That's what we do with our MSHII's...setup one carriage offline while the other one runs. We also have setup carts to load the feeders ahead of time and haul them out to the lines. Of course, when we exceed the carriage capacity of 75 slots for an

This number is going to vary hugely depending on the machine, how you operate and how many feeders you have. Smaller outfits might have a single operative whose job it is to setup, load, run & program the line. Regardless of how changeover focused t

Hi mike The solution is simple but two fold, first your process needs to be changed a bit, you need additional feeders to pre-stage the new P/N run and prestage the extra feeders for reload as certain higher volume components exhaust. The idea is t

Hello EC, We already done your suggestion but still no effect. Feeders already calibrated. Do have additional inputs for this? Also is the barcode eliminate 100% wrong value component? regards,
