6.2 Optional Automatic Roll Feed
The Matrix™ 2360
Programmable Shear may be
equipped with an automatic roll
feed module. This allows
product material to come from a
roll. The roll feed module has
its own control panel with
POWER ON and
FORWARD/REVERSE buttons.
A free-loop sensor detects the
feed loop when there is enough
material fed, and stops the feed
motor.
When using this option, relocate
the equipment if necessary to
allow the web loop to hang
freely.
When the sensor is not blocked, meaning material should be fed again, the motor
activates to release more material, and then stops as the sensor is again blocked by
product from the roll.
The nominal material core is 7.62 cm (3”) in diameter. An oversize core is not
recommended. Use caution if mounting an oversize core to ensure that the oversize
core is centered on the spindle. There is no adapter. In some cases, an oversize
roll might ‘freewheel’, unwinding too much material.
The loop sensor can be adjusted for distance, time, on/off delay, and angle to
material. These adjustments offer optimum loop detection for varying materials.
