The Encoder mode uses a scale factor to compensate for con-
figurations that differ from the standard (a measuring wheel
with a 1 foot circumference; a 3000 pulse encoder; and
English units of measure). The prescale value is set at the fac-
tory for your equipment and typical unit of measurement.
However, it may occasionally be necessary to adjust the
prescale value.
When you are satisfied with cut quality, press the Cut On/Off
SoftKey and ON is displayed, automatic operation begins.
When the extrudate is running within tolerance, cut it with a
knife or saw and feed it through the cutter bushings. Then
move the cutter into position with respect to the puller:
●
For flexible products,
the cutter should be very
close to the puller.
●
For more rigid products,
allow enough space
between the cutter and puller to absorb any shock
generated during cutting.
Press the Manual Cut button
and observe the
movement of the cutter blade. The cutter head makes a
single rotation and the blade moves through the cutter
bushings without interference.
Insert a piece of extrudate through the cut-
ter bushings.
Press the Manual Cut button.
A single cut is
made at the preset blade speed. NOTE: this works even if
Cut On/Off is off.
Inspect the cut.
If necessary, adjust the blade design
or blade speed.
