Micron. The easy to use control panel with the accompanying foot pedal allows users to
quickly set up and make installations. Powerful enough to install large curtain grommets
into various materials, while having superb accuracy thanks to the laser light installed. This
machine can drastically increase the production of any workroom or production line that
it is placed in.

installations and to help troubleshoot problems you may face over the life of the machine.
Topics like constructing the table, changing dies and safety will be covered in an easily
digestible format for non-technical operators. Maintenance, repairs and replacing
components will be covered in a more technical manner but in great detail.
Setup Process Overview
During the initial setup of the MC-20, the machine’s table will have to be assembled. Then
the machine will have to be mounted and bolted onto the table. Once the MC-20 and its’
table are properly assembled, the dies will need to be installed. The approach to installing
the dies will vary slightly depending on the size and style of the fastener. You will need to
have a compressor ready to connect to the MC-20 with the hose that is provided. Next
plug the electrical cable into both the outlet and the machine. Ensure that the machine has
been switched on and the emergency stop button has not been depressed. Once these
steps are followed, the MC-20 will be ready for production.
