1. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The LCD will illuminate and display:
AZCO CUTTER
SETUP? 1-Y 2-N
Step through the setup by pressing the letter or number that the screen asked for or press C to re-start. If you have a special option included you will need to read the ADVANCED SET UP pages also. If this fault is shown when starting:
ALL PARAMETERS
MUST BE RESETUP
It means a memory error occurred. The CPU will reset all parameters to their defaults. Press any key to go to the advanced set up menu (see ADVANCED SET UP section).
If the display reads:
CYCLE PAUSES
1 - CONT. 2- ABORT
It means that the previous cycle is not finished. Press 1 to continue the previous cycle.
Press 2 to abort the cycle. The [###} number shown in the brackets is how many pieces are left from the previous cycle.
2. CONTINUE CUTTER SETUP:
a) If the machine is operating in COUNTER or ONE SHOT mode, advance the display to read:
SET CUT LENGTH:
[###] (unit)
Key in the length of one piece, either in inches or in milli-meters. (see ADVANCED SETUP section to change). Maximum length you can cut varies depending on the mechanical gearing. After the length is entered Press "E". For example, to cut a 1 inch piece, the number entered should be 001.00; for 100 inches, the number should be 100.00. The decimal point will not change.
b) For machines set up to work in EYE and ONE SHOT WITH EYE mode, advance the display to read:
SET CUT OFFSET:
[###] (unit)
The cut offset means the roller advances the web for an offset length, after the eye detects the registration mark It is necessary because the position of the mark, eye and blade cannot be the same. The distance from the blades edge to the eye mark is this offset. Then enter the value and continue by pressing E.
SEARCH OFFSET:
[###] (unit)
The search offset value helps the machine controller ignore any false photo-eye signals between registration marks. Always put in a distance less than the webs repeat and
SET MAX LENGTH:
[###] (unit)
NOTE: for normal operation, the Search offset should be bigger than the Cut offset, or the motor may not accelerate to high speed.
The maximum length means the maximum the material will go if the eye mark is not detected by the register eye. This can prevent the material over run in case the eye mark or registration eye were not set correctly. Enter the value and continue by pressing E.
3. FOR ALL MODES
The next display is: TOTAL PIECES:
[###] (pieces)
Key in number of pieces, then press "E" to enter the amount, or to cut to infinity enter "0" and the machine WILL NOT STOP.
4. The display then will show what you have entered:
Keep pressing "E" to scroll through the stored data.
a) For COUNTER mode: [#####] C [####] p
E--RUN CYCLE
c is the length : p is total pieces
b) For EYE mode: EYE-MODE [####]p
E--RUN CYCLE
c) For ONE SHOT mode: [#####] a [####J p
E--RUN CYCLE
o is length : p is total pieces
d) For ONE SHOT WITH EYE MODE:
ONE+EYE [####]p
E--UN CYCLE
5. When the machine is running the following messages occur
1) General message (in all modes):
ACCU: [########]
PIECE:[####]
ACCU: is the total accumulated pieces since you reset the (see ADVANCED SETUP section), it is not the current cycle accumulation. PIECE is how many pieces are left in the current cycle.
If the bottom line display: CYCLE RUNNING
which means the cycle will go infinity pieces.
2) Wait for one shot signal (only in ONE SHOT mode)
WAIT INDEX SIGNAL
PIECE: [####]
3) Wait for one shot signal (in all modes)
WAIT KNIFE HOME
PIECE: [####]
4) Wait for product signal (optional):
WAIT PRODUCT
PIECE: [####]
5) Cover open alarm (optional):
COVER OPENED
[####] E-RESET
6) Knife home alarm (in all modes)
KNIFE NOT HOME
[####] E-RESET
7) No pmduct alarm (optional)
OUT OF PRODUCT
[####] E-RESET
8 ) Product jam alarm (optional)
PRODUCT JAM
[####J E-RESET
Whenever the screens listed in 5, 6 or 7 appear, the cycle will pause. The operator MUST fix the problem then press "E" to continue the cycle. (#) lists the pieces left in the cycle.
