3.5 Emissions
Determination Level: < 75 dB(A) ± 2 in 1m distance of DIN 46635
The unwind unit Type AR is a constructive unit as a cross-sliding carriage. In this, linear guides allow for the cross-
sliding. These are mounted on guide rails, which are anchored in the concrete through mechanical connections.
The uptake arms with core braking unit, which face each other, serve to take up the original rolls. The panel braking
unit is regulated by an incremental position transducer in dependence of the diameter.
General
- Braking Unit
As a braking unit, the system / machine is either equipped with a generator brake or a pneumatic brake. The braking
unit may be mounted on the unwind unit in the direction left, right, or two-ways. It is regulated towards the center
drive by an ultrasonic sensor in dependence of the diameter and the revolutions of the original roll.
Automatic brake control enabling the unwinding of the material of the original roll with a constant tension. The brake
cable is changed in proportion to the decreasing diameter of the original roll. The control of the brake is executed via
an ultrasonic sensor in interaction with a frequency converter which regulates the generator brake.
The control of the cross-sliding carriage of the unwind unit is executed by the edge control unit. It is applied so that
the material enters the machine / the system straight along the edge or along a line of pressure. In this, the detection
of the edge is taken on by the ultrasound sensor, or the line sensor for the line of pressure, respectively. The infrared
sensor is universally deployable, since it reacts on the edge as well as on the line.
The cross-sliding is taken over by an electromotor, which transforms the signals evaluated by the sensor into a lifting
motion.

- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Line Sensor
3.7.2 Bridge
The guiding rolls in the machine bridge leads the material to the cutting section.
Through this guide roller, the entry of material into the machine can be set or corrected; also, it serves as a sensor
roller for the edge control unit.
The cutting section essentially consists of the lower knife roller driven by cogged belts and – as the corresponding
counterparts – the upper knife systems.
The lower knife roller may be fitted – depending on the equipment of the All-Slit, respectively – with various cutting
systems (see the following table). The corresponding upper knife systems serve as the counterpart to the lower knife
roller with the various equipment types:
Shear cutting with grooving cutters and spacer rings Shear cutting section with pneumatic upper knives
Shear cutting with cutting sleeves Shear cutting section with driven upper knife roller
Razor blade cut with flute sleeves Razor blade cutting section
Knife Section
3.7.4 Winding
From the cutting section, the cut strips of material are led alternately to the winders, which are arranged on top of
each other. The winders are driven each by one three-phase AC motor with frequency converter or DC-AC inverter.
With the pneumatic winding unions the slipped-on tubes are released or tightened by the built-in clamping bars. If the
roller is pressurized with air, then the clamping bars expand and the slipped-on tubes are held tight. With the release
of the air, the clamping bars contract again and the tubes may be taken out.
- Friction Rolls
With the friction roll, the slipped-on tubes are tightened by the built-in friction elements. The friction elements have
two decisive purposes:
- Coupling, i.e. driving the winding tube, and to transfer the torque (the pull) onto the product.
The torque may be adjusted accordingly through the alteration of the values for “Pull” and “Building up Pull”. (For this,
see the device manual for the Main Control Station.)
In principle, the manual discharge stand is the same model as the automatic discharge stand. The difference is that
the functions of swinging in, swinging out, driving up to and away from the machine and the turning of the reception
arms are not controlled automatically, but are done manually.
If desired, the individual functions may be partly automated; they are then mainly controlled through pneumatic
switches.
3.7.6 Drives
The system / machine has the following drives:
Main Drive
Winding Drive
Main Drive
For the uniform transport of the foil the transport and winding rolls as well as the lower and upper knife roller are
centrally driven by an adjustable three-phase AC motor. The driven rollers are connected with each other in a non-
slip manner through gear wheels and cogged belts. The guide rollers are loosely supported without a drive.
Winding Motor
Two winding stations with each one separate three-phase AC motor wind the material. Because of this, each winding
shaft may be driven separately. The winding is carried out – depending on the equipment of the system / machine –
on pneumatic winding rollers or on single frictions.
3.8.1 Suction
In order to suck off the excess edge trimmings, there is 1 suction funnel each installed to the right and the left above
the cutting unit. The edge trimmings are sucked away by the adjustable suction pipes immediately after the cutting
site and may be caught in a container to be provided by the customer.
For the winding of the edge trim there are two edge trim winders mounted under or over the cutting unit
integrated in the machine. The edge trim is transported directly through an eye to the edge trim winders,
where the material is winded on an core.
For the operation of the control console see the separate device manual in the Appendix.
5 Start-Up
5.1 Preparation for Use
The specific, prescribed transportation position of the system / machine must be observed.
All connections such as screws, mountings, hydraulic and pneumatic lines as well as electric wires are to be
loosened prior to the transportation of the system / machine.
Individual parts and larger assemblies are to be carefully fastened and secured to lifting gear during an exchange, so
that no danger may emanate from them. Only suitable and technically flawless lifting gear as well as lifting
attachments with a sufficient lifting force may be used.
Only experienced persons may be tasked with the fastening of loads and the instruction of crane operators. The
instructor must be within line-of-sight of the operator or be in radio contact with him.
For the weight and the measurements for the transportation and storage of then system / machine, please see the
Chapter “Measurements and Weight” .
Storage
The intended transportation and storage supports are to be used for the storage of the system / machine, component
parts, and aggregates. The special lifting devices have to be used.
The systems / machines, component parts, and aggregates may not be stored in the danger zone of other systems,
machines, component parts, and aggregates.
The systems / machines, component parts, and aggregates are to be stored with a secure stand. For this, the
following points are to be checked:
Humidity;
Information about inflammability, chemical reactions, electrostatic charge;
Information about a possible hazard for the environment due to radiation, emerging
gases.
What must be disposed off how? (see Chapter “Dismantling and Disposal” )
Load plans, load distribution and centers of gravity of the machines, component parts, and aggregates to be
stored,
Stability of the systems / machines, component parts, and aggregates,
Reliable ground load of the surface, on which the machines, component parts, and aggregates are supposed to
be put.
Freely movable component parts and component are to be secured against unintended movement.
The installation is executed by qualified expert personnel of the company PSA GmbH.
The set-up is carried on a well-founded concrete base according to the foundation drawing (for this, see the separate
documents)
For fastening the foundation bolts are screwed in dowels. The leveling of the system / machine is executed with a
level. Next to the foundation bolts there are setting bolts, with which the position may be adjusted.
After a successful set-up of the system / machine the connections may be attached. For the connection loads please
see Chapter “3.4 Energy Supply”.
In order to guarantee a safe operational run of the machine, the controlling devices, which have been pre-set by the
factory, may not be altered.

8.1.3 Mechanics
Cleanliness
In order to keep the system / machine permanently functional, the individual assemblies and their environment must
be kept clean. In particular, one must pay attention to slides, rails, rolls, rollers and piston rods.
When spraying off the facilities, no water or cleaning agent must enter the bearings.
Damaging of Bearings
Cleaning of Bearings
All bearings are to be cleaned thoroughly prior to re-installation and to be filled with grease.
After the cleaning of all bearing parts with cleaner’s solvent, acid-free petroleum, or another suitable cleaning agent,
the bearings must immediately be protected against corrosion by a thorough oiling or greasing. If the bearing is dried
with compressed air, the latter must be moisture-free.
The installation and de-installation of defect facilities shall be carried out in component parts. The respective
assembly drawings are to be observed!
Safeguards
After the completion of the maintenance or repair works all safety devices must be re-installed to their full extent.
According to VDE 100, the following protective measures are provided for:
The Multiple Protective Earthing is a conductive connection of bodies with the zero conductor or with a protective
conductor, which is connected to the zero conductor in a conductive manner in order to affect that an insulation fault
(complete body contact) causes a shut-off by the overcurrent protectors.
The Protective Lead System is a conductive connection of all bodies with one another and with conductive
which are accessible to touch, in order to prevent the occurrence of excessive contact voltages in cases of insulation
faults.
During the execution of the protective measures the conditions according to afore-mentioned VDE regulation must be
observed.
Ground Connections
After the exchange all machine base frames and steel constructions, which are anchored in the foundation, are to
re-connected with the earthing strips provided for that purpose.
Housings, frames, and all exposed, non-conductive metal parts of switching stations, switches, starters,
capacitors, switchboards, electric machines, and similar devices must have a solid line connection to the
grounding system.
In this, soldering lugs are not permitted! Collets are to be executed in such manner that a permanent grounding is
guaranteed.
If the motor and the machine driven are standing on separate foundations, a grounding connection must be made
with one own line each, with the driving as well as with the driven machine.
Switching on
Prior to switching a drive on again it is to be turned by hand, if possible, in order to check the clearance.
After completion of the maintenance and repair works all limit switches, level switches, etc. are to be set in such a
manner that they again fulfill the prescribed function in the respective switching point.
Photocells and Reflectors may not be readjusted during running operation, if the person in question would endanger
himself thus.
The system / machine is essentially monitored automatically, i.e. improper alterations of the pressures, temperatures,
and levels in the system will be reported to the control center.
In the search for a malfunction one must proceed reasonable and step by step. If flow rates, pressures, or valve
positions are altered, a reset must be carried out before something is altered at another place.
Cleanliness
At all work on the media systems care shall be taken for the highest degree of cleanliness!
Valve Fastening
Ventilation
After the re-installation of hydraulic cylinders, instruments, or pipe sections careful ventilation must be made at the

The disposal of oily liquids and/or filter elements may only be carried out in accordance with the legal provisions.
Operating Media
The chemical and physical properties of the operating medium depend strongly on the load in the system, i.e. on the
temperature, the pressure, the circulation rate, and the flowing speed. The limits of the manufacturer are to be
observed, e.g. the chemical composition, permissible water content, percentage of the suspended solids, etc.
No generally valid guide value can be given for the change of the operating media. The time must be set by the
operator in cooperation with the manufacturer based on the observation of the media in practical operation.
A change of the operating medium must be carried out immediately if water, a high amount of metal debris, or other
foreign particles are contained in the hydraulic cycle. The limit values for hydraulic oil are:
In a complete exchange of the mediums care has to be taken for a total emptying and thorough cleaning of the entire
system. In liquid containers with openings for cleaning the container may be cleaned through these openings.
In any case only the permitted operating medium may be refilled or newly filled in via the provided filling connection.
After reaching the maximum filling height in the container the filling process is completed. In case of a first filling the
level decreases due to the filling of the pipe system and the consumers. If necessary, the operating medium must be
refilled several times in dependence of the filling level.
In order to prevent ageing damage on the hose lines, a short storage time is to be achieved for the keeping of spare
parts regarding hose lines and seals.
