Inspect the follower

WHAT YOU NEED

Standard Personal Protective Equipment

Inspection

Press the E‑stop button on the operator console.
Perform the following checks:
- Make sure the follower carriage is secure by hand (rock the follower side to side and up and down).
- Make sure the follower has no apparent loose components (e.g. paddle, sensor bracket, etc.).
- Inspect the follower timing belt for any signs of damage (e.g. fraying, nicks or cuts).
- Inspect the follower drag chain, cables and pneumatic hoses for any damage, leaks, nicks or cuts.
- Inspect the follower home sensor for any signs of damage.
- Inspect the follower end stops for any signs of damage or bent brackets.
Release the E‑stop button on the operator console.
Power the machine back on by pressing the green CONTROL button on the operator console.
On the sensor array, make sure the green power LED of each sensor is on and their orange sensing LED turns on when moving a piece of timber in front of them.

Note: contact Vekta Automation if any of the checks do not look or feel correct.

Testing

Make sure the follower rehomes correctly.
Make sure the follower slows down before contacting the timber while cutting.
