Omnia 80 Omnia 100 Figure 6-3 Note: Switching on the pump does not directly produce suction on the surface as this is controlled via software.
OMNIA MATERIAL PICK-UP ROLLER The presser located on the top of the loader allows slightly deformed materials to be crushed so as not to cause false readings to the “sheet ready” photocell. Based on the thickness and stiffness of the materials, it can be adjusted in order to have a fair compromise between the pressure on the material and the intervention height.
OMNIA The light tower is equipped with a telescopic arm that allows it to be lengthened: To change the height of the turret, loosen the ring nut while holding the upper part of the turret. Pull the upper part up to the desired height, then re-lock by tightening the ring nut.
OMNIA 6.7.1 POSITIONING THE MATERIAL ON THE LOADER TABLE Two loading/processing modes are available; the first foresee to have all materials stacked on top of each other, the second to have the same material/job loaded on two stacks side by side.
