USER MANUAL
MCH100MTX25 Matrix Remover & Slitter
IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE UNIT TO BE USED AS A SLITTER ONLY, TAKE OUT THE WASTE REMOVER CORE.
Warnings
- The main plug of the power supply cord set of AC/DC power supply is considered as disconnecting device of equipment.
- Do not operate the Matrix Remover while wearing loose-fitting clothing or neckties. Serious injury may result. If clothing or fingers are caught in the rollers, immediately disconnect the D.C. connector.
- Keep your hands away from the Matrix Remover at all times while the unit is running.
- When replacing Slitter blades work from the back blade housing to the front. This will minimize the chance of injury since you will not be working over already installed blades.
- When transporting the unit or any time the unit is not in use always lower the slitter station into the down/cut position. This will prevent accidental contact with the slitter blades. The two rollers below the slitter station act as a guard when the slitter station is in the down position.
- To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Operate the unit with only proper electrical specifications as labeled on the unit and the AC adapter.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS MOVING PARTS KEEP FINGERS AND OTHER BODY PARTS AWAY
Note on Media Environment:
50% humidity and 72 degrees Fahrenheit are the optimal conditions for both
storage and use of label stock. Store label stock in protective plastic
wrappings. Rewrap partially used stock. Do not store stock directly on
concrete floors. Label stock should be conditioned in this environment for 72
hours prior to use. Failure to store media in these conditions may result in
media tension problems. Too much humidity will cause labels to curl on the
edges.
RUN A JOB
WARNING: Before starting a new job, always make sure the waste matrix from
the previous job has been removed.
Do not attach the matrix from a different size label to an existing roll.
This will cause an uneven wrap which will cause the material to walk.
| Load the die-cut roll onto the core holder.
Slide it until it touches the roll guide.
Install the outer disk and tighten it using the knob.
Insert the core holders onto their respective supports.
---|---
| Load a cardboard core onto the core holder.
Slide the cardboard core until it reaches the core holder guide stop.
Tighten it using the knob.
Set the waste core holder in its respective support.
| Insert the empty cardboard cores onto the core holder for new
label rolls.
| Pull the media under the first guide then adjust the roll guide.
| Insert the media between the two rollers near the waste core
holder.
At this point separate the matrix from the liner.
| Attach the matrix to the empty cardboard, then use the knob to
release the peeling rollers module.
| Continue pulling the die-cut rolls and manually turning the waste
core holder so that the matrix is wrapped around the waste core at least once.
| Insert the media under the first roller. Proceed by inserting the
media over the next two rollers, then under the last roller.
| Position each cardboard core directly under the new label.
Tighten the core by turning the knob and the guides in place.
Temporarily attach the label directly to the core holder.
This will provide the necessary tension in order to start the slitting
process.
| Align the blades in the alley between each column (label edges
can also be slit using the same step)
You can alternate the position of the thumb screw from the top to the side to
gain easier access and set the blade holders closer.
WARNING!
The slitter blades are very sharp when exposed. Use extreme caution when
working in that area.
SLITTER MODULE
The Slitter Module has 3 settings:
- In upper position (A), the blades are closed to allow the media loading;
- Middle Position (B) Used to align the blades with the center and/or edges of the label. (Use a thumb screw to lock the blade in place once it’s in position;
- Lower Position (C) Used to penetrate the media and start the slitting process.
Screw or unscrew the thumb knob on the blade holder support to move lightly all blades to the right or to the left.
| Turn on the MATRIX REMOVER using the power switch on the back.
Make sure the speed knob is in the slowest position before you switch on the
MATRIX REMOVER.
---|---
| Slowly turn the speed knob.
Run the machine until the slit labels reach the core holder and then turn the
unit off.
| After the slitting setup is complete, remove any unwanted labels
by cutting them off the core holder.
Do this to start a fresh new roll of labels.
| Attach the fresh labels onto the core using a waste label or
tape.
Note:
Make sure the media tension on all rolls is even.
If this does not happen, the entire waste process could be compromised!
| Feed the edge waste under the last roller.
| Turn on the Matrix and slowly increase the speed while observing
the following areas for errors:
1. Matrix Release
2. Matrix Core Wrapping
3. Slitting
4. Finishing Core holder
| When the roll is finished, the unit automatically stops.
HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE BLADE HOLDERS
| Unscrew the black knob to remove the iron slide bar.
---|---
| Slide each blade holder in/out of the slide bar. Place the slide
bar back to its original position then tighten the black knob.
REPLACING THE SLITTER BLADES
| Loosen the two screws holding the blade in place.
Replace the blade.
Secure the blades by tightening the screws back in place.

HOW TO ADJUST THE CLUTCH ON THE UNWINDER
| With the clutch feature, it is possible to control the tension
in the media during the process and
adjust the tightness on the new rewind rolls.
