Vector MP cutting head 1
1. Introduction
The Vector MP cutting head has been specially designed for cutting JEAN fabric.
It enables cutting spreads of 60 plies of 14 ounces JEAN fabric.
The cutting principle is based on the vertical vibration of the cutting blade. It is
sharpened by an abrasive belt sharpener.
The Vector MP cutting head is equipped with a stress sensor that enables
compensating for the blade bending.
A drill that can be equipped with various needle diameters marks the cut pieces.
A light viewfinder shows the cutting point.

2. Operating
2.1 Principle
The various functions of the cutting head are the following:
• blade vibration
• blade guiding
• blade orientation
• sharpening
• drilling
These functions are achieved by electric or pneumatic actuators.
The framework of the Vector MP consists in a main structure, supporting the

various functional elements. This structure is fastened on the Y carriage of the
mobile unit, and it can be disassembled after unplugging the pneumatic and
electric elements.
2.2 Pneumatic control
Refer to the pneumatic diagram in appendix.
The compressed air comes from the pneumatic plate of the cutter (Minimum
pressure 5 bars, maximum pressure 7 bars).
Opening the head cover does not cut off the pneumatic circuit.
!
To lower the tools (blade and presser foot), use the section switch on the front
door of the cutter.
The presser foot and sharpening pressure are regulated by a servo distributor
piloted by the numeric control.
2.3 Blade vibration

The vertical alternating vibration motion of the blade is obtained by the rotation of
a “Brushless” motor, transformed by a crankshaft-rod link.
The “Brushless” motor, without brushes, is a self-drive synchronous motor. The

sensor associated to the motor is a resolver ensuring the self-piloting. This
technology has been chosen instead of a tachometer because the brushless
motor withstands a high engine speed better than a motor with brushes, and has
a smaller weight.
Unbelt and pulley system transmits the motor rotation to a crankshaft. It is guided
in rotation in a bearing box called “vibration box”.

3
The connecting rod is linked by its top part to the crankshaft rotation, and its
lower part is linked to the blade holder jack. This blade holder jack allows a free
rotation of the cutting blade.
Two blade positions - up and down - are defined by two different positions of the
vibration box in relation to the base plate. The box is guided by a set of sliders /
guide rails. The motion is generated by two double-acting jacks. The left jack is
equipped with two position sensors. A light diode on each sensor allows
visualizing its state.
2.4 Blade guiding

The blade translation is guided on two levels, by a system of rollers distributed
on either side of the blade.
The upper guide is integrated in the top part of the presser foot, which rotates
freely over the base plate, to enable the blade edge orientation.
The lower guide is ensured by the rollers of the stress sensor integrated in the
low part of the presser foot. A double-acting jack controls the up and down
motion of this part according to the cut requirements. The stress sensor also
compensates the blade bending.
An intermediate guide maintains the rear part of the blade during sharpening
operations.
2.5 Blade orientation

The blade edge is oriented in the cutting direction by the blade upper guide
located at the top part of the presser foot unit. The upper part of the presser foot
unit is driven in rotation by a DC motor, through a pinion-belt link with a 1/3
reduction factor.
The motor is equipped with an encoder, to enable piloting the blade position.
This encoder counts three turns when the blade does a complete revolution. A
magnetic sensor fastened on the base plate is used to locate the blade position.
2.6 Sharpening
Sharpening is done by two abrasive strips mounted on a swivel arm. Each strip
is tightened by an idle pulley associated to a compression spring.
The sharpening arm is positioned in front of the blade by a single-acting jack

associated to a cable. The arm return is operated by a return spring.
The sharpening pressure is managed by the servo-valve piloted by the numeric

control.

4
Sharpening is only possible if the blade is in high position and has a specific
angular value in relation to the blade zero. This value is defined by the
microtracer program parameters.

sharpening direction " -".
Pressure 2 Position 2
corresponds to the
pressure applied by the 75°
arm when the blade is in Sharpening
position 2 with a 1/2 rotation
sharpening direction " +"
One sharpening cycle (Parameter Sharpening Number = 1) is made of ten

different steps:
• Rotation of the blade in position 1
• Flip Flop down motion
• Rotation of the sharpener arm and rotation of the abrasive strips in the
sharpening direction “ -“
• Flip Flop up motion
• Sharpener return
• Rotation of the blade in position 2
• Flip Flop down motion
• Rotation of the sharpener and rotation of the abrasive strips in the
sharpening direction “+”
• Flip Flop up motion
• Sharpener return
On the Vector Denim, the distance between each sharpening cycle is 3 m.

!
The sharpening cycles are carried out during the off load motions. Their number
and duration can be defined by the user. The vibration speed used during a
sharpening cycle is different from the speed used during the cut (defined in the
microprogram ª 3000 rpm)
For a correct sharpening, it is important that the motor rotation direction

corresponds to the direction shown on Figure 2 for blade positions 1 and 2.

5
2.7 Drilling
A drill unit is mounted at the front of the Vector MP cutting head. It consists in a
pneumatic drill motors and a double acting jack that controls the up/down motion
of the drill tool. The action of the drill jack is combined with a compensating
spring, to enable drilling whatever the thickness of the spread. The drill uses a
heating needle heated by a heating unit.
The light viewfinder of the cutting head is fastened on the drill unit.
3. Proximity switches and Stress Sensor

On the Vector Denim, the cutting quality is ensured by sensors placed on the
machine, and thanks to sophisticated software algorithms.
3.1 CNUM parameters

1. Under CNUM, access the Options menu.
2. Set the function Lateral correction at value Sensor and
proximity.
3. Set the function Speed limitation at value Qcut and
proximity.
4. Quit the Options menu.
3.2 Stress sensor

The stress sensor, mounted in the presser foot, allows to know at any time the
lateral bending stress exerted on the blade. The blade is then automatically
oriented to cancel this stress.
Parameters linked to the stress sensor
1. Under CNUM, access the Parameters menu.

2. Select Stress sensor parameters
Maximal angle: maximum angle given to the blade in relation to its initial
trajectory to compensate the lateral stress measured by the sensor.
Proportional gain and Stress sensor integral gain:

these gains allow to modulate the blade orientation according to the stress
measured by the sensor. The default values have been set in factory and
must not be modified.

6
3. Quit the Stress sensor parameters menu.
If the cutting effort is too low (cutting one to several plies) the stress measured
by the sensor is very low and the blade rotation does not modify the measured
stress. In this case, it is preferable to disable the sensor management in
VectorPilot.
3.3 Limitation of the cutting stress

According to the cutting stress determined permanently from the X and Y motors
consumption, the cutting speed is adjusted so that it does not exceed the
maximum admissible stress.
This function guarantees an outstanding cutting quality and an excellent

productivity whatever the thickness and hardness of the material to be cut.
This allows to define a high cutting speed, because this speed will only be
reached if the material thickness allows it.
This function is ideal for medium speeds and accelerations (less than
40 m/min. and 3 m/s²) but may generate jerks with larger values. To cut low
thicknesses at high speed, it is advised to disable this function in
VectorPilot.
Calibration of the QCUT control
This adjustment appears when the Quality Cut option is activated. It allows to
automatically determine the value of some parameters of the Quality Cut control.
The values determined by this adjustment characterize the structure of the

machine. They are set in factory before the machine is delivered, and they can
be modified in maintenance only after a “heavy” intervention (replacement of
guiding parts).
The principle of the test consists in executing a series of motions of the mobile
unit in X or Y, with the blade vibrating in low position in the cutting bed. The
number, position and length of these cuts can be defined. During the test, the
program measures the voltage in the tested motor and calculates the specific
parameter values of the machine.
To ensure an efficient Quality Cut control, it is very important that the

friction existing during calibration remain constant. It is necessary that the
! customer respects the cutter maintenance recommendations, particularly
for the X axis guiding: daily compressed air cleaning on the racks, weekly
greasing of the X rails.

Proximities management
During the cut, the software automatically determines if a tangent or close

trajectory has already been cut and will adjust the cutting speed and the blade
orientation to ensure a good cutting quality

2. Select Material parameters
The parameter Max. proximity for orientation corresponds to

the distance between two trajectories from which the proximities management is
activated.
The parameter Maximum proximity orientation corresponds to the

maximum angle given to the blade in relation to its original trajectory when
calculating the proximities. The parameter Max. proximity for speed
reduce corresponds to the distance between two trajectories from which the

11
cutting speed will be reduced. This reduced speed is defined by the parameter
value Proximity speed.
The parameters Blade move back at 10m/mn, Fabric gain and

Fabric angle are not used for the stress sensor.
The diagram below shows the blade orientation in relation to its original
trajectory according to the proximity distance. This line was made with a Max.
proximity for orientation of 10 mm and a Maximum proximity
orientation of 10°. In this example, at a distance of 3 mm, the applied angle
will be 7°.

Aim Optimize the tension value of the blade vibration belt
Tools Standard tools, ruler
Adjustment 1. Place the 2 marks drawn on the belt so as to easily measure the distance
procedure between them.
2. Slightly unscrew the self-locking nut M8 on the tightening axis, to allow the
vertical movement of the return pulley.
3. Act on the tension screw CHc M6 x 40: the belt adjustment is correct when the
dimension between the 2 marks corresponds to the application of 0.8 % tension
on the belt. To calculate this dimension: see note below.
4. Lock the adjustment with the self-locking nut M8.
5. Manually turn the transmission by the equivalent of 2 to 3 belt revolutions.
6. Check the dimension between the 2 marks.
Each time a new belt is mounted on a head, the dimension between the 2 marks
without tension must be noted on the test sheet of the machine.
When a 0.8 % tension is applied on the belt, the dimension measured between the 2
marks is multiplied by 1.008.
Examples:
Dimension without tension = 200 mm
Dimension with tightened belt = 200 x 1.008 = 201.6 mm
• Do never twist the belt because it would damage its armouring.

! • Maximum tension that must never be exceeded (breaking of the Kevlar
fiber in the armouring) = 1.2 %
