Machine: CrystalPress-II
P/N: 111063 R0
Install the Sorter Wheel(s) into the
Sorter Bowl(s) then power on the
CrystalPress. Wait for the start-up
process to nish. The LED on the
keypad will turn Green.
IMPORTANT: Only perform these steps if directed by
Ioline Customer Service. Alignment is usually required if:
• Sorter Bowl is replaced
• Carriage is replaced
• Carriage Transmission is replaced
• Frequently dropped stones
• Stones frequently placed in sheet margin
• C-Stick will not pick up a stone
• Sorter Wheel is not lined up with the C-Stick
• Sorter Wheel continuously resets
• Frequent error lights on the machine
Green LED
This process requires the smallest
Sorter Wheel you have (6ss wheel
is preferred). NOTE: check that you
can see light through all the small
holes in the pockets of the wheel
before proceeding. Clear any block-
age with a paperclip.
HINT: If you only have one small
wheel, perform these steps one
bowl at a time and re-use the wheel
in the other bowl after the rst one
is aligned.

Required Tools and Materials:
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver
• 11/32” Socket and Ratchet Socket Wrench
• Alignment Tip, Ioline PN 111064-80
• 6ss or 10ss sorter wheel like Ioline PN:

1Power off the CrystalPress. Remove
the standard tip from the C-Stick
and install the Alignment Tip.
Initial Setup
There are TWO (2) ways to align the CrystalPress C-Stick tip with the Sorter Bowl pockets; Side to Side (Carriage
Y Axis) and Front to Back (Sheet X Axis). The most common alignment process is Side to Side so those steps are
shown rst. Front to Back alignment is very uncommon and Ioline recommends NOT performing it unless abso-
lutely necessary and only if Ioline Customer Service instructs you to do so.

Once the Control Center is open, click
on the Sorter Bowl Pickup Locations
button.

After the Adjust Pickup Locations win-
dow is open, make sure the Alignment
Tool Test button is checked. Under the
Current Sorter Bowl section, check the
bowl number you want to test. Make
sure nothing is obstructing the car-
riage including hands or face. Conrm
that both Sorter Bowl Locking Arms are
DOWN and LOCKED. Click the Perform
Basic Test button.
The Carriage will move quickly from
the left end plate to the Sorter Bowl.
When the carriage stops at the bowl
the Alignment Tool will lower automati-
cally into the hole on the wheel. If the
alignment is o, the tool will not go
down in the hole.

4Lower the Alignment Tool tip near the
Sorter Wheel by lightly pressing down
on the C-Stick Carriage Clamp with your
nger. Look at the pin at the end of the
Alignment Tool. If the pin does not go
down in the hole, take note of which
direction (left or right) the Carriage
needs to move so that the pin will line
up with the hole.
Check Alignment
5After determining which direction the
Alignment Tool has to go to line up with
the hole in the wheel, use this guide to
determine the alignment numbers to
add or subtract from the current set-
ting.
Ioline Units vs. Inches (millimeters):
15 mils = 1/64” (.3969mm)
31 mils = 1/32” (.7937mm)
62 mils = 1/16” (1.587mm)
125 mils = 1/8” (3.175mm)
250 mils = 1/4” (6.350mm)
Determine Alignment Adjustment
Too far to the left Too far to the Right
Subtract from current
pickup location
Add to current pickup
location
Example:
Bowl #1 pickup location is 5125 in the Control Center. The alignment tip is about 1/16” (62 mils in chart) to
the right of the hole in the wheel. The‘Current Location to Test’ number for Bowl #1 is 5187 (5125 + 62).
6
Set the Alignment
Type the new number into the Current
Location to Test eld. Then click the
Set [R/L] Sorter Bowl #[1/2] button to
send the new number to the machine.
Repeat starting at Step 2 as needed
until the alignment tip is aligned Side
to Side with the hole. It may not go
down into the hole if a Front to Back
alignment is also required. See the
next section, Adjust Front to Back (X)
Alignment, if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Repeat this process for
BOTH sorter bowls.

When the tip is centered on the wheel pocket, tighten the two Phillips screws on
either side of the adjustment nut with medium force. CAUTION: Do not overtighten
the screws as this can damage the bowl assemblies.
IMPORTANT: Repeat this process for BOTH sorter bowls, especially when any compo-
nents are changed in the Carriage (Y) axis.
If the alignment tip looks like this:
Loosen the two screws on either side
of the nut by equal amounts so that the
Sorter Bowl will adjust inward. Refer to
the chart on the right to estimate how
much to the rotate the screws. Lightly
tighten the nut the same amount the
screws were loosened to move the bowl
inward. Stop tightening when the tip
stops moving.

Turning the front sorter

by these amounts will
result in the associated
bowl movement:
1/4 turn = .008”
1/2 turn = .016”

on the C-Stick Carriage Clamp with your
nger. Look at the pin at the end of

HINT: Check the Side to Side (Carriage Y) adjustment after the Front to Back (Sheet
X) adjustment process is complete. Perform this check after installing the normal C-
Stick tip since it may vary slightly from the Alignment Tool tip. You may have to make
small adjustments to compensate.
Adjusting the Bowls (X axis):
If the alignment tip looks like this:
Adjust the bowls using one of the two
methods shown below.

Loosen the nut on the front of the
Sorter Bowl so that it will adjust outward.
Refer to the chart above to the right to
estimate how much to the rotate the
nut. Lightly tighten the two screws the
same amount the nut was loosened to
move the bowl outward. Stop tightening
when the tip stops moving.
Repeat Steps 4-5 to make more adjustments as needed until the tip is centered Front
to Back on the wheel pocket.
