a slow speed until the feature sensor detects the selected feature, then stops and
shears the card or strip.
NOTE: A Quality Assurance data sheet packed with the Matrix™ 2360
records the settings used during qualification. These settings should
work well unless the material or light conditions are changed.
See Section 7.14.1 for adjusting the focus of the registration sensor or
Section 7.14.2 to adjust the amplifier settings.
With new material, initially set the programmed length about 0.5 mm (.02”) short of
the desired length. Observe that the machine is working correctly at that setting.
Adjust the micrometer if necessary to achieve the desired results.
Test the settings by pressing CUT ONE STRIP. This first strip may or may not be
the correct length. Treat it as scrap. Press CUT ONE STRIP several more times,
and measure the resulting cards or strips, comparing each length to the
specifications. Inspect and measure at least 10 strips with calipers after any change.
Reduce the programmed length.
Test that the SENSOR indicator is reliably changing state as
the feature moves under the sensor. (See Section 6.3.2)
If the cuts are precise, but
there is a noticeable delay
before each cut
Optimize for speed by increasing the length by a very small
amount.
If the cuts are consistent,
but too soon or too late
Adjust the micrometer (see Section 6.3)
If cuts are not made at all
Check that FEATURE SENSING is turned ON.
Check that the SENSOR indicator is changing state as the
feature moves under the sensor. (See Section 6.3.2)
Reduce the programmed length.
