Warning!
Periodically check all safety device operations.
Do not remove fixed or mobile machine guards.
Do not introduce foreign objects or tools in the operating area and machine
operating area.

Although the machine is equipped with the abovementioned safety systems, some risks could not be eliminated but
were reduced by corrective measures implemented by the end user and correct operating procedures.

Following is a summary of residual machine risks during:


Normal operations.
Adjustments and fine tuning.
Maintenance.
Cleaning.

1.5.1 Collision and crushing

Do not access the product conveyance/movement area.


Do not access moving machine parts.
Before turning on electrical and pneumatic power supplies, make sure no maintenance is being performed
on the machine.
Residual pressure may be found in cylinders which could cause unexpected part movement during interventions.
Therefore, drain the pneumatic circuit and cut it off from the supply source using and pad locking the cut-off valve
before each intervention.
After maintenance and repairs, crushing risks persist due to unexpected movements in the direction opposite the
one required due to incorrect electrical wire or pipe connections. Therefore, run test movements in manual mode
for the parts involved, remembering to maintain safety distances from parts in motion.
In the event of a blackout, the roll pneumatic brake opens, whose pneumatic circuits are discharged causing the
roll to freely rotate for several seconds.
This situation is not hazardous to assigned personnel.

WRAPMASTER 1 - 17/24
1 - Safety
U0G00214

1.5.5 Burns and scalding

The machine is equipped with motors/gear motors that might determine a residual risk, due to the operating
temperature they might reach, according to the work cycles.
Usually for the motors/gear motors, the surface temperature is lower than the burning temperature.
Moreover, most of the motors installed on the machine/system are located within the perimetric protections.
However some motors/gear motors might reach temperatures above 50 C depending on the functional cycle and
the working environment temperature.

Anyway during the maintenance and cleaning operations there is still a hazard resulting from the thermal inertia of
the motors/gear motors of the machine/system, therefore we recommend to wait for their cooling. It is compulsory
to use appropriate protective equipment like gloves for high temperatures, etc..

Warning!
In case of maintenance operation following a previous energy disconnection, the
motor or the gear motor might accumulate residual thermal energy.
Wait for the disposal of that energy.
For further information, please refer to the manual of the motor/gear motor
supplier. Always use appropriate PPE (gloves for high temperatures), paying
particular attention to the residual energy.

The machine includes hot glue application devices. Therefore there is a residual risk due to the working temperature
of the glue applicator/pipe/gun unit.

During the normal operating cycle, glue guns are confined inside guards. The risk remains during the glue tank
filling phase on the applicator. Suitable protection devices should be worn during this operation (Gloves, goggles,
etc.).

A risk remains during maintenance and cleaning due to the heat inertia of the glue applicator and its components.
Therefore we suggest you wait until the system cools and wear the mandatory protection devices (Gloves,
goggles, etc.).

Warning!
Hot glue application devices require high temperatures for operations. Pay special
attention not to touch these devices with unsuitably protected body parts and
always wear a mask and goggles to protect your face when filling the glue tank or
changing glue.

1.5.6 Explosive atmosphere

1.5.7 Blinding

This risk is mainly present in the maintenance and cleaning phases.


Personnel must wear protective goggles when cleaning the machines.

Warning!
The use of eye protection is mandatory.

Warning!
We suggest you use vacuums instead of compressed air to avoid moving any
residue without removing it, also reducing the risk of blinding the operator.

Blinding risks persists during glue filling and changing phases.

Warning!
Hot glue application devices require high temperatures for operations. Pay special
attention not to touch these devices with unsuitably protected body parts and
always wear a mask and goggles to protect your face when filling the glue tank or
changing glue.

1.5.8 Falling, projecting objects

Avoid even temporarily leaving work tools and objects on and above the machine to prevent them from
falling or being projected.

1.5.9 Slipping

Any lubricant and/or glue residue leaks in areas around the machine or on work platforms can cause machine
personnel to slip.

Access these areas wearing non-slip shoes and keep these areas clean.

Warning!
It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine or parts of it to climb on or to access
to some machine parts; otherwise disastrous fall or damages to the machine might
occur.

1.5.10 Whiplash

Broken or damaged pneumatic and lubrication system flexible tubes can cause tube twists.
Tubes and their anchors must be periodically checked and replaced if necessary.
Using rigid or flexible pneumatic and hydraulic tubes as support bases for feet is strictly prohibited.

1.5.11 Tripping

Disorderly material storage in general can be a source of tripping hazards and fully or partially obstruct
escape routes in the event of need.
Guarantee that operating and transit sites and escape routes are free of obstacles and compliant with
current regulations.
Pay attention to yellow/black signals on any steps on machine platforms.

2.1 Presentation
The WRAPMASTER C140 machine is a packing machine which wraps paper reams in wrapping material
taken from a reel.
The machine has been designed and manufactured by a market leader in the paper-making industry and
high-technology solutions have been adopted in order to meet the most demanding user requirements.
Regardless of the type of service required for the machine, the quality of the C140 ensures that the reams are
handled in the best possible way at all times without being damaged. In addition, the quality of the pack produced
is of consistent good quality and the machine guarantees total reliability even in the long-term with a minimum
amount of maintenance.
The C140 machine perfectly fits the requirements of the entire production line due to its high degree of versatility both
regarding size change-over operations and speed variation in order to meet the needs of the production process.
All structural elements, connection and control parts are designed and built with a level of safety so as to resist
abnormal stresses or stresses higher than those indicated.
Best quality materials are used: their introduction in the company, their storage and use in the shop are constantly
monitored so as to ensure the absence of damages, deteriorations or malfunctions. Although design and structural
tactics have been adopted, it is essential to carefully follow the manufacturer instructions in order to ensure a proper
use, safety, durability and reliability of the machine.

2.2.1 General process description: Wrapping sheet infeed

The wrapping material on the roll 1 first passes through the de-curling unit 3 which straightens it out. It then
passes through a series of idle rollers and between dancing rolls 4 which keep it taut and ensure that it is
unwound in a regular manner without being torn.
A pair of unwinding rollers 5 carry the wrapping material. Cutter 6 then cuts the sheets. The length of the cut sheets
is suitable to wrap the reams.

The unwinding rollers push the sheet onto the vacuum belts 8, which receive the sheet correctly dimensioned to the
work size and move it to the tube formation area near the lift 15.
Glue 7 is applied on the cross flap when moving on the belts to close the tube. If the glue spreading system is installed
on the machine, the glue application nozzle 7 is in position 2 in front of the unwinding rollers 5. When processing
polypropylene, polythene coated or gummed paper, the glue units are inhibited.

2.2.2 General process description: Ream infeed

The cut ream is placed on the ream infeed conveyor belts 9 and is held there by the stop 10 which releases
it only when all the parts are timed.
The ream is pushed by the belts against a pair of toothed belts 11 which, moving at a lower speed than the
belts, slows it, permitting a pair of leveller teeth 12 to reach the ream and push it on the lift 15 against the front stop
14.
Once this has been done, two side compactors 13 position the ream in relation to the central machine axis.

2.2.3 General process description: Ream wrapping

Elevator 15 moves up bringing the ream against the counter-elevator 17 at the same height as the tube
formation zone. If the machine is equipped with the wrapping paper stop 16, the latter also comes into
contact with the ream and sheet of wrapping material during upward movement. While moving up, the
wrapping material is bent appearing as an upside down U and placed around the ream found between the fixed
18 and mobile 19 hopper. During this stage, the top corners of the package are formed.
Next, the two lower folders 21 close the sheet to form the tube around the ream. The mobile folders 22 move
forward folding the front and rear ends. The mobile hopper 19 lifts and the ream accelerator 20 starts to push the
ream before it arrives on the outfeed conveyor 23.
The outfeed drive teeth 23 push the ream forward against the lower 24 and upper 26 head flap blades.
Glue 25 is applied to close the end-flaps before the top flap is folded down.

2.2.4 General process description: Wrapped ream disc harge

Reams discharged onto compression belts


The product pushed by the pushers is placed between the side compression belts 27a that press the
end-flaps, closing the wrapping.
Reams discharged onto heated conveyor belts for polypropylene (Clear Wrap)
The product advanced by the pushers is placed between the heated conveyor belts 27b that exert pressure on
the reams sealing the polypropylene and closing the wrapping. When this unit is used, reams of paper can be
wrapped in pre-glued paper or polypropylene.

2.5 Using hotmelt glue


2.5.1 Glue properties and characteristics

Hotmelt substances are basically thermoplastic glues. They are liquified for processing by melting at high
temperatures between 120 C and 200 C, depending on the quality of the glue. Adhesion takes place when
the hotmelt cools down below the melting temperature and solidifies. Their special advantage is the
extremely short setting time of only a few seconds. Hotmelt glues stand up to water, in some cases freezing
(according to type of hotmelt) or extreme temperatures. When hotmelt is applied on just one side it can be brought
back to the correct temperature to reacquire its adhesive properties and heat sealed at a later time. Various types
of units are currently available on the market, from simple manually-operated units to sophisticated electronically
controlled equipment with automatic adjustment that can be easily installed in already existing production lines and
manufacturing plants.
Careful attention must be paid to the processing temperature and open time for the type of hotmelt being used.

2.5.2 Processing temperature

The hotmelt must be processed at the temperature stated on the technical data sheets at the moment and
in the area in which the glue is applied on the support. Viscosity and fluidity can be widely varied by changing
the processing temperature. The higher the processing temperature the less viscous the hotmelt will be
but this will make the open time longer. The lower the temperature the more viscous will be the hotmelt making
the open time shorter. When temperatures below the indicated values are used the hotmelt will be less fluid and
will not adhere 100% to the support when sprayed on. A 10 - 20 % decrease in temperature will increase viscosity
20 - 50%.

2.5.3 Open time

Open time signifies the time during which adhesion to the glue takes place. It is influenced by the hotmelt
temperature, thickness applied, room temperature, the support and the heat conduction of the latter (e.g.
the open time is shorter with aluminium). If the time span between application and pressing is longer than
the open time the hotmelt will already be partly or completely hardened and the parts will not be well glued.
The open time can be extended by increasing the processing temperature and amount of glue (e.g. when the
temperature is increased 10 C, the open time is 1 - 2 sec. longer) or reduced by decreasing the amount of glue and
processing temperature.

2.5.4 How the material influences glueing

Good quality glueing of composite material (thermoplastics such as polyethylenes, pvc, Pvdc) is obtained
only if the processing temperature is high enough to melt the thermoplastics. Polyethylene coated carton
is to be glued at a temperature of approximately 180 C. If possible, the hotmelt should be applied on the
surface hardest to glue.
When wax paper is used, the processing temperature and amount of glue applied should be increased.

2.5.5 Cleaning
Build ups may form on the bottom and sides of the tank that can clog the spray nozzles due to dust particles
or over-heating. If the manufacturer has not recommended a specific cleaning agent, clean the tank by
quickly melting the Termomelt 301 specially formulated detergent. As it liquifies very quickly it can be
removed easily with the dirt with a hard-bristle brush. If charring has occurred, turn off the unit and soak the parts
in question, once cooled down, in solvents such as trichloroethylene, toluol, etc for a good amount of time.

Warning!
Follow all the safety rules and precautions given in the Users Manual that deals
with the glue applicator.

WRAPMASTER 2 - 13/16
2 - Preliminary information
U0G00214

2.5.6 Pressing

The two parts in question must be glued and pressed together immediately or simultaneously. During
pressing, the two parts must never be moved to prevent the glue stitches from shifting while hardening. The
two parts to be glued must be brought together within the maximum open time. The pressure must not be
decreased when the parts are initially pressed to prevent the film of hotmelt from breaking.

2.5.7 Quantity applied and cost of hotmelt glue

Even if good hotmelt is about double the price of vinyl based glue, it does not necessarily signify an increase
in glueing cost as hotmelt contains 100% glueing substances while vinyl glue contains 50% water.
The stitch of hotmelt applied expands from 2 to 3 times during pressing (e.g. a 1 mm stitch of hotmelt
expands 2 - 3 mm on the surface to be glued).
The quantity of glue needed per linear meter of hotmelt in relation to the thickness of the stitch applied is given below:
stitch thickness 1 mm. Usage approx. 0.5 g/linear m
2 mm. approx. 1.5
3 mm. approx. 3
The specific weight of the hotmelt for glueing is approximately 0.92 g/cm3.

Machine axes refers to mechanical axes driven by brushless electric motors that areresolver-controlled.
The exact position of the motor is known each and every minute as is the position of the driven mechanical
part. The formulas given below must be used to determine the machine axes. The following aspects are
taken into consideration:

Product size parameters: these determine the size of the reams to be handled.
Machine drive axes: these are electrically controlled mechanical parts used to position the units according to
the ream size being handled.

5.2.1 Product size parameters

The ream size parameters are entered on the Order data page on the operator interface panel. These
data items are used to obtain the values employed to position the machine drive axes.

5.2.2.12 Axis A37 - Phaser stop in the feeding area (gate)

This axis controls the movement of the motor of the phaser belt (feeding area), which is continuously moved
depending on the speed set by the operator on the control panel, or according to the speed of the cutter
positioned before this machine.

5.2.2.13 Axle A21 - Ream feed

Defines the position of the reference teeth (coloured black) N on the ream feed belt compared to F.F.2.
Proceed as follows to reference axle A21:
Determine rotation direction: If you press the + button (see chapter 6 Machine control through
operator interface) while in JOG mode, the axle must move toward the elevators.
Reset the axis and make sure that the belt reference tooth is xxx mm from F.F.2 at 0 axis when A4
format is set or at xxx mm when A3 format is set. If this is not the case, read the X distance between the
tooth and notch in the Home Offset value in axis parameters.
Reset again.

Note:
When reference teeth N are in line with the notch, both sensors (for A4 and A3
formats) should be obscured.

6.1 Machine control through operator interface


The WRAPMASTER C140 machine is equipped with an operator panel that manages the main functions,
specifically:

Manual operations and various settings;


format programming (display only if the machine is included in another order management system).

A touch screen is provided that allows the user to interact with the operator panel by touching an area on its screen.

The machine performs the processings of the packaging process in automatic cycle following the selection of a work
order.
With the automatic cycle and in synchronism with the system located before the machine/equipment, all the
parameters regarding the work order are set in the order database (those values are subject to a confirmation); the
operator responsible for the production can not modify the parameters (such as speed, acceleration etc.) of the
various actuators on the machine/equipment but can only implement a work according to the required format.
Any change of the machine/equipment speed can be carried out only in manual cycle and for maintenance purposes
(always under safety conditions and with all protections enabled) so as to test the machine/equipment idling
operation or during the machine test phase or adjustment.

7.1 Introduction
This chapter provides all the information needed to understand machine operations, instructions for format
changes and adjustments.
All information that concern the same machine unit or section are grouped and only marked by the icons
indicated the operation they run.

Warning!
Before performing any type of operation on the machine, the user must first read
and fully understand the entire Instruction Manual.

7.1.1 Size change-over

The machine is adjusted in all its parts by our engineers before it is delivered. However, the user should
know how to carry out these adjustments or replace the parts to optimize the quality of the product according
to its variables. In addition, after maintenance has been performed the machine can be brought back to
its initial state by simply following the directions given.

7.2 General informations for the size change-over procedure


The operations of size group change are necessary to arrange the machine ream wrapping with different
dimensions in comparison with the previous one.
To obtain a very good packing it is suggested to observe the instructions reported on the following pages.
Some parts shall have to be replaced, other need a displacement in order to position themselves to the
correct required size group dimension.
The parts can be adjusted by using handwheels, dials and metric scales.

7.2.1 Size change procedure

To change format/order, some operations must be run from the control panel and/or pushbutton panel and
format parts replaced or adjusted.

The following operations are required for format change:

1 Make sure no reams are still in the machine.

2 Replace the roll (see paragraph 7.4.1).

3 Position the new packing sheet using the buttons on pushbutton panel P12.

A Start the machine in manual mode.


B Press and hold down button 2 for a few seconds (the button light turns on and enables button 3 for paper
unwinding and cutting.
C Press and hold down button 3 until the old packaging sheet has fully exited, stopping the packaging
paper junction point immediately before the blade.
D Press button 2 again (the light with flash), the machine will unwind the packaging paper and start cutting
(the light turns off when the operation has completed).

The following list of operations refers to a format change from small to large format (i.e.: from A4 to A3):

A Adjust the lateral Clear Wrap unit belts (optional unit) according to ream width (see paragraph 7.7.2.1).
B Adjust the upper Clear Wrap unit belt (optional unit) according to ream height (see paragraph 7.7.2.1).
C Adjust the glue guns according to flap length (see paragraph 7.6.9), which depends on ream height and
the type of package to be created (heat or underneath folds).
D Adjust and/or replace the rear head folders according to ream height (see paragraph 7.6.7.1).
E Adjust and/or replace the front fixed head folders according to ream height (see paragraph 7.6.7.1).
This operation must be performed at the same time as step F.
F Adjust and/or replace the helical folders according to ream height (see paragraph 7.6.8.1). This
operation must be performed at the same time as step E.
G Adjust sheet feed guides according to packaging sheet dimensions (see paragraph 7.4.8.1).
H Adjust front head folders according to ream width (see paragraph 7.6.7.2).
I Adjust side pressing units according to ream length (see paragraph 7.5.4.2).
L Adjust the outfeed conveyor according to ream length (see paragraph 7.6.11).
M Adjust the bottom stop and lower hopper according to ream width (see paragraph 7.5.4.1).
N Adjust the width of the aligner chains and teeth according to the ream length (see paragraph 7.5.3.1).
O Adjust the phasing stop unit belts according to ream length (see paragraph 7.5.2.1).
P Replace the ream support slats in the phasing unit stop area (see paragraph 7.5.2.2).
Q Replace squaring unit teeth (see paragraph 7.5.3.2).
R Replace lateral slats on the ream infeed conveyor in the squaring unit area according to ream length
(see paragraph 7.5.3.3).
S Replace lift plates (see paragraph 7.6.1.1).
T Replace the upper mobile hopper according to ream length, correctly positioning it according to ream
width (see paragraph 7.6.5.1).
U Replace the counter-lift according to ream width and length (see paragraph 7.6.3.1).
V Insert the ream support slats in the outfeed surface area (see paragraph 7.7.1.1).

5 Launch the new format using the operator panel (see paragraph 6).

To switch from large to small format, steps 1 through 5 remain the same while the sequence in point 4 changes. Thus
format part replacement and/or adjustments must be performed in reverse order.

Important:
This operation must be performed with the machine in manual mode.
The above format change operations refer to a complete format change meaning
all ream dimensions change (width - height - length).
One only one ream dimension changes, only some of the above operations are
required.

7.6.9 End-flap glue applicators

Glue is applied to the end-flaps by two adjustable spray-guns A which are located near the plough folders.
As the ream passes by with the end-flaps and the bottom flaps already folded, photocellB checks the length
of the flap where glue is to be applied. The photocell then sends a signal to operate the spray-gun for
applying the glue on the upper end-flap.

Danger!
Hot glue application devices require high temperatures for operations. Pay careful
attention to avoid hitting or touching these devices with unprotected body parts.
Wear protective gloves, goggles and masks for protection when working near glue
nozzles.

Adjust the position of spray-gun A to apply the glue on the top flap of the ream.

This optional unit is placed after the discharge unit and can be used to:
seal polypropylene;
heat up the glue applied on the sheets of paper beforehand to close the wrapping;
heat up the glue applied by theby the spreading glue unit.

The unit consists of:


a heated lower conveyor belt A;
an upper belt C that pushes the ream down on the lower conveyor belt A;
two heated side belts B;
The heated belts are Teflon coated to stand up to the heat produced by the elements on plates D. These heating
elements can be set to the temperature required for the operation to be performed: to seal polypropylene or bring
the pre-applied glue back to the correct temperature to reacquire its adhesive properties.
The upper belt C is not equipped with heated plates as it simply pushes the reams down on the lower conveyor belt.
As a result, the overlapped flap is sealed cross-wise. The side belts seal the front end-flaps.
The group is complete with a set of air blowing in order to accelerate the cooling of the belts and of the plates, in
case of replacements.

8.3 General safety precautions


Machine maintenance personnel must be well-trained an have in-depth knowledge of workmans safety
regulations. Unauthorised personnel must remain outside the work area during operations. The safety
precautions described in this paragraph must always be strictly observed during machine maintenance to
avoid personal injury and machine damages.

8.3.1 Hazard notes

Following are a series of notes on hazards to be taken into account during maintenance.
They indicate the risk of personal injury, even fatal.

Hazard!
Protections and safety devices must be turned off and guards opened to perform
certain maintenance operations.
In this case, operating personnel are in hazardous conditions and, therefore, the
following rules must be strictly observed: Personnel assigned to perform mainte-
nance must be authorised and specifically trained on the safety and operating
procedures to be conducted, on the hazardous situations that may occur and on
the correct methods to avoid them.
During these operations, personnel must work with the utmost care and extreme
caution.

Place specific warning signs such as: MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS DO NOT TURN ON, WORK IN
PROGRESS DO NOT RUN or DO NOT TURN ON (see illustration) near the main switch and machine access
areas.

nance status.

WRAPMASTER 8 - 5/34
8 - Maintenance
U0G00214

Touching live wires may be fatal. Always work with the utmost caution and according to applicable workmans
safety regulations.

When the machine is running, parts are in motion that could cause serious personal injury. For this reason,
maintenance and relevant checks, part dismantling and replacement on the machine or control unit must
be conducted with the system off. Therefore, main switches must be in the OFF position (OPEN) and
locked with a safety pad lock that prevents them from being switched ON. The shutter must be on.

Even if the control unit is not powered (main switch off), interconnected voltage may still be present.

In case of maintenance operations and/or access to internal parts of the machine, following a previous
disconnection of the electric and pneumatic power, motors/ gearmotors, glue applicator and relative pipings and
spray guns might accumulate residual thermal energy.

Warning!
Avoid contact with the hot metal surfaces of the guns, of the pipes, of some
components of the melting unit and of the motors/gearmotors.
If contact is unavoidable, wear gloves, protective equipment for high temperature
and face shield when working near the heated equipment.
Unprotected contact with hot metal surfaces can cause injuries.

Before performing maintenance, make sure the pneumatic system is not pressurised. Before beginning
work, maintenance personnel must make sure that the pneumatic supply is turned off and that pressurised
systems are drained. For this reason, before working on pressurised parts, reduce pressure in the system
concerned by work to room pressure.

Hazard!
Before starting maintenance or removing jammed machine parts or units, cut-off
and pad lock all energy sources and drain fluidic systems.

Keep away from drain holes and taps when releasing system pressure.

Keep away from any part that could be moved by pneumatic pressure when the system is not fully drained.

Make sure all fittings and joints are correctly tightened before pressurising systems after repairs.

Make sure units with vertical movements are lowered to idle positions or, in alternative, supported with adequate
lifting system to prevent accidental movements or falls, especially when actuators or drives require replacement.

Before performing maintenance on moving parts, make sure shutters are correctly inserted.

Hazard!
Before starting maintenance, place vertical units with moving or fall risks in safety
conditions.

Never exclude safety and protection devices installed on the machine. If this is necessary, signal this conditions
with suitable warning signs and work with the utmost caution. Restore all safety and protection devices as soon
as possible.

Failure to ground equipment may cause serious personal injury. Always make sure grounding
connections are complete and compliant with regulations.

Before starting the machine after maintenance, make sure that maintenance personnel are at safety distance
and that tools or materials were moved away from devices.

Equipment must always be installed in accordance with workmans safety regulations. All parts in motion and
transmission devices must be protected against accidental contacts. Always make sure that all protections are
installed, correctly positioned and closed before starting equipment.

Prolonged overloads or faults may cause electrical equipment to overheat generating toxic fumes. Immediately
cut-off the power supply and stay clear of equipment until these fumes are removed by adequate ventilation.
Avoid inhaling fumes that remained inside equipment during repairs.

Do not spray water to extinguish fires, especially on electrical equipment: immediately cut-off all power supplies
and use CO2 extinguishers. Warn the factor fire fighting service or the fire department.

Wear appropriate personal protection devices during maintenance (safety shoes, goggles and gloves, etc.)
according to the work to be performed. When working on suspended parts, use fall-safe devices.

Wearing clothing or personal items such as necklaces, bracelets, etc. is strictly prohibited since they can catch
in tools and equipment and react to conductors.

Hazard!
Personnel must wear all the personal safety devices required to avoid accidents.

Make sure electrical equipment is in good working order and equipped with insulated grips. Make sure that test
equipment wiring and conductor insulation is not minimally broken or damaged.

Any temporary access platforms or supporting equipment for the maintenance of parts (such as motors and
other machine parts), that can not be easily reached by the user, that are not installed on the machine, must be
provided by the user, who has to supply any equipment (ladders, shims, belts, ropes, etc.) necessary to carry
out such maintenance operations.

Tighten all screws and nuts with correct torque. Incorrect torque could cause malfunctions or hazardous
situations.

Where possible, troubleshooting must be conducted outside protected areas. If necessary when troubleshoot-
ing, perform work with the control unit and machine powered. All the precautions required by safety regulations
when working on live parts and powered drive axles must be taken.

All excluded safety devices (panels, guards, safety limit switches, interlocks, etc.) must be restored when
maintenance and troubleshooting is completed.

Maintenance, repairs and troubleshooting must be concluded by testing correct machine and safety device
operations.

Hazard!
Before restarting the machine, pay the utmost attention and make sure no one is
still working in the machine work area marked by hazard signs.

Hazard!
Before restarting the machine, re-check the entire system according to the start-
up procedures. After maintenance, run a few test cycles in manual mode to check
for correct movements.

8.3.2 Warning notes

Following are a series of notes on general warnings to be taken into account during maintenance.
They represent a warning of possible deterioration or damages to the machine, equipment or other
personal user item.

Maximum machine reliability and minimum maintenance costs are the result of a planned and meticulously
performed maintenance and inspection program during the entire machine working life. Strictly observe the set
maintenance intervals.

Make sure machine parts are correctly lubricated. Insufficient or defective lubrication can cause damages and
malfunctions.

Before beginning checks and maintenance, remove dust, processing residue and dirt in general from the
machine with a vacuum and clean with appropriate liquid detergents.

Always use perfectly dry air during cleaning at pressures not superior to 0.2 MPa (2 bar). The use of a vacuum
is preferable and recommended.

When dismantling parts, mark single parts with ID plates to ensure the subsequent correct assembly. After
maintenance that requires wiring and/or fixed or mobile parts to be removed, check number/plate consistency
with the fixed or mobile part.

When using a mega ohm meter to check electrical device insulation, make sure all electronic control devices
are disconnected to avoid damaging components.

Always use tools in good working order and specifically designed for the work to be completed. The use of
unsuitable or inefficient tools may cause serious damages.

Conduct repairs in clean rooms and, where possible, free of dust. Protect all connection lights with plastic caps
and accurately cover all dismantled part work surfaces until they are assembled on the machine.

Replace machine parts with original spare parts.

8.6 Cleaning operations


The machine must be cleaned at regular intervals following the frequency indicated in the maintenance
plan. Following are a series of notes and general warnings to be taken into account during cleaning.
If caked on dirt that is hard to remove with dry cloths or brushes is found when cleaning, use a suitable
cleaning liquid that does not have harmful effects on gaskets, rubber parts and paint, non-toxic, non-
flammable and whose use is admitted.
Do not spray cleaning liquid using pressurised tanks since its volatility does not allow it to clean and can generate
vapours in the work area. Instead, use soft damp cloths for the best results and/or manual domestic type spray
bottles.
Avoid prolonged contact with cleaning liquids and avoid inhaling their vapours. Avoid use near free flames or
heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room where used.
When cleaning, in addition to the usual caution the operator must use suitable personal protection devices such
as work overalls, goggles, gloves and shoes according to the work to be performed.
The machine and system must be cleaned with care, especially unpainted guides and sliding parts. When
finished cleaning unpainted parts, spread a thin layer of rustproof oil on them.

Note:
The machine must be cleaned at regular intervals according to use and the work
environment.

Hazard!
Before cleaning the machine, cut-off and pad lock all energy sources and safely
lock its mobile units. Place machine in maintenance - do not turn on signs near
the main switch. Removing machine guards and safety devices by cleaning
personnel is strictly prohibited.

Warning!
Machine parts must be carefully cleaned of dust or other substances. We suggest
you use cleaning liquids that have good grease solvent properties that are not
harmful to rubber seal gaskets.
During these activities, personnel must be equipped with suitable protective
clothing (gloves and goggles) and use non-fray cloths.

Warning!
Only use dry and soft cloths that do not leave frays or flexible silk brushes to clean
delicate mechanisms, references and lubricating mechanisms.

Note:
Use the types of cleaning liquids and observe the restrictions set by current
regulations in the country of use.

Hazard!
The use of cleaning liquids not permitted in the country of use and compressed air
with pressure over 0.2 MPa to clean is strictly prohibited.
Avoid prolonged personnel exposure to cleaning liquid vapours ensuring good
room ventilation.
Failure to observe these precautions may cause personal injuries.

8.7 Lubrication plan


It is easy to understand the extreme importance of adequate machine lubrication. The correct use of
appropriate lubricants considerably contributes to achieving the best machine performance and reducing
faults.
If the machine is question is equipped with a centralised lubrication system, no manual controls or
lubrication are required except for the points indicated in the following chapter.
When handling lubricant, observe the following preventive measures for health reasons:
only use the amount of lubricant necessary to lubricate the concerned mechanism. Dry excess oil, grease or
graphite with a non-fray cloth;
excess lubricant, like insufficient lubricant, may, at times, compromise good machine operations;
only the recommended lubricants or greases or lubricants and greases with equivalent characteristics of known
and proven quality can be used for lubrication;
avoid prolonged, excessive or repeated skin contact with lubrication products and avoid inhaling their vapours;
protect skin by wearing appropriate protective clothing and devices (for example, overalls, goggles and
protective gloves) or by applying a protection product;
in the event of skin contact, wash with soap or specific products and rinse under running water.

Hazard!
Lubricants are inflammable products. Follow the instructions on the container
labels.

When disposing used lubricants, follow the environmental protection regulations listed below:
lubricants can pollute water and the ground. Therefore, never pour lubricant products on the ground, in water
or in sewers. Failure to follow these instructions is punishable by law. When using lubricants, keep oil binders
on hand;
carefully collect used lubricants separating mineral-based products from synthetic-based ones. Observe
current used oil disposal regulations.

Lubricants used must have good emulsion stability and resistant to aging. They should not damage the material with
which oil scrapers, joints, rubber/plastic parts and machine paint are made.
Continue using the same lubricants used for the first time to fill the machine. If this is not possible, only use the
compliant products indicated in the reciprocity tables provided by the various manufacturers.
Only the use of suitable quality lubricants guarantees safe machine operations.

Warning!
Mixing lubricants of different qualities is strictly prohibited since their composition
and additives do not have the same specifications. This rule especially applies to
mixing synthetic and mineral lubricants.

If lubricants other than those indicated must be used, check whether the two
products are compatible. In the event of doubt, the lubricant used until that time
must be fully eliminated by cleaning the entire circuit.

Warning!
To avoid the risk of contamination, careful attention must be paid to cleanliness
during lubrication procedures.

Warning!
For further information on lubrication points and procedures for retail units and
parts installed on the machine, see the relevant maintenance sheets.

8.7.1 Lubrication

The machine is equipped with a central lubrication system which keeps the lubricated parts in top working
order. During its cycle the pump sends the required amount of lubricant to the lubricating circuit. The
frequency at which this operation is performed is determined by the operator according to the state of the
machine.
The operator can run a non-programmed lubricating cycle by pressing button on the control panel (optional).

Regularly check the level of lubricant in tank C and, if necessary, top up by opening filler plug B.

8.8.3.6 Regrinding the cutting blades

Two edges H of the cutting blades are normally used.


If the cuts produced by both edges are inaccurate, the blade needs to be re-ground.

Proceed as described below:

Perform a horizontal and vertical precision grinding operation by using plenty of coolant.
The coolant must be directed to the point where the grinding wheel and the piece come into contact.
Bakelite-based and soft abrasive material is to be used, typically 46H6 or 46G6/8.
If a vertical grinder is available, it is preferable to use a sectional grinding wheel instead of cup grinders.
The cutting edge along with the two respective faces of the blade is to be reground. The amount of material to
be removed from the blade is 2 mm until a fairly consistent cutting edge is obtained.
In general, in order to perform the procedure in the proper way, always straighten the piece before grinding.

The blades obviously are to be replaced after repeated regrinding procedures.
