Remove the shipping slides from under each foot pad of the Carrier frame. 2. Set the frame in position, using the dimensions from the "Clamp Carrier Specification Sheet". For safety, be sure to either protect the rear of the Carrier with a suitable guard or place the rear of the Carrier near a wall. Note: For proper clearance, the distance from the center of the main shaft of the Carrier to the wall behind the Carrier should be at least 50" for 32" Clamps (54" for 36" Clamps, 58" for 40" Clamps, etc.). 3. Level the machine, adding shims under the legs as necessary. 4. Lag the legs to the floor. This is very important! 5. Secure the two front rest positioning plates to the front legs of the Carrier frame with U-bolts. 6. Secure the two front rest rods to the front legs of the Carrier. 7. Install the front rest. 10/7/97 jdg D80-8.2 Air Motor Drive Installation Mounting the Air Motor Drive on the Front Shaft: The package of mounting parts for the Air Motor Drive is attached to the Air Motor Drive. 1. Slide the large (painted) spacer onto the right end of the front shaft. 2. Slide the Air Motor Drive onto the right end of the front shaft until the Drive contacts the large spacer. The plate at the bottom of the Air Motor Drive should enter between the two uprights of the front leg. Large Spacer Spacer Key Bolt Air Motor Drive Lock Washer Plugs Disc Flat Washers (May or may not be needed) Reaction Plate 3. Rotate the front shaft to align the keyway in the shaft with the keyway in the Air Motor Drive. 4. Insert the longest key possible. 5. Several 1/2" spacers have been supplied, each of different length. You will use only one of them. Select the spacer that will project slightly beyond the right end of Air Motor Drive's hollow shaft as the other end of the spacer contacts the front shaft. Use flat washers if necessary. 6. Secure the Air Motor Drive with the disc, 1/2" lockwasher, and 1/2" hex head bolt. 7. There are four plugs shown on the diagram above, two black and two white. Remove the two black plugs from the Air Motor Drive and replace them with plastic vented plugs (supplied). This will minimize pressure buildup in the Air Motor Drive. 9/12/97 jdg D80-41.4 Air Motor Drive Hoses Installation Hooking Up the Air Motor Drive Hoses: 1. Mount the air filter/lubricator/regulator assembly on the right front leg of the Clamp Carrier. 2. Connect the air supply line. It must be 3/4" pipe or larger. 3. Position the foot valve assembly to the right side of the front rest in a position such that the operator can easily operate the front rest but is not likely to get pinched between the clamps and the front rest. Fasten it to the floor. 4. Attach the 1/2" hose from the filter/lubricator/ regulator assembly to the center fitting on the foot valve assembly. Note: The ends of the Air Motor Drive hoses are color coded for easy identification. 5. Attach the 1/2" hose with the large muffler to the rear fitting of the air motor. 6. Attach the 1/2" hose with the small muffler to the front fitting of the air motor. Adjusting the Air Motor Drive: 1. Fill the lubricator bowl with SAE #10 nondetergent oil. 2. Turn the air on. Adjust the regulator to 75 psi. 3. Depress the right foot pedal briefly. This should rotate the clamps upward. If the clamps rotate downward, reverse the two hoses on the air motor. 4. Swing the front rest outward. Depress the left foot valve. This should rotate the clamps downward. As the clamps approach the front rest, swing the front rest back to its upright position. 5. Adjust the forward rotation speed with the gate valve on the air motor (below the large muffler) as desired. 6. Adjust the lubricator such that five drops of oil drip (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 2 seconds of air motor operation. The Clamp Carrier should use approximately 1/3 of a bowl of oil per week. 12/6/95 GDF Gate Valve D80-42.3 Front Rest Installation Note: 6-section Clamp Carrier shown in photo. Left Side Right Side Front Rest Front Rest Rod Positioning Plate Front Rest Installation: 1. Secure the two front rest positioning plates to the front legs of the Carrier frame with the U-bolts supplied. 2. Each of the spring loaded front rest rods has 4 nuts on one end. Remove 2 nuts from each rod, insert the rods into the brackets halfway up the front legs, and replace the two nuts. 3. Attach the base of the front rest to the two positioning plates. Secure with 1/8 x 1-1/2 cotter pins. 4. Swing the front rest up and attach the slotted ends of the front rest rods to the front rest. 5. Lag the positioning plates to the floor. 6. Adjust the front rest rods. The front rest should be vertical when the ends of the clamps just overlap the top rail of the front rest. Be sure that the clamp handles rotate without hitting the front rest. Adjust the front rest rods by running the nuts up close to the tabs on the legs, allowing a 1/2" gap betwen each pair of nuts to allow the front rest to pivot freely. Lock the nuts together to secure them in the proper position. 4/10/89 KRQ D80-45.1 2-handed Panel Flattener Installing the Panel Flattener Beam: Installation Beam 1. The Panel Flattener uprights and braces have been "A" attached to the Panel Flattener beam for shipping. Remove the uprights from the beam. The braces will be found inside Brace the uprights. Slide the braces out of the uprights. 2. Lay the beam on the floor, in front of the Clamp Carrier, with the large "The Taylor" emblem facing down. The top of the Upright emblem should be facing away from the Carrier. 3. Slide the tabs for the two 13-1/2" long Bracket brackets into the ends of the beam. Brace Attach the brackets, the single-hole ends Mount of the braces, and the uprights to the beam with 1/2" x 4-1/2" hex cap screws. 4. Attach the free ends of the uprights to the front rest positioning plates with 1/2" x 3-1/2" hex cap screws. 5. Attach the brace mounts (angles) to the side runways (or front legs for 6-section Carrier) with 1/2" x 1" hex cap screws. 6. Swing the beam upward and attach the free ends of the braces to the brace mounts with 1/2" x 1 1/4" hex head cap screws. Be sure that the distance "A" is correct: Nominal Clamp Opening: Distance "A": 32" 70" 36" 72" 40" 78" 44" 77" 48" 76" Mounting the Panel Flattener on the Beam: 1. Remove the two rear wheels (opposite side from the tee handle) from the Panel Flattener cylinder/ carriage assembly. Lift the Flattener onto the beam, hooking the two safety hooks over the top of the beam. Replace the wheels. 2. Remove the wooden stick that is tied to the Panel Flattener (for shipping). 3. A 1/8" steel cable will be stretched between the two 13-1/2" long brackets on the beam to support the Panel Flattener hose. Remove the two nuts, washer and compression spring from one end of the cable. Feed the cable through both brackets. Replace the washer, spring and nuts. Tighten the nuts until the spring is almost completely compressed. The cable should be taut. Lock the two nuts together securely at both ends of the cable. 3/12/90 KRQ (1 of 3) D80-52.1 2-handed Panel Flattener Installation Hooking up the Panel Flattener Hoses: 1. Using a 1/4" street elbow, attach the Panel Flattener regulator to the back side of the 1/4" x 1/8" fitting on the right end of the Panel Flattener beam. Connect one end of a 1/4" hose to the inlet of the Panel Flattener regulator. 2. Attach the air filter/lubricator to the lower cross member on the right front leg of the Clamp Carrier. Connect the free end of the hose from the Flattener regulator to the outlet of the lubricator. Connect shop air to the inlet of the air filter/lubricator. 3. Locate the length of 1/4" hose that has clips attached for clipping to the hose support cable. Attach the hose to the 1/8" fitting on the Panel Flattener carriage. 4. Slide the Panel Flattener to the far left end of the beam. 5. The hose from the Panel Flattener fitting on the carriage will supply air to the Panel Flattener. Starting at the attached end of the hose, clip the clips onto the Panel Flattener hose support cable. When the right end of the beam is reached, attach the hose to the front of the 1/8" fitting at the end of the beam. Note for installing two Panel Flatteners: When installing a second Panel Flattener, attach a long 1/4" hose to a tee at the outlet of the Panel Flattener regulator. Feed the free end of this hose through the lower pipe on the beam and connect it to the back side of the 1/4" x 1/8" fitting at the left end of the beam. Slide the Panel Flatteners to the far right end of the beam. Attach a 1/4" hose that has clips attached for clipping to the hose support cable to the 1/8" fitting on the left Panel Flattener carriage. Starting at the attached end of the hose, clip the clips onto the Panel Flattener hose support cable. When the left end of the beam is reached, attach the hose to the front of the 1/8" fitting at the end of the beam. Testing the Panel Flattener: 1. Fill the lubricator bowl on the air filter/lubricator assembly (on the Clamp Carrier leg) with SAE #10 non-detergent oil. 2. Turn on the air. Adjust the Panel Flattener air regulator to 10 psi. 3. Squeeze the safety valve lever on the Flattener piston rod and press down the tee handle. The Panel Flattener cylinder should extend downward. Release the lever and tee handle. The Flattener should stay down until the tee handle is pulled upward. 4. Make sure that the Panel Flattener cylinder will not extend unless the safety valve lever is squeezed. If it will, check the safety air circuit. 5. Check the maximum stroke of the Panel Flattener cylinder. You should be able to flatten 1/2" thick stock. If not, recheck the "A" dimension described at the beginning of the Panel Flattener Installation section. 3/12/90 KRQ (2 of 3) D80-52.1 2-handed Panel Flattener Installation Adjusting the Panel Flattener: 1. Set the Panel Flattener air pressure as desired, from 10 psi to 90 psi. 2. The Panel Flattener is spring loaded, so that the Flattener cylinder does not hang straight down, but rather at a slight angle toward the Clamp Carrier. This angle can be adjusted, if desired, with two screws that are located inside the two 1/2" x 9" pipes on the Panel Flattener carriage. A special wrench (a bent 1/4" bolt) has been supplied for making this adjustment. 3/12/90 KRQ (3 of 3) D80-52.1 Clamps Installation Installing the Clamps: 1. Mount a clamp to the I-Beam sections using two stampings, a 1/4" x 3-13/16" spacer, a 1/4" x 5" hex cap screw, and a 1/4" elastic stop nut as shown below: 2. Tighten the screw and nut firmly. The clamp will still move in and out 3/16" when pushed or pulled; this is an intentional "floating" feature of the Taylor clamp. Beveled corners "up" Beveled corners "up" 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above for each clamp, installing the desired number of clamps on each section. 4. To maintain clamp carrier balance, place clamps on the front and back of the clamp carrier simultaneously. 10/29/92 GDF D80-9.2 Operation D80-16.1 Clamp Carrier with Air Motor Drive Operation Coating the Clamps: A 16-oz. spray bottle is supplied with your machine for coating the clamps with Bates Boothcoating. Pour the Boothcoating directly from the 1-quart can into the spray bottle and adjust the nozzle. Spray a light mist of Boothcoating over all areas that will come in contact with the glue. You may also want to spray some on the horizonatal I-Beams to make sliding the clamps from side to side easier. Additional quantities of Boothcoating can be purchased from: U.C. Chemical Corp. P.O. Box 1066 2250 Fillmore Avenue Buffalo, NY 14215 Phone: 716-833-9366; ask for George Fergusen See the brochure at the back of this manual for further details. Setting up the clamps: 1. Clamps should be spaced no more than 18" apart. 2. For laminating or face gluing, be sure to use Rocker Plates to insure even pressure across the face of the stock. Loading the Clamp Carrier: The Clamp Carrier should be kept relatively balanced at all times . When first loading an empty machine with heavy stock it may be necessary to first load one section of clamps, then rotate the machine one-half turn (180 degrees) and load the second section. Continue rotating the Carrier by one-half turns while loading the remaining sections. The same method may also be used in unloading. 7/26/88 KRQ D80-60.1 Clamp Carrier with Manual Operation Package Operation Coating the Clamps: A 16-oz. spray bottle is supplied with your machine for coating the clamps with Bates Boothcoating. Pour the Boothcoating directly from the 1-quart can into the spray bottle and adjust the nozzle. Spray a light mist of Boothcoating over all areas that will come in contact with the glue. You may also want to spray some on the horizontal tee bars to make sliding the clamps from side to side easier. Additional quantities of Boothcoating can be purchased from: U.C. Chemical Corp. P.O.

Continue rotating the Carrier by one-half turns while loading the remaining sections. The same method may also be used in unloading. Operating the Clamp Carrier: 1. Load stock into the clamps on one section (row of clamps) of the Clamp Carrier and tighten the clamps by hand. 2. Rotate the Clamp Carrier backwards and swing the front rest outward. Rotate the Carrier forward and move the front rest back to its upright position. This may take a little practice, as you'll want the machine to rotate far enough that all of the clamps make good contact with the front rest, but not so far that the clamps are pinned too tightly against the front rest to be slid easily from side to side. 3. Loosen the clamps and remove the glued panels. 12/27/00 VJL D80-265.1 2-handed Panel-Flattener Operation Operating the Panel Flattener: 1. Load stock into the clamps on one section (row of clamps) of the Clamp Carrier. 2. Start at the left side of the Clamp Carrier. Using the tee handle, slide the Panel Flattener along the beam until it is located between the first two clamps to be tightened. Push and pull the tee handle to center the Flattener shoe on the panel. Twist the handle left and right to dodge the jaws of the clamps if necessary. 3. Squeeze the safety valve lever on the Flattener piston rod and press down the tee handle. The Panel Flattener cylinder should extend downward. Release the lever and tee handle. The Flattener should stay down until the tee handle is pulled upward. 4. Tighten the clamp that is to the left of the Flattener (or both clamps if there are only two clamps on the panel). Release the Panel Flattener by pulling upward on the tee handle. 5. Position the Panel Flattener between the next pair of clamps to be tightened. 6. Tighten the clamp that is to the left of the Flattener. If the Flattener is between the two last clamps on the panel, tighten both clamps. 7. Repeat the above steps for the remaining clamps on this section. 8. Slide the Panel Flattener to one side so it will clear the clamps when the Clamp Carrier is rotated. 9. Pull out the Clamp Carrier's front rest, rotate the Carrier to the next section, returning the front rest to its upright position at the appropriate time. Safety: 1. You should use no more than one Clamp Carrier operator per Panel Flattener. The Panel Flattener produces up to 750 pounds of force; more than enough to injure a man's hand. 2. Each operator must use both hands to operate the Panel Flattener. 3. Make sure that the Panel Flattener cylinder will not extend unless the safety valve lever is squeezed. If it will, check the safety air circuit. Do not use the Panel Flattener until proper repairs have been made. 7/26/88 KRQ D80-59.1 Maintenance D80-17.1 Safety Sheet ! WARNING Lockout ALL energy sources before servicing. JAMES L. MANUFACTURING COMPANY 1/22/01 VJL D80-191.2 6-section Clamp Carrier Maintenance Weekly: 1. Clean the clamps with a plastic scraper. 2. Apply Bates Boothcoating to the clamps: A 16-oz. spray bottle is supplied with your machine for coating the clamps with Bates Boothcoating. Pour the Boothcoating directly from the 1-quart can into the spray bottle and adjust the nozzle. Spray a light mist of Boothcoating over all areas that will come in contact with the glue. You may also want to spray some on the horizonatal tee bars to make sliding the clamps from side to side easier. Additional quantities of Boothcoating can be purchased from: U.C. Chemical Corp. P.O. Box 1066 2250 Fillmore Avenue Buffalo, NY 14215 Phone: 716-833-9366; ask for George Ferguson See the brochure at the back of this manual for further details. 3. Oil the screw and thrust washer on each clamp. 4. Make sure that there is no foreign material underneath the Clamp Carrier. When the Clamp Carrier rotates, the clamps may catch on this foreign material and bend the Tee bars (the bars that the clamps are mounted on). Monthly: 1. Oil the shaft on the Anti-Backup Latch assembly. 5/20/88 KRQ D80-33.1 Air Motor Drive Maintenance Weekly: 1. Discharge the accumulated water from the air filter bowl on the air filter/lubricator/regulator assembly with the release valve at the bottom of the bowl. 2. Fill the lubricator bowl with SAE #10 non-detergent oil. 3. Adjust the lubricator, if necessary, such that five drops of oil drip (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 2 seconds of air motor operation. The Clamp Carrier should use approximately 1/3 of a bowl of oil per week. Monthly: 1. Inspect the gear box oil level via the sight glass on the gear box. The oil level should be midway up the sight glass window. Add 90 weight extreme pressure lubricant if necessary (see page D8066.1 in the "Parts List" section of this manual for recommended lubricants). 12/6/95 GDF D80-43.2 2-handed Panel Flattener Maintenance Weekly: 1. Discharge the accumulated water from the air filter bowl on the air filter/lubricator/regulator assembly with the release valve at the bottom of the bowl. 2. Fill the lubricator bowl with SAE #10 non-detergent oil. 3. Adjust the lubricator, if necessary, such that one drop of oil drips (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 3 strokes of the Panel Flattener. 6/13/88 KRQ D80-49.1 Troubleshooting D80-18.1 Edge Gluing Troubleshooting Stock is buckling, popping out of the clamps: 1. Clamps may be too tight. 2. Glue spread may be too heavy. 3. The stock may not be prepared properly. The glue joints must be cut square. Stock is sliding: 1. Glue spread may be too heavy. Panels are falling apart or “checking”: 1. Check stock preparation for: a. Squareness and straightness of glue joints. Adjust rip saws if necessary. b. Glazed (hard, shiny) joints caused by dull saw blades. c. Proper moisture content. The moisture content of the stock should be uniform from board to board and should be from 6% to 8%. 2. Check glue for: a. Proper type of glue (PVA or aliphatic resin recommended). b. Amount of water added. PVA glue breaks down as over 5% water is added by weight. c. Chalking. PVA glues will chalk if the glue or the lumber is too cold. 3. Check that the glue is not "pre-curing," drying before the boards are clamped. A thicker glue spread will often decrease pre-cure. 4. Check that there is sufficient clamp pressure. All joints should pulled up tight, showing some sqeezed out glue. If the clamp pressure appears to be low, check clamps for lack of lubrication. Oil the screws and thrust washers if necessary. 5. Be sure to rip the stock to width and glue it the same day that it is cut to length. Lumber absorbs and loses moisture primarily through its ends. You may have noticed that the ends of long boards are often dry and cracked while the center sections of the boards may not yet be fully dry. When wet boards are cut to length, the resulting boards immediately begin losing moisture through their (new) ends, and the ends begin to shrink. The longer the wait before ripping, the more the ends shrink. Then when the boards are ripped, more stock is removed from the middles of the boards than from the ends. After gluing, as the middles of these boards finally lose moisture and shrink, open joints may appear at the middles of the glued panels. On the other hand, when dry boards are cut to length, the resulting boards immediately begin absorbing moisture through their (new) ends, and the ends begin to swell. The longer the wait before ripping, the more the ends swell. Then when the boards are ripped, more stock is removed from the ends of the boards than from the middles. After gluing, as the middles of these boards finally absorb moisture and expand, open joints or "checks" may appear at the ends of the glued panels. To avoid these problems, be sure to rip the stock to width and glue it the same day that it is cut to length, before the ends of the stock have had a chance to lose or absorb moisture. 2/9/93 GDF (1 of 2) D80-34.1 Edge Gluing Troubleshooting 6. Check the relative humidity of your glueroom. If your glueroom is too humid, the ends of the stock will absorb moisture before, during and after gluing, causing them to swell. This may cause open joints at the center of the glued panels. If your glueroom is too dry, the ends of the stock will lose moisture, causing them to shrink. This may cause open joints at the ends of the glued panels, or “end checks.” There is a direct relationship between the relative humidity of your glueroom and the Equilibrium Moisture Content of the stock (the moisture content that the stock will gravitate toward). A rise in the glueroom's humidity will mean a corresponding rise in the stock's EMC. Therefore, as can be seen from the graph below, if the stock has been properly dried to between 6% and 8%, then to insure that the stock will not be absorbing or losing moisture before, during and after gluing, you should keep the relative humidity of your glueroom between 30% and 42% : 20 Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) of Stock (%) Proper moisture content of stock, between 6% and 8%. 15 10 Proper relative humidity of glueroom, between 30% and 42%. 5 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 Relative Humidity of Glueroom (%) Glue Joints are “Sunken”: 1. Panels that are surfaced too soon after gluing may have sunken glue joints. It's best to wait 24 hours after gluing before surfacing. Panels are Bowed: 1. The spacer between the two clamp mounting stampings may be missing on some clamps. These clamps then will not be able to "float" in and out to automatically center themselves on the panels. 2. On 8' long panels or longer, a special clamp tightening sequence should be used. First tighten the clamps on the quarters (1/4 of the way in from each end of the panel), then the center clamp(s), then the end clamps, and finally all remaining clamps. Panels are Barrel or Hour Glass Shaped: 1. Check the individual boards for barrel or hour glass shapes; adjust the rip saws as needed. 2/9/93 GDF (2 of 2) D80-34.1 2-handed Panel Flattener Troubleshooting Panel Flattener Will Not Extend: 1. Check the air supply. You must have at least a 3/4" pipe air supply, at 75 psi. 2. Check that the Panel Flattener's safety interlock (pilot air) circuit is operating properly. If not, make repairs as needed. 3. The lubricator should be using oil. If not, adjust the lubricator such that one drop of oil drips (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 3 strokes of the Panel Flattener. 4. If the Panel Flattener has been operated for awhile without oil, the leather cup in the Flattener's air cylinder may be dried out and leaking. New leather cups are available from Taylor. 6/13/88 KRQ D80-54.1 Air Motor Drive Troubleshooting Clamp Carrier rotates with difficulty: 1. Check the air supply. You must have at least a 3/4" pipe air supply (1" pipe for an Automated Clamp Carrier), at 75 psi. Check that the Air Motor Drive regulator is set for 75 psi. 2. Check that the gate valve on the Air Motor Drive exhaust is adjusted properly (see the Installation section of this manual). 3. The Clamp Carrier lubricator should be using approximately 1/3 of a bowl of oil per week. If not, adjust the lubricator such that five drops of oil drip (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 2 seconds of air motor operation. If the air motor has been run for awhile without oil, the motor may be siezing. If this is the case, you will probably need to rebuild your air motor. Rebuild kits are available from Taylor. 4. Inspect the gear box oil level via the sight glass on the gear box. The oil level should be midway up the sight glass window. Add 90 weight extreme pressure lubricant if necessary. 5. Remove the Air Motor Drive from the Clamp Carrier frame. If the Carrier does not rotate freely by hand, see the "Clamp Carrier Frame Troubleshooting" section of this manual. 12/6/95 GDF D80-44.2 Panel Flattener Air System Schematic 10/16/89 KRQ D80-112.1 Parts List D80-19.1 Clamp Carrier Frame- Parts List 2 4 28 27 5 6 1 26 12 12 7 8 10 8 10 13 11 11 9 15 9 3 9 14 22 17 16 21 18 20 23 19 25 Every Other Center Link 24 Clamp Carrier Frame - Parts List Scale: 1/4 Material: James L.
