Title: VEND MOTOR & CAM POSITION
Post by: FOWL1 on May 18, 2020, 11:43:46 am
HI, I'M NEW TO THE FORUM.  i'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE PROPER POSITION OF THE VEND MOTOR ON MY MACHINE.  IT IS A SQUARE TYPE AND HAS A SINGLE VEND MOTOR.  IT LOOKS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO TERMITE'S DR PEPPER MACHINE IN THESE 2 POSTS.  MINE IS A PEPSI MACHINE AND VENDS CANS, BUT MAY HAVE AT ONE TIME DID BOTTLES BECAUSE IT HAS A BOTTLE OPENER ON IT & SAYS "NOW SERVED IN CANS" ON IT.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE SMALL GEAR IN THE GEAR BOX AND HAVE DONE THAT.  i CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE TIMING RIGHT ON THE DROP.   DOES ANY BODY KNOW HOW THE GEARS, CAMS & DROP MECHANISM IS SUPPOSED TO BE SET TO DROP 1 CAN AT A TIME?  i GOT IT TO DROP 3 AT A TIME OR NONE.    

I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THE MACHINE WAS VENDING FINE PRIOR TO PULLING THE VEND MOTOR AND INSTALLING THE NEW GEAR.  i REPLACED THE GEAR BUT DIDN'T MARK THE POSITION OF THE DROP BARS OR MOTOR WHEN I TOOK IT OUT.  IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A TIMING MARK ON THE DROP CAM, BUT i DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO POINT TO AND THE CAM THAT THE MICRO SWITCH RUNS ON MIGHT NOT BE IN THE RIGHT POSITION.  THANKS.
