6 INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL FEATURES
6.1 Optional Support Spindle
The Optional Support Spindle is
shipped separately from the main
body of the machine. The support
spindle assembly is designed to
make installation quick and easy.
The Optional Support Spindle is a
mechanism to allow roll material to
be fed into the system. Unlike the
Optional Automatic Roll Feed, this
device is not powered. The
movement of material from the roll is
controlled by the drive rollers pulling
it into the blade.
Optional Support Spindle
Adjust the tension by turning the thumbscrew on the back of the spindle. Turn this
screw clockwise to increase tension. Keep only enough tension on the support
spindle to prevent spool freewheeling. Too much tension affects strip length
accuracy.
NOTE: The automatic scrap eject mode should be off for roll feed. On
the OPTIONS screen, make sure that SCRAP EJECT OFF is selected.
