Well, attempted my first squaring of a shuttle yesterday. It was a lane which would every so often let the 4 through twice and the pin would land just behind the table actuator and go up and down all day long untill retrieved. (Luckly not causing any major damage! you know the problem)
The adjustable spring positions dont really help much to straighten out the shuttle and the bin can be moved so that it sits over the shuttle nicely, but apart from that there's not much of an adjustment.
I didn't like the idea of removing the moon key and then tightening up the bolt to hold the shuttle arm in place, as discussed in previous topics, so I decided on a different approach.
I took off the brackets at the front of the shuttle arms and drilled out the holes so they were larger. This now I made the shuttle have an adjustable movement so that I could gain the shuttle to sit parallel with the bin! Once in the correct position it was a simple matter of tighening up the brackets at the front of the shuttle, and also the ones at the rear.
The spring can now be placed on the centre hole position, and the shuttle sits straight to the bin.
What do you think??
Cheers,
PS. I like running the shuttle at an inch height from the bin, in some cases lower. This is outside the specs, but it can help stop pesky double shuttling problems.
