5. FUNCTIONING
5.1
OPERATORS
The machine has been projected to be used by only one
operator.
The staff assigned to operate on the machine, must be in
possession (or acquire through an adequate training) the
requirements indicated here below, and, in addition, to have
the knowledge of this handbook and of every information
concerning safety:
•
General and technical culture sufficient to comprehend
this handbook contents and understand properly
drawings and schemes
•
Knowledge of main sanitary, technological and anti-
accidental norms
•
Overall knowledge of line and plant where is inserted the
machine
•
Specific experience of frames assembly working
technologies
•
To know how operate in case of emergency, where to
find the individual protection means and how to use
them properly.
The Maintenance Men, in addition to the above mentioned
characteristics, must be in possession of an adequate
technical education.
5.2
FUNCTIONING DESCRIPTION
The only possible way of operating of the machine is the
manual mechanic functioning by using the foot pedal.
Press the foot pedal half way to get the frames clamping
Press the foot pedal full down to get the V-nail ejection.
To effect a junction, you must operate as follows:
1
Set the inserting positions by means of fence locking
clamps
2
Lean the mouldings on the working bench positioning
the fence on the first inserting point
3
Adjust the vertical clamp height and position
4
Press the foot pedal half way down and verify the proper
positioning and holding of the mouldings to be
assembled
5
Press the pedal full down to insert the V-nail. If you want
to insert 2 or more V-nails one upon the other in the same
position, you must release the pedal until half of its stroke
and then press again it full down to insert the second V-
nail and so on.
6
Release completely the foot pedal
7
Shift the mouldings and the fence on the next inserting
point and repeat the steps 5,6 and 7.
5.3
TIPS FOR PERFECT JUNCTIONS
a) V-nail types
In order to allow the machine to make excellent quality
junctions using different materials, it has been necessary
to manufacture different V-nails types for different uses.
V-nails can be classified in three different groups:
for soft woods and
soft plastic
Suggested V-nails code SW
for medium woods
Suggested V-nails code MW
for hard woods
Suggested V-nails code HW
b) Assembling positions
It is advisable to operate as follows in order to achieve the
best results in terms of junction quality:
⇒
Never drive V-nails near the junction vertex. The minimum
recommended distance from the external vertex is at least
10 mm.
⇒
When you want to make the junction using only one V-
nail, the most suitable position is in the middle of the
moulding.
⇒
In case you want to insert 2 or more V-nails into each
junction, we recommend you to insert the most external
one 1/3 from the external vertex and the most internal
one 1/4 from the internal vertex.
