NOTE: The largest change in OFFSET value that can be calculated
is ±3.00 mm (±0.118”). If the OFFSET should be outside this range,
after pressing RETURN, enter a new length and press RETURN
again to increase the calculated OFFSET. If the OFFSET calculates
to ZERO, restart the process.
There are no audible or screen alerts when the OFFSET resets to
ZERO.
NOTE: If the RESET button on the OFFSET screen is touched, the
offset values are set to zero. If the OFFSET screen is accessed,
and the Operator chooses not to make an adjustment, touching
RETURN will save the current values.
5.5 Summary of Procedure for Cutting Strips
After the machine is set up, the operator sets the size and quantity of the strips
needed, loads the material, and presses the CYCLE pushbutton.
If the material changes, or the machine is being used for the first time, some setup is
required. The following instructions are a guide to setting up a new production run.
After the machine is connected to the proper power source, follow the steps listed on
the next page. (Don’t turn the machine on until steps 1 and 2 are complete.)
1. Be sure the guide rail has been set appropriately for the material width. See
Section 5.4.1.
2. Be sure the pinch roller pressure is set appropriately for the material
thickness. See Section 5.4.2 for details.
3. Switch the Power Switch at the power entry module to the ON position (|) and
verify that the EPO button is pulled up (deactivated). The Kinematic Opening
Screen should appear.
4. Press the green ON pushbutton (just under the touch screen). The Main
Screen appears (see section 5.3.2) and the machine initializes. The ON
pushbutton will remain illuminated.
5. Choose Millimeters (MM) or Inches (IN) by touching the value at the top left of
the screen.
