# Station 9 – Pick & Place Setup & Adjustment

Set the Station 9 Pick & Place height and outfeed tooling for the selected pre-roll format, then verify smooth transfer and daily rod cleanliness.

## Training Video

Watch the complete Station 9 setup and adjustment procedure before following the detailed steps below.

## Overview

Station 9 is the Pick & Place station responsible for removing finished pre-rolls from the machine.

Compared with the previous stations, Station 9 requires relatively few adjustments.

**Main setup points:**

1. Pick & Place vertical position
2. Adjustment for 0.5 g and 1 g pre-rolls
3. Correct outfeed funnel for each format
4. Daily cleaning of the Pick & Place rods

     STEP 1

## Understand the Main Station 9 Adjustment

The primary mechanical adjustment at Station 9 is the **vertical position of the Pick & Place assembly**.

This adjustment changes the working height of the mechanism according to the pre-roll format being produced.

Unlike stations with multiple mechanical setup points, Station 9 mainly requires the correct height and outfeed tooling for the selected format.

    STEP 2

## Adjust for 0.5 g Pre-Rolls

When running 0.5 g pre-rolls, the Pick & Place assembly needs to operate from a lower position.

Lower the vertical adjustment until the mechanism reaches the appropriate working position for the shorter pre-roll.

Make the adjustment gradually and check the movement of the Pick & Place mechanism before running production.

    STEP 3

## Adjust for 1 g Pre-Rolls

When running 1 g pre-rolls, raise the Pick & Place assembly.

The video instructs the operator to bring the adjustment **all the way up** for the 1 g configuration, then ensure the mechanism operates smoothly in that position.

  **After adjustment:** Manually check the station movement and make sure the mechanism operates without binding or interference.     STEP 4

## Use the Correct Outfeed Funnel

The outfeed funnel must also match the pre-roll format.

**0.5 g:** Use the shorter outfeed funnel.

**1 g:** Use the taller outfeed funnel.

This tooling change is important during a format changeover and should be verified at the same time as the Station 9 height adjustment.

    STEP 5

## Understand the Purpose of the Taller Funnel

The taller outfeed funnel used with the 1 g format provides additional support for the longer pre-roll.

This helps prevent the pre-roll from **tilting to the side** as it moves through the outfeed area.

Using the correct funnel therefore helps maintain the orientation and stability of the finished pre-roll during removal.

    STEP 6

## Verify the Station After a Changeover

Whenever changing between **0.5 g and 1 g**, check both Station 9 setup points together:

 Pick & Place Height → Outfeed Funnel

For a **0.5 g setup**, verify that the Pick & Place assembly is in the lower working position and that the shorter outfeed funnel is installed.

For a **1 g setup**, verify that the Pick & Place assembly is raised and that the taller outfeed funnel is installed.

  **Test:** Run a controlled cycle and observe how the finished pre-roll is removed and transferred through the outfeed.     STEP 7

## Clean the Pick & Place Rods Daily

The final maintenance point shown in the video is the cleaning of the Pick & Place rods.

The technician recommends keeping these rods clean **after every day of production**.

  **Daily maintenance:** Include the rods in the machine's normal end-of-day cleaning routine to prevent product residue and buildup from affecting their movement.

## Final Verification

After setting up or changing over Station 9, verify that:

- The Pick & Place height matches the pre-roll format.
- The mechanism moves smoothly through its working range.
- The shorter outfeed funnel is used for the 0.5 g configuration.
- The taller outfeed funnel is used for the 1 g configuration.
- The 1 g pre-roll remains supported and does not tilt excessively during outfeed.
- The finished pre-roll is removed cleanly from the machine.
- The Pick & Place rods are clean.

  **Target result:** Run several finished pre-rolls through Station 9 and observe the complete removal process. The goal is to achieve a smooth and reliable transfer of finished pre-rolls while using the correct station height and outfeed funnel for the selected format.
