the strip velocity may assist in stripping hard to strip materials by lessening the tendency for the
feed to slip.
CutterWayBack (0.0-.2000 in./ 0.0-5.08 mm)
This setting allows the stripping blades to be retracted from the conductor during stripping to
avoid nicking of strands and excessive blade wear.
CutterReady (0.00-1.750 in./ 0.0-44.45 mm)
This setting allows for optimization of servo cutterhead cycle time. After initiation of the feed
cycle and before the end of the feed the cutterhead will pre close to a distance from the wire
determined by the value entered.
CutterHome (0.00-1.750 in./ 0.0-44.45 mm)
This is the dimension the cutterhead opens to between each wire feed. A bigger dimension will
allows the wire to pass over the blades more easily. However larger dimensions can reduce the
parts per hour when running short wire lengths.
StripDelay (0-999 msec.)
This setting allows the blades to settle in to the insulation for the programmed time before the
strip stroke occurs.
FeedRate. (20-197 in./sec./ 0.05- 5.00 M/sec.)
This setting is the maximum speed to which the wire will accelerate during the feed portion of the
cycle.
Acceleration. (5-120% increments of 5%)
This is the rate at which the wire accelerates and decelerates during the feed portion of the cycle.
Rates in excess of 100% should only be used when the wire is adequately pre-fed.
OutfeedRollerStop (0- 2400 steps)
This setting provides a gap between the upper and lower outfeed rollers or belt. This gap allows
the stripped leading end of the wire to enter the outfeed rollers or belts without damage.
This setting is determined by the diameter of the stripped conductor or the OD of the wire if the
leading end is not stripped. It is suggested that the setting initially be 50% of the conductor OD.
The final setting can be obtained by further adjusting this gap for best performance with your
wire.
Use the following table to obtain the approximate “STEPS” value for the desired gap.
Note: The feed rollers or belts must be opened and closed to affect a change in this setting.
