1. INTRODUCTION
The cutting machine of series EC represents modern highly productive machine,
which is determined for division of metal semifinished products. Device uses
technology of thermal cutting by way of high temperature plasma. After agreement
with producer it is possible to order the machine with cutting device with oxygen-
acetylene torch. Maximum thickness of cut material depends on specific kind of
plasma generator.
Cinematic of the machine is based on three continuously axes. Lengthwise and
diagonal motion (axis X and axis Y) are practised in horizontal plain, lift along the
axis Z presents vertical motion. Cutting is performed by working head, which moves
in two axes above the workpiece. Material is placed on interchangeable steel laths of
working table. Tank under the working table is for interception of rubbish. Gases
which arise by cutting are aspirated by exhaust system out of space of working table.
This machine is very easy to operate and it has very neat cut. Control system is
realized by industrial computer, which manage control of all three axes (CNC). You
can find description of the machine, directions and rules for correct operations in this
manual.
Frame of the machine is made by two lines of sturby legs, which carry main profiles
for realization of motion along axis „Z“. Legs of machine are adjustable for setting the
machine to horizontal position. Setting is practised by four adjustable screws on each
leg of the machine. Linear rails and gear racks are placed on main profiles. It
provides lengthwise move (axis X). Whole frame is protected against rust by
protective powder painting.
Lengthwise move is made by portal. This portal joints left and right consol, which is
moving in pair of linear rails lengthwise of the machine frame. Each consol is
equipped with propulsive unit. The unit is consists of the direct current motor with IRC
sensor, gearbox and divided pinion. Transfer of forces is reached by drive of pinion
placed on gear rack. Reaction forces are caught by pair of linear bearings and linear
rails on each side.
Divided pinion of the servomechanism allows reducing backlash of the gear.
Backlash you can reduce by bilateral swing out of both pinion wheels. It will cause
the extension in the pinion spring.
End positions are controlled by inductive sensors and secured by mechanical back
stops. Parts of propulsive mechanism are protected against the dust, other impurities
and against the mechanical damage by covers.
Steel parts are protected against rust by special painting.

2.3 Transversal movement (AXIS Y)
Move along axis Y is carry out by one or several drives (depends on specification of
the machine), placed on portal with square section. Pair of rails and pair of linear
bearings for every drives are placed on the portal. Motion along axis “Y” is realized
by direct-current motor with IRC sensor and gearbox, which drive the cutting head.
Complete body of motions, holds its own servomechanism for axis “Z” is placed on
linear bearings. Forces are caught by pair of linear bearings on two linear rails.
End positions are controlled by inductive sensors and secured by mechanistic back
stops. Solid of motions, as well as the rest of steely parts are protected against the
rust by protective painting.
The last one of moves is realized by gearing of gear rack and pinion. Movable part of
the unit is leaded on two linear rails with bearings. Whole propulsion is screwed to
placing board of the portal. Propulsion of axis “Z” is realized by direct-current motor
with IRC sensor, which by way of reduction gearbox drive leading rod with gear rack.
Cutting torch is by way of the holder connected to the leading rod. In this part there
are: device of electronic anti-collision protection and mechanism of initial height
setting with IHS sensor.
End positions are controlled by inductive sensors and secured by mechanical
stoppers. Steel parts are protected against the rust by protective painting.

2.7 Operational unit (POJ)
Control unit is placed on both sides of the machine and it is stuck to the side
consoles of the portal. Operators can control the cutting machine during the hand
mode, using the system of push buttons from these places. Operators also can
operate simple control during the automatic work mode. There is a button “central
stop”, which can stop the machine in case of emergency immediately on each
console.

3.3 Type of working surround
The machine is appointed for the work only in the internal areas, which are medially
hard circumstances. The cutting machine must not come to the contact with
aggressive substances, which could cause added corrosion of some of its parts
(acids, organic substances, sea water etc.).
Work surround:
When you use the machine in incorrect environment, is necessary to consult your
aim with the producer or authorized seller of the machine!
The cutting machine, which is not used for its purpose is able to be stored potentially
for non - limited time. All single parts have to be cleaned of the working stuff, all
working circuits have to be let out before the storage. Leading surfaces and other
functional units have to be covered by suitable preservative stuff.
The machine can be stored in dry environment if its single units are not exposed to
meteorological influences with temperatures from +5 C to + 45 C.
The machine should not be exposed to influence of sunshine for a long time,
otherwise colouring firmness of surface painting can be changed and plastic or
rubber parts can weather partially.
If the mentioned conditions are not fulfilled, the producer cannot guarantee correct
function of the machine or its components.

5. PRECAUTIONARY STEPS
The cutting machine EC type is appointed for cutting practically all kinds of metal
materials and metal alloys. Maximal dimensions of semi finished products appointed
for cutting depend on dimensions of the working table and clearance of the portal and
on the type of plasma generator. It is forbidden to exceed any of the maximal
technical parameters appointed by producer of the machine.
For the operators is strongly recommended to take the training course about working
with this machine before the start. Read the precautionary steps about the work with
plasma or oxygen- acetylene devices before set in motion. It is recommended to use
working clothes and footwear, gloves and goggles for eyes protection while you are
working. The plasma generator generates hot plasma and relatively intensive light as
well. Do not look straight to the cutting torch without protection of your eyes, it can
damage your eyes or you can go blind.
It is necessary to use handling devices if the weight of the material requires it during
the manipulation with the semi finished products. Do not forget that cut material was
exposed to high temperature of plasma so it can stay hot for some time after cutting
process. Wait until the temperature will be tolerable. You will prevent possible burn of
skin or possibility of fire foundation. It is allowed to manipulate with the material only
if the machine is in stand by mode, or if it does not work. It is prohibited to stay close
to the cutting torch or however manipulate with cut work pieces if the machine is in
cutting mode. It is denied to cut containers under pressure, or any devices
accumulating the energy. Also it is denied to cut containers with dangerous or
flammable content.
It is forbidden to start the machine, if any of covers is damaged or if it is not correctly
attached.
In case of collision situation, health threat of operators or in case of another
breakdown situation, stop the machine immediately by pushing the button CENTRAL
STOP, which is placed on the panel of the main control unit and on the both control
consoles on the machine. In case that fire appears, immediately disconnect all of the
energy inputs of the machine and try to put out the fire on your own. If you can not
put out the fire, you have to inform the dispatching of the fire service.
You should use suitable fire extinguisher (powder or CO2). In case of necessary stop
of the machine, clear away the reason of stopping, before you will turn the machine
on again. If it is necessary perform a perfunctory check of the machine.

6. MAINTENANCE
It is necessary to perform periodical checks of the machine and its maintenance for
preserve its high lifespan and trouble free working. Operators and workers
manipulating with material should be acquainted with information said in this chapter.
Immediately
If there were an accidental collision situations, during the work of the machine, while
loading the material on the working table or by influence of programming collision
course of cutting head, it is necessary to check damaged parts and in case of
necessary it is required to do the fast change or reparation of damaged parts. High
attention should be given to the parts around the cutting torch (sensor IHS, parts of
the cutting head, cables etc.). Also the covers of linear rails, covers of electro-motors
etc. should be controlled.
Emphasize, these information especially to operators and to the persons
manipulating with the cut material.
Worn down or another way of damaged laths on the grate of the working table is
necessary to change if you want to preserve set of perpendicularity of cutting head
owing to the workpiece. Laths can be ordered from the producer, or seller of the
machine (have a look to list of spare pieces). If you realize, that jet of the cutting
burner is worn down too much, immediately replace it with a new one. If it will not be
replaced, the quality of the cut will go down. After long term use with worn down jet,
the cutting torch can be damaged. It is possible to order the jets from the producer or
from the seller of the machine (have a look to the list of spare pieces).
Do the lubrication of important business ends, bearings and linear rails. You can find
technical drawings of individual positions of lubrication points in the end of this
document. Before lubrication take away necessary covers. Use plastic lubricant
Dynalub 510, Castroll LM, Shell LX2, or another compatibly type of lubrication. Apply
lubricant by using the grease gun. Quantity of plastic lubricant needed for one place
is appointed by appraisal. If lubricant starts to extrude from slippery or rolling
imposition, that means you used enough of lubricant. You should not save the
lubricant, but do not use too much of lubricant as well. When you do not use enough

of lubricant you can get rubber the components or you can induce their excessive
wear and tear. When you use too much of lubricant, you can induce reduction of
kinematical possibilities of specific kinematical couple.
Lubrication points refer to linear bearings along all of three axes and piston pale on
sensor IHS. There are seven lubrication points on the machine.
Procedure:
• apply the plastic lubricant to lubrication places on linear bearings by using the
grease gun.

7. LIQUDATION OF DEVICE
After finish lifetime of the machine it is necessary to arrange its correct liquidation,
decommissioning from run. It is necessary to switch off machine and unplug all
energy sources at first.
Rubbish from particles of molten cut metal arises during the cutting with plasma or
with oxygen-acetylene burner. It is possible to move this accumulated rubbish out to
the dump for durable rubbish.
When you cut material with heavy metal components (special alloys etc.) it is
necessary to notice this fact to dump workers, in other not to contaminate ground
water. However the producer recommends to consult the liquidation of rubbish with
authority for protection of environment.
7.2 Recycling
After putting the machine out of the operation it is possible to recycle individual
materials used for building of cutting machine. All of steel parts and parts made of
non ferrous metals and plastic parts should be moved to separate rubbish.
Electronics and cable bundles are necessary to be moved for next recycling in to the
company appointed for this purpose. You can find detailed information at relevant
office for environment in your country.
