9. Theory of Operation
The registration operation of the M95 Auto-Cutter is very similar to the
operation of the M44/M24/M334 decorated material feeds. The sensors are
functionally identical to those used on the feeds, material control uses nip
rolls like the feeds, and many of the programing options are identical to the
feeds.
9.1. Sensors
The Auto-Cutter uses 4 registration sensors total, two on the input side
(before the shear blade) and two on the output side. The two sensors on the
input side are used to register the material for any lead edge scrap cut which
might be required on the sheet. The two output side sensors are used to
register the material for stripping cuts and trailing edge scrap cuts. The
sensors are always used in pairs, two sensors being required to register the
sheet in the feed axis and in rotation.
9.2. Drive Assemblies
There are two nip roller drive assemblies on the Auto-Cutter, a near-side
(operator side) drive and a far-side (non-operator side) drive. While the
position of both assemblies is adjustable, the near side drive normally remains
in a fixed position while the far-side drive is shifted to match the width of the
sheets being processed.
NOTE: Sheet width in a stack needs to be fairly regular, 1/8 inch total
variation is tolerable.
Each drive assembly straddles the blade and contains two nip rolls, an
input side nip and an output side nip. Each nip is actuated (closed) with a
pneumatic cylinder so that the input and output sides may be selectively
engaged and released. There is a single motor/encoder combination for each
drive assembly which is coupled to the two drive wheels with timing belts.
95-0000US July 1999 9-1
Spartanics Model 95 Theory of Operation
Note that unlike the M44/M224/M334 feeds, the encoder does not
measure material motion with an idler wheel but rather is connected directly
to the motor shaft. The Auto-Cutter can not detect material slippage or
sticking and does not know if there is any material in the nips. The only drive
fault that can be detected is one that actually stalls the motor. This detail will
tend to make the Auto-Cutter less accurate than the feed systems. In the best
case, where there is no material slippage, the accuracy will equal that of the
feed systems.
9.3. Programming Options
Operator programming options are very similar to existing feed systems.
The Auto-Cutter requires that a number of parameters be set in order to
run a job. The parameters are accessed in lists with a unique key being used to
select the particular list.
Refer to the Programming Guide Chapter for detailed explanation of
each function.

10.1.Scrap-Mark List
The Scrap-Mark is an optional mark used to locate some featureon the sheet for the purpose of making an initial or lead edgescrap cut on the sheet. Both of the input side sensors are usedwhen reading the Scrap-Mark. With the exception of sensorGAIN, all parameters apply to both the Near Side and Far Sidesensors. The items in the Scrap-Mark list are as follows ...
10.1.1.
Position:
The nominal distance from the lead edge of the sheet to theScrap-Marks.

12.3.1. Control Panel.
This label denotes “POWER ON” for the M95 system.
This label denotes “POWER OFF” for the M95 system.
Turning power off using this button DOES NOT remove power completely
from the system. This must be done via the rotating ON/OFF knob on the
95-3050 electrical control cabinet.
This label denotes “pause”. It is associated with a blue momentary
push-button / indicator.
It’s function is twofold:
1. If the system is running normally and the button is pressed, the system
will complete any small intermediate processes and then go into a paused
state. At this time the blue indicator will flash. Pressing the button again
will take the machine out of pause and continue to run normally, and the
indicator will stop flashing. Or, if in a paused state with the indicator
flashing, pressing the “advance” button on the keypad will force the
machine to advance to the next step in the process, then return to its paused
state.
2. If the system is running normally and an error occurs, such as a loss of
vacuum at the pickup head or the sensors can’t find a mark, the system goes
into a paused mode and the indicator stays on steadily. The corrective action
depends on the error, but pressing the button at this point will generally
clear the error and force the machine to retry the process that forced the
error.

causes the table to go down, while turning the switch to the right causes the
table to go up. All switch positions are “locking” (as opposed to
momentary).
