mm (0.76” to 24.0”). See page 23 for details on entering numbers with the touch
screen.
The range of values for the quantity (QTY.) of strips or cards to be cut (the batch
size) is from 1 to 9,999. Set to a low number (e.g. 10) until machine set up is
complete and you have measured actual strip length. (See Section 5.4.3.)
NOTE: When setting the strip quantity (QTY.), set to a number that
will leave at least 19 mm (.75”) of material at the trailing end of each
card. The blade will cut accurately only when at least 19 mm (.75”) of
material is left behind the blade as scrap. If less material is left, the
rollers are not holding the material securely and precise strips cannot
be cut.
The equipment automatically enters Card Mode when the entered strip length
exceeds 19.01 mm (0.75”). In Card Mode, process speed is reduced to allow time
for more product movement.
In the optional Registration Mode, the machine process speed is slightly reduced a
little more to allow time for the detection of the registration feature. In Strip Mode,
the motor advances the material and the registration logic is on. When the
registration point is detected, the motor briefly stops and the cut is made. In Card
Mode, the material is driven for most of the card length at high speed, then the motor
slows and the registration logic is turned on. The motor briefly stops when the
registration point is detected, and the cut is made.
NOTE: Inch and Millimeter modes are independent of each other.
Setting the millimeter mode value will not make the machine cut the
inch equivalent in inch mode.
The size and offset for each mode must be programmed separately.
Change from inch to millimeter mode, or from millimeter to inch mode
by returning to the Main screen and touching the length field.
NOTE: The strip size set here is modified by the offset adjustment
defined on the OFFSET ADJUST screen. See Section 5.4.3
The offsets for Inch and Millimeter modes and must be programmed
separately.
