the feed rolls and anti-backup rolls to accept the material. You could also
open the rolls manually by lifting the lever mounted on the side of the servo
feed. Position the leading edge of the material near the center of the entry
rolls and adjust the edge guides on the cascade rolls to the proper width
setting. Open the feed rolls and anti-backup rolls. Hand feed the material into
the servo unit until it protrudes out of the feed rolls and starts into the guide on
the cutter. Close the feed rolls to capture the material.
Check the roller force pressure to be sure that there is enough pressure to
prevent slippage but not too much to induce camber into the material. The
pressure setting is the amount of force necessary to move the material into
the press at the speed and feed programmed. You may find it necessary to
readjust the force as you finalize the setup procedure. The amount of force
needed will vary depending on the width and type of material being fed. Make
a note of the final setting to aid in the setup of the servo feed the next time the
same material is run.
You are now ready to begin testing the complete system under power. To
check the progression, cycle the feed and then cut or use single cycle mode.
If the progression is correct, no further adjustments are necessary. If the
progression is either short or long, go to the troubleshooting chart and perform
the sequences described there for inaccurate feeding, once the feed
progression has been accurately set and the repeatability is satisfactory, you
are ready for full automatic mode.
