Chapter 1: Safety How to Use This Manual Use this manual as a guide and reference for installing, operating, and maintaining your machine. The purpose is to assist you in applying efficient, proven techniques that enhance equipment productivity. This manual covers only light corrective maintenance. No other maintenance should be undertaken without first contacting a service engineer.
General Safety Regulations These regulations should be read, understood and periodically reviewed by all personnel involved in any way with this machine. Never operate or remove any machine components that are secured by mechanical fasteners unless the motor is electrically locked out and all moving parts are motionless. Do not circumvent the safety interlocks.

ROTATION OF MOTORS: The correct rotating direction for the machine motor is clearly marked on the machine. Always check for proper rotation of motors. Incorrect rotation direction can cause severe damage. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: All electrical equipment on the machine must be grounded in accordance to all local codes and Article 250 of the National Electric Code.
5”, and 2) only the fixed roll has stripper assemblies. NOTE: This manual covers light maintenance only. No further maintenance should be performed without first contacting the ACS Service Department at the mailing address and phone number shown in this manual.
When calling the factory for service information and parts, please have the model and serial number of your machine on hand. If the feed roll has been purchased independently from the accompanying equipment, the serial number and nameplate will be located at the feed roll control box.

1. Translating Roll 2. Fixed Roll 3. Maintenance Windows (covered by Cover Plates) The feed rolls are constructed from carbon steel DOM (Drawn over Mandrel) tubing with a medium knurled surface. This design provides a strong roll with good balance. Integral to each roll head is a replaceable end ring that is designed to be slightly larger than the knurled diameter of the roll so that, at the minimum gap, the knurled surfaces do not touch.

1. Delrin Stripper 2. Adjustable Stripper Assembly The strippers are used to ensure separation of sheet and roll at the exit side of the feed roll. Each roll has a set of adjustable stripper bars made from Delrin and mounted on a carbon steel mounting plate.
The basic controls for the feed nip are an open/close valve and a filter/lubricator/regulator set mounted on the unit. See the Chapter 4: Operation for a discussion on air pressure settings. The drive system uses a number 60 duplex chain synchronously by a sprocket on a flange mounted gearbox.
Noise Considerations Maximum continuous Noise Levels for the Feed Roll (5” x 56”), was recorded as follows: - Sound Pressure (A LEQ) = 63.5 db(A), C Peak (C Pk) = 73.9 db(C). Subsequently, there is no requirement to wear hearing protection in the vicinity of the of feed roll machines. Versatile Feed Roll 5”...
Inspect for damage during transit and notify the carrier immediately of any damage. • Check the packing list and notify ACS if there are any shortages. The machine weights for the Versatile Feed rolls are as follows: • FRV1-36: 975 lbs (442.3 kg) •...
Lifting Features To facilitate lifting of the feed roll, each model has tapped holes for eyebolt lugs. These holes are M12 x 1.75, and are located in the corners of the top plate, indicated by the circles and arrows below. BEFORE LIFTING IS ATTEMPTED, ensure that all other bolts and features are properly tightened and mated.

Refer to the wiring diagram in the customer information packet included with the feed roll and accompanying equipment. This diagram is part of the documentation shipped with the machine. Only the panel diagram will be appended in this manual. After power is connected, do not make any adjustments to the machine without performing the following operations: TURN POWER OFF and LOCK IT OUT per OSHA 1910.147 OR ANSI Z244.1-1982 (Lockout/Tag- out of Energy Sources).
Accessing the Rollers ROLLER ACCESS • If machine is running, press Stop button and wait for rollers to stop rotating. • Unscrew the six bolts that secure the cover plate. • Removal of the cover plate allows access to the translating roll as well as the stripper assembly.
Priming/Adjusting the Stripper Bars • DO NOT ADJUST STRIPPER BLADES IF THE FEED ROLL IS IN MOTION. ONLY ADJUST WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN THE OFF POSITION. The rolls should always be fully closed while adjustment is done. • To ensure maximum stripper capability, a malleable Delrin material is used. 1.
Initial Start-up CHECK FOR MECHANICAL INTERFERENCES • TURN POWER OFF and LOCK IT OUT per OSHA 1910.147 OR ANSI Z244.1-1982 (Lockout/Tag-out of Energy Sources). CHECK ROTATION OF MOTORS • With the cover plates in place and the drive set to FORWARD, jog the drive motor by pushing start and observing the rollers.
Chapter 4: Operation Start-up PULSE-STARTING THE MOTOR • If the motor is turning in the proper direction, pulse-start the motor, regardless of desired speed. • Pulse-start the motor by providing full current (60Hz) to the motor through the VFD. Allow the motor to run and full speed before adjusting the VFD for the desired feed rate.
The rate the air cylinders open and close can be adjusted by the two (2) flow control valves attached to the cylinders. Control the speed the cylinder moves by adjusting the flow control valve on the exhausting side of the cylinder. To control the speed of the nip closing, adjust the control on the rod end (exhausting end) of the cylinder.
Shut-down • To shut down, stop feeding the material into the feed roll, and allow the machine to run long enough to clear all material from the discharge chute and roller chamber. • Engage the stop on the electrical cabinet. This shuts off the drive motor. •...
Chapter 5: Maintenance General Maintenance Notes Before ANY maintenance is attempted, ensure the following has been done: • TURN OFF AND LOCKOUT the power per OSHA 1910.147 OR ANSI Z244.1-1982 (Lockout/Tag out of Energy Sources). • If it is not possible to lock out the power, have an electrician remove the fuses. •...
Replacing Stripper Bar • Because of the wear nature of the Delrin stripper bars, they will need to be replaced periodically. In order to do that, the feed roll must be accessed from the exit plate. 1. Remove the four (4) M10 bolts from the Delrin bar. 2.

3. Remover feed nip top cover plate (This may require removal of the inlet chute). 4. Loosen the chain tensioner to slacken the chain and remove the roll's chain sprocket. Moveable Roll Sprocket Fixed Roll Sprocket Chain Tensioner Drive Put a wood board or stack of cardboard between the rolls and install a strap around both rolls to support them while the end plate is removed.
8. Support the roll that will remain in the nip with blocking under it and reposition the strap around the roll to be removed. 9. Slide the roll horizontally out of the nip until it clears the back wall and then lift it clear of the nip.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Introduction The utmost in safety precautions should be observed at all times when working on or around the machine and the electrical components. All normal trouble-shooting must be accomplished with the power off, circuit breakers turned off, and with the machine tagged as out of service.
