AIR LOGIC POWER SYSTEMS (ALPS) GENERAL INFORMATION
SPEEDGLIDER ADVANCED OPERATOR MANUAL 4 TM 2012-005 REV00 © 10/25/2012
General Information
The SpeedGlider linear machine is designed for medium to high speed production lines requiring leak inspection. The
SpeedGlider is built to accommodate the customers’ conveyor equipment. Molded containers are captured and fed
into the test area by a timing screw located adjacent to the line conveyor. The timing screw, conveyer and test probes
are synchronized so that a smooth transition occurs from test cycle to test cycle. After the test is complete good
containers pass on, and defective containers are ejected off of the conveyor line.
A single electrical cabinet is installed on the backside of the machine containing the AC power circuits (variable
frequency drive, DC power supplies, power contactors, and main disconnect.
