Schleuniger 207 - Operating the Machine

Operating the machine
Before starting work check ...
... that the stripping values match the cable .
... that there is no debris between the stripping
blades (11) and the cable centralizers (1 0).
... the cutting edges of the stripping blades (11)
with a magnifying glass.
.. . the values stored (7) (LED display) compared
with your program record sheet.
Inserting the cable
Insert the cable to be stripped through the gripper
jaws (8) onto the sensor (9) . Make sure that the
cable is inserted horizontally and uniformly,
quickly and gently, and that it touches the sensor
lightly in the middle. As soon as the stripping
action is started, the gripper jaws (B) hold the cable
and you only need to hold it gently (Fig. 1 ).
Failures
Switch the machine off and re-check the points
listed under "Before starting work, check ... ".
Further possible causes for failure can be found in
the troubleshooting section.
Safety regulations
Never operate the machine without the safety
shield (46) in place . Before removing or lifting the
main cover (34), pull out the power cord. When
leaving the place of work, switch the machine off .
Initial calibration
of the machine
Each SCHLEUNIGER 207 is checked out thor-
oughly before delivery. Re-calibration necessary
through maintenance work, repairs etc ., may only
be carried out by trained personnel.
Blade change and calibration
Good stripping blades ( 11) are the most important
prerequisite for first class stripping quality. The
SCHLEUNIGER 207 is set up in such a way that
the stripping blades (11) can be replaced without
the values stored in memory being affected .
Important: The following method is only possible
if the gripper jaws have not been moved from the
factory set position. If you have serviced the
grippers in any way , you mustfirst re-align them as
described in the section <adjusting the grippers
with the calibration set> .
Switch cable no . switches (P) to 00.
Switch step selector (S) to 1.
Switch length switches (L) to 000.
Switch diameter switches (D) to 3. 00 mm (.118 in.)
(= 0 calibration standard) (94).
Press LOAD switch (6).
Switch off main switch (1).
Remove safety shield (46) by loosening the two
safety shield mounting screws (52)
Loosen the blade setscrews (45) with the hex key
SW 2.5 (Fig. 6).
Remove the old stripping blades (11) and clean
the cable centralizers (1 0) . Attention: do not mix
up the cable centralizers (10) .
Put in the new stripping bl ades (11) together with
the cable centralizers (1 0). Make sure that the
cable centralizer arms (13) fit into the notch of the
cable centralizers (10).
IMPORTANT!
Switch step selector (S) to 0, so that the
stripping head does not rotate!

Lightly tighten the blade setscrews (45) so thatthe
stripping blades (11) can still be moved without to
much free play.
Push both stripping blades (11) outwards from the
center. Switch on main switch (1).
lnsertthe3 mm (. 118 in.) calibration standard (94)
through the gripper jaws (8) from the front onto the
sensor (9) .
As soon as the calibration standard (94) touches
the sensor (9), the blade holder arms (12) close.
The gripper jaws (8) hold the calibration standard
(94) tightly and the blade holder arms (12) with the
stripping blades ( 11) and the cable centralizers
(1 0) close to the set stripping diameter 3.00 (. 118
in.) (0 calibration standard). Slide the two st r ip-
ping blades ( 11) until the cutting edges touch the
calibration standard (94) lightly and then tighten
the blade setscrews (45) lightly (Fig . 7) .
Switch step switch (S) to step 1 -the calibration
standard (94) will be released.
Switch off main switch (1) .
Carefully tighten blade setscrews (45) .
Attention: over tightening the blade setscrews
( 45) too much could lead to damage of the dovetail
shaped clamp on the blade holder arms (12).
Replace safety shield (46).
Switch on main switch (1) .
Select a cable no . and try stripping with the corre-
sponding cable.
Check stripping quality.
If the result of the stripping indicates the values
stored in memory must be changed, then the
blades have not been set exactly and the whole
blade change procedure must be repeated .
