3.3.3 ABOUT THE SETTING OF MACHINE PARAMETERS

Here are some notes and suggestions about the correct set up of the machine parameters:
Cardboard tube slitting time

4 Cardboard slitting time is in the range 0.1 sec ÷ 9.9 se, outside this range there is an alarm message.
4 If the value is wrong then the firmware sets to 1.0 sec, average time ok for most of the cardboard tubes.
Automatic sharpening
4 Automatic sharpening time is in the range 1.0 sec ÷ 10.0 sec, outside this range there is an alarm message.
4 If the value is wrong the firmware sets it to 1.5 sec, average time for most of the operations.
4 It is possible to enter ZERO in the number of cycles between two consecutive sharpening actions. In this
case the automatic sharpening is disabled.
4 The sharpening will be done during the displacement of the blade carriage. As the positioning system is very
fast, it could be possible that the movement of the blade towards the roll will wait until the sharpening
operation is not ended. This delay slows down the cutting cycle but the cutting edge of the blade will be
always perfect.
4 Mind these suggestions when choosing parameters of the automatic sharpening and do not forget to
increase of about 0.5 sec the value of sharpening time to compensate the time lost for the movement of the
sharpener towards the blade before starting the sharpening

4. SPECIAL DEVICES
Following pages show details about special or option devices installed on the machine:
Ø Door safety microswitch

It’s located on the small transparent side door of the machine. A safety microswitch locks or unlocks the
door and it controls the conditions to access inside the unit. Door cannot be opened when the blade is
rotating and it is not possible to start the machine when the door is still opened.
Ø Rear door safety microswitch

It’s located on the hinge of the door behind the machine. Machine cannot start when this door is opened.
Ø Zero speed detection device

It’s an electronic safety device. It detects the rotation of the blade motor and it controls that the lock on the
main door of the machine until the blade is still rotating. If the blade motor is without inverter, still it controls
that the blade rotation (due to inertia) stops before release the lock of the door and let operator open the
door.
Ø T/FLA flange.
Optional device. Put this flange at the side of the roll at around 2-3 mm from it when fabric is soft or the
slitting width is less than 10 mm otherwise the cut roll could drop due to the action of the blade. It’s used to
keep the fabric in position during the slitting operation.

4.1.1 DOOR SAFETY MICRO SWITCH
(P055) Door safety microswitch (P056) Details
This is the main safety device of the machine. It stops the machine when the door is opened, the door cannot be
opened until all the motors have been stopped and in particular until the blade is rotating (there is one zero speed
device to detect if the blade is rotating).
When the machine is powered off and the door is closed, it cannot be opened because the lock coil is electrically
controlled by the machine firmware. For this reason, during the transport, the door is mechanically unlocked and
must be re-locked before using the machine at destination.
To lock the safety switch and let the machine operates, please
act as following:
Ø Open the plastic cover (A3) by turning counter clockwise;

Ø Insert the special key (A2) in the unlock site;
Ø Turn right the key to lock the micro switch (P56);
Ø Remove the key (A2) and close the cover (A3);

4.2 ZERO SPEED DETECTION DEVICE
The zero speed detection device in combination with the microswitch of the safety door is the main safety system
of the machine. This device detects the rotation of the blade motor by checking the current that flows in the motor
and it keeps the machine door locked until the motor is fully stopped.
This device is also able to detect a “free” rotation of the motor (when it’s not electrically driven). Also in this case
the door is locked when the motor is turning.

4.3 T/FLA FLANGE
(P062) T/FLA flange
T/FLA flange is an optional device for better slitting for difficult materials in the following conditions:
4 Soft fabric and/or loose winding in the roll.

4 Very small slitting width (less than 10 mm).
* 17/02/2010 6.02 58 / 123

T/500
In both cases the slit rolls has the tendency to “drop” for the combination various reasons: blade thickness, roll
rotation, soft fabric with loose winding.
The device T/FLA flange with springs permits to slit in these conditions: put the flange on the shaft near to the
right side of the roll; the flange support the side of the slit roll compensating the forces from the blade pushing the
material to drop.

4.4 SILICON DEVICE (ON REQUEST)
This option device permits to lubricate automatically the blade to reduce the friction between the blade and the roll
during the slitting operation. It can be necessary for cutting synthetic fabrics or adhesive as the heating of the
blade can cause fusion of the roll sides during the cut.
To adjust the quantity of the silicon flux, act on the dispenser then keep the lubrication touch button to check the
action. To fill the tank with silicon oil, loosen the cap then fill the tank with a funnel up to 3/4 of its capacity.

The procedure to start the automatic cycle is:
4 Program the machine (see previous chapter 5.2.6 to enter the machine parameters)
4 Close the machine door;
4 Move the blade carriage at the position for doing the initial trimming cut with machine in MANUAL and using
the JOYSTICK LEVER to move to left/right the blade carriage.
4 Enable AUTOMATIC SHARPENING (normally requested during automatic cycle);
4 Enable AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION (if it requested for the material to cut)
4 Turn BLADE SPEED POTENTIOMETER to adjust the rotation speed of the blade;
4 Select the rotation direction of the roll then turn the ROLL SPEED POTENTIOMETER to adjust the roll
rotation speed.
4 Push AUTOMATIC button to start the automatic cycle.
The automatic cycle consists of the following operations:
[a] Initial trimming cut of the roll. Both roll and blade motor will start then the blade moves towards the roll
until it reaches the blade fwd mechanical travel end (blade will be near to the roll shaft without cutting it).
[b] Cur of cardboard papertube. The blade remains in the position [a] for the programmed time to cut the tube.
To modify the cutting time of the cardboard go to page 2 of the touchscreen (see par 3.3.1).
[c] Blade return. The blade returns back (exit the roll) and it stops just outside of the roll accordingly to the
adjustment of the blade photocell.
[d] Displacement of the blade carriage. The carriage moves to left to go to stop in the position for the next cut.
Blade will be sharpened during the displacement (if automatic sharpening has been enabled). When the
carriage has reached the position for the next cut then the cycle will restart from point [a].
[e] Counter of the cuts. Each time the blade carriage has reached the point [d] of the sequence then the value
in the counter of the cuts will increase of one unit. At reaching of total of the programmed cuts machine will
do the last cut then all motors will stop and the blade and the blade goes back to the safety position inside
the guard.

6.1 ADJUSTMENT OF BLADE FORWARDS MECHANICAL TRAVEL END

IMPORTANT: A wrong adjustment of the blade forwards mechanic travel end can cause:
Ø Incomplete separation of the cut rolls;
Ø Incomplete slitting of the cardboard tube;
Ø Severe damage to the blade;
Ø Severe damage to the roll shaft.
If the adjustment of the mechanical travel end is too forwards then the blade will touch the roll shaft. The blade
and the roll shaft will be damaged and there will be probably damages to the blade motor and to the inverter drive
of the motor (if installed in the machine). If the adjustment of the mechanical travel end is too far away from the
roll shaft then the cut is incomplete and/or the papertube will not completely slit.

blade carriage to the position for doing the next cut
The group is composed of a photocell placed over the blade
(P090) Photocell (P091) Photocell adjustment
For a correct use, follow the below listed adjustments:

4 The line of the photocell beam must be 1 cm at the left of the blade, to stop immediately stop the
movement of the carriage in case of obstacle or collision between the blade and the roll.
4 The line of the photocell beam must be 1 cm outside of the cutting edge of the blade to leave sufficient
safety space after the blade return out of the roll during automatic cycle.
4 The photocell beam must always intersect the roll shaft when the blade is in the forward position near to the
roll shaft (on the fwd mechanic travel end). If the beam will go out of the roll shaft then the machine will
stop immediately.

3. Take a piece of black fabric then wind it on the roll shaft;
4. Using the joystick, move the blade towards the roll shaft up to the end of its stroke (on its fwd mechanical
travel end);
5. You must see now a red spot on the black fabric in the middle of the shaft; if not, adjust the position of the
photocell unit the red spot is exactly at the centre of the black fabric in the middle of the roll shaft;
6. When ready, press the [SET] button on the photocell. Both led will switch off then, after about 10 seconds,
they will switch on again. Keep button pressed UNTIL both led are on again;
7. Now the photocell has done its setup with the darkest fabric and it can now detect all the color between the
shaft and the photocell (yellow led is ON when detected) while any object below the shaft will not be read.
Put now the hand below the shaft them move upwards until the yellow led turns ON(hands must be above
the shaft);
8. Put now the guard on the [SET] button;
9. Check very well if the adjustment has been done correctly and the photocell always detects the fabric. If the
adjustment is wrong the photocell could move inside the roll during the slitting operation;
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

1. We recommend to use a dark fabric as reference for setup normally acceptable for any other colour.
2. Transparent film on the roll can cause reading errors: in this case do again the setup procedure with a dark
fabric with the transparent film on it.
HOW TO TEST IF ADJUSTMENT IS OK

1. Load a roll;
2. Move the blade at the side of the roll then move fwd the blade carriage for doing a trimming cut then move
up/down the blade to see if the yellow LED will be on/off accordingly;
3. Do not run the machine in AUTOMATIC, just move up/down several time the blade carriage as doing the
trimming cut and check if the yellow led will be on

To check if the sharpener is well adjusted, press SHARPENER MOTOR START (5) to start the sharpener then look
at the sparks. If the sparks are long and there is a dense flame then the grindstone is well adjusted. If the sparks
are short and very few then sharpener is not running well and the possible reasons are:
4 Dirty stone. Dress the grindstone with the diamond.
4 Worn out grindstone. Change the grindstone.
4 Not correct or not sufficient contact area between the grindstone and the blade.
