5.7 Power Hook-Up (208/230V 50/60Hz)

For satisfact ory oper ation, be sure that your cutt er is wired for the correct phase and v ol tage and has adequate power. The c orrect elect rical specifi cations for your machine are shown on the seri al plate. Check the machine serial plate before connecting the power. For future reference, transfer this information to the front cover of this manual.

Watch Setup Voltage- Inadequate power to the cutter can be a major source of problems. Too many machines on the same circuit will reduce the power to each machi ne. Inadequate v oltage wil l frequently cause overheating, loss of power, and in extreme cases, failure to operate. Test your voltage when the shop is at actual working level s. Challenge recommends a dedi cated line wit h a lockable di sconnect to provide adequate power f or this machine.

CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD! Always disconnect power at main

power panel befo re working on the cutter. Lock it out to prevent accidental power up. (S ee Power Loc kout Procedure page 5).

Important: You must have an adequ at e si ze ci rc uit and heavy enough wir ing for this mac hine. T he circuit size should be a minimum of 20% greater than the amperage rating on the machine nameplate. If a wire is run over 75 feet ( 23 meters), the next siz e wire should be used. Check local electric al c odes.

6.3 Making a Cut

Place the paper agai nst the backgauge and left side guide. Note: if the c ut will leave strips of paper less than 2-1/8” wide, place the paper against the right side gui de. This will prevent the strips fr om getting caught in the small opening near the left side guide.

First, start the hydr aulic motor by simultaneously pr essing bot h cut buttons (located under the t able at the front of the machine) . Then, with the electric eyes unobstruc ted, make a cut by simultaneously pressing both buttons and holding them in until the knife reaches the table. If at any time during the cut cycle one or both cut but tons are released, or if the elect ri c ey es are obstructed, the knife and clamp will immediately be sent to the up position. Once the cut cy cl e is complete, the hydraulic motor will continue t o r un until the time out period expires, or it c an be shut off by pr essing soft-key “B” (Motor Off) or by pressing and hol ding the right cut button for three seconds.

6.4 Air Table Option

Machines equipped wit h an air table option can have the air table feature turned on or off by pressing soft-key “D” (Air) or by pressing and holding the left c ut button for three seconds.

6.5 Jogging Aid

Always remove the joggi ng aid from the table before making a cut.

A jogging aid is included as standard equipment with t he Titan 265. This tool allows the operator to load and align paper without the need to place hands or arms under the knif e or clam p.

To use, load the paper agai nst the side and backgauge using the joggi ng aid (Figure 18 & Figure 19). Remove the jogging aid from the table and make the cut.

To use this feature, press down on the foot switch loc ated at the front of t he m achine until the clamp comes down on the paper. To raise the clamp, rel ease the foot switch. To make a cut, keep the foot switch pressed and press the c ut buttons. Release the foot switch once the cut has been complet ed. Avoi d placi ng hands under t he clamp.

6.0 Operation

6.8 Knife Change Alarm and Lubrication Alarm

The Titan 265 XG has two built in alarms that will be displayed after a certain number of cuts. The knife alarm di spl ay s a message to remind the operator to change the knif e. The lube al arm displays a message to remind the operator to have the machine lubricated. The lube alarm will also display the name and phone number of the Chall enge dealer from which the machine was purchased. To reset either alarm, or to change the knife alarm val ue, see the “Operating Controls/Maintenance Mode/Paramet er s/ K nife Count” section on page 31 . The lube alarm value is fact or y set at 2,500 cuts and cannot be changed.

NOTE: The alarms do not prevent norm al oper ation; they are simply remi nder s.

6.9 Electric Eyes

The electric ey es prevent reaching into the cutti ng ar ea while a c ut is being m ade. If the beams are broken while a cut i s bei ng made, the knife and clamp will return to the up posi tion.

6.10 False Clamp Plate

The false clamp plate is an optional attachment, whic h reduces the cr easi ng of paper caused by the clamp. The disadv antage of using the false clamp plate is that it limi ts the smallest cut dimension. The machine has a built-i n sensor that detects when the fal se clamp plate is installed, and the computer will automatically restrict the backgauge position accordingly.

pressure, fi r st enter the desired send value (descri bed abov e) , then press the right arrow key and enter the rot ation mark if necessary (described above), then press the right arrow key agai n to mov e the cursor to where the clamp pressure can be entered. Use Soft Keys “C” and “ D” t o inc r ease or decrease the clamp pr essure, or use the numeric keypad to enter a num ber fr om 0 to 15 (see Adjusting the Clamp Pressure section, page 24 for inf ormation about the clamp pressure setti ng) . This will com plete the entry for the current line and move the cursor t o the send v alue of the next line.

NOTE: All new entry lines will have the same clamp pressure as the one above it, until it is changed.

6.17.4.5 Cut and Record To use this featur e when creat ing a new job, simply send the backgauge to a desi r ed posi tion using

the backgauge glide control or by using SEND, then make a cut. The current bac k gauge posi tion will automatically be displayed in the next avail able c ut location and the operator will be prom pted to press ENTER to record t he c urrent v alue. If ENTER is not pressed, the value will not be recorded into the job as a send value. Thi s can be ver y conv enient for setting up a program when the actual cut positions are not k nown.

6.17.4.6 Sheet Division Feature The Titan 265 XG has a sheet divi si on feature that automatically creat es a complete set of send

values using the parent and finished sheet sizes specified by the user. Since this feature creates an entire set of send values, it is best to use it only when creati ng a new job. However , this feature can also be used when editing or usi ng an exi sting job. It will simply insert the new set of send v alues after the current send value.

Begin by pressing sof t-key “A” (Division). The display will be similar to the following:

------------------------------ C) Up D) Down

To make changes, edit the job as described in the “Editing a Job” section below.

6.17.4.8 When Finished When finished enter ing send values you may exit the current j ob by pressing sof t-key “B” (Job) to go

back to the job mode screen or sof t-key “D” (Exit) to exit to send mode. Or you may use the curr ent job for cutti ng by pressing the down arrow at the last line and following the instructi ons i n the “Running a Job” section (page 38).

6.17.5 Editing an Existing Job

6.17.5.1 Editing the Job Name The job name can be edited (or added if an existing job does not have a name) in the job mode

screen. To edit the name, move t he cursor down to the desi r ed job number by pressing the down arrow key. Then press the ri ght arrow key to move the cursor to the desired char ac ter position and edit the character by pressing the up or down arrow keys to toggl e between characters of the alphabet. Numbers can be entered directly by using the number keys. Pressing CLEAR clears the current charac ter. When finished, you may either go to the curr ent job by pressing ENTER, or go to a different job, or exit job mode.

6.17.5.2 Editing Send Values To edit send values of an existing job, start by opening the desir ed job from the job mode screen. A

job is opened by one of two methods: pointing at the desired job with the cur sor and pres si ng ENTER, or by enteri ng the job number with the keypad and pressing ENTER. Once a job has been opened, the current job number will be displayed in the upper ri ght corner. NOTE: If the job is locked, it cannot be edited.

Send values can now be edited by m ov ing the cursor up or down to the desired send value and then typing over the exi sting value. To page up and page down, press the left and down arrow keys simultaneously.

6.0 Operation

To insert a send val ue, press the sof t-key “E” (Insert). This moves all send values down and provides a blank line after

Send values can also be enter ed usi ng the “Cut and Record” feature. Move the cursor t o the line where the send val ues are t o be insert ed. Then press soft-key “D” (Cut & Rec). “C & R” will appear in the upper right cor ner of t he left display. Each cut will add the current back gauge posi tion as a send value. When fi nished, pr ess soft-key “D” (Cut & Rec) again to exit c ut & record m ode. If there is a blank line where the cursor is, press the down arrow and it will disappear.

To erase a send value, press the soft-key “G” (Erase). This will remove the cut value currently being pointed to by the cursor. To backspace over the current send value wit hout removing the line, press the left arrow key.

When finished edi ting the job, you may exit the current job by pressing soft-key “F” (Job) to go back to the job mode screen or soft-key “H” (Exit) to exit to send mode. Or you may use the job for cutting since it is already open.

6.17.6 Running a Programmed Job

To use an existing job for cutting, you must first open it by using one of two methods: move the cursor to the desired job with the arrow keys and press ENTER, or enter the job number with the keypad and press ENTER. Once a job has been opened, the current job name and number will be displayed i n the upper ri ght corner. Now press SEND to move the backgauge t o the first pr ogr am m ed position (or send value). Make a cut by pressing both cut buttons. Once the cut i s made, the backgauge will automatically push out the paper (only if the next position is larger than the current one, and if “push-out” is enabled) and move to the next programmed position. If the job was created using the “Sheet Div ision” feature, the left screen will display a diagram of where to plac e the paper for each cut. After t he last c ut in t he j ob is made, the backgauge will move to the first cut position of the current job. Pr essing SE ND at any time during the job will send the backgauge to its next programmed posi tion without making a cut. A plus “+” sign will be displ ay ed at t he bott om of the screen if more cuts remain in the current job.

6.17.7 Exiting a Job

To exit an open job, pr ess the sof t-k ey “F ” (Job) to return to the job mode screen, or press the softkey “H” (Exit) to exit t o the send mode screen.

6.0 Operation

6.18 An Example Job

The following is an example of how to program a job that will be used to mak e two cuts: one at 8.5” and one at 11”.

1. Turn on the machine and press CLEAR to preset the backgauge. P r ess the sof t-key “F” (Job) to go to job mode.

2. Type i n an unused j ob number and press ENTER. Note: It must be a number that does not correspond to an existing job. All existing jobs will be displayed on the screen (you may have to scroll thr ough them to see them all). If you wish to replace an existing job with the new job, first erase the exi sting job by moving the cursor to it and press the soft-key “G” (Erase). Now type in the new number and pr ess ENTER. In this example, job #’s 1, 2, 5, and 6 already exist. We will use job # 7 for our new job. Press “7” and ENTE R.

3. The cursor will move down to the new job number. At this point , press the right arrow key once to move the cursor to the fi r st character position. Now name the job “8.5 X 11”. To do this, press “8” on the number k ey pad. Then press the decimal “.” key and so on. To enter the spaces and the lett er “ X”, use the up and down arrow keys to t oggle through the alphabet and press the right ar r ow key to move to the next character position.

Now press ENTER to begin progr amming the job.

4. To ent er the first send value of 8.5”, simply type in 8.5 and press ENTER. The cursor will move to the second li ne. Now type 11 and press enter. At this point, you coul d exi t and sav e the job by pressing the sof t-key “H” (Exit) to exit to send mode, or the soft-key “F” (Job) to exit back to the job mode screen. However , lets use this job to cut paper.

5. Press the do wn arrow key once. This will remov e the blank line 3 and move the cursor to the first send v alue ( 8.5”) . Now press SEND. The bac k gauge will move to the 8.5” position. Place the paper to be cut against the backgauge and press the cut buttons. Once the cut cycle is complete, the backgauge will push out the paper and move to the next send value (11”). Now positi on the paper again and make another cut. After the cut is made, the backgauge will push out the stock and return to the first cut posi tion, ready to repeat the current job.

6. Now lets l oc k the current job so it cannot be edited. First, exit bac k to job mode by pressing soft-key “F ” (Job) . Now move the cursor down to the new job using the down arrow key. Now press the soft- k ey “E” (Lock ) to loc k the job. A lock symbol will appear indicating the job has been locked.

7. To exi t back to send mode, press the soft-key “H” (Exit).

6.19 Operati ng Tip s

Carefully lay out each sheet before you start cutting. Find the best cut pattern to give you the most pieces out of the sheet. If the sheet will be folded, be sure grain of the paper is runni ng in the same direction as the fold or you will get a rough edge on the fold.

If an accurate cut is necessary for close register work, you MUST have a sharp blade in the cutter. A dull blade will pull or draw the paper and c ause uneven cutting. Increased clamp pressure will not eliminat e draw caused by a dull knife.

The correct clamping pressure varies from paper to paper. The general rule is that you should have enough pressure to hold the paper securely but not so much that it m arks the surface of the paper excessiv ely . Excessive pressure causes pile distor tion and inaccurate cuts.

6.0 Operation

Mark the gripper edge and the guide edge of printed paper and make sure the fi r st c uts are with these guide edges against the back gauge.

Measure printed paper to check for shrinkage or expansion of the paper from humidity. You may have to disregard t he pri nted cut lines and make your own.

When cutting busi ness card s or narr ow str ips of paper, place lift s of equal height on opposite sides of the table to prev ent wear of t he cl am p guides.

7.0 Knife Installation/Changing

Changing knives can be very danger ous unl es s saf ety precautions are

observed and extrem e c ar e is tak en when handling knives.

• Make sure knife lift er s are proper ly installed, see instructions following.

• Keep handling of unprotected knives to an absolute minimum.

• Clear off cutter table before removing knife.

• Have scabbard on cutter table and insert knife immedi ately.

• Warn people of any unprotected knife.

• Knife changing is a ONE PERSON OPERATION. Having more than one person trying to

change kniv es invites accidents.

7.0 Knife Installation/Changing

7.2 Knife Installation

Knives are heavy and always very sharp! Be sure to keep the edge away from your body and keep other people out of the area while handling the blade. Severe lacerations or dismemberm ent could result from careless handling pr oc edur es.

1. Make sure t he k nife and clamp are in the up position. If they are not , t ur n on the power and press the CLEAR butt on. Once t he bac k gauge is pres et, press both cut buttons to send the knife and clamp up.

2. Turn the power off and lockout power to machi ne, see Power Lockout P r oc edur e, page 5.

3. Pull out the cutting stick using the cut stick removal tool and turn it to a new surface. If the cutting sti c k is not l ev el or fl ush with the table, 1/2” strips of paper can be placed in the table slot under the cutti ng stick to shim it.

4. Rem ov e the left retainer screw from the new blade and screw the knife lifter assembly into the new blade. Screw the lif ters all the way in and then back them out a 3/4 turn).

5. Rem ov e the other scabbard retainer screw.

6. Double c hec k to make sure the knife adjusting screws have been backed out all the way (Figure 21, page 42). Guide the blade, left edge first, into the space bet ween the knife bar guide fra mes on the left. Move the right end of the blade into the machine, under the knife bar slot. Align the lif ters with the slots in the knife bar, raise the k nife into the knife bar slot as high as it will go and ti ghten t he lifters.

NOTE: If the blade will not go in, either the lifters are screwed into the blade too far, or the end of the blade is hitting the cylinder bracket at the ri ght end of the knife slot. In this case, drop the left end when insert ing the knife.

7. Insert the knife bolts with washers and snug to hol d the knife, but don’t tighten them yet.

8. Rem ov e the k nife lifter assembly and replace with bolts and washers.

9. Pl ac e a few sheets of paper over the cut stick, covering the stick end-to-end.

10. Restore power to machine and turn power on.

11. G o to the MAINTENANCE screen and choose KNIFE ADJUST. Choose KNIF E DOWN, t hen press and hold the cut butt ons to send the k nife to the down position.

12. T ur n the power off and lockout power to machi ne.

13. T ur n the knife adjusters down evenl y, a littl e at a time, until the knife cuts through the bottom sheet of paper the entir e length of the cutting stick (Figure 24). Turning the screws down evenly prevent s uneven wear on the knife and cutting sti ck.

15. Pr ess CLEAR. This will raise the knif e and cl am p to the up positi on.

16. T ur n the power off and lockout power to machi ne.

17. T ighten all knife bolts securel y.

18. Restore power to machine and turn power on. Make a test cut through a full lift of paper and make minor adjustm ents if necessary by repeating steps 9 through 17. NOTE: If the knife ends cut but the middle doesn’t, you could have dips or uneven spots in the knife and/or cutting sti c k. These can be eliminated by placing 1/2” stri ps of paper in the t able slot beneath the cutting stick to shim it.

19. Send the dul l knif e to a k nif e grinder. Do not att empt to sharp en your o wn kniv es! S ee the Knife Care Tips Secti on below to determine the knife bevel angle.

7.3 Knife Care Tips

! KNIFE SAFETY ! Knives are DANGEROUS!!! They are heavy and very sharp, even after use. Keep the edge away from your body and keep the area clear of others when handling knives. Nev er touch the cutting edge! To prevent personal i njur y and damage to the knife, always keep kniv es i n their holders with screws tightened. You ar e aware of the dangers, but others may not be. Never attempt t o hone, polish, or service the knife in any way. Failur e to follow safety procedures may resul t in severe lacerations or dism emberment.

7.3.1 Knife Blade Life

Knife blade lif e, or the time between sharpenings, can be affected by many factors. One import ant factor is the type of paper being cut. Abrasive paper, such as recycled paper, soft paper such as newsprint paper, and bound book s can all significantl y shorten knife blade life. Also, if t he k nife depth is set too deep, the knife will cut too deep into the cutting stick and c an dull the k nife blade.

A knife can last between 2,000 and 5, 000 c uts before it needs to be sharpened. Cutti ng soft paper (such as newsprint paper) or paper with high post-consumer recy cl ed c ontent can cause the knife to need sharpening after only 2,000 to 3,000 cuts. Cutti ng pure paper, such as bond paper with no recycled content, or hard paper can allow the knife to be used for as many as 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened. In all cases, the oper ator should continually check the quality of the cut to determine when the knife blade needs to be sharpened. Som e characteristics that indic ate a blade needs sharpening are:

7.0 Knife Installation/Changing

• The knife hesit ates or stalls while making a cut.

• The sheets are not all cut t o the sam e length (usually the top few sheets are longer t han the

rest of the sheets - this is sometimes called “draw”).

• Cut marks appear on the cut f ac e of the paper.

• The profil e of the cut (side v iew) is not perpendicular to the t able.

• The cut does not appear straight when viewed from the top.

• The knife makes a “rougher ” sound as it passes thr ough paper.

• Nicks are vi sibl e on the cutti ng edge of the knife.

7.3.2 Cutting Stick

A worn cutting stic k can affect the cut quality of the bottom sheets. W hen this happens, the cut stick can be rotated. Usuall y, the stick should be rotated one or two times between knife sharpenings.

There are 8 possible cut stick positions. The stick can be rotated 4 times, and then turned end to end, and rotated 4 times agai n.

7.3.3 Bevel Angle

Challenge recommends that bevel angles for the Titan 265 knives be in the range of 21° to 23°. In general, a 21° bev el angle will provide better cut quali ty when cutting soft paper (such as newsprint), recycled paper, or bound books. However, 21° angle kniv es can become dull sooner than 23° knives, which results in shorter k nife blade life. A knife with a 23° bevel angle, on the ot her hand, will not dull as easily, and can prov ide satisfactory results when cut ting most types of paper. Knives shipped with the Titan 265 from the f actor y hav e a bev el angle of 23°.

7.3.4 Helpful Suggestions

 If your establishment is large enough to purchase more than one set of knives, have one set

beveled at 21° and the ot her at 23°. Note: A set consists of 3 knives: one in the machine, one as a back up, and one at the grinder .

 If the machine seems to str ain but the cut quality is still good, reduce the pile height. You

may also carefully apply glycerin to the bevel when cutting hard, coated paper. Tie a cloth to the end of a stick; di p the stick in gly cerin, and apply. Never apply by hand! In lieu of glycerin you m ay li ghtly rub white bar soap along the bevel. Lubri c ation will prolong the life of your machine and r educ e m aintenance.

7.3.5 Knife Care

• To prevent corrosion, knives are coated with light oil. It should be REMOVED WITH CARE.

• While removi ng or i nstalling a knife, be careful not to allow the edge to bump against the

machine. Nicks will result.

• If a knife bolt is damaged, r eplace it.

7.0 Knife Installat io n/ Changing

• Always keep knife bolts securely tightened.

• Always use the heavy - duty knife bolt washers provided by Chall enge. Failure to do so could

result in scratching or marring of the clamp face.

• Store knives in a dry envir onm ent to prevent corrosion.

• Never attempt to service a knife in any way.
