OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL 141
READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MACHINE
A Safety Note:
Your good manufacturing practices should insure that a written safety program is in place, which includes the
assessment of all processes that take place in house, for potential risks.
8LIIQTPS]IVVIWTSRWIXSXLMWEWWIWWQIRXMWXSIWXEFPMWLWTIGM½GMRWXVYGXMSRWJSVXLIWEJIYWISJEPPQEGLMRIW
safe use of certain chemicals, etc. in your work place.
For instance, any user of electrical machinery, SLICE® included, must be instructed that never, under any cir-
cumstances, should a machine be left on while attempting to clear a jam , if it should occur.
This written rule, along with other directives, should be translated into either a training document that is
signed or work instruction that is also signed and dated by all operators and that ideally remains with the
equipment as a reminder of safe operation.

5.1 Load The Product
Load the product you’re cutting by centering the material in conjuntion with the center
line as shown on the adjustable guide.
Adjustable Guide
Center Line
5.2 Loading Instructions: Load The Product

The Model 141 machine requires a more complex loading procedure. The principal
reason for this is that this machine, with its greatly increased vertical opening, has 3
separate adjustments required. They are:
5.3 Top Input Guide

The top input guide should be centered in the opening with the aperture and set so that
the material slides through easily.
Top Input Guide
Adjust the locking knob on the right side slide on the upper guide to the width of the
product. Allow just enough extra space so that the product moves through
the guides freely. Tighten knob securely before starting your run.
5.4 Idler Roller

The idler roller should be adjusted so that there is just enough force on the material and
on the drive wheel to move the material through the machine. This is accomplished by
turning the wheel adjustment hand crank located at the top rear of the machine. (Fig.
Adjustable Wheel Hand Crank) Additional pressure on this roller may overly compress
the material and increase the torque required to draw the material through the machine.
In short: too little pressure and the material won’t move; too much pressure and the
material won’t move either. The wheel position indicator will assist in this.
5.5 Idler Roller Adjustment
Adjustable Wheel Wheel Position Indicator

Hand Crank
This is the knob that, when rotated, moves the idler wheels in and out to apply pressure
to the material running through the SLICE® 141. The pressure required for proper
operations is very dependant on the type of material being processed. If there is not
enough pressure erratic lengths will result due to slippage. Over tightening of the
wheels will cause errors in length measurements due to compression of the material.
Materials that are not compressible will run with the best accuracy and repeatability.
Materials that are compressible or that will easily stretch will require some
I\TIVMQIRXEXMSRXSTVSHYGIWEXMWJEGXSV]VIWYPXW)ZIRXLIQSWXHMJ½GYPXQEXIVMEPW[MPP
produce reasonably consistent results provided the material is fed smoothly to the
machine.
With compressible materials the pressure applied to the product may change the
resultant length. If you already have your length set and you decide to crank down on
the pressure do not be surprised if the overall length changes somewhat.

5.6 Bottom Guides
The bottom guides should be set slightly wider than the material. The
purpose of the bottom guides is to insure that the material runs straight
through the cutting die so that the cut will be square to the movement of
the material. The Bottom guide adjustment wheel is located on the lower right hand
side. (See picture below)

10.0 Batch Sequence Pause Feature
Since a batch sequence program may contain as many as ten (10) different batches, the
machine will stop in between each batch.
If the feature is not selected, the machine will run out all batches into the same
container. This may be useful when all the tubing or wire required to build one machine
is bagged or boxed for a workstation or is shipped in “kit” format.
11.0 Reprogramming The Unit

Press “ENTER”
“PROGRAM” Twice
Select from the rotating menu shown on the display:

1. Calibrate (Unit comes calibrated from the factory)
2. Inches/Metric (Change from English to Metric or vise-versa)
3. Set Feed Rate (Adjustable material feed rate from 5”- 30” per second)
4. Display total (Displays total pieces cut by the unit)
5. No Wire Stop
6. Batch Pause (Sets Batch Pause Feature)
7. Set Sticks (Activates Stick Program)
8. Step Adjust
9. Exit
Note: 7L-CE machines and other models that have been ½tted with 4olyurethane wheels
do not feature the “no wire shut off.” Due to the use of special, non-conductive material for the
drive and idler wheels, the unit is unable to detect if material is being fed through the machine.
Therefore, please disregard this choice if you have poly wheels.

Press the appropriate numerical key to transfer to the desired programming. Or if you do
not wish to make a change, once you have pressed one of these numbers, simply press
the “CLEAR” button.
11.1 Calibration (displays as no. 1)

The unit comes calibrated from the factory. However, certain types and sizes of wire
may interface with the driving and measuring wheels in a different manner. The unit will
cut all types of wire consistently. However, the length setting may vary with different
types of wire. This may be corrected when the length is set up by adjusting the input
length of that wire. If the wire you are using is all the same and is consistently less
or more than the settings of length you have entered, it may be corrected here in the
calibration setting. When the “1” key is pressed to enter the calibration mode, the
calibration number will be displayed:
9950 represents a decrease of the length by 0.5%

9900 represents a decrease of the length by 1.0%
1005 represents an increase of the length by 0.5%
1010 represents an increase of the length by 1.0%
SLICE® calibration works from 9000 (0.900) to 1100 (1.100). Unusual materials may
require greater than 10% correction factors. It is suggested that the length setting be
used to obtain the correct length for these materials.
Enter the correction factor you have calculated and press “ENTER”.
Note: the machine calibration will not be accurate for different types of tubing.
*HSPIYH[PVUZOV\SKILKVULVUS`\ZPUN^PYLVYÅH[YPIIVUJHISL

11.1 Calibration Contiuned
The issue of calibration is a complex one. Different insulating materials may have
different slip rates. As such, a machine calibrated to run one type of wire and insulation
may be slightly off calibration for a different type of wire and insulation. Heat shrink
XYFMRKERHZEVMSYWX]TIWSJ¾I\MFPIXYFMRKEVIWYWGITXMFPIXSWXVIXGLMRK-XMWFIWXXS
calibrate the machine to the product that you use the most. When other products are
run, run a few samples and adjust the length setting until the desired length is achieved.

on the payout system employed for the tubing so as not to cause stretching while
feeding into the unit.
11.2 The Effect of Machine Discrimination on Calibration:

Each step of the drive motor represents a move in length of 0.5 mm or .019”. In order
for a calibration correction to have an effect, the change must be at least .02”. For
example: a correction of 1% at 12” represents 0.12” or approximately six (6) steps of
the drive motor. This same calibration at 1” represents only 0.01” and may not affect
the length of the material.
11.3 Inches/Metric (displays as no. 2)

The display will ask you to select the “1” key for inches and the “2” key for metric. You
may return to either setting, depending on your measuring needs. When entering a
FEXGLTVSKVEQXLITVSKVEQ[MPPWEZIMRXLIYRMXWSJQIEWYVIQIRXGYVVIRXP]WTIGM½IH-X
will run in these units even if the units have been changed.
11.4 Set Feed Rate (displays as no. 3)

(Adjustable material feed rate from 5”-30” per second)
To change motor speed on adjustable models, press new speed desired. Example: 10
followed by “ENTER” will adjust the motor speed to 10” per second. Speed may be
adjusted between 1” and 30” per second on standard models.
11.5 Display Total (displays as no. 4)

(Display Total Pieces) Simply displays the total pieces of product that have been cut by
the machine since it’s manufacture.

11.6 No Wire Stop (displays as no. 5)
The machine uses conduction between the stainless steel drive wheel and the stainless
steel idler wheel to establish that there in no longer any material to cut. If the wheels
are in contact with each other, the machine rightly assumes that there is nothing to cut
and shuts down. When cutting bare copper wire, braiding or anything conductive, you will
need to deactivate this feature or else the machine will not run.
Note: 1achines that have been ½tted with 4olyurethane wheels do not feature the “no wire
stop.” Due to the use of special, nonconductive material for the drive and idler wheels, the unit
is unable to detect if material is being fed through the machine. Therefore, please disregard this
choice if you have poly wheels.
11.7 Batch Pause (displays as no. 6)

Allows the batch sequence pause feature to be turned on or off.
11.8 Step Adjust (displays as no. 8)

The smaller the length of the pieces being cut from the stick, the more pieces will result.
If each piece is slightly over length, the cumulative effect may result in less than the
STXMQEPRYQFIVSJTMIGIW8LI±7XIT%HNYWX²[MPPEPPS[JSVE½RIXYRMRKSJXLIGYXPIRKXL
An adjustment of up to +/- 2 motor steps is allowed. Each step is approximately 0.02”.
Press “1” for plus length. Press “2” for minus length.
11.9 Exit (displays as no. 9)

Exit the programming mode without changes by pressing this.

11.10 About The Emergency Stop Button
This is a kill-all switch, also known as an emergency stop or panic button. Should
something become jammed in the machine, such as material, hair or clothing, press the
Emergency Stop Button. To re-start, rotate the button clockwise.

to recalibrate the machine from time to time depending on its use. When calibrating
the machine please run at least 25 pieces of your material at a determined length and
run several lengths from 4” to 12” and calculate the standard deviation for each length.
Make calibration corrections based on this data.
Do not run one piece at a length and recalibrate the machine based on a sample of one.
The machine is set to run at full speed. Unless you are running material less that 2”
there is no advantage in slowing down. Two things determine the accuracy of material
length: First, the system is microprocessor controlled, stepper motor driven and
movement of the material is monitored optically using the idler wheel. Second is the
spring loading of the take-up reel system. The system is designed to function best when
there is just enough tension on the material reel so that it cannot “free wheel”. When
the system is functioning correctly, the material reel will be moving relatively smoothly
without any jerking. Excessive tension will cause inconsistencies in the wire cutting
lengths. On a lot of 25 pieces the standard deviation should not exceed .05”. (Over a
length range of 4” to 36 “)
If for some reason you must remove the material, reload it again as above. If, by

13.0 Routine Maintenance Notes For The Slice Machines.
Important! Be Sure To Turn Off And Unplug MachineAlong With Disconnecting The Air Line
From The Slice Unit Before Performing Any Maintenance or Inspections!
Note: The 4reventive 1aintenance 4rogram is based solely on the extent of use of the 7L-CE
machine. Typically, item 2 should be done on a weekly basis, however, if the SLICE® machine is
being used extensively then you may want to initiate a Daily 1aintenance 4rogram.
1. Make certain that the venting holes located on the side of the machine are not
blocked when the machine is in use.
2. Periodically you may need to remove material fragments from the inside of the
machine. First and always, unplug machine and disconnect airline from the SLICE® unit.
Remove the front panel and use an air gun or a soft, clean brush to gently brush any
fragments that may have accumulated over time. Reassemble the front panel and only
then plug the SLICE® unit back in and connect the air line.
%HHMXMSREP1EMRXIRERGI4VSGIHYVIW[SYPHMRGPYHIXLIJSPPS[MRKERHWLSYPHFIHSRI
periodically depending on the extent of use.
Weekly:
-Check to make sure no material is stuck in Blade/Die
-Check Blade/Die for corrosion, sharpness.
-Check Optic Sensor making sure it is free from debris.
-Check to make sure all connections are intact.
Monthly:
-Check Flag and Sensor alignment, adjust accordingly if needed.
-Check Drive and Idler wheels for damage, clean or replace as needed.
As Needed:
-Sharpening Blade or Die
-Replacing Blade or Die
-Check Fuses on Power Board and replace if necessary with exactly the same type of

1. Unplug machine, Disconnect Air.
2. Using a 3/16” allen key, remove 4 screws holding front cover on unit. [ Pictured in Figure 1, Part #
10 in the exploded view ].
3. Unplug all connectors going to the circuit board in the front housing and remove housing.
4. Using a 3/32 allen key, remove the tension handle [ pictured in Figure 4, Part # 1 ]. Using a Phillips
head screwdriver remove the top cover, which is under the tension handle.
5. 0SSOEXXLIGYXXIVJVSQXLIXSTERH½RHXLITPEGI[LIVIXLIFPEHIGSRRIGXWXSXLIEMVG]PMRHIV
There is a quick release pin in the center [ as shown in Figure 5, Part # 3 ].
The blade will have to be pulled forward to remove the pin. Remove the pin by pulling it straight up.
6. Looking at the cutter from the front you will see 4 socket head screws [ as shown in Figure 2, Part #
1 ]. Using a 5/32 allen key, remove the 4 screws.
7. Pull the die assembly and the blade assembly out of the cutter, slide the blade assembly out of the
HMIEWWIQFP]8LIHMIGERRS[FI¾MTTIHSVVITPEGIHF]VIQSZMRKXLI2 screws securing it [ as shown in
Figure 7, Part # 1 ].
8. The blade and die can now be cleaned or replaced.
9. Lubricate the new or cleaned blade assembly using 3 in 1 oil. Reinsert the blade into the die
assembly.
10. Slide the die assembly and the blade assembly into the unit making sure the blade slides into
the clevis.
11. Replace the 4 screws for securing the die assembly. Replace the quick release pin connecting the
blade to the air cylinder.
12. Replace top cover.
13. Replace tension handle. When tightening set screw be sure screw is turned into drill point on its
mounting rod.
14. Plug all connectors into respective places on circuit boards. Double check to be sure they are
all plugged in correctly.
15. Replace top cover with 4 screws.

13.2 Gear Box Maintenance
This gear train assembly drives the lower idler wheel. It automatically adjusts to the
separation between the drive wheels and the pressure wheels. Should it become
necessary to remove this for some reason, the entire assembly is held in place by a single
“E” ring as indicated by the arrow. Carefully remove the ring. Then pull the assembly
straight out.
