Operation Steps

How to set the silencer:

1. Load and fix the self-wound lamination roll onto the core holder.
2. Use knob (A) to unlock the silencer, then set it down over the lamination roll.
3. Pull the lamination end over the aluminum roller.

How to load the waste:

1. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to allow the waste removal arm to open and pass the media through the two rollers as shown in the photo.
2. Peel off the waste from the liner.
3. Attach the waste to the cardboard core located on the core holder. Allow the press roller to fall down over the waste roll.

Different modes to remove the waste:

1. Fix the tight knobs.
2. Remove the waste following the standard steps.

How to set the slitter module:
The Slitter module has 3 positions:

• Upper position (A): Blades are at their highest for media loading.
• Middle position (B): Blades are slightly lowered and can be moved from right and left to find the desired position where to perform the longitudinal cut. Tighten the screw to fix the blade holder in position.
• Lower position (C): Blades cut through the media.

How to use the splice table:

1. Clamp (A) is used to secure the bracket down over the media already loaded through the unit.
2. Load the new media roll onto the unit, then align it with the old media from the last job. Use clamp (B) to secure the bracket down on the new media.
3. Use a cutter to cut the excess media along the lines.
4. Join both media ends together by applying tape above and underneath the ends. Once complete, release both clamps.

How to add or remove a blade holder:

1. Release the knob (A) to remove the supporting iron bar.
2. Slide in the additional blade holder or slide out the unnecessary one.
3. Reinstall the supporting iron bar and tighten the knob.

LAYOUT AND SIZE

MEDIA PATH

INSTALLATION

Insert the two studs (on the rewinder module) into the slots located on the unwinder module. Then secure them together with four allen screws.

With a wrench, you can raise or lower each foot by turning the bolt left or right. This should assist in leveling the unit.

• Clockwise > raises the unit
• Counterclockwise > lowers the unit

OPERATION STEPS

How to set the silencer
Silencer accessory is used to drastically reduce the noise generated by noisy self-wound lamination applications.

• Load and fix the self-wound lamination roll on to the core holder. Pull the lamination end over the aluminium roller.
• Use knob (A) to unlock the silencer, then setting it down over the lamination roll.

How to load the waste

1. Clamp (A) is used to secure the bracket down over the media already loaded through the unit;
2. Load the new media roll onto the unit, then align it with the old media from the last job. Use clamp (B) to secure the bracket down on the new media;
3. Use a cutter to cut the excess media along the lines.
4. Join both media ends together by applying tape above and underneath the ends. Once complete, release both clamps.

How to add or remove a blade holder

1. Release the knob (A) to remove the supporting iron bar
2. Slide in the additional blade holder or slide out the unnecessary one. Reinstall the supporting iron bar and tighten the knob.

How to rotate or replace the razor blade

1. Remove the two screws (A), holding the small iron support securing the blade.
2. Rotate or replace the blade. This razor blade offers four cutting corners. When a cutting corner is worn out, you have the ability to rotate the blade and expose a different cutting corner before having the blade completely replaced.
3. Reinstall the small iron support to screw down the blade in place.

How to cut the external trims
Use the trim removal module to cut the external trims. This will allow you to remove it along with the waste.

Trims removal module has 3 positions:
Upper position (A), the blades are at it’s highest to allow for media loading; Middle position (B), blades are slightly lowered and can be moved from right and left to find the desired position where to perform the longitudinal cut. Tighten the screw to fix the blade holder in position; Route the external trims through the springs (C) and secure it to the waste rewinder (D).

Move the blade holder (A) in the desired position, then use the knob (B) to lock the module in lower position.
Route the external trims oinside the spring (C) and secure it to the waste rewinder (D).

EQUIPMENT

DC-350 unit is assembled by two modules that should be leveled when installing them together:

IMPORTANT!

• The two modules are properly leveled and aligned together for correct operation.
• DO NOT move the unit by yourself or you might compromise the working operation. Please contact Technical Support before taking any action.

UNWINDER MODULE

This module is used to load the your unprinted or printed roll of media and uses pneumatic shafts to secure the roll in place.

Load the input media roll onto the core holder and use the air gun to expand the pneumatic core in order to secure the roll in place. Each core holder is managed by its own controller designed to set the required media tension. The unit does a great job keeping that tension constant even if the roll diameter varies during the job.

1. Display
2. ON/OFF : activate/deactivate the tension control
   • + : increase the media tension
   • – : decrease the media tension
3. Ultrasonic sensor

Display conditions:

• flashing O – F – F = the controller is deactivated
• flashing number = the controller is active and it shows the tension level set

Press and hold “run” will allow the core to spin.
