On standard width systems, the minimum material width is 19.05 mm (0.75”) to allow
enough support for the adjustable guide rail positioning bars. On wide blade
systems, the minimum material width is 57.15 mm (2.25”). If the adjustable rail is
too close to the fixed rail, the positioning bars cannot be locked into position.
5.4.2 Roller Tension
Product is driven through the guillotine
blade by an indexing bottom drive
roller with an idler roller on top. The
indexing roller is fixed in place, while
the idler roller is spring loaded against
the indexing roller. (See Section
5.1.2.)
A Roller Tension Adjustment Knob is
provided to the left of the blade cover.
Hold down on this knob to temporarily
raise the idler roller and insert
material.
Roller Tension Adjustment Knob
NOTE: Maximum roller force is approximately 3.9 kg (8.5 lb).
However, the roller tension should be adjusted to no more than what
is required to hold the material securely; higher pressures will deform
the compliant roller and lead to strip width issues.
The pressure of the spring-controlled idler roller in the down position is adjustable,
and may be adjusted to accommodate the material used. Adjust the roller pressure
for your material by following these steps:
1. Shut off electrical power by unplugging the machine.
2. Open the clear blade cover over the rollers.
3. Press and hold the top of the Roller Tension Adjustment Knob down and
insert the material through the rollers.
4. Release the knob.
