Introduction to the VectorFurniture5000-7000 1-1

Introduction 1

1. Introduction to the VectorFurniture5000-7000


In the Vector range, the VectorFurniture5000-7000 is an automatic knife cutter
with a conveyor, which is specially designed for the Furniture industry.

The conveyor cuts markers or cutfiles without a theoretical limit in length. The
material is covered with a polyethylene film sealing the cutting surface. It is held
in position by vacuum and the turbine is integrated in the front of the conveyor.
Each time the cutting conveyor advances, the cut pieces move onto the
unloading conveyor bed.

The effective cutting width of the conveyor is 1,800 mm (71”), for a maximum
effective length of 2,100 mm (82”).

The cutting head has a vibrating blade, a pneumatic drill and an automatic blade
sharpener. Its rear positioning makes it easy to place the polyethylene that
ensures the tightness of the cutting area.

The maximum thickness of the spreads is 5 cm for the Vector 5000 (GTS head)
and 7 cm for the Vector 7000 (TGT head).

We offer two types of drilling equipment: 1 die-punching drill or 1 needle drill.

Two types of blade are available, and you have to choose the most suitable
according to the type of cutting work (thickness, hardness of the spread, etc.).

The control cabinet, integrated in the front of the machine frame, has all the
electronics required to control and coordinate the cutter's elements. A computer
transmits the cutting instructions depending on the operator's program.

Special attention has been paid to limit the level of sound disturbance caused by
each sub-assembly of the cutter (vacuum turbine, cutting head, etc.).

The operator should check the progress of the cutter by consulting the
ergonomically designed control console, which communicates all the information
simply and clearly: a pivoting, flat, color screen, a low number of control buttons
all of which are easily accessible, connections to Ethernet and Internet are
possible, with Internet access directly from the cutter driver software. If the
customer has chosen a Remote-Assistance contract, the operator’s workstation
is equipped with all the accessories and software which allow a Lectra
remote-operator to take control of the cutter from a distance in total safety and
with the maximum level of efficiency possible.

On the beam, there is a control keyboard with just a few, simple controls.

1-2 Introduction to the VectorFurniture5000-7000

These control elements can be integrated as standard on the left or right hand
side of the cutter according to the customer’s work organization.

3. Options available
Variable vacuum VT50/70-VPC

The VT50/70-VPC (VP Control) option consists in equipping the vacuum system
with a more powerful motor, driven by a speed controller, which is in turn
controlled by the operator using the cutting software.

This option is used to modulate the vacuum level according to the material to be
cut:
• Materials that are easily compressible (such as foam) are not put out of
shape so much.
• The vacuum level during the conveyor advances can also be modulated by
the operator: low vacuum to unload one fabric ply, high vacuum to move a
spread more easily.
• The power consumption is considerably reduced by the optimal choice of the
turbine rotation speed depending on the type of material to be cut.
• The noise level is reduced, since the vacuum is not permanently used at
maximum power.
• The electronic protection provided by the speed controller enables the
vacuum motor to operate faster creating more suction. This option is a
solution for applications with specific requirements: e.g.: altitude.
• It is often essential to have a higher vacuum to hold air filled spreads. Air
leaks can be very important in this type of spread especially if the pieces to
be cut are small.

VT5070-REDUCE width reducer

This device is used to reduce the effective cutting width by adding an airtight
plate on the unused area of the cutting bed. Narrow spreads can be cut with
polyethylene and Kraft paper sheets of the same width.

The effective width reducer can be adjusted from 0.6 m to 1 m


from 24 to 39”

This gives an adjustable effective width:of between 0.8 m and 1.2 m (32” - 47”)

The VT-REDUCE option is not compatible with the VT-ECLIPSE-V3 cutting


option during conveyor advances.

Conveyor width reducer VT5070-ROLLREDUCE

The tight plate reducing the effective cutting width is a conveyor belt, which
makes this width reducer compatible with the VT-ECLIPSE-V3 option.

The reduction of the effective cutting width is fixed: 14 - 26 - 28 - 30 or 32”.

501102 BA VectorFurniture5000-7000 Technical Manual


Options available 1-5

PostPrint Labeler PPRINTV2-VT5/7


or PPRINTV25/7LIFT

The PostPrint labeler is integrated between the cutting and unloading areas. It
consists of a fixed beam with a labeling head. Labels are applied as the cut
material advances. A thermal printer prints the labels.

The LIFT labeler variant has a system which allows the labeling beam to be
raised when the cut spreads are very bulky.

Label formats available


5 x 2.5 cm (2” x 1”)
3.5 x 2.5 cm (1”3/8 x 1”)
1.25 x 1.75 cm (1/2” x 11/16”)

The Data Selector software allows the customer to define labels to adapt to his/
her applications: layout and message contents printed, choice of character font
or bar codes.

Combining PostPrint with the VT-ECLIPSE-V3 option is, if not indispensable,


strongly recommended. It allows the operator to get a label in concurrent
operation time for most applications.

Additional cutting head

A second cutting head should be left on the site to optimize maintenance actions
and avoid hold-ups in production during regular maintenance operations.

This second head has the same equipment and the same variants as the main
head.

Blade cooling device

A compressed air jet points towards the blade when cutting to cool it down. This
system prevents the bundles from getting stuck together when cutting certain
synthetic materials.

BARCOD-V3 (or BARCOD-SERIAL) bar code reader

A bar code reader controlled by the cutting software avoids errors when inputting
the marker name or the material code.

BARCOD-V3 is a cordless drive that transmits by radio waves. If local standards


do not allow the use of this technology, it can be replaced by
BARCODE-SERIAL, equipped with a serial cable to be connected to the cutter's
main unit.

Transfer option VT5070V3OPM + VT5070V3OPMRAIL

The OPM is a motorized device that moves the cutter from one spreading table
to another, on two transfer rails.

There is a supply mast on the side of the cutting table for all the overhead
connections to the cutter. The operator controls the cutter’s movements from the
operator’s console on the cutter.

501102 BA VectorFurniture5000-7000 Technical Manual


1-6 Options available

The VT5070V3OPMRAIL option has all the guiding and the electrical supply
material for a 2 meter (2.2 yd) stroke. The stroke is the distance between the
axes of the first and last spreading table.

Short CODA VT5070-UNLOADS71 option


In order to reduce the length of the layout of the cutter or to facilitate unloading
small pieces, a shorter CODA can be integrated instead of the standard
unloading conveyor:
• total cutter (only) length of 5.2 m (204”) instead of 5.6 m (220”)
• effective unloading length of 2.16 m (85”) instead of 2.56 m (100”).

Installation 2

1. Constraints linked to the product


combinations
This paragraph is used to specify certain installation constraints for a cutter on
OPM:
• The Vector5000-7000 cutter on OPM can be associated with another type of
cutter that is also on OPM. In this case, § 1.1 lists the conditions required to
operate the two OPM lines in front of the same line of spreading tables.
• In all OPM installation cases, the stroke of the cutter defines the layout area.
§ 1.2 explains how to calculate this stroke.

For cutters installed without OPM, the site or product associations cause no
specific constraint.

1.1 Constraints due to association with another OPM

The VT5070V3OPM option rails can hold any two cutters taken from the Vector
5000 or 7000 ranges.

They are also compatible with the OPM4 rails – the motorization option for the E
95.3 or E 96.3 cutter.

It is possible to install a VectorFurniture5000-7000 on VT5070V3OPM, to double


the existing installation of an E 95.3 (or E 96.3) on OPM (see Figure 2) as long
as the installation conditions described in this chapter are respected.

It is also possible to use a VectorFurniture5000-7000 on VT5070V3OPM and a


71/86” large Vector 2500 or an 118” large Vector 2500 in front of the same
spreading tables line as long as two rail systems are installed (see Figure 3 and
Figure 4).

The conditions required to install the Vector5000-7000, that are described in this
chapter, must be respected. It is necessary to pay particular attention when a flat
tolerance is demanded for areas that are different depending on the type of
cutter (see paragraph 5.3).

Constraint linked to the site 2-3

1.2 Calculation of an OPM stroke

On OPM, the cutter moves laterally on two rails so that the material can be
loaded from several spreading tables. The stroke of the OPM is the distance
between the axes of the two extreme tables (see Figure 5).
The choice made for this parameter is represented by the C value in the rest of
this document.
Lectra offers the possibility of ordering the equipment required to install an OPM
in 2 meter steps for a minimum length of 6 meters.
If the real stroke measured on site is not a multiple of 2, the OPM must be
ordered for the larger stroke value.

In this case, if the excess rail length is in the way, the customer must make sure
it is sawn off before the installation.

2. Constraint linked to the site


The equipment must be installed on premises adapted to production machine
layout and where there are no particular hazards present (explosive atmosphere,
flammable vapours, etc.).

Fire protection:
Appropriate extinguishers should be provided for all possible types of fire. It is
preferable to provide a fire extinguisher that is not harmful to electronic circuits.

3.1 Presentation of the connections

The connections to be made to install the cutter are shown in the following
figures:

Figure 6 for a fixed cutter

Figure 7 for a cutter on OPM

For a machine on OPM, a switch box must be installed to connect the control
cabinet power supply (lines 2 and 3), while for a fixed machine, these supply
lines are directly connected to the control cabinet switch.

Specific recommendations for the On-Line Assistance mentioned in the Remote Expertise
contracts

• The cutter’s CPU must be connected to the Internet network with a


broadband link: Using a network link (see § 3.4) or a modem linked to the
telephone network (see § 3.5).

3.2 Electric supplies

Lectra’s responsibility starts - unless otherwise stated in the contract - at the


connection terminals of the equipment.

General protection against insulation faults, short-circuits and overloading of the


supply lines of Lectra products is the user’s responsibility.

The user must observe the indications for each power supply line of the
equipment relative to: the cable type to be used, the conductor sections, the type
and caliber of the magneto thermal protection.

These indications are mentioned later in this chapter for each electric supply
line.

As shown in the diagram of external connections (Figure 6 or Figure 7), two


electric supply lines are required:
• one for the vacuum turbine motor ......................................... line 1
• one for the control cabinet of the cutter ................................. line 2

A third electric supply line is optional:


• for the separate supply of the control part ............................. line 3

2-8 Exterior connections

3.2.1 Line 1: Three-phase supply of the vacuum motor

The vacuum motor and its electric controls are different depending upon whether
the cutter is equipped with the Variable Vacuum option:

With Standard Vacuum: 2-speed motor with low-high speed start, supplied with
400 V / 50 Hz or 460 V / 60 Hz - Three phases + PE(GND). It is associated to a
33 kW interface box equipped with a power circuit breaker.

With this motor type, the electric supply network frequency must be
specified when ordering to define the specifications of the vacuum device.

With Variable Vacuum : 1-speed motor driven by a frequency inverter, supplied


in 400 V - Three-phase + PE(GND) for a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. It is
associated with an inverter cabinet that has the frequency inverter and a safety
isolating switch.

If 400 V is not available on site, within the limits of + 6%/-10%, it is necessary to


provide an adapter autotransformer.

LECTRA offers the following options:


• a booster autotransformer ATR125 with primary that can be configured in
200, 220, 230 or 250 V for the 50 or 60 Hz networks.
• a reducing autotransformer ATR124 with primary that can be configured in
400, 480, 520, 575 or 630 V the 50 or 60 Hz networks.

The technical data sheets of these autotransformers are enclosed in the


appendix.

The Lectra autotransformers can be used on both networks (50 or 60 Hz) and
have 2 outlets : 400 V or 460 V.

With Standard Vacuum : To prevent the engine from deteriorating quickly,


use the appropriate network frequency outlet: 400V for 50 Hz and 460V for
! 60 Hz.

3.6 Evacuation of the exhaust air by the vacuum device

The fabric is held by a vacuum device during the cut that generates suction in
the conveyor box. The air comes out of the chimney placed on the right or left
side of the cutting table, depending on the variant. The rejected air temperature
is approximately 60° C.

The flow depends on the type of cut and can reach 4000 m³/h (5200 yd³/h)
maximum.

Depending on the customer’s requirements (heating, ventilation of premises,


etc.), (s)he can provide an exhaust sleeve to eject the hot air beyond the work
area.

For the specifications of any one installation, refer to:


• Figure 10 for a fixed machine,
• Figure 11 for a machine on OPM.

For the location of the chimney in relation to the machine, refer to Figure 15 of
§ 5.

The exhaust sleeve installed by the customer must not be fastened onto the
LECTRA chimney, because of the flexible mounting of the chimney on the
machine frame (to reduce noise transmission).

When an exhaust sleeve is fitted and the air is ejected into a different room
to that in which the cutter is installed:
• provide ventilation of the premises,
• do not obstruct air inlets.

5.1 Layout specifications

5.1.1 Layout of a fixed cutter

Figure 15 propose a typical layout for the cutter.

The air exhaust chimney and the supply mast are always placed opposite the
operator's workstation. The variant presented is the operator’s station on the left
(the machine zero side). When the operator’s workstation is on the right, reverse
the position of the elements in relation to the cutter axis :
• the control console
• the control keyboard on the beam
• the air exhaust chimney
• the supply mast

The possible electric control devices (transformer, inverter) are not shown on the
layout. They can be located outside the work area or in a technical room, on
condition that the electrical connections with the cutter have been made and are
working correctly.

At start-up and during production, the operator must carry out operations and
checks that require access to the various components. The operator must also
be able to see the indicator lamps from the work station. For maintenance
operations, clearance areas must be provided to open the protection covers as
well as sufficient work areas for the maintenance technician (see § 5.1.3).

All these conditions that must be observed define the following specifications:
Length of the layout area
with a standard CODA ........................................ 6,700 mm (264”)
with a short CODA .............................................. 6,300 mm (248”)
Width of the layout area .................................................... 5,100 mm (201”)

5.1.2 Layout of a cutter on OPM

Figure 16 proposes one typical layout for a cutter on OPM.

Two rails fixed to the floor allow the cutter to move in front of the various
spreading tables. A bunch of cabling fixed to an overhead rail ensures the power
supply to the cutter. The layout of this rail is described in § 5.4.

The air exhaust chimney and the supply mast are always placed opposite the
operator's workstation. The variant presented is the operator’s station on the left
(the machine zero side). When the operator’s workstation is on the right, reverse
the position of the elements in relation to the cutter axis :
• the control console,
• the control keyboard on the beam
• the air exhaust chimney
• supply mast.

If present, the electric control elements (transformer, inverter) are positioned


under the fixed point of the electric cabling (see § 5.4).

At start-up and during production, the operator must carry out operations and
checks that require access to the various components. The operator must also
be able to see the indicator lamps from the work station.

For maintenance operations, clearance areas must be provided to open the


protection covers as well as sufficient work areas for the maintenance technician
(see § 5.1.3).

All these conditions that must be observed define the following specifications:
Length of the layout area
with a standard CODA ..........................................6700 mm (264”)
with a short CODA ............................................... 6200 mm (244”)
Width of the layout area ............................................... C + 5100 mm (201”)
Height of the cutting area ...................................................... 865 mm (34”)

The dimension of 1610 mm (63”) between the back of the cutter and the first rail
includes a safety margin of a few millimeters. This also allows a slight error in the
rail alignment over the whole stroke length.

5.1.3 Areas and elements that must remain permanently accessible

Figure 17 defines the different work and maintenance areas.

The operator’s work areas:

• Either side of the cutting area to monitor the cutting operations and access
the control console as well as the control keyboard that is fixed on the beam
(1).

• At the front of the unloading conveyor to unload the pieces (2).

• Good visibility of the electronic cabinet front panel and access to the cabinet
switch on the left side (3).

The maintenance areas:

• At the front of the cutter, to be able to access the inside of the electronic
cabinet (4) and inside the electro-technical cabinet (5). These two cabinets
are mounted on hinges: a 90° rotation and then the removal of the cabinet's
side covers enable an operator or technician to access the internal
components.

• At the front of the cutter, to be able to access the vacuum box located under
the unloading conveyor (6).

5.3 Floor bearing points and places for fastening the


components

5.3.1 Floor bearing points for a fixed cutter

The cutter is on the floor and has six feet that can be used to adjust the level of
the cutting table.

Figure 18 shows the position of each foot in relation to the back of the cutter.
Foot bearing surface ................................................................. 22 cm² (3.4 in²)
Maximum load transferred to the floor by a foot
........................................................................ 800 Kg (816.47 kg)
Maximal pressure to the floor
............................................................. 37 Kg/cm² (240.40 kg/in.²)

5.3.2 Floor bearing points of a cutter on OPM

The cutter on OPM rests on four wheels under the cutter frame, guided on two
parallel rails fastened on the floor (two wheels on each rail).

The operating conditions required define the different floor areas marked in
Figure 19:

• Areas 1 and 2: Areas to fasten the rails


Maximum flatness tolerance ............................... 2 mm per meter (2/1000)
Drilling depth to fasten the rails .....................................30 mm min. (1.18”)
Drilling diameter to fasten the rails ........................................10 mm (0.39”)
These two areas are considered as reference areas for the whole
installation.

• Areas 3, 4 and 5: These intermediate areas must not present any


deformations larger than those indicated in Figure 20.

If areas 1 and 2 are steel beams sealed in the floor, they must be threaded
M8 instead of being drilled.

Area 1 is wider than the rail because it is also used to position a metallic cam
system which marks the stop positions of the cutter. The positioning principle is
explained in paragraph 5.5.

Figure 21 shows the position of the cutter’s wheels and indicates the maximum
loads transmitted to the floor.

The reference area must be checked and, if necessary, corrected before


delivery. The LECTRA rails will be fastened directly to this area on the first
! day of installation. The maximum load will be applied on the second day of
the installation.

5.3.3 Fitting the loading or spreading device

The cutter is not fixed to the loading or spreading device to which it is


associated. The space and the difference in height that can exist between these
two components can be filled in by a metal sheet or other element.

The tables must be aligned along the left side of the cutter (whatever the position
of the operator's workstation). For a more accurate alignment, use the left side
base plate.

X Rail

X Base plate

Cutter side

5.3.4 Fitting the inverter cabinet and the electric boxes

The inverter cabinet must be fixed to the wall vertically. Several supply sources
exist for this cabinet and it is therefore impossible to specify the fixing points.

The electric switchboxes supplied with the cutter must be fastened vertically onto
a wall or post. (customer interface box 33 kW for the “vacuum” line and safety
isolating switch box for the “control cabinet” lines when using OPM).

The dimensions and drillings needed to fix the two boxes are indicated in
Figure 26 and Figure 27.

In compliance to standards relative to electrical equipment, the circuit breaker


handles must be at easy reach and located between 0.6m and 1.9m.

We recommend a height of 1.70m.

This height can be adapted according to the specifications of each installation


site. In all cases, the layout must:
• Be easily accessible and each circuit breaker device must be easily
identifiable.
• Be positioned in such a way that there is no danger of the electrical
equipment getting hit during handling maneuvers.

It is also strongly recommended that these circuit breakers be visible from


the cutter’s work station.

Layout 2 - 41

5.4 Layout of the overhead rail

For a cutter on OPM, an overhead rail provided for the LECTRA cabling must be
fixed parallel to the cutter rails on the floor. The length and position of this
overhead rail in relation to the position of the end spreading tables are indicated
in Figure 22.

The R dimension shown in this figure depends on the C Stroke and the fixed
position of the cabling in relation to the supply mast. This dimension must be
long enough for the cabling. All possible values are given in Figure 24.

As shown in Figure 24, the position of the operator’s station is an important


factor when determining the cabling support length: generally it is the fixed point
for the cabling on the same side as the operator’s station that is chosen.

Whatever the variant and layout choice, LECTRA will supply enough overhead
rail and cabling for the installation.

If the R value causes a layout problem it should be noted that it can be reduced
by removing a few of the cabling support trolleys. A trolley is considered a space
factor on the overhead rail that is 200 mm (8”) long.

The connecting elements of the various links described in paragraph 3


must be located near the fixed point of the cabling (wall or post required).

Specifications of the LECTRA rail (for which the support must be provided by the customer)

Height at which the overhead rail should be fixed


maximum .......................................................3200 mm (126”)
minimum ........................................................3050 mm (120”) 1

1. It is possible to lower the overhead rail by shortening the mast at installation


Height at which the overhead rail should be fixed
after shortening the mast ...................................................2665 mm (105”).
2. This value is given for a length of 1.2 m (47”) of cabling between each trolley
on the overhead rail. If the customer decides to remove these trolleys to
reduce the R value, the maximum load will be greater.

5.5 Positioning principle of the metal cams

A detector support plate is fastened under the cutter next to the front left OPM
wheel. There are three detectors on the same axis in the X direction. The central
detector controls the OPM motor brake and the two others control, in each
movement direction, the motor stop and a slowing in the movement that is
extended by the motor inertia.

These three detectors must be associated to metal cams that are fixed to the
floor. The position must be adjusted according to the stop positions that are
required.

LECTRA supplies a set of cams with the OPM (article code 114162) which
includes the quantities required to install the six stop positions:
• 6 brake cams (square, on Y side)
• 8 retarder cams (their X length has been calculated to slow down correctly
on a flat floor)
• 2 end retarder cams (length X + Y)

Their theoretical layout in relation to each other and in relation to the cutter’s
stop positions is given in Figure 25.

The metal cams must be installed AFTER THE CUTTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED ON
ITS RAILS. This makes it very easy to position the cams accurately under the
detectors.
Furthermore, THE X LENGTH CAN BE CORRECTED TO ADAPT TO A SLIGHT SLOPE.
Its value is different depending on the movement direction.
The cams are then stuck once the position repeatability has been checked.

It is very important that, for the end tables, the B cam is detected at stop
(i.e. at the same time as the A cam). The simultaneous activation of the two
corresponding detectors prevents the selection of the prohibited move
direction.

The height of the detectors support plate must be adjusted to guarantee a


maximum space of 7 mm (1/4”) between each detector and the floor cams over
the entire movement length.

NOTE: the presence of metal can interfere with how the detectors operate.

1. Dismantling - Reassembling

1.1 Preparing the equipment for handling

This paragraph describes the procedure to be observed before handling the


cutter. It concerns all the precautions to be taken and gives the dismantling
procedures for the various sub-assemblies to make handling possible.

The handling procedure itself and the means required are described in
paragraph 2 of this chapter.

In some cases (handling over short distances) it is possible to leave the beam
and the interconnection plate on the cutter. The beam and cutting head must be
fastened in limit stop position.

To disconnect the external connections and interconnections

Mark all the connections before disconnecting them to be able to


re-establish the connections when reassembling.

1. Isolate the equipment, taking special care to open all the switches upstream
of each power supply line.
2. Open the electro-technical cabinet:
• unwire the vacuum motor from the vacuum plate
• also disconnect the “pre-cut” cable from the vacuum plate for standard
vacuum or the “On-Off-default” cable for variable vacuum.
3. Open the electronic cabinet:
• unwire the power and control supply from the switch on the front panel.
• disconnect the “instruction” wiring from the rack bottom board in the case
of a cutter with variable vacuum.
• disconnect the pneumatic connection from the air switch.

3-8 Handling the cutter

2. Handling the cutter


The electric elements associated to the cutter (inverter cabinet and transformers)
can be handled in a normal way using a forklift truck or a pallet truck.

After opening the crate or the pallet, the cutter can be handled following the
indications below: by lifting (§ 2.1) or by moving (§ 2.2). The accessories stored
on the cutting table will have been correctly fastened or dismantled to be
handled separately.

For a standard loading conveyor, if the length of the cutter is too long to allow it
to be carried into the cutting room, it can be reduced by 640 mm by placing the
unloading conveyor above the cutting area (§ 2.3).

2.1 Handling by lifting

The cutter can be raised using a crane or a forklift truck.

Lifting by forklift truck

As shown in Figure 30, the forks must be inserted at the sides of the cutter. The
forks MUST NOT be inserted at the front or at the back of the cutter. The forks
should span the whole width of the frame, on the two metallic structures, which
means that the forks must be a minimum of 2.4 m long.

The minimum height required to insert the forks is 155 mm: this corresponds to
the passage available when the cutter is on the OPM wheels. Laying the cutter
on its feet provides more passage height.

Always take the center of gravity into consideration when handling the
equipment.

Lifting by crane

Pass two slings under the machine as shown in Figure 31: one at the front and
one at the back. The slings used must be cotton straps (not chains), and must be
a minimum of 10 m long. Limit stops welded under the frame prevent the straps
from slipping. The straps are fastened by two slings, of sufficient length to avoid
crushing the sides of the cutter.

Make sure that the ceiling is sufficiently high: the slinging procedure
requires the ceiling to be at least 3.5 m (3.8 yd) high. Note that, to load or
! unload the cutter onto a lorry that has a non-removable tarpaulin, it will be
necessary to handle it using a forklift truck.

2.2 Handling by moving

The cutter can be moved with a forklift truck or on castors.

Moving by forklift truck

See Handling by raising.

Moving on castors

Six castors are fastened under the cutter on delivery. They are mounted next to
each machine foot as shown on Figure 32. (The position of the feet in relation to
the machine frame is shown in Figure 18).

Specific constraints to be taken into consideration:


Maximum slope admissible (see Figure 33) ........................................ 10 %
Mounting steps of max. height ....................................................1 cm (0.4”)
Max. load transmitted to the floor by one castor ..............1300 Kg (2900 lb)

The sheets that follow propose two castor dismantling procedures. The first
method (procedure no. 1) is recommended, because it is easier and quicker:
it requires the use of a pallet truck with a capacity of 2.5 tons. The second
method (sheet no. 2) is only described for cases when a pallet truck is not
available.

16 and 32 mm flat spanners.

• Initial state

The console, supply mast and chimney are dismantled. For a cutter on
OPM, the cardan link is also dismantled.

• Dismantling procedure

1. Move the cutter to its place. If it is an installation on OPM, place the wheels
above the rails.
2. First, dismantle the three castors on the same side: the left side for example.
This case is shown in Figure 35.
- Place the two 215 mm (8.5") high wedges in A and B.
- Move the pallet truck to position 1, inserting the two 50 mm (2") high
wedges between each fork blade and the machine frame, as shown in
Figure 35
- Raise the left side of the frame with the pallet truck, to place the two 225
mm (8.9") high wedges in C and D.
- Lower the pallet truck: the left side of the frame rests on the wedges, the
right side lays on the wedges and the castors.
- Remove the left side castors. For each castor, remove the four fastening
screws HM10x20.
- For a fixed cutter, pre-set the height of each foot on the left side, by
adjusting the foot screw. For a cutter on OPM, raise each foot to a
maximum.
- Lift the left side again with the pallet truck, to remove the 225 mm (8.9")
wedges.

PROCEDURE no. 2
Dismantling the castors and installing the cutter
(if a pallet truck of 2.5 T capacity is not available)

• Tools required

16 and 32 mm flat spanners.

• Initial state

The operator's workstation, supply mast and chimney are dismantled. For a
cutter on OPM, the cardan link is also dismantled.

• Dismantling procedure

1. Move the cutter to its place. If it is an installation on OPM, place the wheels
above the rails.
2. First, put the cutter on the six machine feet (even for an OPM). Observe the
dismantling order of the castors carefully. It has been defined according to
the maximum load accepted by one foot (1 ton):
- Simultaneously dismantle the three castors on the same side, which
means that the screwing or unscrewing operations must be carried out on
the 3 feet at the same time:
- Adjust the foot rod screw to lower the foot until it reaches the floor.
Continue adjusting the screw to raise the frame and lift the castor
several mm above the floor.
- Dismantle the four fastening screws HM10x20 from the castor and
remove it.
- Place the wedges on the side where the castors have been dismantled,
then repeat this procedure to dismantle the three castors on the other side
3. For a machine on OPM, when all the castors have been dismantled, adjust
the feet screws to lower the cutter onto the rails: it is mandatory to observe
the same operating procedure as for the castors (work simultaneously on the
3 feet on the same side).
When the cutter rests on the rails, raise the feet high enough so that they do
not get in the way of the cutter’s movements

• Reassembling procedure

Follow the dismantling procedure in reverse order: it is very important to


observe the assembly order and simultaneously assembly the three castors
on the same side.

• Adjustments and checks before start-up

For a fixed machine, adjust the cutting table height with the foot rod screws.
Tighten the counter-nuts on the foot rods.

Conformity 4

1. General aspects
The possible risks linked to the presence of mobile elements and low voltage
electrical parts require a good knowledge by all operators of the existing hazards
and of the machine’s integrated safety systems.

Maintenance and servicing operations must only be carried out by authorized


personnel. These persons must refer to the Technical and Operator’s Manuals
and Maintenance documentation where the necessary safety instructions are
found.

The Class II laser viewfinder used to indicate the cutting point is on the
! cutting head. Class II is linked to the presence of a visible laser beam of
power below 1 mW (for a wavelength between 630 and 680 nm).
Under normal operating conditions, the beam is directed straight down
presenting absolutely no risk to the eye.

4-6 Safety systems integrated in the cutter

2.3 Prevention of electrical and mechanical risks

In normal production use

The operators must respect the operating modes in order to avoid the potential
risks linked to the cutter.

In production, the user must check:


• that all protection covers are closed
• that all safety elements are in good working order
• that no operator is standing outside the defined working areas

Remember that, when cutting in automatic mode, the working areas are located:
• around the control console,
• behind the cutter for material supply interventions
• in front of the cutter when unloading cut pieces

The process of unloading cut pieces should only take place in front of the
conveyor in the area specifically marked out for this activity.

Any intervention in the cutting area should only take place after having powered
down the cutting cycle and when the machine is in a state that is known to be
safe. Always use the means described in the “Interrupting and re-starting the
automatic cycle” chapter in Process Guide to stop the cycle or to activate an
emergency stop.

The operator may be required to access the cutting area during a material
loading phase, or to indicate a cutting point. During these phases, hold down the
keys on the control keyboard to move the beam. Release the keys to stop the
move.

The stop bars shut off the cutter’s power supply circuit and activate the motor
braking module. The opening of the head cover (maintenance operations
accessible to the operator) is monitored by a safety interlock which cuts off the
cutter’s Power supply circuit.

In Remote Assistance mode

The cutter movements can be controlled by an off-site Lectra technician who


cannot see the cutter directly.

The safety instructions concerning the usual functioning of the cutter


remain valid.

The cutter is systematically controlled by a customer operator who has


successfully completed the Remote assistance training provided by Lectra and
who has signed the certificate issued at the end of the training course, which
attests to his or her capacity to provide Remote assistance on one of our cutters.

The operator is assisted by a coordinator (designated with the customer’s


agreement during the training period), who undertakes to ensure that the safety
instructions are respected throughout the duration of the work session (checking
the movements of other company employees, technical conditions, etc.).

Safety systems integrated in the cutter 4-7

Whatever the actions to be performed by the cutter, the work can only
commence following validation of a message by the customer operator. This
validation is performed by pressing the <VAL> key on the control keyboard of the
cutter (this keyboard cannot be accessed by the Lectra remote-operator).

When electrical power is required, the cutter operator should hold down the
release control button. This command is managed by a security center which
cuts off the power supply as soon as the operator stops pressing the button,
presses it down very hard or the moment a connection fault is detected.

A surveillance software application (Remote Security Controller) is initiated on


the cutter work station allowing the Lectra remote operator to visually and
permanently check that the operator has turned the key which starts up the
security center required when using the cutter in Remote Assistance mode.

In maintenance

It is essential for all maintenance operations to be carried out by trained


personnel who will respect the different operating modes and safety procedures.

These operations will be carried out, whenever possible, when the power has
been switched off. When it is absolutely necessary to intervene while the power
is on, the staff must ensure that the emergency stop devices are close at hand
and in good working order before intervening.

The blocking of the installation is obtained using TWO circuit breakers: the
! control cabinet circuit breaker and the vacuum line power circuit breaker.

The compressed air circuit works independently of the electrical circuit.


The compressed air is blocked by a manual switch on the front of the
cutter.
