INFORMATION ON USING THE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Keys The descriptions of keys in the text are highlighted in grey.

Gap Gap denotes the distance between the feed belts.

Version The PowerStrip can be equipped with a wide range of components

equipment (magnetically-driven guide tube, pneumatically-driven guide tube,
pneumatic wire guides, feed system using feed belts or rollers etc.). For
the purpose of simplicity all procedures are described with feed belts and
a magnetically-driven guide tube.

Repeated text If you read through the Operating Instructions from beginning to end you
will frequently come across text with exactly the same wording. The
reason for this lies in the modular structure of the Operating Instructions.
You can go to an individual subject via the Index and have all the
information on the subject at your disposal in each case.

Software version Details of the current version of the software in your PowerStrip is
displayed in the “Diagnostics” menu (key 5 in the main menu).

Dimensions All dimensions in the tables and drawings are stated in millimetres.
Exceptions to this rule are indicated.

Service A message appears on the display every 30 days to remind you of the
Reminder monthly maintenance interval. You can confirm with “OK” if the
maintenance has been carried out, or press “cancel” if you wish to be
reminded again at a later date.

Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 35

HS / PF
This is the connection for the Hot Stamp Unit (HS = Hot Stamp) or for a wire feeder (PF =
Prefeeder). If you wish to connect both units simultaneously to the PowerStrip you will need a Y
cable.

Prefeeder
A prefeeder can be connected via the HS / PF connection. Production is automatically stopped
in the event of a fault on the prefeeder. With Schleuniger prefeed units, the corresponding
interface cable is supplied with the prefeeder. Otherwise a D-Sub connector can be wired in as
follows:

An Error is displayed if an action requested by the user cannot be carried out, for example the
deletion of a stored and write-protected wire program or if an error occurs during production.

There are also wait boxes which only contain a message and do not demand an answer.
42 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Lists
Some screens display the
parameters and values in
the form of lists. In the
case of long lists you only
see a section of the list on
the screen. Figure 15 for
example shows a list of
different blades. The
position of the bar on the
far right-hand side of the
screen shows you from
which area of the list the
displayed section is taken. Figure 15. Wire program list
For convenient working with long lists switch to second level with f+ and use the function keys f1
to f6. The definitions are explained below.
• Bottom Out: The first field after the list is activated.
• End: The marking column jumps to the end of the list.
• Page_Down: Jumps one page down with the active field and scrolls the list section
accordingly.
• Page_Up: Jumps one page up with the active field and scrolls the list section accordingly.
• Home: Jumps to the beginning of the list.
• Top Out: The first field before the list is activated.

Special field functions

Some fields (particularly numerical fields) have special functions:
• Password: The password is a combination of numbers, stars are displayed in the field. The
number 0 does not work.
• Invisible: Fields are occasionally switched to “invisible” if the value in these fields is of no
relevance.
• Protected: Protected fields can not be activated or edited. Fields are protected for example if
a user has no access rights to a particular field.
• Inch / mm: All fields which contain units of length use the Inch or Millimetre unit. The unit of
length can be selected as required (“User Interface", Page 115).
Corrections: If you leave a field the values are checked, adjusted and displayed again. The user
can exit the field by pressing Õ or enter, by exiting the screen or activating a function (for
example run). If the entered value is not within the permitted range the value is adjusted to the
nearest limit, the cursor remains standing.

Figure 17. Software overview

Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 47

The image in picture 17 shows how the software in PowerStrip is built up. The main menu
consists of 6 menus. You reach further screens and functions from the 6 menus. What does this
mean?

Let us suppose that you are in the main menu and press 1. The screen for menu "Normal wire"
appears. Now press "Default" in the footer. You stay in this screen and the function "Default" will
be executed. If however you press "File", a further screen appears for further entries.

You can find commands for functions not only in the footer. They are also directly integrated in
some screens. Thus for example, you can find the "Stop conditions" in the "Wire list" menu
screen. In this case, move the cursor to the "Stop conditions" field (@) and enter the desired
command.

It is extremely important that you understand the following: by using the

correction functions, you can compensate to a specific extent for incorrect data in
the configuration menu. By doing this however you create “corrupt data” which
will at some future point cause a fault in production. It is imperative for you to
ensure that the values in the configuration menu are correct. The chapter
entitled Configuration begins on Page 102.
48 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

NORMAL WIRE
To get into the "Normal wire" menu from the main menu press 1. The normal wire menu enables
you to produce single wires quickly and conveniently. Enter the description of your wire (length,
quantity, etc.) and use f3 "Default" to automatically match all processing parameters to this wire.
The “Feeding", "Cutting" and "Options” screens offer you direct access to the processing
parameters if required. Additional screens are used to control a marker unit and access to the
database in which the normal wires are stored. Figure 18 shows the most complex design which
can be produced in the normal wire menu.

A B B B B C
Figure 18. Normal wire

The type of wire is selected in the upper left (Figure 12, Page 40). The following wire types are
available:
• AWG solid: Wire defined as American Wire Gauge with solid conductor.
• AWG stranded: Wire defined as American Wire Gauge with stranded conductors.
• Direct measurements: In this field you determine the internal and external diameters
yourself (0 - 14 mm). Activating both fields for the diameter produces a graphic for entering
your dimensions (I.D. / O.D).
• mm2 solid: Wire defined as square millimetre with solid conductor. There is only a limited
range of permitted diameters (solid wire) available.
• mm2 stranded: Wire defined as square millimetre with stranded conductor. There is only a
limited range of permitted diameters available.

Four values describe the number of wires, to be produced:

• Total: Shows the total programmed quantity.
• Produced: shows how many of the total quantity have already been produced.
• Batch: Shows how many wires are still to be produced by the PowerStrip before the next
stop in production. If you enter 0 here the value of the total quantity will be adopted
automatically.
• Batch Left: Shows how many wires are still to be processed until the batch has been
completed.
When a total quantity has been processed you must first press Reset_qty f2 function key
before you can continue processing. Reset_qty f2 resets the production status.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 49

The wire and stripping lengths are selected with the help of the graphically illustrated wire in
the "Normal wire" menu (Figure 12, page 40).
• Enter the required lengths in each black highlighted field.
• You can change the "Definition" menu field with @ to the "Mesured" and "%-Correction"
fields which you use to carry out length corrections (See Page 146).

The function keys f1 to f6 and f+ are used to change the various parameters in the "Normal
wire" menu, save programs and select marking positions. The function keys refer to the
definitions in the menu footer.

If you press 1 in the main menu

the first level for the Normal wire
settings appears in the menu. The
function keys are used to activate
the definitions in the footer.

1. Save, load & name current wire

(Key sequence to the screen "Save, load + name": Main menu 1 f5 1)
This screen allows you save, load, delete and rename wire programs. A wire program’s data is
contained in four columns. The first column contains the name of the program. Protected
programs are denoted with a key bit on the edge of the left column (AWG flex and Diameter).
The second column contains the diameter. The diameter is specified by a number and two
symbols. The symbols have the following meanings:

A- denotes an AWG
wire, solid

A~ denotes an AWG
wire, stranded

s- denotes the diameter

mm2, solid

s~ denotes the diameter

mm2, stranded

ID stands for the This wire is activated for processing

diameter of the core,

The third column contains the rounded length value. It is stated in inches or mm without any
decimal places. The fourth column gives a graphic illustration of the stripping type.

The database is only definitively updated if you exit the screen by pressing f1.

Save, label
Before you can save a wire file, you must first give it a label, otherwise it will be saved with the
"old" name:

Program step Key sequence

Start in the main menu. Activate the "Label" 1 f5 1 f2
function in the "Current normal wire" screen.

In the screen footer you will now find the alphabet and symbols divided into groups. f+ changes
the footer, giving you another set of symbols. Select the capital letters using f+.

Let’s call our example "PROG1". Program these f3 f4 f3 f6 f3 f3 f2 f1

PROG 1 is now listed in the "Current normal wire" screen. You can not save two wire programs
under the same name. The existing one will be overwritten. However, the PowerStrip warns you
in advance of any program being inadvertently overwritten.

List separators
Any symbol that you can use to label a program can also be used as a list separator. The most
useful however is a comma or a vertical stroke. Wire lists can be sorted according to various
criteria with the help of list separators. The name of a program can for example consist of a
number, an author’s abbreviation, a raw material number and a colour. If these attributes are
separated by a maximum of 3 separators then you can sort a list according to these attributes.
The list separators are defined under "User Interface", Page 115.

Sort
With long Wire list it is convenient to have the wire programs sorted according to specific
codes. The Wire lists in the PowerStrip can be sorted according to the name, the wire
diameter, the length and the type of stripping. You can sort programs in two different ways:
ascending 1,2,3 / A,B,C or descending 3,2,1 / C,B,A:

• Label f2 sorts programs according to the wire name, sub-divided into four categories:

Label ^^^ f2 The ^ symbol stands for the list separator (Page 52). The list
separator is preceded by the comma. It can be defined in the
^ Label ^^ f3
"Configuration", "User Interface" menu (See Page 115). For example,
^^ Label ^ f4 f3 sorts according to the text contained between the first and the
second separator.
^^^ Label f5

• Diameter f3 sorts according to the diameter, sub-divided into three categories:

Number f3 "Number" sorts according to the pure numerical value. "A/d/s" sorts
according to the type of entry (AWG, diameter value or mm2). "- / ~"
A / D /s f4
sorts according to solid or stranded.
-/~ f5

• Length f4 sorts according to the wire length.

• Strip f5 sorts according to the type of stripping on the left or right end.

Feeding
(Key sequence to the "Feeding" screen: main menu 1 f+ f2).
This screen is for altering the feed and stripping speeds as well as the ramps (acceleration).
This is also where you define the pressure on the wire during the feeding and stripping process
as well as the gap between the feed belts left and right.

because the motors

In normal cases a pressure of 0 to 1 is sufficient. However, the pressure must be increased
depending upon the wire composition. The diagram should be seen as a rule of thumb guide.
56 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Gap
This value determines the feed belt opening when the wire is being pulled in and when
processing wires in the “single discard” mode. The distance must be slightly smaller than the
wire diameter.

Long end
This line appears on the screen if the stripping length exceeds the distance between the blades
and the right feed belts. The right feed belts open slightly during the stripping process. This
prevents the belts pressing too forcibly on the wires, a situation which could lead to incorrect
stripping. This measurement should be slightly larger than the wire diameter.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 57

Cutting
(Key sequence to the "Cutting" screen: Main menu 1 f+ f3).
This is where you specify which blades are to process a wire and the operating speed of the
blades. To change functions press @. To get into the menu fields press enter.

Move
The optimum speed with which the blades cut a wire depends very much on the composition of
the wire. For most wires the default values provide the optimum processing results. Power
wires can however often be cut at a faster speed.

Stripping
In the 1st position a blade is always
mounted in a way which can cut
through a wire. In normal cases [Link] 2. position
this will be a V blade, rarer cases a V-blades radius or
radius blade. Die blades can only die blades
be used for stripping. You should
therefore fit these in the 2nd position
which is activated by pressing the
@ sign. The wire is then cut in the
1st position and stripped in the 2nd
position. You must however first
enter the 2nd position under
“Configuration”, "Cutter head"
(Page 102 ). For complex
applications you can also define a
number of positions under
"Configuration" Figure 24. Blade positions
58 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Right cut
This is where you make adjustments to the cutting depth into the insulation for the right end of
the wire. The values entered here are offsets, shallower or deeper, to the values calculated by
the machine based on the wire size.

Left cut
This is where you make adjustments to the cutting depth into the insulation for the left end of the
wire. The values entered here are offsets, shallower or deeper, to the values calculated by the
machine based on the wire size.

Way Back
After the incision is made into the insulation, the blades move back slightly to prevent damaging
the conductor during the stripping process.

Positions
While feeding
After each step the blades move back to the home position during the wire feed. In the home
position "0" the blades are fully closed, in the maximum home position the blades are fully open.
The home position setting can be adjusted. If for example you are processing a wire with a
diameter of5 mm it makes little sense for the blades to retract 18 mm. That takes up time. In this
case for example you would select a home position of 7 mm. This speeds up the processing
time.

Home position Incision Way Back Cutting

Figure 25. Blade home position

Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 59

During blade change

This is where you determine the blade opening during which the blades move from
the 1. to the 2. position (or vice versa). This home position measurement must be
greater than that of the wire diameter. Otherwise the blades jam the wire and can be
broken. Set the measurement E.

Options
Discard / no discard
If discard is activated then a stripped piece of insulation is cut through following a full strip. This
prevents insulation slugs from sticking to the blade. Processing takes slightly longer. If the
function has been deactivated, then the piece of insulation is not cut though. This can result in a
wire jam, depending on the type of wire and insulation material. Processing is slightly faster.

Strip pause (ms)

Extreme elastic insulation materials are sometimes not cut through to the required diameter.
This leads to poor stripping results. You can therefore select a pause during which the blades
pause until the cutting has been completed. The pause range lies between 0 and 9999 ms. This
value is normally set to 0 ms.

No control (Length Encoder)

Length encoder correction

Certain wires are very difficult to transport without slipping, for example hard wires or wires with
a smooth surface. This makes the wires shorter than programmed. The encoder measures the
wire length actually transported, compares this with the programmed length and corrects it
accordingly.

The deviation to the measured length of the encoder is retraced. This correcting action is
retraced 3 times. If the nominal value still is not achieved, an error message is issued.

Restrictions with the encoder: The following factors have a negative effect on the
measurement result of the encoder:
• steep acceleration ramps (inertia of the measurement system)
• differing friction coefficients of the wire surface
• dirt on the encoder
• inaccurate encoder calibration
• inappropriate wire guide diameters
• jerking movements in the wire feed
• wire stretching during the feed process.

The encoder is not a substitute for a good, even wire feed (active prefeeder)! Accuracies of 1/10
mm and less cannot be achieved even under ideal conditions. The results achieved depend
very much on various factors:
• feed speed
• feed ramp
• wire feed
• insulation material
• wire composition and structure
• wire stretching
62 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Length encoder check

This is not a length correction. The encoder is used to monitor any wire movement. If the wire is
not transported even if the feed belts are moving, a wire jam is detected on the wire entrance
area.

Guide tube pause (feeding pause left transport)

For processing the left wire end the wire is transported back with the right feed belts between
the blades where it is processed. To prevent the wire colliding with the guide tube the tube
swivels upwards. To process the next wire the guide tube swivels back down. The wire is
transported onwards from the wire roller virtually simultaneously. The return swivel action of the
guide tube is sometimes too slow for stiff and/or thick wires. This causes the wire to collide with
the blades. For this reason you can program a pause of between 0 and 999 ms during which
the left feed rollers wait before carrying out the transporting action. The pneumatic wire guides
have a positional detection sensor. The wire feed is only started if the wire guides are in
position. A feed pause is not needed here.

Air Jet
Insulation residues can become stuck to the blades and even get into the right wire guide
particularly when processing thin wires and short stripping lengths. The reason why materials
stick is because they are statically charged. These insulation residues can cause a wire jam.
With the air jet device (Option) the insulation residues are blown away from the area of the
blades by compressed air after each cut. The air jet device is also used for wires with a high
talc content in order to reduce the level of dirt.

The duration of the blast of air can be selected between 0 and 999 ms. If you enter "0" the air
jet function is switched off. If you program 1 ms the air jet cycle will only take place whilst the
blades are opening. If you program a longer air jet time than 1 ms then the air jet cycle
continues whilst the blades are opening plus the programmed air jet time.

The ideal air jet time depends upon the composition of the wire and is best determined through
trial and error.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 63

Right full strip

Full strips on the right wire end require special processing. The wire guides must be fitted as
close as possible to the blades to ensure a wire is fed through cleanly. That is why there is only
a gap of approx. 5 mm between the blades and the right wire guide. There are 2 options for the
right full strip:

Blades only
If the required full strip is
between 0 and 5 mm (0
and 0.19"), an incision is made
into the wire and the wire
stripped by the left feed belts.
The slug is stripped off by the
blades and drops downwards. If
a pneumatic wire guide (option)
is fitted to the right of the
blades then a full strip up to 50
mm can be carried out. In the
Slug
process the pneumatic wire
guide swivels from the
processing axis. Figure 28. Full strip, blades

Blades & Belts

If the required full strip exceeds
5 mm (0.19"), a partial strip is
first carried out using the
blades. The wire is then moved
forward and the slug stripped
off by the right feed belts and Slug
ejected.

Figure 29. Full strip, belts

64 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Make sure, that when operating the PowerStrip 9500 with the
CableCoiler 1400 / 4000 the right full-strip-mode is set to „Blade only“.
Reasons:
• No slug in the wire guide tube of the CableCoiler 1400 / 4000.

• No eject-signal, whitch would lead to a premature termination of the

CableCoiler 1400 / 4000.

Ejection
With Single ejection, the finished processed wire is ejected using the right feed belts and only
then is the next wire produced. This kind of processing is recommended if you are working with
a stacker, to complete one wire and eject it before processing the next one.

With continuous ejection the processed wire remains between the right feed rollers and work
commences immediately on the next wire. The ejection procedure is carried out automatically
during the next feed process. This kind of processing is faster, because there is no waste time
for single ejection.

Custom processing
If at least one unit has been defined under “Configuration”, “Custom wire”, then they can be
selected here. If the wire reaches the given position during the processing then the predefined
procedure is carried out. The “Pickup” field of “Custom wire” is not evaluated. In other words,
the belts hold the wire throughout the entire process.

No post processing

Various devices for stacking and winding can be connected to the PowerStrip.
Incorrect handling of these devices can lead to injuries. It is vital to follow the
instructions on the device warning notices and to comply with the safety instructions
in the operating manuals.

Function "No postprocessing" is activated with @, if a WS 3100, WS 500, WS 1000, WS 1500,

CC 2000 or a special device is connected.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 65

WS 3000
Position: To enable the WS 3000 to take the wire from the PowerStrip smoothly and without
any errors it must first be completely stopped. In other words, you determine a position on the
wire on which the wire is to be held by the feed belts until taken by the WS 3000. The starting
point for calculating this position is a specific distance from the blades (Figure 30). This distance
is freely programmable (Configuration, Devices, Distance menu) and in our case is the distance
between the blades and the roller axes. If you now enter the value “0” for “Position” the wire will
be held precisely at the left end.

Position 0

WS 3000

Distance from blades

Figure 30. WS 3000 Position 0

If you enter the value "10" for “Position” the wire will be held at a distance of 10 mm from the left
end (Figure 31). From a purely theoretical viewpoint you could also enter the position 950 on a
wire 1000 mm in length. The wire would then be held at a distance of 950 mm from the left wire
end, although this of course would make no sense.

Kick-off: After the feed belts

have stopped the wire in the Kick Off
programmed position it is
definitively ejected. This
value is known as the “Kick-
off".
The kick-off must always
be greater than the value
programmed under
“Position”.
For our example in Figure WS 3000
31, the kick-off must
accordingly be greater than
10 mm. Figure 32. WS 3000 Kick Off

The two settings "Position" and "Kick-off” enable you to design the kick-off procedure
as it were. If you increase the “Kick-off” value in millimetres the acceleration also
increases. The trick naturally only works if a sufficiently large "Position" value is
simultaneously selected.

Kick-off duration: The kick-off duration depends upon how quickly a wire falls out of the
retaining rail. The retaining rail on the WS 3000 must remain in the up position until the kick-off
procedure has been completed.

Batch: The WS 3000 has an upper, movable tray. Once a batch is complete this tray tips up
and the batch falls into the bottom, fixed tray. You have 5 different versions for removing the
batch:
• With “never stop” the PowerStrip places the 1st batch in the movable tray, tips the batch
into the bottom tray, immediately produces the next batch, tips this in turn into the bottom
tray etc.
• With "stop after each” the PowerStrip places a batch in the movable tray, tips the batch
into the bottom tray and then stops. To continue press f1. This gives you slightly more time
to remove a batch.
• With "stop after every 2nd” the PowerStrip places a batch in the movable tray, tips this into
the bottom tray, places the next batch into the movable tray and then stops. Press f1 to
continue, this procedure restarts from the beginning.
• With “remains at the bottom” the movable tray always remains at the bottom.
• With “remains at the top” the movable tray always remains at the top.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 67

WS 1000 / 1500
Position: See above under "WS 3000, Position".
Kick-off duration: The kick-off cycle needs more or less time depending upon the composition
of the wire. You can set this time in ms.
WS 1000: 300 ms / WS 1500: 40 ms.
Wait after kick-off: If a wire has been ejected it takes a certain amount of time before the WS
1000 / 1500 has returned to the start position. In other words the PowerStrip has to wait before
it can transport the next wire. You can set this time in ms.
WS 1000: 400 ms / WS 1500: 400 ms.

CC 2000
Position: Here you can determine how far from the right cable end the CableCoiler 2000 should
retain the cable.

If the CableCoiler 2000 is activated under "Configuration", further menu point "More_data" (f4)
appears in the footer. If you press f4 , the screen appears with the parameters for operating with
the CableCoiler:

Parameter available settings

@ Clamp Clamp / no clamp
@ Coiling tight Coiling tight / coiling loose: traction 0 to 9
@ Pipe fixed at height Pipe fixed at height / pipe oscillating up to 0.00 to 80.00
Advance per revolution 0.00 to 80.00
Binding position 0,0 to wire length
Max. insert speed 0 to 9
Max. insert ramp 0 to 9

Clamp / no clamp: Here you can determine whether or not the CableCoiler should hold on to
the cable for coiling.

Coiling tight / coiling loose: If the cable is heavy, it does not matter if it is relatively tightly
coiled onto the coiling pins. "Coiling tight" is suitable for this. Glass fibre cable is however highly
sensitive and should only make light contact with the coiling pins. "Coiling loose" is suitable for
this. A range of 0 to 9 is available for both settings.
68 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Pipe fixed at height / Pipe oscillating up to: The Wire guides (pipe) on the CableCoiler guide
the cable to the Coiling pan. There, the cable is wound up by the Coiling pins. Sometimes it is
more convenient if the Coil is wound a little further up on the Coiling pins. Here you can set the
number of millimetres. With "Pipe fixed at height", the cable guides move to the pre-set height
and remain there for coiling. With "Pipe oscillation up to", the cable guides move up and down
within the pre-set dimensions.

Advance per revolution: This point is only active if "Pipe oscillating up to" has been set. This
value determines by how much the pipe shall rise or fall during one revolution of the coiling pan.

Binding position: Let us suppose that you want to bind a 3 m long cable after the half has
been coiled. In this case, enter 1.5 m (1500.0) at "Binding position". The CableCoiler then stops
at this position. You can set the "Binding position" to any point within the length of the cable.
The function is switched off at "0".

Max. insert sped / Max. insert ramp: With "Max. insert speed" and "Max. insert ramp", the
cable is threaded into the CableCoiler by the PowerStrip. Coiling then follows at "Feeding
speed". " Max. insert speed " and "Max. insert ramp" must not be higher than the "Feeding
speed". Higher settings are reduced automatically.

Custom device
If at least one device has been defined under “Configuration”, “Custom devices” you can select

1. Multiple strip
Open the “Multiple strip” screen by selecting 1. The multiple strip is suitable for stripping
highly adhesive insulation materials. In the graphics at the top of the screen you will see which
dimensions you are entering.

Parameters available settings

Position 0 to wire length minus 0.1 mm

> The values and parameters depend upon the settings in the Configuration menu.

Position
This is where you define how far away from the wire-end the innermost cut is to be applied.

Pull off length

You can define 2 pull off lengths. The left value defines the strip on the innermost cut. The right
value defines the other pull off lengths.

Number of pieces
This is where you define into how many pieces the PowerStrip is to strip the section specified
under “Position”. This is used for example on extremely adhesive insulation materials. The
more adhesive the insulation material the higher the number of pieces.

Maximum length of piece

If the maximum possible stripping length of a specific wire is known you can enter this value
here.
74 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Blade
This where you can select the blade defined under the “Cutter” screen. If only one blade has
been defined the field is blocked.

Diameter
This is where you enter the wire diameter (shield diameter, internal diameter etc.) for V blades
and radius blades. The menu field @ takes you to a field in which you can optimise this
measurement. The adjustment range for this measurement depends upon the settings in the
Configuration menu. Optimisation is used in particular for custom blades.

Way back
After making an incision in the insulation the blades move back slightly to prevent the wire being
damaged during stripping.

Discard
See “Discard, no discard” Page 59. In multiple stripping the PowerStrip only carries out steps
which do not come into contact with the wire.

More_data
By pressing f4, you open the screen "Multiple strip: process". This function enables you to
determine the stripping speed and the pull off ramp, each within a range from 0 - 9.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 75

2. Steps
Pressing 2. takes you to the "Steps: Strip" screen. The step strip is suited for wires with
several layers, witch can be stripped in steps. In the graphic at the top of the screen you will see
which measurement to enter. You can define 3 levels for the wire-ends in each case.

Parameters available settings

This is where you determine
in which sequence the
programmed cuts and
stripping are processed.
Using @ menu field you can
switch between 1, 2, 3 and
step. these four options
open up a range of
combinations for step
stripping. You can therefore
adjust the sequence of the
work steps to the properties
of your wire. Let us assume Figure 38. Processing sequence 1, 2, 3
that you have entered 1 in
the first column on the screen, in the second column 2 and in the third 3. The operating process
will then proceed as shown in Figure 38. In this mode you can use a different pair of blades for
each strip.
76 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

In the next example we will

select the sequence 1, step, 1
step. In this event the operating
process proceeds as shown in
Figure 39. The incisions and
stripping are carried out using Step
Step
the same pair of blades.

Diameter
This is where you enter the wire diameter (shield diameter, internal diameter etc.) for V blades
and radius blades. The menu field @ takes you to a field in which you can optimise this
measurement. The adjustment range for this measurement depends upon the settings in the
Configuration menu. Optimisation is used in particular for custom blades.

Way back
After the incision has been made in the insulation the blades move back slightly to prevent the
wire being damaged during stripping .

Pull off length

This is where you determine the pull off lengths. If a pull off length is greater than the value
entered under “Position” then a full strip is carried out. If the pull off length is smaller the
insulation residues remain on the wire and we have a partial strip.

Discard
See “Cut, do not cut”, Page 59.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 77

Default

Default is used to reset all process data to the fixed values (see also next sequence).

More_data
Using f4 opens the screen "Steps: process". This function enables you to determine the
stripping speed and the pull off ramp, each within a range from 0 - 9.

3. Rot. Steps (RS machine only)

Pressing 3. takes you to the screen "Rot. steps: Rot.". Here you process wires with several
layers, using the rotating cutting unit. This saves the changes from V-blades to radius blades.
With the rotating cutting unit you can also process "problem insulation materials" and shielded
cables. The graphic in the screen shows you which values to enter.

Position
This is where you define how far away from the wire-end the incisions are to be made.

Diameter
This is where you enter the diameter to which the rotary cutters are to make an incision.

Time ms
Extremely flexible insulation materials are sometimes not completely cut to the required
diameter if the blades move back too early. In this event you can enter a “cutting pause” here.
The blades will then rotate at the programmed diameter for slightly longer and the insulation is
cleanly cut.

Default
Resets all process data to the preset values and calculates the stripping parameters. The
stripping parameters are based on the values in the "Rot. Steps: Rot." screen.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 79

f4 takes you to the screen "Rot. steps: strip".

Pull off length 0 to 999’999.9mm (39370.075”)
@ Discard @ Discard or @ no discard
> These values and parameters depend upon the settings in the Configuration menu.

Position
This is where you determine at what position the blades are to cut into the insulation piece (see
also programming example "Rot. steps", Page 141).

Set the positions of the strips 0.5 to 1 mm shorter than the positions in screen "Rot.
steps: Rot.". With this setting the blades damage only the slug, if the feeding is a little
inexact.

Order
See "Order" Page 75.

Diameter
This is where you enter the wire diameter (shield diameter, internal diameter etc.) for V blades
and radius blades. The menu field @ takes you to a field in which you can optimise this
measurement. The adjustment range for this measurement depends upon the settings in the
Configuration menu. Optimisation is used in particular for custom blades.

If you carry out all incisions using the rotary cutter only use the V blades for stripping.
In this event the V blades should only cut into the insulation far enough so that the
slug is cleanly stripped.
80 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Way back
After the incision has been made in the insulation the blades move back slightly to prevent the
wire being damaged during stripping .

If you work with a rotary cutting unit, set the way back to "0" and the diameter close to
the conductor diameter. This saves time.

Pull off length

See "Pull off length" under "Steps" (page 76).

5. Window
5. is for opening the “Window: strip” screen. This mode is suitable for: longitudinal slitting,
individual strips, slit strips, slit windows, multiple stripping using more than 3 steps. In the
“Window: strip” screen you will find two columns. In the left column you define the parameters
for the left cut, in the right column the parameters for the right cut. Both cuts are measured from
the same wire end. Using the @ menu field beneath the graphic however you can determine
from which wire end the measurements are to be taken.

Window

You can activate and deactivate a column for “Position” using @. On the screen in Figure 43 the
right column is switched to “unused”. In other words, only one cut and one strip will take place
here. At the wire end this would produce a partial or full strip.

Blade
This is where you can select from the blades defined in the configuration “cutting head” screen.
If only one blade is defined under “cutting head”, then the field is blocked.

Diameter
This is where you enter the wire diameter (shield diameter, internal diameter etc.) for V blades
and radius blades. The menu field @ takes you to a field in which you can optimise this
measurement. The adjustment range for this measurement depends upon the settings in the
Configuration menu. Optimisation is used in particular for custom blades.

Way back
After the incision has been made in the insulation the blades move back slightly to prevent the
wire being damaged during stripping .

Pull off length

of the window.

If the strip does not take place on a wire end, we can't talk of a "genuine" strip. The
insulation is just moved.

Footer screen Operations

Edit
Opens the window for the current operation. If for example the cursor is positioned on Operation
1, you can alter the data in this operation using "Edit". This function must not be confused with
the six terms under "Change end" and "Place additional" which define a new end or paste a new
operation.

Sort (Earlier / Later)

The individually programmed operations must run in a logical sequence. PowerStrip uses f3 to
set the optimum sequence itself. However, the user himself can also define a sequence.
Therefore you go with f+ to the second level and shift the cursor to the operation you want to
change. Using "Earlier" and "Later" creates the sequence you want. Sorting should not be used
for special sequencing. Use earlier / later to manually set sequence.

Paste
This function is for inserting the operation from the temporary file into a required position on the
wire. To do this use press f4 "Paste".

Cut
This function is used for cutting out an individual operation on the wire. To do this use enter or
Õ to move the cursor to the required position and then press f5 "Cut". The operation is stored
in a clipboard and can then be reinserted at a different position on the wire.

"Cut" and "Paste" is used in the programming example "Area", page 137.

File
These Functions are identical with "File" in normal wire (page 47). In addition we have here the
function "Convert from normal wire". You find the information for this function on page 136 in the
programming example "Multiple strip".

Feeding
These functions are identical with "Feeding" in normal wire (page 55). But the line "Strip" is
missing. The stripping parameters for Custom wires have to be set individually for each
operation.
94 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Cutting
These functions are basically the same as "Cutting", normal wire (page 57). The differences are
explained below.

> These values and parameters depend upon the settings in the Configuration menu.

Move
See "Move", page 57.

Cutting
@ enables you to select the required blade. When making an incision into a wire, the blades
move to the zero point. To enable the wires to be cleanly cut the blades cut 0.5 mm further at
the zero point. This is normally sufficient. For specific wires however it is practical for the blades
to travel slightly further. “Cutting” enables you to set the additional distance which the blades
should cut.

The distance between the blades and the contact point on the right feed belts is 52 mm. If you
now intend to produce a wire on which the length of the remaining insulation is less than 52
mm, the right feed rollers are no longer able to grab and feed this short wire. In this case switch
to “short mode” by pressing @, the right feed rollers open. Remove the exit guide so as not to
hinder the processing. Then program the cutting and stripping processes. Note the sequence of
steps in this context.

WIRE LIST
In the Wire list you can process different wires of the same diameter one after the other. The
individual wire programs are loaded from the standard and special wire databases. You can
save the Wire list as a unit and call it up again. To get into the Wire list menu select 3 from the
main menu. Pressing enter moves the cursor to the input fields. Pressing @ changes the
functions.

The production of the wire lists takes place without waste between the wires as the software
precalculates the activation of cable processing devices before the blades (markers, rotary box
etc.).

Example of wire list without waste

Inkjet Rotary blade V-blade

Wire 3 Wire 3 Wire 2 Wire 2 Wire 1 Wire 1

Waste part

You can avoid waste if at the beginning of the wire list you select a wire program
without devices. The total length of all wires in this wire program must be greater than
the largest device distance.

in the "Wire list" menu
refer to the definitions in
the screen footer:

• Exit = f1

• State = f2

process. This applies, for example, if you wish to remove the completed wires in a Wire list out
of the collecting container before the next list is started. In this event you would switch to “After
Wire list” using @. You have 5 Stop conditions available:

none No stop condition has been activated. The number of programmed Wire
lists is being processed without a pause.
Before wire The process is interrupted before commencing to process a wire. You can
for example now enter a new text on the wire marker. The next wire will
then be produced containing this new marking.
After wire The process is interrupted after a wire has been processed. You may for
example be working through a Wire list under "Wire first" and want to
remove the first bundle of wires.
Before + after This is the combination of "Before wire" and "After wire".
wire
After Wire list The process is interrupted each time the Wire list is processed. This makes
sense, if the production is set to "List first". You can now take the bundle of
wires out of the collecting container.

Other definitions in the footer

If the cursor is in the wire list the definitions in the footer change. There are two levels:
1st level: Top out / Home / Pg_Up / Pg_Dn / End / Bottom out / (see also page 42).

2nd level: To reach the 2nd level press f+. The definitions then mean:

Blade (description)
This is where you inform the PowerStrip which type of blade is fitted to which position. Since the
composition of the wires varies to a considerable extent there are also a range of different
cutters:

Standard blades
The Standard blades (V blade) are used for cutting
and stripping. They are suitable for all wires with
normal requirements. Processing using V blades is
very quick. Depending upon the wire however
problems can occur with the stripping since the
blades do not hold the core precisely when cutting.
Figure 51. V-blade

Radius blades
The radius blades are adapted to the wire cross
section and precisely cover the wire. Radius blades
are suitable for use on wires with hard, thin,
extremely flexible and/or very thick insulation
materials. Radius blades are normally used for
stripping and cutting.
Figure 52. Radius blade

Die blades
The die blades are used for stripping and slitting.
These are special tools which are adapted to both
the wire cross section as well as the external
diameter. During processing these blades
centralise the wire and precisely cover the wire,
preventing the wire from being damaged. They are
suitable for stripping extremely difficult materials
(Teflon, Kynar, Wirerap) and for Figure 53. Die blade
applications with stringent safety requirements. The blade movements in the Z axis are
restricted by the software. It is sometimes necessary to stipulate the blade movements in the Z
axis beyond the limit. In this event define the corresponding die blade as a “special blade".

Special blades
This is where you define all other blade categories. The blade movements are not restricted by
the software here and can be adjusted beyond the standard dimensions in the Z axis.

Prefeeder
The prefeeder connection is described in detail on Page 35.

Marking unit
If you wish to connect a marking unit program the distance between the PowerStrip and the
marking unit as well as the "dwell time". (On marking with Ink Jet, "dwell time" is not used).
Also see "Marking" from page 148.

Timeout
The PowerStrip checks to see whether a peripheral unit is operating or not after the machine
starts. If the peripheral unit does not start for whatever reason, then an error message is
displayed. The period before the error message is displayed is known as the "Timeout" and is
adjustable.

Encoder
Distance
If you use an encoder this is where you program the distance between the middle of the
encoder and the blades in mm.

Calibration length

Encoder resolution. Press f3 and follow the instructions on the screen.

Rotary box (Rotary Stripping Unit)

If you use a rotary stripping unit this is where you program the distance between the blades on
the rotary stripping unit and the blades on the cutting head. f3 enables you to calibrate the
value.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 109

Jam detector
Distance
This value denotes the distance between blades and the jam detector. For rollers the figure is
80 mm, for belts 150 mm.

Default
The PowerStrip can use 3 methods for determining the default values. Use @ to select the
required method:
On = The jam detector is always on.
Off = The jam detector is always off.
Auto = The PowerStrip itself decides when to switch the jam detector on or off

WS/CC
This is where you enter the distance in mm between PowerStrip and the relevant activated
peripheral unit.

Combi
HS / PF
During automatic processing the feed on the PowerStrip is interrupted whilst the switch
between Pin 4+5 remains closed. The processing is continued as soon as the switch has
reopened. You can also cut an individual piece to length by initiating a brief pulse to this input.

Combi CAN 28:0

The Combi function is also available via CAN 8:0 (nodes 8, input 0), This is necessary if the HS
/ PF connection is already occupied by a marking unit.

Prepare Production
This setting effects the printing (resp. the incision with the Rotary box or the treatment with all
of the other devices positioned before the cutting axis) of the non-separated wire part after the
last produced wire. Use this setting when you wish to execute run or single several times in
succession, without waste between the individual wires.
If a wire list is produced, then the prepare production-adjustment affects only the unsevered
part of wire after the last wire program in the wire list.
If you are executing run or single only once, leave the prepare production switched off,
otherwise the part of the wire remaining in the machine will be printed and hence become
waste.

• If, for example, you are working with a wire stacker, then under distance right from the blade
enter the distance between the wire stacker input and the blades.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 111

Time
Before: After the system reaches the defined position, a dwell time is inserted. On a wire
winder, for example, the finished wires are stored alternately on two spools. It takes a certain
amount of time to change between the spools. This is where you can set the dwell time.

Signal indicates the time during which a voltage is applied to the output (this is defined below),
for example the pulse time of a marking unit.

After describes the dwell time at the end of the input signal. There are two situations:
• If, at the end of the output signal, there is an input signal, then at the end of this signal the
system waits for the duration of the dwell time.
• If, at the end of the output signal, there is no input signal then the system immediately waits
for the duration of the dwell time.

HS-Plug / CAN-Bus / Internal

Pressing @ activates one of the HS, CAN-Bus or internal connections. You can connect

DIAGNOSTICS

The following work in the Chapter entitled “Diagnostics” should only be carried out by
specially trained personnel. (Schleuniger personnel, the user’s trained personnel)

The PowerStrip comes with sophisticated diagnostic software. This enables you to find out the
cause of faults on the PowerStrip. To access the diagnostics menu from the main menu press
5. Use the diagnostic software to check the following functions:

1. Mechanics (page 118)

2. Display (page 118)
3. Inputs (page 119)
4. Outputs (page 121)
5. Interfaces (page 123)
6. Memory dump (page 124)

The diagnostics operate dependent upon the current PowerStrip operating mode. There are
two operating modes:
• The PowerStrip operates in normal mode, if the Home cycle has been carried out without
any errors.
• The PowerStrip operates in protected mode, if the Home cycle fails or is interrupted by
pressing stop. In the protected mode no motor movements are permitted except those in
the Diagnostics menu.

In the protected mode the motors can move to the mechanical stops at the press of a
key.

If you wish to check the “Mechanics”, “Outputs” and “Interfaces” functions in the
protected mode you need the “Supervisor” access authorisation . (See "Password",
Page 127).

The Home cycle is carried out if you:

• switch on the PowerStrip
• press the unload key
• press the open key.

SETUP
• Stand the PowerStrip 9500 on the Schleuniger original table or on another level working
surface.

If you are using the Schleuniger original table, it is not necessary to screw down the
PowerStrip. On another work surface, you have to attach the PowerStrip with the
locking angle pieces supplied. Otherwise, the machine can move about on the work
surface.
The filters in the floor of the machine are freely accessible with the original table, so
that the cooling air can circulate unimpeded. With other bases, you must ensure that
the cooling air can flow freely (danger of over-heating).

OPERATION

Loading wires
• Insert the guide tube and the right wire guide at Ø 3 mm. (On the PowerStrip 9500 RF also
fit the left wire guide between the turret guide and the left feed rollers).
• Undo the milled screw on the turret guide, rotate the turret guide, until the 3 mm diameter
hole is facing upwards. Tighten milled screw.
• Close the safety shield and turn the main switch on. (Depending upon the software version
the screen may remain dark for up to 5 seconds before starting).
• Select the “Standard Wires” menu by pressing 1. Press @, until “mm2 wire” is displayed in
the top right of the menu field, then enter 0.75. Press F3 Default.
• Insert a 0.75 mm2 wire beneath the pin of the wire end switch and through to the middle of

When loading a wire make sure that the gap between the feed belts is adjusted to the diameter
of the wire. You must therefore program the wire before you load it into the PowerStrip. The
sequence for the loading procedure is as follows:

• Close the safety shield and switch the PowerStrip on.

• In the Standard Wires menu program a wire with the required dimensions, excluding
stripping lengths. After you have entered the dimensions it is imperative to press Default
f3.
• Return to the main menu and activate the “Custom Wires” menu f1 2.
• Select “Product from Standard Wires”, key sequence: f5 3 f1 f1.
• Insert the wire beneath the pin/wire end switch and through the rotary stripping unit (if
necessary press open). However, the wire end should not yet make contact with the feed
belts.
• Press close, the wire is now pre-centralised and you can slide it between the feed belts. For
very curved wires you may have to open the safety shield, place the wire between the belts
by hand and then close the safety shield.
• Press load/unload, the wire is pulled in and cut.
• You can now start programming your custom wire.
• To remove the wire from the PowerStrip press load/unload and pull the wire out of the
rotary stripping unit.

Information on the Programming Examples

The programming procedure can best be explained with the help of practical examples. The
following conditions are required for the programming examples shown below:

• Standard wires: We use a 0.75 mm² wire for all programming examples in the Standard
Wires menu. In this context, all parameters such as diameter, reset, clamping pressure etc.
are set by the PowerStrip itself. All you do is enter the lengths and quantities.

• Custom wires: For the programming examples in the Custom Wires menu we enter all
parameters ourselves or we “alter” a wire from the Standard Wires menu. Because of the
extreme diversity of standard wires there is no guarantee that you will have precisely the
same wires as shown in the programming examples. Depending upon the properties and
dimensions of your wire therefore it is possible that the programming examples will not
proceed smoothly. You will therefore have to adjust the parameters accordingly. The
programming examples for custom wires are more of a theoretical nature and require a
certain amount of experience with the materials.

• Programming examples using peripheral devices require these devices to be correctly

connected and in proper working order.

We recommend that you first carry out the programming examples in the Standard
Wires menu.

If you use the PowerStrip 9500 straight ex-works the configuration will be correctly
programmed and the following programming examples can be smoothly carried out. If
the PowerStrip has already been in use elsewhere you must ensure that the
configurations correspond to those “direct ex-works”. To this end you should contact
an experienced user or your Customer Service Department. If you possess the
corresponding knowledge yourself you can also run through the “Configuration”
chapter (Page 102). This requires a good knowledge of the materials and should only
be carried out by experienced users.

Programming examples Custom wire

Programming example, multiple strip
The simplest way to program a multiple strip is by using a standard wire. In other words, we first
program a standard wire because all the stripping parameters for these wires are automatically
calculated. We then call up this wire in the “Custom Wire” menu and modify it according to our
requirements. You can of course also program a multiple strip directly in the “Custom Wire”
menu. In that case however you will then have to enter all the processing parameters by hand.
For our example program a wire in the “Standard Wires” menu with the dimensions of your wire,
excluding stripping lengths. After carrying out the programming procedure you must press f3
Default. Load the wire and go to the main menu.

"Zone" enables you, amongst other things, to place various marking designs in different zones
on the wire. This is a convenient feature particularly when working with long wires. A 5 m long
wire for example can be marked close to the ends and you can select a longer distance
between the markings in the middle section. You have 3 types of entries available for entering
the data (See "Entry method", Page 82). In the following programming example we will produce
5 wires with evenly spaced marking followed by 1 wire with 3 zones. for the marking we use a
hot stamping device which has been correctly connected and is in proper working order. (See
"Marking", Page 148). The text is prepared on the hot stamping device and for this example
should not exceed a width of 20 mm.

The “Time ms" describes the period during which the rotary blades carry out the incision. This
period is adjustable according to the composition of the wire. Particularly flexible insulation
materials for example need a longer incision time. For our programming example we will leave
the incision time at 100 ms.

You could have the different processing parameters automatically calculated here
using “Default f3”. we will program these processing parameters by hand so you can
see precisely what happens.
142 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

The rotary blades have now been programmed for the incision at the required positions. The
stripping of the insulation materials, the screening and the dielectric is carried out using V
blades or radius blades. We therefore also have to specify the positions at which the V blades
are to start the incision. The blade cutting positions are not precisely above the rotary blades so
as to prevent the V blades just cutting into the slug. Incisions in the slugs are not made down to
the next layer in order to ensure that this is not damaged.

Programming example rot. window / window

In this programming example we will produce 5 coax wires with one window in the middle. The
longitudinal measurements in mm are stated in the graphic. The diameters refer to a standard
cable. For this example use the diameters of your wire. (If you have not already done so, first of
all fit the appropriate special blade (Service Manual, "Blade change", "Blade calibrate"). We
start in the main menu. The main switch is on and the wire has been loaded.

The next step is for us to program the stripping parameters. The piece of insulation to be
stripped from the middle of the wire is not removed completely but instead just partly scored. So
we must select the stripping parameters in such a way that the wire is not damaged.

All processing parameters could now be calculated automatically by pressing f3, but
we want to know exactly what happens. Therefore, we program all processing
parameters manually.

The following figure provides a schematic illustration of the procedure. The process steps 1,2
and 3 apply to both incisions of course. The scoring by the V-blades is carried out to the middle
of the slit piece of insulation.

Length corrections
The material properties of a wire can produce length deviations. Length deviations also occur if
the wire is not fed correctly. This can happen, for example, if a wire guide is too tight on the wire
or if the wire reel is tangled.

For length corrections it is assumed that the configurations under “System

parameters” are correct. If in doubt, please read the sections entitled “System
parameters, calibrate” on Page 113.

We can correct the length in two ways:

• The general correction: All parameters will be corrected by one correcting factor. It works
for normal wire and custom wire.
• The actual value correction: Every parameter is corrected separately. The actual value
correction works only for normal wire, because on custom wire are all positions set
manually.

The general correction

The general correction is advisable particular for “problem wires”. In other words, if you know
the composition of a wire and know that the lengths are being produced repeatedly too long or
too short, you can apply a general correction in this case. The general correction affects every
value but applies the same correction factor to all values. For example: you have programmed
a wire 120 mm in length (nominal value) in the “Normal wire” menu, the test wire however
measures 110 mm (measured value). Use the following formula to calculate the correction
value or enter the measured value in the "measured" field and the machine will calculate the
correction value automatically.

NEW Nom. Value 120

CORRECTIO = old correction factor z -------------------- = 100 z -------- = 109,09
N FACTOR measured 110
value

Now enter the correction value in the "% correction” field. To get into the “% correction” field in
the "Normal wire" menu switch @ in the “Length” field (key sequence: main menu 1 3 x enter).
Don’t forget that when making further corrections you must take into account the original
correction. If for example a wire 121 mm in length is now produced, then the new correction
factor is not 99.17 but 108.19. To reset the correction value to 100%, press f4 (Reset_corr.)
under the normal wire menu.

In the menu custom wire, you find the field for corrections in the screen "Custom wire:
name" in the last line.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 147

Actual value correction

A more precise method is to make a correction via the actual values (each value individually).
Here, you enter the actual value measured for each deviation measured. In other words, you
measure the total length, strips and windows and enter these values. The PowerStrip will then
calculate the correction.
Let’s assume you have produced the test wire via single from the programming example 2 on
Page 132 . The total length is 3 mm too short = 247 mm, the stripping length is left is 2 mm too
long = 27 mm and the pull-off length right is 5 mm too short = 25 mm.

27 instead of 25 25 instead of 30

Figure 73. Wire actual value correction

Make your corrections as follows:

Program step Key sequence

Go to the field for the total length (nominal enter enter enter
values) by pressing enter

Enter the total length measured at “actual @ 247 enter

values”.
This gives the new calculated % correction.

Enter the measurement for the left pull-off 27 enter 8 enter

length. We will leave the stripping length as
it is. 0 remains unaltered.

Enter the measurement for the right pull-off 25 enter 10 enter

it is.

If you wish to delete correction values you should only do this using f3 and f4 not by
entering 0 in the corresponding field.

MARKING

Marking with Hot Stamper

• Install the hot stamp device to the left of the PowerStrip.
The processing levels of both devices must be flush aligned in the X and Y axes. The distance
A between the blades on the PowerStrip and the centre of the hot stamping device should be as
small as possible and must always be less than 1 m. The distance must not change during the
processing operation. If you use an original Schleuniger rack there is no need to bolt the
devices together. We do however recommend that both devices are securely attached.
• Connect the two devices using the connecting cable.
If you are using a Schleuniger hot stamp device the matching connecting cable is supplied with
the device. If you use a different hot stamp device you will find the information on connecting
the devices under the heading “Hot Stamp Device” on Page 36.

To ensure that the stamping is carried out at the right location you must enter the distance A
(figure 74) between the two devices, on the PowerStrip. Carry out the programming procedure
as follows:

Program step Key sequence

Activate the hot stamp device on the PowerStrip. Main menu 4 3 enter @
enter f3
Load a 3 mm diameter wire in the PowerStrip and carry load/unload f3 or
out one hot stamp cycle.
feed cut f3 (stamping)
Remove the wire from the PowerStrip and measure the feed cut or
distance between the middle of the stamping and the right
open/close
wire end. Enter this distance in the “Distance” field.

In this screen we will also program the pulse time. During the pulse time the output on the hot
stamp device connection is activated. The stamping time is set on the hot stamp device. The
PowerStrip is stopped during the stamping time via the input of this connection.

Enter the pulse time (e.g. 200 ms) and return to the main enter 200 enter f1 f1
menu.

The PowerStrip is now ready for the hot stamp process. The procedure for specifying the
stamping positions is explained with the help of the programming example below.
150 Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500

Programming example Hot Stamper (Menu Standard Wires)

In the example below we will mark a wire at both ends. You can see the marking positions in
figure 75. You have already programmed all the other dimensions such as wire length and the
stripping lengths in the “Standard Wires” menu.

Continuous marking
If you enter for example 60 mm under “Continuous” then marking will be carried out every 60
mm. The first marking is carried out 60 mm from the right wire end. If you have entered a
position on the right then the continuous marking will be carried out measured from this position.

Marking-free zone
To prevent continuous marking from extending over the left marking a marking-free zone is
incorporated. The size of the marking-free zone can be adjusted with “distance left” in the
“Marking” screen. The marking process is suppressed within this zone.

a programming example on Page 137.
Schleuniger PowerStrip 9500 151

Marking with Ink Jet Unit

Install the Ink Jet device to the left of the PowerStrip. The processing levels of both devices
must be flush aligned in the X and Y axes. The distance A between the blades on the
PowerStrip and the print head nozzle should be as small as possible and must always be less
than 1 m. The distance must not change during the processing operation. If you use an original
Schleuniger rack there is no need to bolt the devices together. We do however recommend that
both devices are securely attached.
• Connect the PowerStrip and the ink jet unit with the connecting cable supplied.
The "Ink Jet" connection is located on the "INTDO-board". The version of the "INTDO-board" is
different, depending on the manufacturer of the ink jet. You can find the current version in the
upper-most line on screen "Diagnosis", "Interfaces". There are 3 possibilities:

INTDO VD [Link] = Ink jet manufacturer: "Domino" / software version: [Link]

Text
The keys f1 to f5 and f+ are used for keying in the letters as well as commas, # etc. The text
column has space for a total of 30 characters. (The precise procedure for inserting text is
described in the programming example below). The @ key opens a dialog box. This is where
you can call up pre-programmed data and insert it into the text column, for example the date
and time. The explanation of the 6 terms is shown below:

• If you select "1. Time " then 1. appears in the @ text column. The current time, for example
[Link], will be printed at this position on the wire.

• If you select "2. Date", 2. appears in the @ text column. The current date, for example
31.12.1998 or 12.31.1998, will be printed at this position on the wire.

• If you select “3. Total produced”, 3. appears in the @ text column. The total number of wires
produced so far using the current wire program is printed at this position on the wire. “Single
wires” are not counted and instead of a figure, ppppp.... is printed on the wire.

• If you select “4. Batch produced”, 4. appears in the @ text column. The wires are printed with
the batch number of the current wire program. For example if you produce 50 wires in 5
batches then the 10 wires of the first batch are printed with a “1”, the 10 wires of the second
batch with a "2" etc.

• If you select “5. Counter”, 5. appears in the @ text column. This is where you define the
position at which the wire is to be marked with consecutive numbers. (See also the next
section “Start value, Counter”)

• If you select “6. Select bold”, 6. appears in the @ text column. This is where you can select
the “bold on/off” function. This is a practical help if for example you wish to highlight a
number of characters within a text. Here’s an example: you want to print the following
marking: 123HPGK234. The bolt function has been switched “off”. Before the H select @ 6.
(Select bold) and also after the K.

• If you select „7. Wire Name, @7 appears in the text bar. The name of the wire is printed on
the wire in this place.

Start value, counter

If you have inserted the field @5 in the text then you can define the start value of the
consecutive numbering. This value is continually updated during production.

Font size, Small capital, Bold, Underlined

The font size describes the “size of the font in points”. The standard setting is fixed to 7 points.

Marking tips

We recommend that you only start programming the markings once you have cut
and stripped the wire to your requirements.

In order to position a marking in the centre of the wire enter half the wire length (on
standard wires only) at “right” or “left”.

Since short-mode wires are processed in a special way it may happen that the
positions you have entered do not match the markings. The reason for this is that
part of the insulation is moved during the stripping process. In this case you must
alter the positions so that the marking is applied in the required position.

It is not advisable to select continual marking for short-mode wires.
