2.7 Residual risks
When the machine is functioning normally and the guard is closed, the only risks to be highlighted
are the ones related to the invisible weak laser radiation which may come out of the labyrinth
barriers located at the chain inlet and exit point. Avoid exposure to these openings which are
clearly indicated by special yellow labels posted on the machine.
As the maintenance operator must have access to the machine in order to carry out the tooling and
settings, the machine has been equipped with a key-operated selector button (5 fig.17) which,
when activated, will permit the machine to function at reduced speed with the safety guard (2
fig.13) open, though the laser welding remains inactive (Laser Generator switched off. No laser
beam can be lased).
MM
During this operation the operator must be extremely careful to guard against
the hand or fingers becoming crushed or trapped in the machine.
This operation must only be carried out by the mechanical maintenance operator
who will wear the protective safety glasses when operating with open the safety
guard to protect eyes from accidental breakages of parts of the equipment.
Attention! This obligation applies also if the movement of the mechanical parts
is carried out manually by rotating the handwheel.
The key must be kept by the head of department and only used for the
aforementioned operation by authorised personnel specifically trained for this
purpose MM ME .
The personnel assigned the task of using the machine must have had previous
training and be able to carry out the task as dictated by law.
Only allow personnel operating the machine to enter the operating area.
The operator position must be kept clean at all times and free of any possible
obstacles which could limit their freedom of movement.
Before beginning any work on the machine, the operator must be fully informed
about the function of the machine and its controls and must have read and
understood all the technical information contained in this manual.
Only connect the machine to an alternating electrical supply (230 Volt 50/60 Hz).

• The operating and maintenance instructions must always be kept in the place where the Laser
Generator is used.
• Besides these operating and maintenance instructions, the local and nationwide regulations
governing the accident prevention and the environmental preservation must also be followed. In
particular, the accident prevention standards for use of laser equipment must be followed (See
Reference Specification, Point 3.1).
• All the safety and danger warning signs posted on the Laser Generator must be kept in good
state and legible.
• Only personnel who have been instructed, trained and prepared as stipulated in accident prevention
standards in force concerning the risks involved in the function of laser equipment (See Reference
Specifications at Point 3.1) can work on the Generator.
• Personnel still under training may only work the Generator under the supervision of an expert.
• Only activate the Generator after checking that all protection devices have been inserted and are
in perfect working order.
• At least once a week, check that there is no visible damage to the Laser Generator and check the
function of safety devices (e.g.: defects to safety circuits, fibre glass conductors of the laser
beam, glass on the protective filters, protection at openings).
• Any intervention on the electricity supply must only be carried out by the Manufacturer's
Assistance Service.
• Always keep the Laser Generator closed. Only allow authorized personnel in possession
of the special key to open it.
• In the event that any interventions on live parts are required, it is recommended that a
second person should also be present who will immediately press the main switch to
disconnect the electricity supply in case of emergency.
Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W page 25
3.16 Points presenting particular danger
Particular care must be taken to ensure that no laser impulses are emitted when
the laser ray is pointing in the direction of people or objects which are inflammable
or explosive.
• The laser radiation produced by the Generator can be used to melt, burn or evaporate
almost all types of material. In the event that this is used on materials which do not
conform to those specified, gas and vapours could form which, according to the
composition of the initial materials, may prove to be damaging and dangerous to the
health.
Working with non metallic materials, in particular plastic materials, constitutes
one of the uses which do not conform to those stipulated for the Laser Generator.
The Generator is a piece of laser equipment which has been classified as a Class 4 laser.
Any users in Italy must observe the recommendations governing the risks involved in the use of
laser equipment contained in the Guides CEI 3849R and 3850R. Users in other Countries must
observe corresponding standards in force.
GENERAL WARNINGS
The Generator is a laser device with Neodymium-Yag and a high optical radiation power. This laser
radiation has a wavelength of 1064 nm and is located in the infrared area. It is therefore not
visible to the human eye.
The human eye is particularly sensitive to the risks involved in infrared laser radiation (invisible), as
this form of radiation is particularly concentrated on the ocular and focused on the retina. Extensive
irradiation of the retina produces extreme local overheating and the burning of retinal tissue which
means a partial or complete loss of eyesight.
In the course of the invisible Nd-Yag laser ray the visible (red) ray of a He-Ne laser is emitted which
is not as powerful. If observed for long periods, secondary visible radiation may cause glare.
page 26 Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W
DANGER TO EYES AND SKIN
All persons inside the laser zone must wear protective glasses specifically designed for
use with the wavelength of the laser irradiation indicated or else they must remove
themselves from the laser zone for the duration of operations carried out with open laser
ray.
The protective glasses must conform to the degree of protection predicted for the exit power of the
laser in question.
Before using the protective glasses for the laser, check carefully that the glasses do not have any
obvious defects. Any exchange of protective glasses with others which may look the same is
dangerous, in that the protective effect of the filter is only effective within a limited field of the
wavelength. Protective glasses commonly used with CO2 lasers are no longer effective, for example,
against the radiation produced by Nd-YAG lasers.
The skin can take significantly more radiation than the eye. However, it too is subject to the risk of
the destruction of tissue through burning according to exposure time and intensity of radiation.
Special protective clothing must be worn to protect the skin.
The high exit power of the Class 4 laser can burn a large quantity of different materials and
therefore, when the ray is open, special fire measures must be taken.
Paper (wiring diagrams, notes or posters hung on the walls), curtains not coated with anti-
inflammatory substances, thin wooden panels and similar materials may all take fire easily on
direct or reflected radiation.
Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W page 27
The operations area of the laser ray must not contain containers with solvent substances
or potentially explosive or inflammable detergents even in the course of maintenance.
In the event that solvents and detergents are used, all warnings must be observed and
respected!
Should the laser ray not visible at high intensity inadvertently strike one of such containers
it could perforate it and immediately create conditions for a fire to break out or explosion
to take place.
3.19 Use of a laser device in accordance with the stipulations governing the prevention
of accidents
In Italy, in accordance with the accident prevention standards governing the use of laser equipment,
the Institute of Insurance against Accidents in the Workplace and the Inspectorate of Employment
must be notified the first time the machine is set to functioned.
Any use of the machine in other Countries must observe any corresponding accident prevention
standards in force.
For the use of the Laser Generator (Class 4 laser device), the Company must nominate a person
in writing who is expert in matters of safety of laser devices, and has the function prescribed in the
standards in force in the Country of use. For Italy the functions of the Personnel assigned to
laser safety are set out in the guides CEI 1284G and 1381G. For Class 1 laser devices, such
personnel only has to be present when the user is carrying out maintenance operations or for
assistance in the presence of non protected radiation.
This means that the user has shut off all safety switches or activated the key operated switch to
shut off safety devices.
The personnel assigned to laser safety must have the required knowledge to evaluate
and check the risks caused by the laser and has the responsibility to supervise the checking
of these risks.
The person assigned to laser safety assumes total responsibility for the safe use of a laser
device and the necessary protective measures required including those involving the
safety and integrity of the personnel assigned to its use.
The training of personnel assigned to laser safety must be guaranteed by an appropriate form of
training by the Constructor of the Laser Generator or by Companies with the required authorisation
(for example Companies Insuring against Accidents in the Work Place).

8.0 Start up and use
8.1 Tests and checks to be carried out before starting up the machine
Before the machine is consigned to the Client it is carefully assembled and subjected to a breaking-
in period to ensure that all the mechanical moving parts function perfectly. Before starting up the
machine it will be necessary for some rounds to be carried out slowly to check that the machine is
moving correctly according to the cycle described in the block diagram in Point 8.5.
Attention! If the machine is already tooled and the wire is threaded-in, proceed as indicated
in Point 9.3 with great care so as not to damage the equipment.
The machine has been provided with an electronic speed regulator on the panel of fig.17 located at
the front of the machine.
The controls on the front panel of fig.17 are the following:
After the machine has been connected to the electricity and pneumatic supply as indicated at
Points 6.5 and 6.6, open the compressed air cock no. 2 (fig.12), turn the machine on by means of
the general switch no.1 (fig.17) and check that the emergency button no.4 (fig. 17) has been released.
Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise very slowly to effect a few complete rounds of
the cam shaft and check that the machine cycle described at Point 8.5 is phased properly.
page 40 Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W
Attention!
If the machine has been equipped with the wire already threaded in, before manually activating
the handwheel, check that the chain has been threaded correctly into the coil protruding
from the spiral unit or held by the pincers, that the electronic wire tensioner is ON (side LED lit up
and not flashing), that the switch no. 10 (fig.17) is set to position ON and that the switches nos. 8
and 9 (fig.17) are set to position ON if a double or triple chain has been mounted. After this manual
check which must be carried out with the safety guard up, lower the safety guard, set the
potentiometer no.7 (fig.17) to minimum speed and then start the machine by pressing the start
button no. 3 (fig.17). Gradually turn the potentiometer no.7 (fig.17) until the machine is working at
the desired speed. In the event that the machine should not start up, check the calibration of the
chain sensor as indicated in Point 9.12.
• By setting the general switch to the OFF position, switch no. 1 (fig. 17).
This operation shuts off all the feeds and stops all moving parts of the machine.

8.5 Machine cycle
When rotating, the link formation shaft moves the pin no. 2 ( fig. 26) which winds the wire around
itself to form a spiral which, at each turn of the machine, takes a coil out of the spiral unit no. 5 ( fig.
26).
This coil is taken by the pincers no. 4 (fig.36), cut by the knives nos. 1 and 2 (fig.36) and separated
from the spiral.
The pincers now move back and take the coil to closure position inside the façons no. 1 (fig.39)
which close in and press the two open ends of the coil within their impressions to make a closed
link.
The pincers no. 4 (fig.36) then rotate ( rightwards or leftwards ) to give twisting and yield to the link.
After this the façons open and the pincers rotate and move forward to link threading position.
The link will now be centred perpendicular to the coil protruding from the spiral unit.
At this point of cycle ( if the machine is connected to a Laser Generator ) the machine sends
the signal for the laser shot and therefore for the welding of the two closed ends of the link.
As soon as, after a new turn, the link is threaded by the spiral, the pincers open and move back to
let the chain fall onto the next coil, and the cycle then repeats.

button (3 fig.17) to operate the machine at reduced speed which may not be adjusted by the operator.
In the course of these operations the mechanical maintenance personnel (MM) must
take the greatest care to avoid hands or fingers being crushed or trapped by moving
parts of machinery.
When working with upper protection guards (2 fig.13) open, protective safety glasses
must be worn at all times in the event of accidental breakages of parts of equipment.
Attention! This also applies even if mechanical parts are being moved manually
by means of the handwheel.

9.2 Assembly of spiral unit
Insert cylindrical part of spiral no. 1 (fig. 25) into the bed of the support no. 2 (fig. 25) and turn the
opening of the spiral channel upwards so that the front is parallel to the machine level. Block in this
position, assemble the cover no. 3 (fig. 25) and fix with the two screws no. 4 (fig. 25).

Load the wire bobbin onto the support pin provided no. 1 (fig. 25b) at the rear of the machine, taking
care that the wire winds on clockwise. Do not fix the internal end of the wire to the bobbin while
winding wire onto the bobbin as the wire could tense up at the end of winding between bobbin and
spiral unit, causing possible damage to equipment and the electronic wire tightener. Provisionally
assemble the knurled pawl no. 1 (fig. 26) on to the pin no. 2 (fig. 26) and block with the dowel no. 3
(fig. 26). Loosen the stop ring nuts no. 5 (fig. 25) and unscrew until they can be moved right along
to the left. With the help of a pair of small pincers, bend the end of the wire to form a hook small
enough to fit inside the spiral unit no. 4 (fig. 26). Insert into the first opening of the spiral unit with the
opening of the hook facing the operator and at the same time insert the pin into the pin support shaft
until it can be hooked on to the wire. Manually rotate the pin in the direction of winding on
(anticlockwise) and keep the pin pressed down inwards all the time and rotate until the pin has
been completely covered by the wire and is just showing above the spiral unit. The wire should be
kept slightly tight during manual rotation of the pin in order to make the operation easier to carry out.
The pin should then be locked in position with the dowel no. 6 (fig. 25). Pass the wire through the
transmissions provided: wire tightener lever wheel no. 2 (fig. 25b) and wire return wheel no. 1 (fig.
25c) and turn on the electronic wire tightener. Use the knurled knob of the tightener no. 3 (fig. 25b)
to regulate the tension of the wire in accordance with the diameter of the latter to ensure it has been
tightened sufficiently and guarantee correct winding onto the pin.

Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise, carry out 5 or 6 complete machine cycles to create
uniform winding on of wire onto the pin, taking care to stop the cycle in the max. forward position of
the pin. This position can be inferred by the position of the flat spring no. 7 (fig. 25) on the tooth of
the pin support shaft no. 8 (fig. 25). In this position check that the stop lever no. 1 (fig. 25a) is
positioned onto the respective tooth of the pin support shaft no. 2 (fig. 25a).
Should this not take place, lever no. 1 (fig. 25a) should be regulated in the following way:
• remove the left protection guard, loosening the two screws fixing it in place
• check that the machine cycle is in the abovementioned position and if not, manually set to this
position
• keep the roller no. 12 (fig. 25) right up against the respective cam on the toothed sector and
adjust the fastening screws no.13 (fig. 25) to block the lever no. 11 (fig. 25) after it has been
inserted into the tooth of the pin support shaft no. 2 (fig. 25a).
• reassemble the left protection guard.
Now adjust the ring nuts no. 5 (fig. 25) setting the beat against the surface of the support no. 2 (fig.
25) and close the one against the other with the keys provided.
A pre-load of around 15° should guarantee the wire adheres to the pin.
page 48 Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W
9.5 Regulation of protrusion of the pin
Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise to complete a full cycle of the machine and stop when
the flat spring engages with the pin support shaft no. 8 (fig. 25) which corresponds to the max.
forward position of the pin.
Loosen the fastening dowel no. 6 (fig. 25). Manually rotate the pin and move to radial position so
that the axis of the first complete link outside the spiral unit is parallel to the axis of the intake pincer
as illustrated in fig. 27.
In this position the end of the pin should protrude from the spiral unit so as to hold one loop (around 1 x
ø wire) as illustrated in fig. 27a. Block the pin in this position with the fastening dowel no. 6 (fig. 25) and
adjust the position of the knurled pawl no. 9 (fig. 25) setting the beat axially on the rear ring nut of the pin
support shaft. Ensure the reference marks coincide exactly and tighten the dowel no. 10 (fig. 25). This
operation allows the pin to be set back to exactly the same position after any eventual dismantling and
can also be used for reference purposes for eventual corrections.

Assembly and regulation of rotating pincers 9.6
Assemble the pincers no. 1 (fig. 28) onto the pincer supports no. 2 (fig. 28) taking care to note the
reference marks punched onto the pincer supports. The left pincer is assembled onto the point
with 1 reference mark. The right pincer is assembled at the point where there are two reference
marks. Block the pincers by tightening the screws no. 3 (fig. 28), taking care to ensure they have
been inserted right into the end of the socket. Check that the reference mark on the rear part of the
wedge no. 4 (fig. 33) is facing upwards. Assemble the pincer support onto the rotating sleeve with
the reference marks facing upwards (see fig.28), insert pin no. 4 (fig.28) and check that pincer
facings correspond exactly when closed. Assemble and tighten the block screw for the pin no. 5
(fig. 28).

Particular care must be taken with the positioning of the link formation units and rotating pincer to
ensure that the pincers can close the loop without moving it as illustrated in fig. 29.
To carry out this operation, adjust the axial translation of the link formation unit no. 1 (fig. 30),
loosening the screws no. 2 and adjusting the adjustment screw no. 3 through the hole provided on
the left protection guard, until the pin has moved into the centre of the axis of the rotating pincer
(open) as illustrated in fig. 29.

The vertical position of the rotating pincer unit must be regulated by loosening the block screws no.
1 (fig. 31) and adjusting the vertical adjustment screw no. 1 (fig. 32) until the pincers take up the
loop right in the centre (see fig. 27). Adjust the screw no. 5 (fig. 33), to regulate the forward position
of the rotating pincer so that the pincer impressions correspond to the link of the spiral (see fig. 29).
Adjust the end forward course screw no. 2 (fig. 32) against the flange of the sleeve. The rotating
pincers with wire impressions must be regulated so that they almost close when the wire is not
inserted (pincer surfaces almost touching - see fig. 28). This operation can be carried out by
adjusting the adjustment nut no. 1 (fig. 33) which, once adjusted, should be stopped by the lock nut
no. 2. During the loop intake phase the pincers should be open and at a distance of 1.5 ÷ 2 x
diameter of wire from each other. This distance should be regulated by adjusting the adjustment
screw no. 3 (fig. 33). After insertion the pincers open to release the link. During this phase the
distance between pincer facings should be 2 ÷ 2.5 x the diameter of the wire. This adjustment can
be carried out by lightly loosening the nuts nos. 2 and no. 3 (fig. 34), and adjusting screw no. 1
which acts directly on the pin of the cam in question as required.

During the loop intake phase, the degree of inclination of the pincers must follow that of the spiral.
This can be achieved by adjusting the small block no. 2 (fig. 31) located on the side of the rotating
pincer, after loosening the screws no. 4 (fig. 31). Correct positioning of the link formation unit and
the rotating pincer unit as well as accurate angular position and opening of pincers allow the loop to
be taken up without moving the latter. The remaining adjustments of the rotating pincer unit are
dependent on the regulation of the facons unit and will therefore be described at a later stage in the
text.

9.7 Assembly and regulation of cutting unit
Insert the horizontal knife no. 1 (fig.35) into the socket provided and position axially in correspondence
to the loop as indicated in fig. 36, provisionally blocking it with the screws no. 2 (fig. 35). Regulate
the angular position by means of the screw no. 4 (fig. 34) to allow it to move freely into the space
between the loops. Looking at the knife from the right side of the machine, regulate the vertical
position so that the cutting edge is centred in the middle of the spiral as indicated in fig. 37. Block in
position by tightening the screws no. 2 (fig. 35).

Cut the loop with the cutter right outside the spiral unit. Insert the vertical knife (1 fig.38) into the
socket provided on the support (2 fig.38) and block with the screws no.3 after positioning it vertically
so that it rests on the flat surface of the horizontal knife (1 fig.36), as indicated in fig.37. To facilitate
this operation the vertical knife support (2 fig.38) should be placed provisionally over the horizontal
knife by loosening the screws (4 fig.38) fixing it in position. Bring the vertical knife unit over to the
right again so it does not interfere with the loop. Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise to
make a loop. Position the vertical knife by moving its support (2 fig.38) so that the impressions of
the two knives form a perfect semi-circle around the wire as indicated in fig. 36. Block the unit in
this position by tightening the screws (4 fig.38). Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise and
check that the spiral does not touch the knives when it rotates and adjust the screw (5 fig.34) so
that the horizontal knife moves just enough to cut the wire.

The pinpoint adjustment of the position of the knife unit in respect to the loop can be made by acting
on the adjustment screw (6 fig.34), after loosening the two screws (8 fig.38), checking the movement
of the spiral between the knives and the correct cutting of the wire.

The corrector (5 fig.38) counteracts the thrust produced by the cutting of the link and pushes the
upper part downwards to aid closure.
The machine can still function well without the help of the corrector which could also be assembled
after all tooling and setting operations. Assemble the corrector (5 fig.38) into the socket provided on
the pincer (6 fig.38) and position so it comes alongside the upper part of the loop as indicated in
fig.36 and 37a. Block in this position by tightening the screws (7 fig.38). Manually rotate the handwheel
anticlockwise and check that its movement does not interfere with that of the upper blade during
the cutting operation (1 fig.38). If necessary bend it lightly to adapt its function.

Assembly and regulation of facons unit 9.8
Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise, bring the rotating pincers as far back as they will go
(towards the operator) so they do not interfere with the facons unit. Before assembling the facons,
the facon support pincers must be dismantled (2 fig.39) from the unit after removing the pins (4
fig.39). Preliminarily loosen the screws (5 fig.39) and rotate the pin holder washers (12 fig.39).
Assemble the facons (1 fig.39) onto the facons support pincers (2 fig.39) ensuring they slot right
into the end of the socket and block in position by tightening the screws (3 fig.39). Reassemble the
pincers onto the support, insert the pins (4 fig.39) and block with washers (12 fig.39) and respective
screws (5 fig.39). Use a magnifying glass to check that the impressions on the facons match
perfectly when the facons are closed. At this point the unit should be adjusted provisionally so
that the axis of the facons coincides with the rotating axis of the pincers as indicated in fig. 40. To
make this adjustment, loosen the two rear screws (7 fig.34) which block the unit and the front
screw (6 fig.39). Adjust the pinpoint adjustment screw (7 fig.39) to regulate the transversal position
of the unit with the help of a magnifying lens until the axis of the closed facons coincides with the
axis of the closed pincers. The vertical position of the facons unit must be adjusted provisionally
before loosening the front screw (8 fig.39), by means of the pinpoint adjustment screw (9 fig.39) so
that the axis of the impressions on the facons coincides with the axis of the pincers. The
abovementioned regulations should then be checked with the formation and closure of a link. The
closure of the facons must be preliminarily regulated by means of the screw (10 fig.39) so that they
press lightly against each other on closure. Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise and
complete the phases of loop intake and cut and move the rotating pincers to the link closure phase
of the facons. Use the screw (6 fig.33) at this point to regulate the position of the rotating pincers so
that the link (still open) held by the pincers enters perfectly into the impressions of the facons.
Manually continue to complete the cycle and the facons will close the link. Once the facons have
closed, move the cycle slightly back by rotating the handwheel clockwise until the facons have
partially opened so that, with the help of an appropriate form of magnification, the closure on the link
can be checked. Should you note any malformations, burrs or maladjustments of the latter, correct
the adjustments by means of the screws (6 fig.33), (7 and 9 fig.39) or the vertical position of the
wire cutter. If necessary repeat these operations several times, taking care to remove the link from
the pincers each time and opening the pincers manually by means of the lever (8 fig.33).

9.9 Regulation of torsion and insertion phases
After ascertaining that the settings for link closure as described in paragraph 8.8 ensure the link
has closed satisfactorily, manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise and the rotating pincers will
rotate about 90° to give torsion (right or left) and yield to the link. The machine has been equipped
with a rapid action manually operated mechanism which allows the position of the switch plate
(1 fig.40a) located under the rack of the sleeve rotation console to be adjusted manually for production
of left or right curb chain.
Fig.40a illustrates the manner in which the switch plate should be positioned for right torsion of
the link for the production of right curb chain. This positioning of the switch plate (1 fig.40a) engages
the lever for rotation to the right (2 fig.40a) of the sleeve / rotating pincers controlled by the two-part
cam no.3 (fig.44).
Fig.40b illustrates the position the switch plate should be set to for left torsion of the link for the
production of left curb chain. This positioning of the switch plate (1 fig.40b) engages the lever for
rotation to the left (3 fig.40b) of the sleeve / rotating pincers controlled by the two-part cam no.4
(fig.44). The lever for rotation to the right (2 fig.40b) must in this case be blocked in the set position
by assembly of the locking plate provided with the machine. To change the position of the switch
plate (1 fig.40a), unscrew the conical point block screw (4 fig.40a) and rotate manually for 90°
either clockwise or anticlockwise to engage the lever corresponding to the desired direction of
torsion. Tighten the block screw (4 fig.40a) in the new position, ensuring that the conical point
enters the positioning niche on the plate rotation pin. Correction of the angle of torsion of the link
can be made by means of the adjustment screw (5 fig.40a) for right torsion and by means of the
screw (6 fig.40a) for left torsion. The angle of torsion on the link should be about 90°. Correct angle
torsion can only be checked on production of a piece of chain long enough for quality to be checked,
which means that this regulation will usually be readjusted after chain production has commenced.
During torsion, to obtain satisfactory link closure the link held by the rotating pincers should be
guided and pressed against the facons (link closure pliers). The thrust is usually produced by the
rotating pincers / sleeve in the final phase of torsion and must be maintained up until the facons
begin to open. The movement that generates the thrust on the link is produced by the cam no.9
(fig.44) which controls the shaft (9 fig.33). The thrust on the link is regulated by screwing in or
unscrewing the screw (12 fig.33). To obtain satisfactory closure the yield on the link at end torsion
should also be regulated by accurate adjustment of the small block (1 fig.40c) on the respective
sleeve rotation control cam. Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise and the machine cycle
will completely open the facons while the pincers rotate and move forward to take the link to the
position for insertion. This position of the link can be regulated by means of the screw provided (13
fig.33). The insertion must be carried out so that the loop coming from the spiral unit inserts the link
held by the rotating pincers exactly in the centre without any interference.
Once insertion has been completed the cycle ends with the opening of the rotating pincers and
release of the chain link which remains attached to the last loop to come from the spiral unit. The
flat spring (7 fig.25) and stop lever (1 fig.25a) engage with the respective teeth on the pin support
shaft (2 fig.25a). The machine is now ready to begin a new cycle.

9.10 Check and regulation of lubrication
The machine has been equipped with a force feed lubrication system by means of a gear pump
with flow rate of 0,9 litres at 1500 revolutions/min controlled by the drive shaft.
The lubrication system consists of flexible nylon tubing, which cross special holes drilled into the
structure of the various units to reach all mechanical parts needing continuous lubrication.
The lubrication circuit has been equipped with an overpressure valve which offloads into the oil
tank in the aluminium base.
On the left side of the tank cover, in an easy-to-access position, there are four flow regulators
(nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
• The flow regulator 1 (1 fig.40a) regulates the quantity of lubricant reaching the lever pins, the pin
of the sector gear, the control rods and the slide supporting the compressed air blows.
• The flow regulator 2 (2 fig.40a) regulates the quantity of lubricant reaching the distributor on the
cams and the pincer support of the facon unit.
• The flow regulator 3 (3 fig.40a) regulates the quantity of lubricant reaching the sleeve / rotating
pincers unit and the wire roller on which the wire is lubricated before entering the spiral unit.
• The flow regulator 4 (4 fig.40a) regulates the quantity of lubricant reaching the cut unit and the
pin support shaft of the spiral unit.

Fig.40a Fig.40b
Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W page 59
Through the flow regulator 3 (3 fig. 40a) it is possible to reduce the quantity of lubricating oil
towards the rotating pincers / sleeve assembly. This regulation may be useful when double chains
are processed using the compressed air nozzles, as the latter may cause nebulisation and dispersion
of lubricating oil inside the safety cover when too much lubricating oil is used..
Completely change the lubricating oil every 6 months with the oil recommended at Point
11.5. Drain the oil through the special hole provided by unscrewing the plug (2 fig.40b) on the right
side of the base.
During this operation remove any fragments of precious metal, which may have deposited during
the machine function, by thoroughly cleaning and washing the oil tank.
Remove the net filter on the oil suction pipe and wash it thoroughly. Replace it if necessary.
The quantity of lubricant necessary for changing the oil is of approx. 2,5 litres.
The waste oil should be disposed of according to the indications of Point 13.1.
We recommend that the level of the oil in the tank and the presence of oil flow on all
moving parts be checked visually on a daily basis through the special level indicator (1 fig.40b)
located at the right side of the base.

9.11 Function and regulation of compressed air blow
The machine has been equipped with a series of two compressed air nozzles (1 and 2 fig.42a).
The two nozzles linked to the pneumatic system are controlled by two solenoid valves (14 and 15
fig.33) on the front of the machine which receive the signal to open from two optical sensors (1
fig.41) activated by the disks (2 and 3 fig.41) on the cam shaft. The function of the compressed air
blow is to facilitate the insertion of the link onto the loop of the next when the space for insertion is
required. This is usually noted in the production of multiple link chains or chains which are particularly
dense. The compressed air blow can be inserted or removed by activating the respective switches
(8 and 9 fig.17) on the front panel in fig.17.
The latter must only be used according to the type of chain to be produced and when indispensable.
1) The production of single chain does not require the use of air blow. If necessary the air blow A
(1 fig.42a) controlled by the disk (2 fig.41) and solenoid valve (15 fig.33) can be used to ease
separation of link from the pincers and aid insertion into the loop during insertion. Regulation of the
amount of air from the nozzle can be achieved by adjusting the adjustment dowel (3 fig.42a) on the
end of the nozzle support. The diameter of the air exit nozzle must be proportional to the size of
chain assembled on the machine. Usually a diameter of 0.8 mm adapts well to a medium small
range (e.g. 0.15 – 0.35). During setting the air blow A (1 fig.42a) may be turned off by setting the EV-
A switch (8 fig.17) to OFF (led (11 fig.17) off). The nozzle should be right next to the profile of the link
intake pincers and must not interfere with the rotation of the latter. The nozzle can be positioned by
means of the joints and block screws on the unit itself (see fig. 22). The chain on which the air blow
is directed should move towards the knife unit. The air blow should start as soon as the rotating
pincer returns from torsion and should continue until insertion and intake have been completed.
2) The same applies for production of double chain. The nozzle should be positioned so that it
pushes the free link of the chain as far forward as possible towards the spiral, leaving the maximum
space possible for insertion.
1 5 7 6
Fig. 41

2 3 4
Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W page 61
The downwards movement of the chain is deviated to the left by means of the adjustable hook
provided (1 fig.42b). This facilitates pincer intake of the link and creates sufficient space for this
operation, facilitating forward movement of the free link during insertion.
When regulating the hook by means of the screws (2 and 3 fig.44b), take care that the latter do not
interfere with the forward movement of the facons support unit.
3) For the production of triple chain proceed as for double chain with the addition of lateral blow (2
fig.42a), controlled by the solenoid valve (14 fig.33) which in turn receives the signal from the disk
(3 fig.41). The function of this blow is to move the free links backwards during the facon closure
phase, thus avoiding any crushing or deformation of the former. Regulation of the quantity of air
from the lateral nozzle (2 fig.42a) is carried out by adjusting the flow regulator with a small screwdriver
(16 fig.33).
During setting the air blow B (2 fig.42a) can be turned off by means of the EV-B switch (9 fig.17)
which should be set to OFF.

9.12 Setting the chain sensor
The machine has been equipped with a chain sensor no. 1 (fig. 43) which stops the machine in the
event of fallen chain or single linking. The sensor should be regulated in accordance with the type
and dimensions of the chain assembled on the machine. Regulation is carried out as follows by
using a small screwdriver to adjust the screw no. 2 (fig. 43).
If the LED no. 3 (fig. 43) is on, turn the adjustment screw anticlockwise until the LED goes off. Then
turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the LED turns on and turn the screw another half round.
If the LED was off at the beginning of setting, complete the second half of regulation as described
above.
The sensor can be turned off by means of the switch no. 10 (fig. 17) on the control panel:
ATTENTION! When the sensor is at OFF it does not stop the machine in the event of falling
chain.
If LED no. 13 (fig. 17) is on this indicates that the sensor has intervened following falling chain or
single linking.
If the cause activating intervention of the sensor (falling chain, single linking, critical regulation) is
resolved, the LED does not memorise the signal and turns off.
A regulation with narrow setting margins (less than half a round of a screw turned clockwise
after the LED has come on during setting) could cause machine stoppages which are not
visualised on the LED no. 13 (fig.17).

Replacing the wire spool 9.13
In case the wire spool should need replacing because the size of the wire has changed or has
finished, proceed as follows:
• Use a cutter to cut the wire entering the spiral unit and remove the spool from the support pin no.
1 (fig.25b).
• By means of the knurled knob no. 9 (fig.25), manually rotate the pin in the winding direction (anti-
clockwise) until the remaining wire comes completely out of the spiral unit.
• Loosen the dowel no. 6 (fig.25) and extract the pin until it can be removed from the spiral unit.
• Place the new wire spool onto the special support pin no. 1 (fig.25b), checking that it rotates
clockwise when the wire unwinds, and then follow instructions at point 9.3 without loosening the
limit stop ring nuts no. 5 (fig.25) which have already been adjusted during the machine tooling and
setting operations.

Regulation for the production of cable chain (rolo chain) 9.15
The operations required for this regulation must be carried out after the machine
has been disconnected from the mains supply and after the pneumatic system
has been blown down by means of the rapid discharge valve provided (2 fig.
12).
All safety measures detailed at the beginning of this chapter must also be
observed.
The SGUL/W machine can also produce single, double or triple cable (rolo) chain by using the two-
part cam provided code 620601 with the machine (See Point 2.3).
The Equipment and Mechanical chain recovery plate (PRC) or electronic chain recovery plate
(PRC/F) of the optionals available on request (See Point 11.3) should also be used.
Disconnect the machine from the mains supply and empty the pneumatic system by means of the
rapid discharge manually operated valve (2 fig.12).
Prepare the machine for right torsion of the link (rotation to the right of the sleeve / rotating pincers)
and position the switch plate (1 fig.40a) as illustrated in fig.40a according to the instructions detailed
in Point 9.9.
This positioning of the switch plate (1 fig.40a) engages the lever for rotation to the right (2 fig.40a)
of the sleeve / rotating pincers as for production of right curb chain.
As such, if the machine has been mechanically prepared for right torsion of the link or if the machine
has been mechanically prepared for the production of right curb chain as instructed in Point 8.9,
the regulatory operations of the machine for the production of cable chain can begin from here as
the switch plate (1 fig.40a) will already have been positioned as indicated above.
Dismantle the rear lever protection guard and manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise to
position the cam shaft to allow access from the rear of the machine for the two block screws on the
cam in 2/2 no.3 code 620762 (fig.44).
Dismantle the abovementioned cam in 2/2 no.3 from the cam shaft by unscrewing the two screws
blocking it onto the shaft.
Assemble the cam in 2/2 code 620763 (optional) in its place with the hub turned to the left (towards
the handwheel) and position axially so that the roller of the lever (2 fig.40a / 8 fig.34) is in the centre
of the course of the cam contour and provisionally block in position on the shaft by tightening the
two screws.
Set the angular position of the cam to set its timing and block on the shaft by tightening the two
screws.
Correct timing is achieved when the pincers gently rotate first to the left and then to the right
after link closure at the facons to give yield to the wire and straighten the link so that after the facons
have opened the wire will remain perfectly closed and level.
The machine cycle described in Point 8.5 will now carry out yield and straightening of the link during
torsion.
Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise to complete a few cycles of the machine completed
Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W page 65
by the forming of the loop at link insertion to check the above.
Reassemble the rear lever protection guard before checking all the screws are present and screwed
in correctly on the parts involved in the operation.
The machine may now be reconnected to the mains supply and pneumatic system and turned on
and prepared for tooling according to the instructions in Points 9.0 and 9.1.
Assemble the tooling for the production of (SGF/F) single cable chain, (SGF/F) double chain or
(SGF/T) triple chain according to the instructions in this chapter from Point 9.2 to Point 9.8.
Regulation of link yield can be carried out by adjusting the screw (5 fig.40a) used for altering pincer
rotation or wire yield.
Manually rotate the handwheel anticlockwise and the machine cycle will completely open the facons
while the pincers rotate and move forward to take the link to the position of insertion.
In this part of the cycle, shortly before insertion, use an appropriate form of magnification to check
the closure and form of the link which should appear as regular and level as possible.
The position of insertion can be adjusted by means of the screw provided (13 fig.33) as indicated at
Point 9.9.
Assemble the mechanical chain recovery plate (PRC) or electronical chain recovery plate (PRC/
F) onto the machine according to the instructions contained in the Manual for Use and Maintenance.

9.16 Assembly and regulation of the horizontal laser optics
To carry out these operations, safety rules for use of the Laser Generator set
out in Chapter 3 should be followed to the letter.
In particular, Safety Warnings of Point 3.2 must be followed.
Assembly of the laser beam fibre optics and connection to the peripheral
focusing optics must only be carried out after the machine and the Laser
Generator have been switched off.
Fix the laser optics unit support ( 2 fig. 48 ) to the machine base by means of the two screws ( 3 fig.
48 ).
Assemble the laser optics fastening plier ( 4 fig. 48 ) onto the support ( 2 fig. 48 ) by inserting the pin
with the screwed graduated ring nut ( 6 fig.48 ) into the hole to be found on the support; insert the
angular positioning pin of the plier ( 5 fig. 48 ) into the hole located between the heads of the two
angular adjustment dowels ( 8 and 9 fig. 48 ) after having loosened the security dowel if necessary
(9 fig. 48).
Put the neck of the vertical adjustment ring nut ( 6 fig.48 ) flat against the surface of the laser optics
unit support ( 2 fig.48 ) by pressing down the plier ( 4 fig.48 ); moderately tighten the dowel ( 7 fig.
48 ) regulating the braking pad located inside until the rotation of the ring nut is properly braked.
Put the security dowel ( 9 fig. 48 ) flat against the angular positioning pin ( 5 fig. 48 ).
Loosen the screw ( 10 fig. 48 ) and insert the cylindrical neck of the laser optics ( 1 fig. 48 ) into the
hole of the clamping collar by positioning the latter as illustrated in figure 48.

page 68 Fast machine for the production of universal curb chain mod. SGUL/W
Insert the laser beam fibre optics ( 11 fig.48 ) through the inlet sloping tube to be found at the back
of the fix metal protection.
Connect the fibre optics trailing ( 12 fig. 48 ) to the focusing optics ( 1 fig.48 ) by inserting it into the
special pipe fitting of the optics and manually screw down the hexagonal ring nut ( 13 fig.48 ).
During these operations, the operator will handle the laser beam fibre optics ( 11 fig.48 ) with great
care and will not touch anything with the fibre head so as to avoid causing any damages or
dirtying the fibre head.
Cleaning and surface finishing of the head surface of the laser beam fibre optics are essential
conditions for the connection which should be carried out with the utmost of care so as not to
compromise perfect function of the laser welding system.
Position the machine cycle to welding point, at the end of the facon opening after the link closure
and twisting phase.
Turn on the Laser Generator and switch SHUTTER selector to position OFF to activate the emission
of the red beam.
Let the cylindrical neck of the laser optics ( 1 fig.48 ) slide into the hole of the loosened clamping
collar ( 4 fig.48 ), and regulate the optics focus ( red spot ) so that it is exactly onto the welding point
of the link closure. Slightly tighten the screw ( 10 fig.48 ) of the collar to block the optics in position.
• Regulation of the optics vertical position is obtained through the graduated adjustment ring nut (6
fig.48 ).
When this regulation is carried out, the angular positioning pin of the plier ( 5 fig.48) should be
allowed to move freely on the vertical plane and therefore the security dowel ( 9 fig.48 ) should be
loosened.
• To carry out the optics angular regulation, properly adjust the two opposing dowels ( 8 and 9
fig.48 ) so that the red spot of the beam is focused exactly on the welding point of the link closure.
On completion of regulation, block the position of the reference dowel ( 8 fig.48 ) by tightening the
respective locknut. All this to ensure quick repositioning of the optics after disassembly.
On completion of regulations, before starting up the machine, manually rotate very slowly the
handwheel anticlockwise to check that the focusing optics ( 1 fig.48 ) does not interfere at all
with any moving mechanical component positioned in the immediate vicinity ( corrector tool,
corrector tool support connecting rod, facons ).
The red beam emitted by the laser source is visible but is not dangerous for human eye. The
operator is anyway recommended not to observe it for long periods, since it may cause glare as
indicated in the Safety warnings at Point 3.18.

9.16.1 Assembly and regulation of the vertical laser optics ( Optional )
To carry out these operations, safety rules for use of the Laser Generator set
out in Chapter 3 should be followed to the letter.
In particular, Safety Warnings of Point 3.2 must be followed.
Assembly of the laser beam fibre optics and connection to the peripheral
focusing optics must only be carried out after the machine and the Laser
Generator have been switched off.
Fix the unit support to the machine base by means of the 2 M5 screws.
Assemble the laser optics (1 fig.48a) onto the support (2 fig.48a) and position the square part at
approx. 1 mm from the support (2 fig.48a): slightly tighten the clamping screws (3 and 4 fig.48a) so
as to manually move the optics.
Point the optics towards the welding point and check that the optics does not interfere physically
with the other mechanical parts. Focus on the welding point by loosening the two dowels (5 fig.48a)
and tighten the screws (3, 4, 5 fig.48a).
Carry out the millimetric centring through the regulations (6 and 7 fig.48a) with the machine stopped

Regulation of the sensor for laser shot 9.17
To carry out this regulation, safety rules for use of the Laser Generator set out
in Chapter 3 should be followed to the letter.
In particular, Safety Warnings of Point 3.2 must be followed.
The machine has been equipped with a ring (1 fig.49) which transmits to the Laser Generator the
signal to shoot by exciting a sensor (2 fig.49).
This signal must coincide with the beginning of the welding dwell (downward end of course of the
twisting rack / end of pincer rotation).
Any regulation to anticipate or postpone the laser shot, must be carried out by slightly rotating
clockwise or anticlockwise the ring (1 fig.49) after having loosened the security dowel on the latter.
Screw down the security dowel on completion of the regulation.
Whenever the sensor is excited, the red LED (3 fig.49) located on the sensor comes ON.
Any air blow for chain positioning must be stopped during the welding phase so as not to
compromise the results of the operation.
