Page 5: Set-Up
Pausing Batching—A program which will pause the Wire Prepper® for up to 9 seconds between batches of wire. (i.e. The machine can be set to measure and cut 4,000 wires, and be programmed to pause for 5 seconds after every 50 wires. This permits small bundles for easier handling). Set‐up The Wire Prepper® System II has been set‐up at the factory to cut plastic tubing, heat shrink, and stranded‐copper wire. To cut larger materials, position the slotted guides in place of the feed tubes. This is easily done by removing 2 screws (use ” hex wrench) holding each guide support block and rotating the block 180°. Slotted Guides When cutting round tubing, a slight flattening of the tubing may occur. To minimize this, a release lever screw is provided to limit the closing of the drive wheels. Turn clockwise to lessen the pressure and test for proper feed. The Wire Prepper® System II can also cut SJO cord and multi‐conductor round cable up to ” dia. For this set‐up install optional 0.338 I.D. feed tubes set (LB1448) and 0.375 dia. fixed blade (LB1481). See blade replacement Pg. 8. Putting the Machine to Work ‐ Plug the cord into ON‐OFF switch power module. ... -

NOTE: Remove screws from blade block (use ” hex wrench) and rotate the block a few degrees to access lower left blade screw. 6. Remove the fixed Blade. NOTE: This blade can be rotated 180° to use other cutting edge. Encoder Disassembly 1. Remove the top plate assembly and place it upside down on the work bench. 2. Use a flat blade screwdriver to turn the lock to the position with one dot. This will expose a hole in the side where a hex wrench can be inserted. ... - Page 12 Hole 3. Insert a 0.034” hex wrench into the body of the encoder insuring that it is properly seated into the code wheel hub set screw. You will have to turn encoder roller to find this position. 4. Loosen the set screw by turning counter clockwise. 5. Remove the encoder form the encoder base by inserting a small blade screwdriver at the snap locations and twisting slightly. ...

Page 14: Encoder Assembly
Encoder Assembly 1. Snap the encoder body onto the top plate locking all 4 snaps. 2. With the 0.034” hex wrench properly seated into the code wheel hub set screw apply a downward force on the end of the hex wrench. This sets the code wheel gap by leveling the code wheel hub to its upper position. 3. While continuing to apply a downward force, rotate the hex wrench in the clockwise direction until the hub set screw is tight against the wheel shaft. 4. Remove the hex wrench by pulling it straight out of the encoder body. 5. Use the center screwdriver slot, or either of the two side slots, to rotate the encoder cap dot clockwise form the one dot position to the two dot position. ... -

Page 17: Trouble Shooting
NOTE Fixture pin is necessary to assure alignment 7. Reassemble drive wheels and springs. Trouble Shooting “Wire Alarm” Sounds Check for wire jams at machine or de‐reeler. Check wire straightener adjustment (wire straightener is an optional accessory). Pressure on wire may be too high. Check encoder wheel from free rotation. Push spring loaded wheel away from encoder wheel, then spin encoder wheel. It is mounted on ball bearings and should rotate freely. If restriction is felt, see Encoder Assembly/Disassembly procedure. Make sure that the first wire feed tube is not rubbing against the encoder wheels. Wire Length Not Accurate Check wire length calibration. The number in the lower right corner of the calibration viewing screen should be close to 0.025. If necessary, press 3 to reset wire calibration (should reset to 0.025). Check de‐reeler for smooth operation. An easy check is to hand feed the wire to the machine so that there is no restriction. If the cut wires become accurate, then the problem is in the de‐reeling. Check encoder rollers for free movement, or foreign matter. Check encoder code wheel for foreign material in windows. To do this, it is necessary to disassemble the encoder from the top plate. Refer to “Encoder Disassembly” in this manual. -
