Welcome to Edge Technologies. My name is Kyle. I’ll be walking you through how to inspect and replace a measurement flag for the Rebel series. We’ll start with our PPE. I’m wearing gloves and safety glasses. For tools, you’ll need a 3mm Allen wrench and a 17 mm open wrench, depending on the severity of your issue. Purpose of the measurement flag sensor is to determine the length of your bar. If it doesn’t get knocked over, the machine will never know how long your bar is and will keep shoving till it hits the back of the lathe. To start, we have to loosened the bolts on the bracket to simulate a bent bracket.

We’re going to do a live check of the sensor. If you knock over the flag and it changes state, you’re probably good. You might just have a bent bracket or loose bolts.

Okay, if your bracket is loose, it’s likely these bolts here. You need a 3 mm Allen key for this portion.

We tighten the bracket. We’re now going to check with the bar to see if it knocks over the flag.

We check the bracket and is in good working order. We are now going to check both the sensor and the sensor cable.

We will check the HMI to make sure the signal is properly be being read by the HMI.

If you’ve lowered and raised the flag a few times, and noticed no state change on your HMI, from this point, you will need your 17 mm open-ended wrench to loosen the nuts.
