at rapid speed

Move from 2 to 3 at rapid speed

Move from 3 to 2 at spray speed

Repeat above 2 steps until counter is satisfied

When counter is satisfied, return to 1 and stop.

Maximum traverse speed: 50” per minute

Alternate traverse speeds available upon request

Maximum gun weight: 40 pounds

REQUIRED FACILITIES

The AJRM5 Tilting Traverse Unit operates on 110 Volt, 60Hz. electrical

power provided through the plug on the electronic control panel. The outlet

used must be fused to a minimum of 15 amps and should be on a circuit free

of electrical interference.

INSTALLATION

The control panel will be connected to the traverse unit with a heavy duty

cable approximately 15 feet in length. The control panel should be mounted

on a wall or the side of the spray booth close enough to the spray area to

allow full required movement of the traverse unit. The control panel will

also have to be plugged into a 110 Volt outlet. The electrical cord is

approximately 9 feet.

With the power switched off at the control panel, attach the free end of the

heavy duty cable to the amphenol connector on the traverse unit. The unit is

ready to operate.

OPERATION

Program A:

#1, #2, and #3 are movable limit switches

LL #3 --------------- #2 --------------- #1 RL

left limit spray rapid right limit

Move from right limit to 1 and stop

Operator activates START button

Move from 1 to 2 at rapid speed

Move from 2 to 3 and back to 2 at spray speed

Repeat above step until counter is satisfied

When counter is satisfied, return to 1 and stop.

The above program is designed to spray standard cylindrical work. Use the

following steps:

Set #3 limit switch to farthest spray position.

Set #2 limit switch to nearest spray position.

Set #1 limit switch to desired home position.

Turn power switch on.

Press on button.

Press and hold suitable jog button to move spray gun first to near the

right limit and then to the farthest spray position. Use the Jog Speed

Control Knob to increase or decrease speed.

Fine tune the position of the #3 limit by aligning the black knob with

the upright post

Press and hold the reverse jog button to move spray gun to the right

most spray position. Fine tune the position of the #2 limit.

Press and hold the reverse jog button to move spray gun to the desired

home position. Fine tune the position of the #1 limit.

Reset the pass counter to “0” by pressing the black button at the left of

the top set of numbers.

Reset the set point to “0,0,0” by holding down the white lever at the

left of the lower set of numbers and pressing the black buttons under

the numbers until returning to “0”.

Run the program through one cycle to check for clear operation and to

set spray and rapid speeds. Press and hold the Start Button for 1 to 2

seconds. This will start the unit to run one pass.

Set the rapid speed using the Rapid Speed Control Knob while the

traverse is operating between switches #1 and #2.

Set the spray speed using the Spray Speed Control Knob while the

traverse is operating between switches #2 and #3.

The traverse will stop when it returns to the home position. Adjust the

set point to the desired number of passes. Reset the counter.

Press and hold the start button for 1 to 2 seconds. The traverse unit

will complete the set number of passes and return to the home

position.

At any time during execution of the program, you can press the

Abort/Home Button. This will allow the traverse to complete the

current pass and then return to the home position.

At any time during execution of the program, you can press the Red

Emergency Stop Mushroom Button. This will stop the traverse

immediately. To restart, you must press the On Button and then the

Start Button. The program will restart where it was interrupted.

Program B:

#1, #2, and #3 are movable limit switches.

LL #3 ======== #2 --------------- #1 RL

left limit spray rapid right limit

Move from right limit to 1 and stop

Operator activates RUN button

Move from 1 to 2 at rapid speed

Move from 2 to 3 at rapid speed

Move from 3 to 2 at spray speed

Repeat above 2 steps until counter is satisfied

When counter is satisfied, return to 1 and stop.

The above program is designed to spray blind bores or for other applications

where separate speed control is required over each spray direction. Use the

same procedures as above but with the program selector on “B”.
