Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to fatal or serious physical
injuries.

Please precisely follow the work and procedure instructions identified by this sign.
Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to minor physical injuries and
damage to the machine.

This sign denotes tips and tricks from our Development Department, Production
and our Customer Service Department.

Calibrating the cutter head

The following work should only be carried out be specially trained personnel.
(Schleuniger personnel, the users trained personnel).

Remove the guide tube.

Start in the main menu, key
sequence 4 1 f3. To
calibrate the Z axis simply follow
the instructions on the screen.
The gap A is measured on the
contact surfaces for the blades.
Press enter to jump to the field
for the Y axis and press f3.
Then follow the screen
instructions.
The surface of the blade holder
must be flush with the cover
plate. Use a ruler to check this.

The calibrated values are only definitively stored in the memory once you have left the
cutter head screen. We therefore recommend that you exit the screen (f1) after
calibrating each value, otherwise all calibrated values will be lost in the event of an
Emergency Stop.

Transport belts change

Turn off the main switch and disconnect the power plug from the power supply. The
following work should only be carried out by specially trained personnel.
(Schleuniger personnel, the users trained personnel).
Open the safety shield and remove all
wire and insulation waste from the
processing zone.
Loosen the turret guide on the left
transport belts (Fig. 4).
Loosen the left transport belts using an M
4 hex key by turning the screws A and B
in a counter-clockwise direction (Fig. 5).
Loosen the right transport belts with

Right feed belts

Fig. 8. Maximum gap between the feeding belts

The opening between the transport belts is known as the Gap and can be calibrated. The
maximum opening is achieved when the transport belts move apart and reach the end position
switch. Fig. 8 shows the transport belts. The same procedure applies for calibrating the right
transport belt. Before you start the calibration procedure, open the safety shield and remove all
wires. The PowerStrip will take you through the entire calibration procedure which is carried out
in the system parameters screen, with the help of screen texts. The key sequence from the
main menu is:
4
5
f3. (Read also the section entitled Calibrating under System
Parameters in the Operating Instructions).

The calibrating process for feed rollers is exactly the same. The measuring points
are at the same place as on the transport belts.

The following work should only be carried out be specially trained personnel.
(Schleuniger personnel, the users trained personnel). Turn off the main switch.

Setting the Centralizing Force,

Rotary Stripping Unit
The following work should only be carried out be specially trained personnel.
(Schleuniger personnel, the users trained personnel). Turn off the main switch.
Disconnect the power cord.

The centralizing force is set to the maximum at the manufacturers factory. This might mean the
cable centralizers leaving marks on a soft wire. If you therefore wish to reduce the centralizing
force then proceed as described below. The figure shows the Rotary Stripping Unit without its
cover. However, you do not have to remove the cover to adjust the centralizing force:
Loosen the set screw on
the knurled nut.

Hold the cutter head firmly

and rotate the knurled nut
counter clockwise through
180. This reduces the
centralizing force.

still too high then repeat the
procedure.

If you wish to subsequently increase the centralizing force then turn the knurled nut
in a clockwise direction. However, do not turn the knurled nut until it reaches
the stop! The maximum is 90 before the stop.

Changing Wire Guide Tube,

Rotary Stripping Unit
The maximum diameter opening on the Rotary Stripping Unit is 13 mm. If wires with a smaller
external diameter are to be processed this gap must be reduced by using a corresponding wire
guide tube. This will also enable thin wires to be precisely centralized and the blades protected
during the wire feed.
Standard guide tube 8 mm / Optional kit: 6, 4, 2 mm
The wire guide tubes
are not tightened.
They are held in place
by a rubber o-ring. To
change a guide tube
simply pull this out by
the handle.
