CHAPTER 1Introduction
The KVAL 700-C Frame Assembly Machine is generally used in-line with the Commander or 990
Series of machines.
The operation includes placing the strike jamb and header into the machine and clamping into place.
The door, with hinge jamb installed, is then moved into position, gently lowered into place, and then
securely clamped into position. A foot pedal activates the staple guns, which move vertically to attach
the jambs to the header. The door is then raised and rolled out of the machine to the next station to the
packaging station.
The 700-C is adjustable for doors from 18" to 4', wide with a standard length capacity of 6'8" or an
optional capacity for 7'0" and 8'0" doors. The 700-C can have up to four staple guns moun ted on four
corner brackets. Staple guns are not included.

on the top side of the disconnect switch. All maintenance and
repairs to electrical circuitry should only be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Before Conducting
Maintenance
Compliance with
Codes and Regulations
700-C3
Prior to performing any maintenance, repairs, cleaning or when clearing jammed
debris, you must disconnect, tag-out and lock-out the electrical and air pressure systems. This should be done in accordance with the state and/or federal code requirements.
KVAL Inc. advises that you request an on-site state safety review of your installation
of this machine. This is to ensure conformance to any additional specific safety and
health regulations which apply in your geographic area.
Other Hazard Control
When multiple people are
working on the machine, each
person needs to have a lock on
the handle in the extra holes
provided.
Action
Lock Out Procedure
This policy is required by OSHA regulation 1910.147 and Cal OSHA’S SB198 ruling of July 1991.
Use the following lockout procedure to secure the 700-C while it is powered down. During a locko ut,
disconnect all power and shut off the air supply. Be sure to use the tag-out guidelines noted below.
To lock out the 700-C
1. Assess the equipment to fully understand all energy sources (multiple electrical supplies, air supply
and pressure, spring tension, weight shifts, etc.).
2. Inform all affected personnel of the eminent shutdown, and the duration of the shutdown.
3. Obtain locks, keys, and tags from your employer’s lockout center.
4. Disconnect power.
NOTE:Always lock out electrical disconnects on both electrical cabinets
a. Turn the disconnect switches on the main electrical panel to the OFF position. Then pull out
the red tab and place a padlock through the hole. Place your tag on the padlock, as per the tagout guidelines below. (see picture below).
If you believe any part or operation of this machine is in violation of any health or
safety regulation, it is your responsibility to immediately protect your employees
against any such hazard and bring the matte r to our attention for review and correction,
if deemed advisable.
Additional detailed safety guidelines are included in the operating instructions of this
manual. KVAL will be pleased to review with you any questions you may have regarding the safe operation of this machine.
b. Turn the disconnect switch on the lar ger high-frequency panel to the OFF position. Then pull
out the red tab and place a padlock through the hole. Place your tag on the padlock, as per the
tag-out guidelines below
4700-C
Safety First!
5. Turn the main air valve to the OFF position and place a
padlock through the hole (see illustration).
NOTE: Place your tag on the padlock, as per the tag-out
guidelines below.
6. Insure the machine will not operate.
7. When maintenance or repairs are completed, the person
who performed the work must ensure all tools, spare parts,
test equipment, etc., are completely removed and that all
guards and safety devices are installed.
8. Before removing the locks and tags, the person who
attached them shall inspect the equipment to ensure that
the machine will not be put into an unsafe condition when
re-energized.
9. The lock and tag can now be removed (only by the person(s) who placed them), and the machine can
be re-energized.
10. The tags must be destroyed and the locks and keys returned to the lockout center.
Lockout and Tagout Guidelines
• Place a tag on all padlocks. On the tags, include your
name and date.
• These locks are only to be removed by the person
whose name is on the tag.
• If more than one person is working on the machine,
then each additional person places a lock and tag on
each disconnect.
• You may only remove your own lock and tag.
NOTE: When many people are working on the same
machine, a multiple lockout device is necessary.
Follow the P-R-O-P-E-R lockout rule of thumb.
P...... Process shutdown
R ...... Recognize energy type (electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, etc.)
O...... OFF! Shut off all power sources and isolating devices
P...... Place lock and tag
E...... ENERGY: Release stored energy to establish, insure and achieve a zero-energy state
R ...... Re-check controls and test to ensure they are in the “OFF” position

Zero-Energy Start-Up
Zero-Energy State to Start-Up to Operating State
Starting the equipment properly is just as important as the lock-out/tag-out procedure in terms of safety.
Start-up
• Inspect
• Clean up
• Replace guards
• Check controls
• Remove locks
• Perform visual checks
Inspect
When work is finished, the equipment must be inspected for proper adjustment before starting equipment.
Clean Up
All materials and debris must be cleaned up. Any combustible materials or old parts used during repairs
must be cleaned up and/or properly disposed of.
Replace Guards
Replace all equipment guards. If part of equipment cannot be properly adjusted after start-up with guard
on, leave only that guard off.
Check Controls
Confirm that all switches are in the “OFF” position. In some cases, the machine can start automatically
when energy is restored.
Remove Locks
Each person must remove his or her own lock and tag. This will ensure operators are in a safe place
when the equipment is started.
Perform Visual Checks
If the equipment is too large to see all around it, station personnel around the area and sound the personnel alarm before starting the equipment. If your operation is more complex, having many pieces of
equipment and a lot of people, a comprehensive lock-out/tag-out procedure may involve additi onal
steps. You will need to ask your supervisor about these procedures. A specific lock-out procedure may
be posted at each machine. On larger or long-term maintenance or installation projects, the procedures
should be explained to all participants and a copy of the procedures should be posted on-site for the
duration of the work. Provisions which ensure protection during shift changes when contractor or outside help is used must also comply with the lock-out/tag-out procedures. Comprehensive lock-out/tag-
6700-C
Zero-Energy Start-Up
out may use a gang box or other system to ensure that locks are secure and not removed without authorization.
Remember, lock-out/tag-out procedures work because you are the only one with the key to your lock.
Proper lock-out/tag-out can save lives, limbs, and money. Help make your work environment safe for
yourself and your fellow workers. Be sure to follow the P-R-OP-E-R lock-out/tag-out procedures, and
that those around you do also.
YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT.

Initial Set up
Initial Set up
Y our new Kval machine arrives at your plant crated, banded, taped, with painted set collars on all shafts,
keeping all of the precision moving parts secure during shipping.
1. To protect against damaging the machine with the forklift, move the machine as close as possible to
the area where it will be stationed before removing it from the crate
2. Use caution when removing the machine from the crate. Any time the machine is lifted to remove the
skids, there is a chance that the machine could drop suddenly, which could damage the machine or
injure people near the machine.
3. Remove all painted set collars from the shafts. Almost every shaft on the machine has set collars to
secure the moveable assembly mounted to the shafts.
4. Remove any tape securing the various buttons, switches and knobs. Level your Kval machine by put-
ting metal shims underneath the corners of the base. Leave a clear shot from the bolt holes in the foot
pads to your shop floor.
5. Once the machine is level, anchor it to the floor so that it won't move across the floor during opera-
tion. Kval recommends a ½-inch Red Head, Trubolt anchor in each of the foot pads.

Lubrication Requirements
This section describes the parts of the machine that require periodic lubrication, and specifies the lubricants. In addition, it explains how to maintain the lubrication systems on the machine.
Linear Bearings
If the bearing is equipped with a grease fitting, it
should receive 1 Gram (one pump from grease gun)
of Dura-Lith Grease (KVAL P/N Lube EP-2) every
30 days. Bearings without grease fittings have been
pre-lubricated at the factory and do not require further lubrication.
Flange Bearing and Pillow Blocks
Use Dura-Lith grease: 1 gram every 60 days.

Adjusting the Air Line Lubricator (not available on all machines)
Using the knob on the top of the lubricator, adjust until one drop per every other cycle is used (as
observed through sight glass.)
Priming the Air Line Lubricator
New and used machinery run out of oil from time to time. It is a good practice to check your machine
lubricator to insure that it is putting the proper dose of oil in the air lines. Usually 1 drop of oil every
other cycle is a good rule of thumb.
T o prime the lubricator, find an air line on the carriage section of the machine that is energized, and disconnect it, allowing the air stream to bleed air pressure away from any persons. Direct the air stream at
the machine so you can see when there is an oily film blowing out of the air hose. Repeat this same procedure for the back section and other trouble areas.
Check the lines every week to two weeks.

Staple Gun Horizontal Positing
The horizontal staple gun positioning subsystem consists of a two control valves, two oil canisters and
four transport cylinders and four oil flow regulators, The two control valves are located in the main
valve bank. The two oil canisters are located on the lower frame rail, one at each end of the 700-C. The
staple gun transport cylinders and oil flow regulators are located under the four staple gun carriages.
Both right hand-movable and right hand-fixed staple guns share a common control valve and oil canister, as do both left hand-movable and left hand-fixed staple guns
Staple Gun Transport Operation
A +24 volt signal from the PLC activates the control valve which pushes compressed air into the top of
the oil canister which pushes oil into the lower section of the horizontal cylinder causing the staple gun
to raise into the firing position. When the PLC removes the +24 volt signal from the control valve the air
in the top of the oil canister is coupled to the exhaust port and compressed air is forced into the upper
portion of the transport valve allowing the staple guns to drop. The drop rate is controlled by the oil
flow regulator. Each of the two control valves is controlled by a dedicated PLC output as shown in the
table above.

Firing the Staple Guns.
Each of the four staple guns is connected
to the main air supply through an air T ee.
One output of the air Tee is sent to the
staple drive input of the staple gun, the
other to a control valve. The output of the
control valve is connected to the staple
gun trigger (see illustration at right). A
+24 volt single from the PLC activates
the control valve which allows air to flow
to the staple gun trigger causing the staple gun to fire. Each of the four staple
guns is controlled by a dedicated PLC
output.
Through Beam Circuit
The through beam sub-system is
an incremental linear optical
encoder. Its function is to measure
mechanical motion. There is a
through beam circuit for each of
the four staple gun carriage. Each
through beam circuit consists of
an emitter, a receiver and a trigger
bar all of which are mounted to
the staple gun carriages See illustration at right.

Through Beams
The emitter is a visible light source. The receiver is a light sensor. The receiver is aimed at the emitter.
When the receiver senses the light from the emitter, the receiver will output a Low (0 Volt). If the emitter beam is blocked, the receiver will output a High (+24 volts). See illustration below. Each of the four
through beam outputs is connected to a dedicated PLC input.
Tr igger Bar
The trigger bar is a plate with 1/8” slots at ¼” increments
and is mounted to the main frame. The trigger bar passes
between the through beam’s emitter and receiver. As the
receiver and emitter move down the trigger bar the light
sensor outputs a Low for every slot in the trigger bar. The
“Lows” are counted by the PLC. See the illustration at
right.
At the start of the Staple sequence, the staple gun is approximately 1/2” from the top of the jamb. When
the Fire Guns button is pressed, the staple gun fires a staple. The staple gun transport cylinder is deactivated which causes the staple gun carriage to drop. As it drops the through beam sub-system counts the
slots in the trigger bar. Whenever the trigger bar slot count equals a number in the staple pattern, a staple
is fired.
Example:
For this example let’s say the selected staple gun pattern
contains slot numbers 7 and 12. When the “Fire Guns”
button is pressed, the staple gun fires, and this puts a staple approximately 1/2” from the top of the jamb. The
Staple gun carriage drops and the computer counts trigger bar slots. When the trigger bar slot count reaches 7 a
staple is fired. Then when the trigger bar slot count
equals 12 the staple gun would fire. The result would be
3 staples in the jamb at 1/2”, 2 1/4” and 3 1/2”. See the
illustration at right.

Troubleshooting
Manual override button
CAUTION: Once activated, The valve will allow full
pressure to cylinder. Make sure you are clear of all moving
parts.
Troubleshooting the Air Cylinders
Most cylinders have an extend and retract port. To adjust the extend motion of a cylinder you must
adjust the flow control on the retract port; this regulates the air flow exhausting from the cylinder and
the opposite is true for the retract motion.
1. Check the air pressure to the machine.
2. Check the flow controls to see that they are adjusted correctly and to the proper specifications.
3. Check for any obstructions to the cylinders such as screws or a mis-
placed tool etc. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
SIGNS DURING THIS PROCESS.
4. Check the solenoid air valves:
a. The solenoid valves can be manually operated by pushing
the red manual override button on the end of the valve.
b. If the valve seems to be leaking, the seals may be dry or contaminated with water or it maybe
that the cylinder “O” rings are damaged and air is passing from one side to the other side of the
cylinder which means the air is exhausting through the solenoid valve. It maybe is necessary to
purchase a rebuild kit or a new cylinder.
c. If the valve is not receiving an electrical signal, for instructions. It might be necessary to call
in a specialist or check with KVAL customer service at 1-800-553-5825.
5. If an Air Leak is coming from an exhaust port on the solenoid air bank:
50700-C
Troubleshooting the Air Cylinders
a. Check the solenoid for the manual override. If the solenoid has a manual override you can
push each of the buttons one at a time. When the air leak stops or weakens it usually means that
one or more of the cylinders that the solenoid is operating are faulty.

Troubleshooting
THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY TRAINED
ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL.
Troubleshooting Electrical Problems
The electrical component systems are designed to expedite the troubleshooting process and mini mize
“down time”. In general, component systems have the input or feed functions at the top. Output or load
functions are positioned at the bottom. Most two-voltage electrical panels are designed with the LOW
VOLTAGES on the LEFT, and the HIGH VOLTAGES on the RIGHT. The majority of the system components are labeled with numbers that correspond with the electrical prints included in the electrical box
door.
Computer controlled machines have signals on the computer that light up when the input or output functions are energized, respectively. Computer controlled as well as non-computer controlled machines
have white 120V control power terminal strips. This will indicate power supply from the respective circuits.
Idec controllers also have lights on them for the input and output functions. You can easily find out
which circuits are failing by watching the lights turn on or off. Compare the lights on the IDEC controller to the electrical print to determine what systems are being affected.
If the Power Stops During Normal Operation
1. Check that the input power disconnect switch is not turned off.
2. Check that all of the emergency stop buttons are in the normal position.
3. Lock Out and Tag Out the main power source.
4. Turn the panel disconnect switch in the off position, open the electrical panel door.
5. Observe the disconnect switches. Look for loose or broken wires at the disconnect then at all of the
components.
6. Check for continuity of all fuses with an OHM meter.
7. Check motor overloads by pressing each white button (usually at the bottom of the panel) in
SEQUENCE,. If one is tripped there will be a slight resistance to touch and a “click” sound as it is
reset.
WARNING
The following checks require the electrical panel to be energized. These troubleshooting checks
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN.
1. Remove lock and tag outs on the main power sources.
2. Manually close disconnect switches and energize the control circuit or transformer with its respective
switch. Observe that the numbers 1, 3 & 4 are lit on the white lighted terminal strip. This tells you that
there are no overloads or emergency stops tripped.
3. Most electrical problems are related to mechanical malfunction (e.g., stuck motors, jammed chain,
non tripped limit switches, etc.) The most common failure is an improperly adjusted limit switch. To
check a limit switch, manually operate the limit switch. If the computer terminal strips lights, the
switch needs to be re-adjusted. For more information on the limit switch specifications, see the manu facturer’s information. For limit switch adjustment procedures, refer to.
4. If a solenoid valve is suspected, and not cleared in the air checks section (see), it can be electrically
jumped to check operation.

Adjusting Limit Switches
If a machine suddenly stops in mid cycle, check the limit switches. A worn limit
switch arm or a misadjusted limit switch is more than likely the cause. (Another
potential cause is faulty photo eyes – for details.)
Depending on the model of limit switch on your machine, the pre-travel (amount
of movement from the limit switch arm’s resting position to the position at which
the switch actuates – with a “click”) is either 5 or 20 degrees. The DL-NCB has
700-C55
Troubleshooting
five limit switches that have 5 degrees of pre-travel (3 on the X axis and 2 on the Y axis), and two
switches that have 20 degrees of pre-travel (on the Cutter head).
If the arm is moved to the full extent of its travel and you do not hear the limit switch “click”, the switch
needs to be adjusted. Use the set screw on the limit switch arm and adjust the arm to activate at the
desired degree of rotation (see illustrations
below).
Examples of Limit Switches:
56700-C
Troubleshooting Photo Detectors
Troubleshooting Photo Detectors
Another cause of improper machine operation is a faulty or dirty photo detector.
There are two types of photo detectors, Through Beams and Photo Eyes.
• Through Beam Detectors consist of an emitter and detector. The emitter sends a light beam that is
sensed by the detector. The detector then sends 0VDC to the PLC. If the beam is broken the detector
sends 24VDC to the PLC.
• Photo Eye Detectors contain both emitter and receiver. If an object is within the Photo Eye’s sensing
field light from the emitter is reflected from the object back to the receiver. The Photo Eye then sends
24VDC to PLC. If no object is sensed the Photo Eye sends a 0VDC to the PLC.
If the photo detector is dirty, it will falsely sense the presence of a door, or other ob st ruction, and stop
the machine operation. If a suspected Photo Detector is clean check for the proper DC Voltage.
