SET-UP
The MMC100 is supplied with one fixed station-
ary blade and one moveable blade. Also included
are three Allen wrenches; 1/8”, 3/16” & 9/64”.
Caution: The MMC100 comes with the blades
completely installed. These blades are intended
for use on wire and tubing and are extremely
sharp. Caution must be used when removing or
installing either of these blades.
Place the unit on a sturdy workbench with the right
side exit chute even with the right side of the
bench. Short and long cut lengths will drop out
the right side of the exit chute. Material collection
bins can be placed to collect the cut material as it
exits. If using the DE700 (or any other tensioning
de-reeler) place the de-reeler to the left of the unit
at least 24” from the entrance. Refer to the de-
reeler’s operating instructions for further set up
details.
Insert the power cord into the IEC connector. Plug
the unit into the appropriate power supply using
the correct plug for the unit purchased. Use a prop-
erly grounded mains supply. The American plug
is for use on 110/120V 60Hz mains supply. The
European and United Kingdom plugs are for 220/
240V 50Hz mains supply. Connect clean, dry, com-
pressed air at 90 P.S.I..
Caution: Environmental conditions for proper op-
eration should be 50° F-104° F (10° C-40° C) and
30-75% relative humidity. The MMC100 should be
operated in a well-ventilated open workspace. This
machine may be effected by outside environmen-
tal disturbances. The unit is rated for continuous
use and is protected by one fuse located in the
IEC connector.
Caution: Safety glasses or other suitable eye pro-
tection should be worn when operating this unit.
OPERATION
Place the material to be cut on the de-reeler. Turn
the MMC100 on using the I/O switch on the side
of the unit. Do not turn the unit on and off repeat-
edly without waiting 5 seconds for the controller to
remove information correctly. Removing the guard
during a run is not recommended. It will stop the
stepper motor and the piece being processed will
not be of the correct length. If cutting long pieces
of material and the guard is opened and closed
before the end of the cycle the stepper motor will
resume feeding material. This piece will not be the
correct length and should be discarded.
Open the belt feed by turning the switch counter-
clockwise to disengage the belt feed. Rotate the
knobs on the front of the unit to open the guides
wide enough to accommodate the material being
cut. Feed the material through the guides until it
protrudes past the blades on the right side of the
unit. Make certain the material is between the two
sets of guides located on the left and right side of
the belt feed.
Turn the switch clockwise to close the belt feed
and engage the upper belt. Make certain the unit
is at the beginning of the batch. Press the cut
button twice to zero the machine. NOTE: The guil-
lotine blade will cut the material off at the blade.
When using the JOG or CUT keys this will place
the operator in the manual mode. In the manual
mode “MANUALC” will be displayed in the STA-
TUS area. This is a continuous jog function and
the length displayed is the actual length of mate-
rial moved. Pressing the CUT key will cut off the
length of material just transported. Press the ESC/
PAUSE key to return to the batch screen. If the
material does not feed it can be inserted manually
with the belt feed open.
The MMC100 is equipped with an out of material
sensor. From the factory this option is disabled. To
enable this option, use the following procedure.
From the “SELECT BATCH” screen, hit the edit
key twice. The display will read “WIRE SENSOR
1=Y 0=N”. Select 1 if you would like to use the sen-
sor and 0 if you would like to disable the sensor.
After selecting your option, press the <ENTER> or
<ESCAPE> key to return you to the “SELECT
BATCH” screen. The unit is now ready for program-
ming.
