Page 8: About This Manual
About this Manual REV. 1 General This manual is intended as a training and reference document for persons responsible for installation, service and maintenance of the STL-1000 binder. It is assumed the reader has basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting abilities. This Service Manual, revision ( A ), covers 220 Volt, 3 Phase, 60 Hz STL-1000, version _1 system. -
Page 9: Specifications
Specifications Use this section to determine proper installation requirements as well as the capabilities of the STL-1000. Purpose The STL-1000 is designed t o automatically supply spool fed Twin Loop elements cut to a specified length and is automatically staged for the next book to be bound. Operator hung pre-punched documents are transported to the closing area, bound and are transported from the bind area to a stacking conveyor. - Page 10 Compressed Air 8 cfm at 80 psi ( 227L/min @ 522K Pa ) Environment Ambient air temperatures, 41 degrees F to 104 degrees F. ( 5 degrees C to 40 degrees C.) Altitude rating, up to 3280 feet ( 1000 meters ). Noise Generation Initial Year of Manufacturing: 1999...
- Page 11 The STL-1000 can successfully bind documents within the capacity of each given Twin Loop element size. Use the element size chart supplied by your Twin Loop sales representative to determine the appropriate element for the book to be bound. If book size is at the maximum for a given size use the next larger size to insure quality closure of the bound book.

Once the entered number is reached Y6 (feed 1M) is turned off. Y4 energized Sol-4 (cut) which charges the air cylinder to swing the knife and drop the pawl into the element stop gear to stop rotation of the element feed shaft. At this point the feed shaft should be stopped so the knife can cut a stationary element. - Page 14 When dereel switch is on auto, spool prox X3 illuminates when no element is present Y7 illuminates to fire 2CR which turns on 2M (dereel). When dereel switch is on manually pressing the green button will illuminate X15 then Y7 on the P.L.C. to turn on 2CR (dereel) which turns on 2M.

6. Spool and Supply Chute Loading the Spool When viewing from the back of the machine, the spool of Twin Loop wire will rotate in a clockwise direction (See figure 6-1). For loading a new spool, the following steps are recommended: 1. - Page 20 SPOOL AND SUPPLY CHUTE LOADING THE SPOOL (CONTINUED) 4. Lay the wire inside the storage chute and thread the scrap paper between both drive rollers and wind it up on the scrap take-up spool in a counter-clockwise direction (See Figure 6-3). Notes: 1.

7. Spool and Supply Chute Adjusting the Supply Chute The supply chute is designed to be used in three different positions (see figure 7-1). The upper position is for larger size wire -1” and 1 ¼”. The middle position is for medium sizes 9/16” through 7/8’. The lower position is for the small size wire - ¼”... -
Page 22: Feed And Cut Feed Wheel Guide Adjustment
8. Feed and Cut Feed Wheel Guide Adjustment The outboard guide on the feed wheel (see Figure 8-1) should be adjusted so that there is approximately 1/16” (.06) clearance for the wire. Make sure the outboard guide does not rub against the feed wheel. -
Page 23: Feed And Cut Height And Width Adjustment Of Guides
9. Feed and Cut Height and Width Adjustment of Guides The upper and side guides should be adjusted so that the Twin Loop wire will travel back and forth freely (see Figure 9-1) but without too much room to move around. The following steps are recommended: 1. -
Page 24: Loading Area
FEED AND CUT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING BLOCK Using a 5/32 hex key, loosen the two (2) screws which secure the cutting block (see Figure 9-1). Adjust the height of the cutting block to allow the Twin Loop wire to pass freely under it. Tighten the screws to secure the cutting block. -

12. Closing Area Adjusting the closing rail (For the following see figure 12-1). 1. Open closing guard and prop open with prop rod. 2. Loosen the adjusting screws, which secure the closing rail located in front of the closing area And slide toward the front of the machine. - Page 27 3. Close the closing guard. 4. Twist the red emergency stop button located on the front of the machine to supply power to the machine. 5. Using the hand wheel on the upper right hand side of the closing head, turn hand wheel until the indicator points the proper wire size to be closed.

Page 28: Closing Height Adjustment
13. CLOSING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT To adjust height of the closing ram, the following steps are recommended: 1. The pointer for the Twin Loop Size Gauge (see Figure 13-1) will move up or down. A hand wheel is provided on the right side of the closing area. This hand wheel is to be used to adjust the height. -
Page 29: Loading The Book
2. The size gauge is used to accurately adjust the closing height. After closing a sample book, you may need to make further fine adjustments to get the proper closing of the wire. See figure 13-2 for proper closing of Twin Loop elements. 3. - Page 30 FIGURE 14-1 Pick up the two covers and the body of the book; jog it on the side with the binding edge down. The back page (not the back cover) should face the operator (see figure 14-2). Align the holes with the Twin Loop tines and lay the book toward you (see figure 14-3) and press the foot pedal to cycle the STL1000.
