Page 75: Lifting The Shaft From Its Bearings
Material winding systems Opertation of MRA2, MAbG, MAbG-C and MAbHD Normally the support cone at the drive side has to be adjusted only once, so that the unwind material covers the vacuum holes of the zone 1 (see illustration). When changing the material roll, only the right support cone (storage side) must be adjusted to the new material roll width.
Page 76: Loading Material Roll
Material winding systems • loosen the right support cone (bearing side) using a 4 mm hex key and pull it from the shaft. Loading material roll Light to medium weight rolls • feed the wind / unwind shaft through the material roll. Load the roll so that the material unwinds towards the cutter table.
Page 77 Material winding systems Heavy weight rolls CAUTION: To load very heavy material rolls it is advisable to use a lift or hoist! Use caution when placing the roll in the brackets - danger of bruising! • place the material roll in a sling or belts and feed the roll feed shaft through the roll core.
Page 78 Material winding systems • with light weight rolls - locate the shaft first in the right side bearing bracket and than, on the left side, insert the drive flat vertical in the drive slot. medium weight rolls should be handled by two persons each holding one end of the shaft and carefully lowering it into its bracket.

Page 84: Vacuum Systems
Vacuum systems 2. Vacuum systems Material down holding on the ARISTOMAT is via vacuum. There are small holes in the table top that connect via air channels to the vacuum pump(s). The table top is divided into individual areas (vacuum zones). In accor- dance with the actual application and the material advance system the zones can selectively be activated using the valve slides.
Page 85: Strip Vacuum Zones
Vacuum systems Strip vacuum zones The strip vacuum zone layout divides the table top, dependent on the machine model, into 5 resp. 6 evenly wide longitudinal zones. The ARIS- TOMAT 1625 SL features 2 x 6 evenly wide longitudinal zones. To the orientation there are markers and numbers on the traversing bridge.

Page 92: Matrix Vacuum Zones
Vacuum systems Matrix vacuum zones The division of the vacuum table tops into matrix zones adds, in combi- nation with the strip zones, control to optimally utilize the vacuum i.e. for sheet processing where only a small portion of the vacuum area is required.
Page 93 Vacuum systems Example: • open strip zones 1, 2, and 3. On machines with two slides (front and rear) both slides must be open alike. • open matrix zones (the figure below shows 3) using slides 2. The vacuum is only active in the area represented here graily now. The following layouts show the division and numbers of matrix zones for each machine model.

Material advance systems Clamping bar (for conveyor machines only) Note: The clamping bar is only applicable with materials, which could not or shall not suck in. For the material advance of this materials there is a clamping bar mounted to the bridge. During the advance cycle the bar lowers and squeezes the material lightly against the conveyor belt.
Page 101 Material advance systems Boardlifter (for conveyor machines only) This device is suitable for the automatic loading of the machine with stiff sheeted materials up to 10 mm thickness (~3/8 in). Sheet width and length depend on the machine model: ARISTOMAT SL 13xx: (W x L) max. 1200 mm x 1200 mm (47 1/4 in.
Page 102 Material advance systems The board lifter operates with a vacuum system. The material pick up is by suction panel. For the optimal vacuum utilization in reference to the material width, the suction panel is divided into 6 evenly wide vacuum zones. Opening and closing the vacuum zones is with the vacuum slide.

Page 114: Introduction
Introduction 1. Introduction The ARISTOMATs are equipped with Standard light barriers or optionally with Safety light barriers (Category 2, EN 954-1) on both sides of the traversing bridge, for optical monitoring and recognition of obstacles (persons or objects) within the working area. If the light beam is interrupted by an obstacle, an EMERGENCY STOP is activated.

During operation 3. During operation If the light beam is interrupted by an obstacle or the Collision Shut-off is pushed, an EMERGENCY STOP is activated. The drives of the ARISTOMAT are switched off immediately, the display shows the error message: EMERGENCY-STOP FAULT X-AXIS / AIR PRESSURE CAUTION: Before switching ON the drives again, first eliminate...
Page 117: Check Functions
Check Function 4. Check Functions The correct function of the light barriers and the Collision Shut-off must be checked before each operation. Light barrier • For safety reasons, the drives must be switched OFF before loading material! • Place your material on the table. •...
Page 118: Collision Shut-Off
Check Function Collision Shut-off The Collision Shut-off is mechanically connected to the light barriers. On contact with an obstacle, the crash pad (1) slides in front of the light beam (2). The light beam is interrupted and activate an EMERGENCY STOP.
Page 119: Adjustment Of The Light Beam
Adjustment of the light beam 5. Adjustment of the light beam LED's are placed on top of the transmitters and receivers. If the light barriers are adjusted correctly, the LED's are ON. The red transmitter beam must hit the receiver. With optimum light reception, signal indicator is ON (see figure).
Page 120 Adjustment of the light beam The light barrier was adjusted correctly: Standard light barrier: The red LED on the receiver is ON and the drives can be switched ON. Safety light barrier: The green LEDs on the receiver and the transmitter are ON and the drives can be switched ON.
Page 121: Maintenance
Maintenance 6. Maintenance The light barrier and the Collision Shut-off do not require any maintenance. Possible wear is recognisable by a regular check of the safety device. Standard light barrier Before every operation: • check functions (see 4. Check functions) •...
