Page 20 di 29
 AUTOMATIC – AUT

The Automatic cycle enables the repetition of the stored programs.

The progress and the positioning of the square will be automatic if the cutting is carried out, whereas the
descent of the blade is automatic when the square stops on the measure if the function “automatic” has
been programmed.

It can be carried out only if enabled by an external consent, programmed with the function and

entered with the key . The level 4 safety barriers are compulsory.

In Manual: by pressing the blue key the last carried out program will be entered.

In Programming: by pressing the blue key the stored program will be entered.

In List of Programs (Directory): by pressing the blue key the list of programs is displayed,
first in numerical and then in alphabetical order. The research is carried out as in semiautomatic mode.

Confirm with then

The square will position on the first step of the program and, after the first manual cutting, on the following
one.
If programmed and in progress, the blade will descend automatically.
If the function of automatic mode has not been stored, the cut will be carried out only by pressing the cut-
keys.

If the positioning has been carried out by pressing the key, that cut will be manual.

Pre-arrangements

The equipment has been provided with:

- as concerns the hardware:

- analogical outlet to control the cc or ac actuations

- RS 232 serial for the connection to:
- bar-code reader for the identification of the work program or

Page 21 di 29
 - PC for the external programming of the equipment or to save the programs on the disk or
- connection to the terminal of the CTR , Real Time Control, to transmit the production data to
the net PC of the CTR.
The relevant software can be supplied upon request.

- as concerns the software, it has been pre-arranged in order to select the function
modes:

- with actuations:
- only as square positioner (by selecting the parameter 9 – HW of the sp. Quota 2)
- automatic cutting
- outlet no. 4 of K 13 – as control of the safety block or of the slow forward movement of the square
(inlet no. 19 of K 14a – 24 v).

Upon request we can add the function of fast cutting cycle for repeated cuts in automatic.

SPECIAL QUOTAS - PARAMETERS OF THE PAPER CUTTING MACHINE

To enable the installation of the EG Control equipment on every kind of paper cutting machines, some
compensation parameters of the various mechanical inertiæ and of the response times of the electro-
mechanical system have been prearranged.
These parameters are set upon installation and some of them can be modified by the user in order
to compensate for any mechanical wear and, consequently, response times due to the use.

They are subdivided according to the functions they regulate:

They are accessible: directly

1 SPECIAL QUOTAS SQUARE

Braking quota Space of intervention of the brake.

It’s a fundamental parameter for the accuracy.
If the positioning occurs always before or after the
desired measure, change this quota correspondingly, i.e. increase or
decrease the quota of an equivalent value.

Ejection quota Space covered forwards by the square before moving backwards.
It is carried out only if entered in the program.

Slow starting quota It is the space covered by the square at low speed after the cutting to
avoid a too sharp starting.

Approaching quota It’s the space that the square has to cover at low speed before each
positioning. It allows an optimisation of the slowing down time.

Braking tolerance Error admitted during the positioning.

If exceeded the writing appears : BRAKING ERROR

Min. quota limit stop It’s the measure beyond which the saddle moves forward
at slow speed.
It allows reducing the measure of the cutting on the front limit
stops.

Min. quota It’s the measure beyond which the program doesn’t accept
quotas. It allows reducing the risk of bumps on the front table.

Recovery quota Space covered by moving backwards beyond the quota, in order to

Page 23 di 29
 recover any possible mechanical clearance.

Min. trimming quota In labels programming, it enables the smaller trimming values of the
braking quota.

Square starting It allows the delay of square starting if the presser limit stop is
delay time not present.

Brake time in Intervention time of the brake on the screw in the Reaching Quota
reaching quota functions.

Reverse time It allows discharging the energy accumulated by the

forw. – backw. electromechanical organs in motion.

Quota Check Time It’s the evaluation time of any possible positioning error.

For actuations:

Min. speed Slow positioning speed

Max speed Max. speed in automatic

Max. speed in manual Max. speed in manual. It may coincide with the previous one.

Acceleration It adjusts the time needed to reach the max speed.

2 SPECIAL QUOTAS CUTTING

Automatic air ON/OFF Enables or disables the function of continuous air on the table.
If ON the air returns after each cutting without pressing

the white/blue key again.

Blade delay ON/OFF Enables or disables the function which adjusts the delay
between the descent command of the presser and of he blade.
It is enabled when some soft material must be cut.

Blade delay time Adjusts the delay between the descent commands of the presser and
of the blade.

It is enabled by pressing the white/orange key .

Page 24 di 29
Fixed time blade delay Adjusts the fixed time of delay between the descent command of the
presser and of the blade, and it depends on:
- the kind of paper cutting machine
- the presence of separated pressure and blade actuators.

No. of carried out It’s the calculation of the number of carried out cuttings between
cuttings each blade change. The computation does not takes place if the cuts
counter parameter is ON.

Cuts counter Once the programmed number has been reached, it is displayed on
the screen by the symbol in the inlets status zone.
It’s a useful indication to evaluate the right moment for blade
change.
