Page 3: Introduction
Introduction 1.1. General The Axro binder is used to bind products such as bunches of flowers with elastic cord. The standard machines are assembled and adjusted for the use of elastic cord with 1 rubber core. This elastic cord is about 1 mm thick. On the customer's request, binders can also be assembled and adjusted for use with 3K elastic cord. -
Page 4: Versions
1.2. Versions The standard EMT-Axro binder is available in a number of versions. The following tables give a description of a number of specific versions: Article No. Article name Description 87101400 Axro-RLC Standard machine, driven by a 1-phase hollow-shaft through motor with brake. - Page 5 Article No. Article name Description 87101500 Axro-FQC Standard machine, driven by a 3-phase, 230 V, through hollow-shaft motor with brake. Equipped with a 87101591 frequency controller for a faster binding cycle. This binder is particularly suitable for installation on/in a (flower) line. The start switch is suspended from the needle shaft The top plate can be lifted off the machine: a safety cut-out then switches off the machine.

Safety precautions 2.1. Explanation of the pictograms This pictogram is used for an urgent warning This pictogram is used for a serious warning This pictogram is used for an electrical hazard 2.2. General warnings The machine may be used only by operators who know, understand and obey all safety precautions. -
Page 7: Using The Machine
2.3. Using the machine Persons who are not aware of the following safety precautions may NOT operate the machine. The machine may never be switched on when it is open (with the top plate removed). If anything unexpectedly goes wrong, always remove the plug from the socket immediately, or switch the mains switch to ‘0’! In the event of a malfunction, never touch the moving parts. -
Page 8: Noise Level
Once the maintenance work has been completed always replace any guards removed during the work. Never bridge the safety cut-out! Note: the cutting blade is sharp. Never adjust the safety clutch such that it is too tight, or even locked. The indicative force for the operation of the clutch is 3 kg imposed on the needle's point. -
Page 9: Transport, Installation, Dismantling
Transport, installation, dismantling 3.1. Transport The machine weighs about 50 kg. A transport frame is available for the binder. The frame is fitted with castors, and is intended for use in moving the machine short distances. Once the binder has been moved always relock the castor brakes. 3.2. -

Page 17: Using The Machine
5.5. Using the machine Note: on contacting the start switch the machine will begin operation. The needle will then descend rapidly. Do not place any part of your body (hands, fingers, etc.) under the needle. The needle can injure your hand. Warn other people of this hazard. Make sure that no-one places their hand on the start switch. -
Page 18: Starting Points And Switching Options
5.6. Starting points and switching options The time at which the machine is started depends on the selected switching operation. Three switching options are available: 5.6.1. Pre-switching The machine is started as soon as the switching pin is operated, and the product is bound. This switching option is generally used when small products are to be bound rapidly after each other. -
Page 19: Cleaning And Simple Maintenance
Cleaning and simple maintenance Before cleaning or maintenance, always switch off the machine by removing the plug from the socket! Regular cleaning is extremely important if the machine is to be kept in good condition. Good cleaning is important to prevent the build-up of dirt and growth of mould! Cleaning can be carried out using a brush or a damp cloth. -
Page 20: Weekly Maintenance
6.2. Weekly maintenance The weekly maintenance may be carried out only by operators who understand and obey the following instructions: Switch off the power supply to the machine and remove the plug from the socket. Remove the top plate. Clean the machine with a brush or compressed air Oil the pivoting points and the rollers of the catcher and releaser... -
Page 21: Maintenance
Maintenance The manufacturer's warranty never covers damage caused by inexpert use, use of the machine for purposes other than which it is intended, or modifications made by the user or third parties. 7.1. Safety warnings The following maintenance work may be carried out only by qualified personnel who have read and understood the maintenance instructions. -
Page 22: Basic Settings
7.3. Basic settings Figure 11: Basic settings 7.3.1. Alignment at the reference point The binder must be aligned correctly at the reference point if a suitable knot is to be tied. The binder is adjusted to the correct setting in the factory. However, after maintenance it may be necessary to realign the binder at the reference point. -
Page 23: Checking The Position Of The Needle
Insert an object of a diameter of 6 mm (for example, a screwdriver) in the opening in the rotor shaft (F). Loosen the clamping bush (G) with a 22-mm spanner. Turn the shaft until the reference mark on the rotor (C) is aligned to the reference mark on the stator (D). -
Page 24: Clamping Pressure Between The Rotor And Stator
7.3.4. Clamping pressure between the rotor and stator The clamping pressure between the rotor and stator depends on the binding material that is used. The following check needs to be carried out to ensure that optimum clamping is achieved: Fit a reel of binding material, and thread it through the machine in the customary manner. Allow the machine to complete a number of strokes. -
