5.1 Handling instructions for hose lines
- The defined operating pressure must not be exceeded.
- The hoses must not be subjected to tension and torsion (see picture 2, fig. 1).
- The hose line must not be bent (see picture 2, fig. 2).
- Do not pull or lay hoses across edges (see picture 2, fig. 3).
- Do not connect twisted hoses (see picture 2, fig. 4).
- Never drive a vehicle over the hoses. Loose hose lines laid on roads and paths
must be protected against damage, e.g. with hose bridges (see picture 2, fig. 5).
- In the event of high temperatures occurring externally, the hose lines must either
be fitted a sufficient distance from the heat-emitting components or protected by
suitable measures (shields) (see picture 2, fig. 6).
- Weights must not be suspended on the hose lines.
- Objects must not be allowed to fall onto the hose lines.
5.2 Securing the environment in the event of a hose failing
Hose lines must be laid or secured such that risk of the hose failing is avoided.
Danger can occur as a result of:
- the hose moving back and forth after tearing, e.g. through external influence,
- the pressure medium escaping under pressure,
- escaping pressure medium igniting close to a igniting source.
The danger can be avoided, for example, with protective coverings or shields.
5.2.1 Beware of hairline tears
- Escaping high-pressure oil can cause serious injuries
when impinge to the skin.
- In the event of an injury, immediately consult a doctor!
- Oil must immediately be cleaned from the wound.
- Do not search for leaks using a finger.
- Depressurise the hydraulic system before loosening
connections.
5.3 Storing hose lines
- Hose lines are subject to natural aging even when stores correctly and with
permissible loads. As a result, their storage time and period of use are limited.
When storing hose lines, the following should be observed:
- Store cool, dry and dust-free (ideally, wrapped in plastic); avoid direct sunlight or
UV radiation; shield from nearby sources of heat.
- Do not use ozone-forming lights (e.g. fluorescent lights, mercury vapour lamps)
or electrical devices in the immediate surroundings
- Hose lines must be stored de-energised and in a lying position. If storing in
rings, the smallest bend radius as recommended by the manufacturer, must not
be exceeded.
5.4 Labelling the hose lines
- The hose is labelled with manufacturer and operating pressure.
- The maximum permissible operating pressure and month./year of manufacture
are labelled at the pressurised neck.
7
5.5 Periods for checking and replacing hose lines
- Check the hose lines for external damage, tears, bends and inflating after
every use.
- The operator must ensure that hose lines are replaced at reasonable intervals,
even if no safety deficiencies can be detected on the hose.
- The hose line must be replaced 10 years after manufacture at the latest (see
label)!
- Hose lines must be checked before first start-up of the technical equipment
and then at least once a year to ensure a safe working condition by a properly
trained person. For examples of possible deficiencies, see 5.6 below.
5.6 Examples of possible deficiencies to hose lines
- Damage to the external layer to the insert (e.g. chafing, cuts or tears).
- External layer becoming brittle (tears to the hose material).
- Deformations not corresponding to the natural shape of the hose when under
pressure or depressurised, or when bent, e.g. separation of layers, bubbles,
squashed areas, bends.
- Leaks.
- Installation requirements not observed.
- Hose leaves the fittings.
- Damage or deformation to the fittings which alleviates the function and stability of
the fittings or the hose – fittings connection.
- Corroded fittings or metal inserts, which alleviates the stability.
- Storage times and period of use exceeded.
6 Indented use
LSI 600E and 400E cutters are exclusively to be connected to a LUKAS power package
of series PO... / LSI being equipped with a suitable electromagnetic valve assembly.
Model LSI 600 comes without any control valve. It is meant for stationary use and is to
be operated by a taylor-made LUKAS power unit.
All cutters serve for cutting steel, sufficiently hard ferrous metals or cables.
7 Description
7.1 Cutters
The devices are designed in such a way that a hydraulically actuated piston via
mechanical joints symmetrically closes two identical cutter blades positioned opposite
each other to cut the object in question. The blade geometry is adapted to the application
so as to avoid as for as possible sliding of the material to be cut between the blades.
Opening of the blades is also effected by hydraulic-mechanical means (with reduced power).
7.2 Connection diagram
To help the operator understand the function of the
device, the connection diagram shows the complete
unit (cutter unit and pump power pack).
8
7.3 Hydraulic power package
A LUKAS motor pump of PO6... LSI series is to be used for operating the devices. If the
power pack comes from a manufacturer other than LUKAS, it must be ensured that it
fulfills the LUKAS specifications (see connection diagram), as otherwise dangers may
occur for which LUKAS cannot be held liable. Especially it has to be made sure that the
permissible working pressure of 50 MPa (500 bar) is without consultation with LUKAS
not exceeded.
7.4 Hoses
The connection between pump power pack and cutter unit is normally effected with
LUKAS hoses. If pipes are to be used, please contact LUKAS.
7.5 Control of movements in operation
7.5.1 LSI 600 (device without valve for externally controlled operation)
For hydraulic connection two extra hoses are required (hoses to be ordered separately).
The hoses are to be mounted to the pressure ports in the cylinder bottom and to be
tightened with a torque of 45 Nm. When fitting the cutter unit to a manipulator, certain
principles must be absolutely observed to avoid any risk for persons and the device:
- The device must be fitted swivelling around its longitudinal axis (made possible by
means of an axis of rotation on the robot or an adequate rotor sleeve / LUKAS special
accessories) so that before the cutting operation it can adjust itself at a right angle
to the object to be cut.
- Safety covers and/or measures for safety shut-off must be ensured.
Important!
Before putting the device into operation, mounting must be agreed with LUKAS from
the engineering and safety points of view in all cases.
7.5.2 LSI 600 E and 400 E
(Device with switch actuation for manual operation and manual control)
These devices are operated electrically. The electric connection cable has the same
length as the two hoses.
8 Connection of the devices
8.1 Hydraulic (LSI 600)
In the cylinder bottom can be screwed in 2 LUKAS hydraulic hoses in any desired length.
8.2 Hydraulic (LSI 600E and LSI 400E)
Two hoses (each 0.5 m long) are fitted to the device; they are connected with the pump
power pack via a hose pair (5 m / 10 m / 20 m, as is necessary). All hoses are colour
marked and have rapid action couplings so that they can be connected without the risk
of mix-up:
HP = High pressure ——> red, R = reflux ——> blue.
9
8.2 Connection of the plug-in coupling counterparts for HP and R hoses
The device is connected to the hydraulic pump with the plug-in coupling counterparts
(plug and socket), there being no risk of mix-up.
Before coupling, remove the dust protection covers and unlock the connect socket with
adjusting ring by turning it. Withdraw the sleeve and connect plug and socket while
holding the sleeve in this position. Release the sleeve and set the showglass to „red“
with the adjusting ring. Now the parts are connected and locked. Decoupling is done
in the reverse order.
Note regarding the modified release mechanism as of June 2004
When connecting the hoses, be aware of the following basic functions of the quick couplers:
X
X
Before coupling unlock the connect socket by turning the sleeve into position X. Retract sleeve
and connect plug and socket. Release sleeve and turn it into position Y.
Now the connection has been made and locked. Uncoupling is done in the reverse order.
Connection of the hoses is possible only, when they are depressurized.
In order to prevent contamination of the tool lines protect the couplings with delivered
dust caps.
Attention!
Quick couplers partly have special functions. Therefore it is not allowed screwing them
off from the hoses or to exchange them.
Y
8.4 Electric (only LSI 600 E and LSI 400 E)
The 0,5 m long electric connection cable (USA: 3m) on the device is fitted with a plug
which has to be connected with the coupling of the electric feeder cable running parallel
to the hose pair from the power pack. Make the connection by inserting the plug in the
socket and lock it by turning the knurled locking ring.
9 Operation
9.1 Preparatory measures
9.1.1 Initial start-up
Before initial start-up and after repairs, the device must be vented:
- Connect the device to the hydraulic pump.
- Fully open and close the device at least twice without load.
9.1.2 Inspection of operating state of the pump power pack
——> See separate Operating Instructions of the power pack in question.
10
Note:
Before working on the pump power pack or for coupling/decoupling the hoses, make
sure that the pump power pack is switched off (electric connection) or disconnected
from the mains and that the lines are unpressurized.
9.1.3 Warnings
Before any operation of the cutter unit (concerns manually as well as remotely controlled
devices) make sure that the movement of the blades does not constitue a risk to
persons (involved or uninvolved) or that the blades or cut-off parts jerking away cannot
damage property.
It is strictly forbidden to grip between the blades!
Do not cut
- live wires,
- pressurized gas or fluid lines,
- prestressed and hardened parts (such as springs, spring steels, steering columns,
rolls) as well as composite materials (steel/concrete) without applying special
approved safety measures for persons or sufficiently dimensioned machine covers.
9.2 Principles on cutting
The blades must be applied at a right angle
to the object to be cut. To enhance cutting
performance, cut as close as possible to
the blade fulcrum. On cutting, the gap
between the blade tips must not be larger
than 3 mm. (Risk of blade fracture!)
9.3 Cutters LSI 600 E / 400 E
By pushing the buttons 4 (see cover page) the tool is opened
(push the green button) respectively closed (push the red button).
By operation of both buttons at the same time there is no function
(blades/arms don't move).
9.4 Cutter unit LSI 600
The device is controlled in a semiautomatic or fully automatic way via a remote control.
Intervention on the device as such is not possible.
Function of pressure connections: Connection „A“: cut (close blades)
The connections on the device are marked.
Free swivelling movement around the longitudinal axis must be ensured: see Section 7.5.1.
Only thus can the cutter unit during the cutting operation adjust itself at a right angle to
the object to be cut. Otherwise the blades will be bent up on cutting, which results in
dramatically reduced service life.
If on setting-up persons work in the immediate vicinity of the cutter unit, the necessary
measures for fitting safety devices, automatic safety shut-off (e.g. „photoelectric
barriers“) or manual „emergency stop buttons“ must be taken.
Connection „B“: open blades
11
10 Dismantling of the device / Stop after operation
10.1 Cutter unit
After operation, close the blades to a tip distance of a few mm. This relaxes the unit
hydraulically and mechanically.
10.2 Hydraulic power pack
Stop the hydraulic power pack after operation.
10.3 Hoses
Uncouple the red hose first and the blue hose second as described under 8.3. Put dust
caps over the couplings.
10.4 Electric lines
During longer breaks, the electric lines should be disconnected.
11 Maintenance
11.1 Cutter unit
After each operartion and after the end of the shift respectively, a sight check must be
carried out, at least once a year. A function test must be accomplished every 500
operating hours or if there are doubts about the safety or reliability (clean first if dirty).
Visual inspection

• Perfect opening and closing with external / internal switch actuation
• Check of central bolt tightening torque
MA = 130
+10
NM (see also drawing to Section 12.3.1).
11.2 Covers
• Inspection of safety devices at / around cutter unit.
12
11.3 Fixture in manipulator
• Perfect condition of chucking and fixture of the device.
• Easy operation of rotating sleeve.
11.4 Electric elements
• Check of electric connections / couplings.
• Perfect function of actuating switch.
12 Repairs
12.1 General
Servicing should only be carried out by the manufacturer of by staff trained by the
manufacturer and by authorised LUKAS dealers.
Only components, which are available as original LUKAS spare parts, may be
exchanged, because possibly there must be observed necessary special tools,
assembly instructions, safety aspects or tests. Therefore use only original LUKAS
spare parts.
Overpressure safety of the cutters (when not connected)
Undesired pressure could be charged in the device as a result of incorrect connections
and temperature increases. Therefore the blue return hose has a safety coupling (quick
connect plug, coloured yellow). Undesired overpressure (approx. 1.5 MPa) is
automatically released via this plug: oil escapes as well, this is not a malefunction.
If foreign couplings are used, which do not have this function, an overpressure safety
element (opens at 30 MPa) in the cutter valve will take care for pressure equalization.
Oil escapes in the area of the star grip. After the pressure has decreased, the valve is
leak-proof again.
If the valve is permanently leaking, the device must be checked by LUKAS.
12.2 Preventative service
12.2.1 Routine checks
The torque of the central bolt must be checked regularly.
For torques, see the chapter „Technical data“.
Damaged blades can be maintained by sharpening to a total of 0.5 mm. Please ensure
that the internal cutting edges are coplanar.
The central bolt must be lubricated once a day with LUKAS special grease.

B
The lubrication nipple (A) is directly in the
central bolt on the side of the self-locking nut
(B).
13
Lubricate the cutter with a grease gun with
LUKAS special grease as shown in the
picture right.
Excess grease on the lubrication nipple
(see left) after lubrication should be removed
and disposed of professional.
Attention!
When working with upturned blades, in particular, please ensure that no coarse
fragments reaches the mechanical parts under the hand guard of the device. Moveable
parts of the device could be blocked as a result and even be destroyed.
The device must be checked for dirt and impurities in the mechanical part after each
of such applications, and cleaned if necessary.
picture 1
Unscrew handle and pull back the hand guard according to picture 1.
picture 2
Clean dirt and shards from mechanical parts as shown in picture 2 and blow out
with compressed air carefully.
The hand guard has to be replaced, if it is considerably worn or torn.
14
2.2.2 Main checks
The mechanical transfer elements on the device are subject to very high
mechanical stresses and therefore they must be checked after 500 operating
hours at latest. Thereby, appearances of attrition can be detected early so that
breakages can be avoided by timely replacement of these worn parts.
Perfect parts can be reassembled after careful lubrication with LUKAS special
grease.
Parts with limited wear (fretting marks) can be refurbished by polishing and reassembled
after careful lubrication with the corresponding grease.
If there are heavier traces of wear, the damaged parts must be replaced (in pairs).
At these intervals, it is essential to check the blades for crack. A special crack test
kit is available.
From time to time the cutter must be cleaned and lubricated with oil to protect it
against external corrosion.
12.2.3 Function and load test
If there are doubts about the safety and reliability, an additional function and load
test must be carried out. For that purpose LUKAS offers a test equipment.
12.2.4 Changing the hydraulic oil
- Change the hydraulic oil after approx. 500 operating hours, but after 2 yeas at latest;
- Whenever the oil of the appropriated pump (motor / hand pump) is changed. Mixing
the cutters used oil with fresh oil must be avoided because of impurity.
Procedure
The cutter is in closed (retracted) position • Change oil of the pump. Unscrew return hose
on the pump:
- for hose connection: unscrew the connector from the blue return line;
- for quick couplings: Fully release the union nut on the plug-in coupling of the blue
return line.
Slowly extend the device with the pump. Collect the old oil from the annulus side in a
separate container and dispose it like the old oil from the pump • Actuate the pump no
longer.
Reconnect the return hose to the pump:
- Tighten the union nut on the plug-in coupling according to 12.3.6,
- Tighten hose nipple in the valve block with MA = 45 Nm,
- Ventilate device according to 9.1
12.3 Repairs
12.3.1 Blades / blade arm and levers

For daily use it is to be distinguished between max cutting performance and cutting
performance under continous duty.
In the interest of a long tool life and acceptable service intervals, we recommend not
to exceed permanently the figures given for continous duty. Applications in the range
of the max. cutting performance require a perfect condition of the blades and shortened
service intervals.
