Page 7: Standard Assembly Numbers / Options
STANDARD ASSEMBLY NUMBERS / OPTIONS MAIN ASSEMBLY 2‐134900‐500 Main Base Assembly (Standard)– on the drawing it lists voltage options, e‐stop option, and barrel adaptor kit. For the sizing below if you do not use a cone to center spool on the shaft, the maximum reel width is 15.5 (394mm). The size of the shaft is 0.625 (16mm) diameter. PULLEYS 2‐134900‐510 Aluminum large wire 3 pulley option. Maximum wire diameter is 0.50 inches (12.7mm). 2‐134900‐520 Plastic 3 pulley option (Standard). Maximum wire diameter is 0.38 inches (9.6mm). 2‐134900‐530 Aluminum large wire 7 pulley option, for long wires. Maximum wire diameter is 0.50 inches (12.7mm). 7 pulleys gives you added wire accumulation. This is useful when you are processing wires greater than 10 feed (3meters) in length. 2‐134900‐540 Plastic 9 pulley option, for long wires. Maximum wire diameter is 0.38 inches (9.6mm). 9 pulleys gives you added wire accumulation. This is useful when you are processing wires greater than 10 feed (3meters) in length. ROLLERS 2‐134900‐550 Reel support rollers. This options will allow you set the spool into the pre‐feeder, rather than putting a shaft through the core of the spool and hanging the spool in the pre‐feeder. This option requires the spool flanges to be round and undamaged. POWER / CONTROL OPTIONS 2‐134900‐560 110 VAC power 2‐134900‐570 220 VAC power 2‐134900‐610 110 VAC power with over travel shut down and machine feedback. This option will automatically shut down the pre‐feeder when the arm is pulled all the way forward. This can happen when the wire is tangled and cannot be pulled off the spool. A connector is provided that will provide a dry contact that opens when the pre‐feeder is shut down. This connector can be wired to e‐stop the wire cutting machine. 2‐134900‐600 220 VAC power with over travel shut down and machine feedback.

Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION Place the Artos PF-6 on a flat level surface adjacent to the infeed side of the cutting machine. It should sit so the top of the storage pulleys are the same height as the infeed point of the cutting machine. -
Page 10: Operational Push Button Controls
POWER ON/OFF: Applies or disconnects power to the machine START: Applies power to the motor speed control. (Button lights when “on”) EMERGENCY STOP: Stops all power to the motor when depressed. SPEED: Sets the base (maximum) speed the PF-6 can achieve at full arm travel. -
Page 11: Loading
LOADING To load the Artos PF-6 you should first move the storage arm to the full travel position and move the latch to the locked position. This must be done with the motor on. Once latched, stop the motor. CAUTION: Never attempt to move the storage arm with the motor off. Damage to the variable speed pulley will occur. - Page 12 Wire direction diagram for standard or wire reel PF-6 1. Feed the wire through (50) wire guide. 2. Thread wire over (29) idler pulley. 3. Thread wire under and over (15) feed pulley. 4. Thread wire under and over 1 pulley on (87) load arm control.

Page 13: Adjustment
Wire direction diagram for PF-6 with loose bundle kit ADJUSTMENT The only adjustment for the operation of the Artos PF-6 is the speed setting. The speed should be set at a rate that allows the storage arm to oscillate about half way up in its travel range. For the best results the motor should not stop during normal cycling and the storage arm should not use its maximum travel.
