Setting up the CMC

Congratulations on acquiring the Wizard™ computerized mat cutter (CMC). The following instructions will

walk you through unpacking and setting up the CMC.

Begin by clearing an area for the CMC. Refer to the Stand Instructions for the minimum amount of space

needed.

Setting up the Stand or Wall Mount

CAUTION: The stand MUST be assembled before unpacking

* the CMC so it can be immediately installed in the operating position.*

Assembling the Stand Assembly

Refer to the stand assembly instructions located in the box. If the instructions or any parts are missing, call

Technical Support at (888) 855-3335.

Taking the CMC out of the Box

1. With the help of a second person, place the box carefully on a at surface,

cut the strapping tape and lift the cover of the box away. Take care to save the

packaging.

2. The drive shaft is the thin cylindrical bar on the left that runs the length of the

Gantry. The gantry arm is the thick rectangular housing on the right that runs

the length of the gantry. Only use the gantry arm to move the gantry across the

board.

3. Working together, carefully lift the CMC straight up out of the box. Gently set

the CMC upright resting on the foam corners.

4. Position the CMC on the wall mount or stand, making sure that none of the air

lines are crimped, and that the grounding strap on the rear side of the board is not

crimped between the board and stand arm.

5. Remove foam corners and move the boxy out of the way.

6. Follow the instructions that came with the stand to secure the CMC into place and attach the grounding

strap.

7. Place the foam corners back into the box. Save packaging, foam corners and shipping blocks (removal

instructions below) for future use. See Contract Section 1 “Shipping Charges.”

NEVER SKIP AHEAD ON ANY STEP! Never pull/push on the Drive Shaft to move the Gantry. Use the Gantry Arm.

CMC 8000RC/FrameShop 20-71034-1 GettingStartedManual8000RCFrameShop http://info.wizardint.com/KB/default.aspx#pageid=getting_started_manual_8000_rc 04/05/19

Remove Gantry Cover

1. Remove the screw holding the bottom gantry cover in place, and set the cover and screw aside aside.

Removing the Shipping Blocks

1. Locate the four shipping blocks holding the gantry in place. There are two on the upper gantry. One is to the left of the gantry on the underside of the top rail,

Wizard CMC Model 8000 RC Hardware and Software Getting Started Manual

and one is to the right of the gantry on the top of the rail.

There are two shipping blocks on the lower gantry on either side of the gantry on top of the the bottom rail.

2. Remove the shipping blocks by loosening the 3/16” Allen screw from the T-Nut. Slide the T-Nuts to the right end of the rail; a pencil tip helps. Reattach the T-Nuts to the shipping blocks and place them in the shipping box for storage.

Check Squareness

Check the Drive Belt Lines

1. Move the gantry all the way to the left. Move the gantry slowly toward the right until a red mark is visible on the drive belt of the

upper gantry. Conrm that the red mark lines up with the red mark

on the drive pulley.

Without moving the gantry, look at the lower drive belt of the

gantry and make sure the red mark lines up on the lower drive

belt and the drive pulley. If they do not, call the Help Desk.

Head Installation

Install the Head onto the Gantry

Do not pick up the Head using the Blade Depth Knob.

1. Remove the two 5/32" screws from the head and set aside.

2. Move the gantry to the right edge of the CMC.

3. Point the head so that the foot block faces toward the CMC and the wheels are

close to the bottom of the gantry.

4. Line up the wheels on the head to the center channels of the Gantry arm. Ease the Head onto the gantry arm and ease the head onto the gantry.

5. Roll the head up on the gantry until it lines up to the head grabber arm

(attached to the right side of the gantry).

CMC 8000RC/FrameShop 20-71034-1 GettingStartedManual8000RCFrameShop http://info.wizardint.com/KB/default.aspx#pageid=getting_started_manual_8000_rc 04/05/19

Page 11

6. Holding the head in position so that the head lines up neatly to the head grabber arm, replace the two 5/32” screws, making sure they go into the head grabber arm and into the

head and tighten rmly.

7. Connect the air to the head by twisting the two air ttings together, matching colors.

8. Connect the head power plug (square connection) to the head grabber arm.

Hooking up the Gantry and Air Lines

Wizard CMC Model 8000 RC Hardware and Software Getting Started Manual

Connecting the Board Cable

*Carefully align the pins of the board cable before applying pressure to plug it in. The connector is keyed to avoid incorrect pin alignment. Forcing the connector will result in damage.*

1. The board cable connects the gantry on the CMC to the Driver Pack/ECU. Connect the male end of the board cable to the back of the ECU by aligning the pins and turning the locking ring until it seats itself and locks into place.

2. Connect the female end of the board cable to the back of the gantry in the same manner.

3. Move the gantry to the far right of the CMC and back to make sure the board cable does not get caught on anything. If the board cable

is obstructed, this will a󰀨ect your cuts.

CMC 8000RC/Frameshop 20-71034-1 GettingStartedManual8000RCFrameShop http://info.wizardint.com/KB/default.aspx#pageid=getting_started_manual_8000_rc 04/05/19

Attaching Air Lines and Air Regulator

Air Lines are color coordinated. Color refers to connector, not the color of the tubing.

1. Follow the air line with the blue connector from the top of the gantry. Make sure that it is connected to the back of the board, and that none of the air lines are crimped.

2. Follow the air line with the red connector from the top of the gantry. Connect it to the right side of the air regulator by inserting the red connector on the end and twisting it into place.

3. If it’s not already connected, insert the air regulator line (short air line with reducer)

onto the left connector of the air regulator.

4. Plug the reducer located on the short air line from the left side of the air regulator into the main air supply via 1/4” NPT female connector or quick

disconnect, whichever type was purchased (shown is the 1/4” NPT female adapter). Teon tape can be

used on the thread to reduce possible air leakage.

5. The air compressor should supply at least 100psi.

6. Strap the air regulator with the glass bowl down to the left large wall bracket or side of stand, making sure not to crimp any air lines. The hardware to connect the air regulator to the stand is included in the

stand hardware kit.

7. Turn on the air.

* CAUTION: The air regulator is factory-set. Do not make adjustments to it.*

Install Gantry Cover

1. Replace the gantry cover and attach using the screw that was removed earlier.

WARNING: To avoid damage to the CMC, do not operate the CMC without the Hoods in place.

CMC 8000RC/FrameShop 20-71034-1 GettingStartedManual8000RCFrameShop http://info.wizardint.com/KB/default.aspx#pageid=getting_started_manual_8000_rc 04/05/19

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When I click cut, it makes a lot of noise and breaks the blade even though I’ve followed the troubleshooting

suggestions. What do I do?

If the motors have been idle (i.e., you can move the head because there is no power to the motors), or if a cut has been aborted, the head will have to be aligned before cutting. Otherwise, the head is rotated into the incorrect position and will break the blade. See "Align the Head" on page 19 in this document for more information.

Q: I click cut and the matboard moves around and does not cut correctly. How do I x this?

Make sure that the air compressor is turned on, and that the air lines are not pinched. The CMC requires air pressure to engage the clamps and cutting head.

Q: My opening is cut in the wrong place, what should I check?

Make sure you are placing the matboard correctly into the CMC. See "Go to Cut Preview to Cut the

First Mat" on page 16 in this document for further instructions. If the CMC is not cutting the outside

of the mat, re-measure the mat again and make sure that it was trimmed down to the correct size. If the

CMC is cutting the outside of the mat, see the Congurations section on the Knowledge Base at http://

info.wizardint.com/KB to determine if the opening adjustment needs to be adjusted.

Q: What process does the computer use to download corners?

Click check for corners on the license screen. FrameShop will use the internet connection to download corners. If not connected to the internet, FrameShop can connect to Wizard via a modem.

Q: My FrameShop keeps opening in demo mode and will not cut. What should I check?

Make sure that the ECU is properly hooked up, plugged in and turned on. See "Connect the Driver

Pack/ECU" on page 13 in this document for more information.

Q: How do I order Blades?

You can access our Web Store at www.wizardcutters.com/store or by calling order processing at 888/855-3335.

Q: Do I need to save the packaging the CMC came in?

YES – for warranty purposes, if you ever need to return a part, these boxes will be needed. Rental customers are required to keep all packaging to return the machine at the end of the rental period.

Q: Why is air leaking from the air regulator when I turn on the air compressor? Is this an issue?

This is normal. One of the purposes of the air regulator is to collect moisture that may be trapped

within the air line. The air regulator is self releasing when the air compressor is turned o󰀨. When the

air regulator has built up enough pressure after turning on the air compressor, the air leaking will stop.

If the air compressor is not building enough pressure, the user may install a shut o󰀨 valve to allow the

compressor to build up enough air pressure.

Q: What process does the computer use to download Corners?

When you Click Check for Corners, FrameShop will check to see if you are connected to the Internet. If you are connected to the Internet, FrameShop will use that connection to download your corners. If you are not connected to the Internet, FrameShop will manually dial out to get your corners.

Q: Where can I get more information on specic questions?

Our our Knowledge Base at http://info.wizardint.com/KB has a search feature. See also

"Troubleshooting" on page 22 in this document for more information. You can also call Technical

Support at 888/855-3335 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

Hardware Maintenance

Paper dust is very abrasive. The CMC is a high tech precision piece of equipment that requires periodic tuning for accurate mat cutting. Damage caused by improper maintenance is not covered by warranty and will necessitate return of the CMC to the factory for rebuilding/repair.

Maintenance Schedule

Do not spray anything directly on the CMC; spray onto a cloth and then wipe.

Daily:

1. With compressed air or soft brush, clean lower rail, horizontal/vertical clamps and head of any matboard debris.

2. Check backing mat for excessive wear, and change if necessary.

3. Check blade depth and blade installation.

4. Properly shut down computer and ECU at night.

Weekly:

1. Clean CMC rails with a soft cloth and general purpose cleaner, especially the lower rail where wheels have the most contact with the machine.

2. O󰀪oad the Air Regulator. See "O󰀪oad Air Regulator" on page 24 for instructions.

Monthly:

1. Clean and drain the air compressor to ensure that the air line is free of moisture and oil. Moisture is very detrimental to hardware and can cause a variety of problems. Check your air compressor documentation for instructions.

2. Wipe down foot block on head with a soft cloth and mild cleaner.

3. Remove and clean blade cartridges with adhesive release.

4. Check the blade cartridges for wear and tear. There should not be excessive side-to-side movement of the blade within the cartridge.

5. Make sure that the CMC is still secure in the brackets/stand to avoid any tip-over hazard.

6. Readjust the head wheels after 250-500 mats. See the Head Wheel Adjustment on the Knowledge Base

at http://info.wizardint.com/KB for instructions.

Offload Air Regulator

One of the purposes of the air regulator is to collect moisture that may be trapped within

the air line. The air regulator is self releasing when the air compressor is turned o󰀨.

Check the air regulator at least once a week for any buildup of moisture or oil. If there is any oil visible in the air regulator, the air compressor needs to be cleaned and drained to remove the oil in the air line. Refer to the compressor’s documentation for instructions.

The dial on the air regular should read 60psi when the air source is on and at full pressure. If it does not read 60psi on the gauge, call technical support.

Disclaimers

Caution: The CMC is designed to be used as directed. Any use other than that described within the documentation is

not supported and potentially harmful to the operator.

Caution: The CMC should not be operated when operator is fatigued, under the inuence of alcohol or narcotics, or

other medication where operating heavy machinery warnings are provided.

Caution: Due to the size and weight of the CMC, two people must perform identied installation operations. Noted

operations performed by a single person may result in injury.

Caution: The CMC contains moving parts that may cause injury if not operated in accordance with the instructions.

Only trained operators should operate machinery. Operators should not touch the CMC while it is cutting a mat.

Warning: Blades used within the CMC are sharp and will cause injury if not disposed of properly. Blades must be

disposed of in an appropriate sharps disposal container.

Warning: Hazardous voltages exist within the ECU. No user serviceable parts are located inside the ECU. Opening of

the ECU is prohibited.

Warning: Do not turn on ECU if board cable is disconnected on either end. Risk of electrical shock is present through

the ECU plug or non-terminated board cable.

Documentation is provided “as is” and all express or implied conditions, representations, and warranties, including any

implied warranty of merchantability, tness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, are disclaimed, except to the

extent that such disclaimers are held to be legally invalid.
