1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION METAL DOT MATRIX i s a n a u t o m a t i c f e e d e r ( METAL

DOT MATRIX 2000) and manual feeder (METAL DOT MATRIX 1000) stamper unit which use and

new punch technology to stamp special characters, symbols and also logos on a variety of metal plates, including stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass (see chap. 1.5 for more details). The various functions are controlled by a microprocessor which manages the internal counters and the storing of data such as formats and texts in an on board CMOS memory. A small backup battery supplies the charge for the memory thus permitting all information to be saved and ready for subsequent use even if the machine has been switched off.

The METAL DOT MATRIX system consists in an stamper unit driven by a Personal Computer (not supplied) by means of the dedicated CIM software named SWORD.

The system may also run in offline mode, without software, to facilitate setting operations.

OPERATOR MODE (ON LINE)

With the on line standard mode the stampings commands are transmitted by Host Computer with the serial interface RS232 using CIM, XON/ XOFF, STORED or MULTIEMBOSSER protocols. The layout is defined on the Host Computer with the Software supplied with the equipment (SWORD). Refers to chap. 5 and SW user's manual for details about using of the SW.

SETTING MODE (OFF-LINE)

The off line mode is intended for testing and setting purpose only in order to semplify settings and advanced operations (for expert operators or technical)

With this modality commands are transmitted by means of a keyboard connect to the rear panel DIN connector. This modality permits to expert operators to modify the setup parameters of the machine (Annex A) and to make pre-defined jobs (CARD TEST) in order to verify the correctness of settings and the functionality. Refers to Annex A for details.

1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The machine should work in a closed room protected from dust and excessive humidity. The machine should be positioned in such a way that its distance from the walls, doors, windows, other machines or working positions garantees immediate access in the case of urgency, maintenance or reparation.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS MACHINE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF OTHER OPERATING MACHINES WHICH PRODUCE DUST SINCE DUST CAN DEPOSIT ITSELF INSIDE THE MACHINE AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL ELECTRIC DEVICES.

LIQUID SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE MACHINE COVER SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN WATER SEALED.IT IS PARTICULARY IMPORTANT TO AVOID OXIDATION WHICH WOULD ADDTO THE WEAR AND EROSION OF THE MECHANICAL PARTS.

The machine has been made with fire proof materials thus diminishing the risk of general fire. Short circuit protection has been implemented so that the power supply is immediately isolated thus avoiding unwanted current absorption from the external power line.

THE MACHINE GENERATES A WORKING NOISE LEVEL LESSER THAN 75DB (MEASURED AT A DISTANCE OF ONE METER AND AT THE HEIGHT OF

1.60 M FROM THE GROUND). WORKING WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF STEEL PLATES OR WITH THE MACHINE PLACED ON A SUPPORT TABLE WHICH AMPLIFIES AIRBORNE NOISE OR WITH CARELESS MECHANICAL SETTING (SEE CHAP. 5.1.3), THIS VALUE MAY BE EXCEEDED. IF THE DAILY PERSONAL EXPOSURE OF THE OPERATOR TO NOISE IS LIKELY TO EXCEED 85DB THE OPERATOR MUST WEAR SOME FORM OF EFFICIENT EAR PROTECTION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 86/188/CEE STANDARDS.

5.1.3 STYLUS ADJUSTMENT

REV. 05-2008

The machine is configured by the constructor in the final testing phase for the production of alluminium plates of thickness 0,5mm.

For steel plates or for plates of greater thickness it is ne cessa ry to m odify the he ig ht of the st yl us (3 ).

To registry the stylus refers to fig. 5.6 and do as follow:

- Switch off the machine and lift the front cover.

- Loosen the allen screws (1).

- Turn the black knob (2) clockwise or counterclockwise in order to increase or decrease respectively the height of the stylus.

- Tighten the allen screws (1).

To reach the best calibration we suggest to carefully attend to the following steps:

1. Loose the allen screws (1);

2. By using the knob (2) increase the height of the stylus in order to insure the passage of the plate;

3. Put the plate in the clamp and manually move the clamp until the plate is in the working position (under the stylus);

4. By keeping lower the solenoid with your finger, turn the knob (2) until the stylus goes in contact with the surface of the plate (don't press the surface).

5. Tighten the allen screws (1).

6. Close the cover, switch-on the machine and start the Card-Test Nr. 1 (see annex A.10);

7. Looking the resulting plate you can see if you need more pressure.

8. To increase the pressure loose the allen screws, turn the knob counterclockwhise of about 1015° (1 complete turn= 1,25 mm height), tighten the screws and repeat the card test.

9. If necessary repeat steps 7 and 8 until the result is acceptable.

The operator should make a habit of doing general maintenance on the Stamper so as to ensure a correct and long lasting functioning of the system. The operations are simple but for maintenance inside the machine it is necessary to call the Technical Assistance. Thus it is absolutelyThe routine maintenance is as follows:

6.3.1 TROLLEY-TRUCK OILING

MAINTENANCE 6

The oiling of the trolley truck should be done every six month, if the machine works 8 hours/ day, using vaseline oil:

• Oil the clamp's trolley guide (1) top and

bottom moving the trolley by hand back and forth to assure an even distribution of the oil and to control the fluidity of the movement.

• Oil the clamp guide (2) in the same way as

above moving the clamp by hand and controlling for unhindered movement. In case of friction or jamming which persists call the Technical Assistance

• Remove any excess oil.

• Oil the camshaft (3).

6.3.2 PLATE LOADER OILING

• Oil t he holes of the plate loa der group shown

in the figure.

Repeat this operation every 20 days or every 1500 produced plates.

Every 6 months the internal mechanical parts should receive a general oiling. This can be done however only by a specialised person.

When the general maintenance is finished switch the stamper on and control that the front cover blocks all operations. If this not the case call the Technical Assistance because one or more safety devices could be dammaged.

Oil with vaseline the guide of the pushers (1).

i.e. the stamping data is entered from that keyboard and does not come from a connected computer. The operator may create and store formats and enter card data using the keyboard.

The formatting procedure is discussed in Section

2. The LCD edit ( off-line ) mode does not depend

on a Host Computer connection. A format must be created and stored before

data entry is possible. See Section 2 on LCD edit format creation and storage. All formats can be given a name of up to 8 characters in length. The first format ( primary format ) '01' is a default format. This format will be selected automatically when the LCD edit function is requested for the

first time after switching on by pressing the key. Any format can be selected by using the

key followed by the format #, followed by

the Enter key two times.

the number of motor steps used to move the card from one character to the adjacent character.

Motor Steps are shown as "Cost". The " Cost of 07 " produces a standard character

space. (10 cpi). The " Cost of 10 " produces an OCR character

Card Layout (Preformatting)

It is recommended to make a layout of the card to be formatted with all the special parameters, such as mod checks, character size, number of fields, field position, etc.. before starting the formatting procedure.

What to do before programming a new format : 1 Layout a card as desired or use a similar

existing embossed card. There is a formatting template at the back of this manual.

2 Make a table for the necessary programming

reqiurements. There are blank forms at the back of this manual. The following card format will be used as a

programming example in describing the formatting functions in this section.

Example of a Formatted Card.

Fig. C.2

Format Layout

A specification sheet should be completed for every format. The following is an example sheet written in order to help in the preparation for the formatting of the Card in Figure C.2. The template at the end of this manual can be used in determining the X and Y co-ordinates. The forms at the end of this manual can be used to record the necessary programming values.

Step-2: Format Location Selection. If the format is going to be the primary format,

(the format that is used most often), it should be placed in location " 00 ". If it is not the primary format, select any available format n u m b e r between 01 and 19 inclusively.

A Host Computer can send data to these formats, thus if the format to be designed will be used by the Host, data processing must be notified to determine the number to be given to the format.

Step-3: Format Selection An example test format will be programmed in

format No. 14. Refer to page 80 for the layout of the text.

Format 14 was selected because when the menu was scanned by pressing ESC, F2 and then tabbing through the fields, Format 14 had a default name of "OPEN". All open formats will be named "OPEN".
