Machine Maintenance
Regularly scheduled maintenance of the 3200PB unit reduces possible problems and downtime.
Proper care will also ensure a longer life and better performance of the machine.
Perform the following procedures to properly maintain the machine.
1. Clean the machine daily at the end of every shift.
A. Wipe all photo eye lenses with a clean, nonabrasive, dry cloth.
B. Use blow-off hose to get rid of excess lint, thread and other clippings.
2. Check air filters weekly; replace filter elements once every six months.
3. Lubricate the bearing block on the guillotine knife once every three months using
standard sewing head oil. The oiling hole is located on the top face of the bearing block, and it is
indicated by a red paint mark.
4. Apply Accrolube™ grease to the recessed cavity on the back side of the top blade side plate of the
guillotine knife. This will improve performance and extend the life of the blade.
Electric Eye Sensor Adjustment
To adjust the sensor, first remove the clear plastic
cover from the end of the sensor. There are two adjusting
screws under the cover. One is labeled “GAIN” and is used
to set the sensitivity of the sensor. The other screw is
labeled “DO & LO” and should always be fully clockwise.
With the end of the sensor pointing at the center of
the reflective tape, turn the “GAIN” screw counter-
clockwise until the red LED indicator is off. Then turn the
“GAIN” screw clockwise until the LED indicator comes
on. Then turn the “GAIN” screw one full turn clockwise.
The LED indicator should be blinking slowly. Cover the
eye so that the sensor cannot see the reflective tape and the
LED should go off.
Reflective Tape Maintenance
Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean it.
Avoid any contact with oils and liquids.
Do not touch the tape with bare fingers.
If tape is dirty or opaque, the eye may not function correctly.
