Adjust the proximity switch.

High

Verify that the proximity switch is properly adjusted: it must be about 1 mm from the activating position.

For information, see “ Verify the Proximity Sensor Installation”.

Adjust the air pressure.

High

Verify that the machine’s automated movement can move to the endpoint in the allowed time window. Examine the machine’s air pressure. If it’s below 90 psi, adjust it.

For information, see “ Air Requirements”.

Adjust the vise jaws.

Low

Verify that the machine advances the material in the allowed time window. Examine the vise jaws to confirm that they’re properly adjusted, and that they don’t allow the material to drag. If the vise jaws constrict the material, adjust them.
