2. 3 Starting the Punchcard PRO

THE MACHINE IS DELIVERED WITH A STARTING NOTICE STICKED ON THE PUNCHCARD PACKAGING. IT WILL ALLOWS YOU TO SET THE PRESSURE REQUESTED FOR CARDS WITH A THICKNESS OF 800μ OR LESS (*) DIECUTTING. THIS PROCADURE MUST ABSOLUTELY BE FOLLOWED DURING THE FIRST START OF THE MACHINE, OR AFTER ALL MACHINE DEPLACEMENT.

(*) The die cutting pressure is adjustable and directly proportional to pump speed, which itself depend from the tension of the electrical network. In order to protect the equipment, the pressure is volontarly bring down before delivery, and must be adjsut during installation.

Starting procedure of the machine

- Level the machine, - Install 2 10 Amps fuses in the general power plug, - Plug the electrical cable, - Place the function mode button (n° 16) in MANUAL position and ensure that the

emergency button is not engaged.

- Position a laminated PVC sheet of 800 microns thickness in the diecutting tool by using the manual roller gear n° 2,

- Switch on the main power. The pump will start, and the cycle will make an initialisation cycle (up and down). In the first try, the sheet WILL NOT be die cut.

BE CAREFULL : NEVER ACTIVATE THE EJECTION BUTTON IF THE SHEET IS NOT CUT. THIS WILL BRAKE THE EJECTION MECHANISM.

Page 12: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page 11

- Switch of the machine or activate the emergency button. - Increase the hydraulic pressure by turning the adjsutment screw on the hydraulic

groupe of half a turn and make a second try.

- If the PVC sheet is not diecutted, redo the procedure since the 3 cards are diecutted. Once achieved, tighten the 2 nuts.

- Switch off the machine, move hte sheet forward and check the settings. The Cards must be diecutted and lift up into the female parts of the die cutting tool.

- If the cards are correctly cutted, you can use the ejection button to lift up the cards.

SECTION 3 FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED TO EACH MODE

The Punchcard PRO can work in 4 different automatic modes

- Automatic Mode without crop mark optical detection > Die cut white cards - Automatic Mode with crop mark optical detection >- Manual Mode > used for settings before production- Technical mode> Diecutting tool amplification and hydraulic trigger settings.

The First three mode are accessible by the user with button n° 16, the last one is only accesssible to a qualified maintenance operator.

33.. 11 DDeessccrriippttiioonn ooff tthhee tthhrreeee uusseerr mmooddeess ::

3.1.1 Automatical diecutting with crop mark detection:

In that mode, the diecutting position in the vertical way is define by a printed black spot. Each time a crop mark will be detected by the optical sensor, a diecutting cycle will be initiated. In that mode, a final diecutting cycle is initiated after the end of each sheet. The length of the sheet and the number of diecutting cycle per sheet are not limitated. Technical margin must be respected see chapter 3.2

Exemple : on a 311 mm X 457 mm sheet with 7 lignes of 3 cards, 8 cutting cycle will be executed.

When the n° 16 button is in OPTICAL DETECTION mode, the full diecutting cycle for one sheet will be the next one:

- a – a green led and an orange led are alighten on the optical amplifier. - b – A soon as a sheet is bring at the roller entry, it is detected and taken away. The

orange ligth switch off.- c – the sheet will stop when the first spot will be detected, the orange light will switch

on again. - d – The male die cutting tools will go up for the die cutting of the first row of cards- e – The rollers will run again up to die cut the next raw of cards approximately 57mm

after, and the die cutting process will happen again 7 times.- f - After the last cut is complete, the rollers will run for a while to eject the skeleton

and the male die will go up and down one last time. - g – The accounting system increased each time a die cutting cycle occurs (3 cards). - h - As soon as the rollers stop, a second sheet can be inserted.

Page 14: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page 13

The card holder can handle approximatively 3 colomnus of 300 cards 800 μ, which means approx. 40 sheets 21 up. To eject the cards, first put the mode button in MANUAL position., than press on the ejection button. The columns of cards will rise from approx 12 cm. Once the cards have been removed from the card holders, press once more on the ejection button to bring back down the lifting system.

3.1.2 Automatical diecutting without crop marks:

In this mode, the position of the die cutting is fixed, determinated by the programmation. Since a sheet is detected and that it is possible to do a die cutting cycle, it will be done, what ever the sheet length is.

Exemple : on a 311 mm X 457 mm sheet with 7 lignes of 3 cards, 7 diecutting cycle will happen.

When the button n° 16 is in position WHITES CARDS position, a full cycle is the next one:

- a – A green and orange light on the optical fiber electronic are switch on- b – As soon as the user puts the sheet to those rollers, they will take it. The orange

light on the optical fiber electronic device will then switch off.- c – The first die cutting process will happen approximately at 80mm of the top edge of

the sheet the orange light will switch on again. - d – The male die will go up to cut the first row of 3 cards- e – The rollers will run again up to die cut the next raw of cards approximately 57mm

after, and the die cutting process will happen again 7 times.- f - After the last cut is complete, the rollers will run for a while to eject the skeleton- g – The accounting system increased each time a die cutting cycle occurs (3 cards).

What ever is the type of template used, next informations must be noticed :

- Spots must be on the right side when the machine is with manual feed. In that case, the optical fiber is on the right side.

- Spots must be on the left side when the machine is with automatic feed. In that case, the optical fiber is on the left side.

- Top and bottom die cutting crop mark corresponding to die cutting shape are used to check the skew during feeding. Use the right one in case of manual feed and the left one in case of automatic feed.

- The red shape noticed Iso format size is positioned in comparaison with the top of the black crop mark.

In order to avoid losing time with settings, it is better to always print off of the same template, and with a consistent positioning on the sheet.

Notice that the final default notice on the card is the sum of the default due to printing of each side, lamination and diecutting. Next indications can be given on each phases:

See next table:

Phase Précautions

Printing

- Check that sheet are correctly diecutted before printing - Check centering and sckew of both front and back during printing, - For the front side and the back side check if the horizontal and the vertical positions of the cards are the same. - Check if the printing quality and density for all colors are correct.

Lamination

- Ensure that front, back, middle core and overlay are correctly registered together. - The side that will be used as reference for diecutting must be the one positionned near from the edge of the plates. - To get the best results, the face with the higest coverage must be diecutted face down.- The lamination parameters must be set so that the lamination will be correct while avoiding too much deformations.

Diecutting

- Check skew and horizontal positionning of the cards. - Cut the pages with the front side in contact with the paper guides - On the first sheet, check manually that all the spots are correctly detect by the optical fiber.

In order to adjust sheet introduction, refer to R1 and R2 crop marks printed on the templates. Proceeding this way will allows you to ensure the perpendicularity of the cards rows comprativly to the die cutting side edge. If deformations during lamination are too much important, the crop marks may not be correctly detected.

Page 22: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page 21

The optical system is based on 2 fibers (one emitting, one recepting), a lens, 2 plugs and an optical signal amplifier. The emetting fiber will send a ligth signal on a flat surface, perpendicular to it, and the recepting fiber will bring back the refracted light on the surface. The lens will focus the light signal. The plugs will positionned correctly the 2 fibers in the amplifier. The amplifier will transform the light signal in an electrical one, which will then be used by the electronical board of the machine. Depending from external conditions (light, colors of the substrates, dust, lens dirtyness, scolors of the spots…), imprecisions in te diecutting position may happen. Most of the time, a calibration will be necessary, and enough to solve the issue. The amplifier may rarely lose its values, which will also request a calibration.

44.. 33 OOppttiiccaall ssiiggnnaall aammpplliiffiieerr ccaalliibbrraattiioonn::

The electronic device is an amplifier that will, depending from the value read, start the die cutting process. The calibration consists of deciding and saving the best detected value to start

the die cutting cycle.

4.3.1 How to determine the triggering value :

- Put the mode button in Manual settings (Middle)- Pass a sheet with crop marks through the rollers and check that each time a crop

mark is under the optical fiber, the orange light of the amplifier switches on. Then note all the values display on the screen of the optical fiber device, as it is shown underneath.

4.3.2 Information about the values displayed on the amplifier

- The minimum difference between VN and VB must be at least of 200. - The maximum value displayed is 1023. This value should appear only if the optical

fiber is not mechanically correctly set. The field experience shows that

- The values ‘’ white‘’ should be between 500 and 900, - The values ‘’ crop marks ‘’ should be between 100 and 300.

Before proceeding to a new calibration, remove dust from the diecutting tools by blowing dry air, and ensure that the 2 optical fibers are correctly inserted in there holes; the emetting dow aand the receptive up (the receptive has got a white stripe on it. It may sometimes be necessary to cut the optical fiber. In that case, only a proper cutting tool must be used ( delivered with the fiber itself. It is forbidden to cut it with cutter, cissors or knife, it will damage the fiber on several cetimeter length.

If an amplifier sensibility adjustment is necessary, the values will be different than the one previously obtain. A new triggering value adjustment will be necessary. In order to obtain a good calibration, what is important is to obtain that the values of white area versus black stops will be really differents. It can commonly be observe that the change of values between a white and a black area is not immediate. Commonly, by changing from few decades the programmed triggering value, the diecutting positionning can be sligtlhy adjust comparatively to the template, and therefore limitate the possible fluctuation.

On this model, the cards ejection is hydraulic. The operator can activate up or down movement from the ejection jack with the button n°11.

BE CAREFULL : pressure is set to diecut cards of max 800μ thickness. If the cards are thicker, there is a risk that the cards will not be diecut correctly and therefor stand in the skeleton.

IN THAT CASE, OR IN ANY CASE WHERE THE CARDS ARE NOT CUT CORRECTLY, DO NOT TRY TO EJECT THE CARDS, IT WILL BRAKE THE JACK.

Page 28: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page 27

In normal working, it is possible to set the speed of the cards ejection. To adjust the speed when going down, we adjust the quantity of oil that gets out from the bottom oil chamber of the jack. To adjust the speed when going up, we adjust the quantity of oil that gets out from the up oil chamber of the jack. Generaly speeking, it is better to have a going movement a bit faster than the going down one.

Trouble Cause(s) Actions

a) Amplifier sensibility is too high, a) Reduce sensibility from 1

point and rebuilt a calibration.1 – Values detected on

white area on amplifier are allways equal to 1023.

b) The clamp is too low. b) Readjust higher the diecutting tool position

a) The optical lens is dirty or an optical fiber is not correctly connected to the amplifier,

a) Démonter le bloc porte fibre et nettoyer la lentille et reconnecter les fibres . 2 – The difference

between VB and VN is under 100. b) The clamp is too high. b) Readjust lower the

diecutting tool position

a) The Hydraulic pressure is too low or the sheets are too thick.

a) If thickness is within the specifications, increase the pressure.3 – After diecutting, the

cards stay stick on the skeleton. b) The male die cutting tool does not go

up enough in the female one. b) Readjust the lower positon of the diecutting tool.

4 – when using thin sheets, the sheet stick on the diecutting tool.

a) The clamp is too high. a) Readjust lower the diecutting tool position

A special connector is given with the machine that allows to swop the machine in technical mode. This mode allows to move the die cutting tools and ejection system manualy, with no interaction of the program. This will be necessary to proceed to tool settings (down position, latitude, ejection system speed…)

To start the machine in technical mode, proceed as follow :

From the UF7-33160 serial number, the model of the optical amplifier has changed. This new model (KEYENCE) allows the operator to achieve a calibration more easily than on the former model.Apart from the calibration method of the amplifier, the rest of the optic chain doesn't present any difference; which mean:

- Integration of the optic fiber in the tool,- Positioning of the fiber and interchangeability.

To conduct an automatic calibration easily as indicated here over, it is necessary:

- To place a white zone under the optical fiber,- To push during three seconds the button set and to maintain it press,- To moce forward the sheet with the manual button to make pass all black spot under the fiber,- To continue to move to position it on the white zone situated after the last spotlight and finally to loosen the button set. The calibration is finished then.

Page 41: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page_40

Page 42: Uf7 - User Manual v2.1 - Eng

Page_41

If the calibration is achieved correctly, the led is lit every time that a black spot is read by the optical fiber. If the working of the led is reversed it is necessary to pass the amplifier in the mode : DARK ONE (d one) as indicated here under.
