Roller pressure is adjusted by turning the knobs on the front of the machine labeled LEADING STRIP PRESSURE and
TRAILING STRIP PRESSURE. The goal is to achieve enough pressure to hold the wire and remove any insulation. Too
little pressure allows the wire to slip between the Feed Rollers. Slippage may cause incorrect “slug pull” dimension. Too
much pressure may result in wire not tracking straight through the machine. You may have to adjust the pressure a
couple of times to achieve the desired grip.
The Model 93 is now programmed to process your wire. You are now ready to run a sample wire and check for initial strip
quality. The following will assist you in processing your sample.

key to produce one complete sample wire to check for accuracy. If corrections are necessary for
anything but overall length, then select the corresponding key on the Control Panel and make your adjustments. If length
corrections are necessary then proceed to
LENGTH CORRECTION
.
LENGTH CORRECTION
The Model 93 has a Length Correct feature that allows the operator to make adjustments from the preprogrammed length
versus the actual sample length. Small variations are normal due to differences in material, tension, friction, wire diameter
etc. If the sample wire was not the correct length select the
LENGTH CORRECT
key for adjustments.

PLEASE ENTER
Measure the length of the sample wire produced; enter this value for length.
MEASURED WIRE LENGTH
Press
ENTER
. The
Model 93 will automatically calculate the correction necessary.
The
0.00
next sample should be the
exact length you programmed.
The possible range of correction is +/- 10% of the overall wire length. If a value outside of this range is entered an error
message will appear and display the acceptable range of values.
The length correct value may be changed multiple times but typically a single entry is all that is required if the sample wire
was measured accurately and the data entered correctly.
