SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERAL INDICATIONS
1.
DEFINITION OF THE STANDARD INITIAL STATE
All the dismantling operations described must be carried out, unless otherwise specified, with the
cutter switched off: electrical and pneumatic lines switched off and isolated at the circuit breakers.
The machine must be isolated by two padlocks immobilizing the electrical switches in the "0" position
for the isolating switch on the control cabinet and the "Off" position for the power circuit breaker on
the control cabinet.
(The padlocks are not supplied by Lectra.)
Control Cabinet line circuit breaker.
"Vacuum" line power circuit breaker.
The tools, blade and punch needle, are removed.
(Use suitable protective gloves.)
Before starting any maintenance, briefly clean the head.
Some of the specific tools necessary for the servicing and maintenance of the Vector, which are referred to
in this document, are delivered with the cutter, and the remainder can be ordered using the Lectra item code.
2.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS
You can get information about the safety data sheets of greasing and gluing products stated in this document
by contacting your Lectra call-center.
3.

Replacement procedure:
On each side of the beam:
1. Fix the new pinions (10) using the screws (12) glued with normal Loctite 243 screwlock and
tightened to a torque of 6 Nm.
2. Adjusting the eccentrics:
- Position the beam at the front stop toward the coda.
- Turn the eccentrics (9) downward to remove any play between the pinion teeth (10) and the racks
(11) and tighten the stop plates (8).
- With two persons, move the beam over the entire length of the racks and search for the location
where the pinion is most restricted (stiffness).
- Unscrew the stop plates (8).
- Perform another adjustment and then tighten the stop plates (8).
- Re-check that there is no restriction between the pinions and racks.
3. Position and tension the belts.
4. Lock the tensioner unit screws (3) using normal Loctite 243 screwlock.
A beam squaring adjustment must be carried out (see sheet M2).

Aim:
To prevent damage to the cutting bed conveyor blocks (blade too low) and to prevent poor cutting of the
lower plies (blade too high).
Tools:
Standard tools, Pencil – Rule.
Initial state:
The head is in place on the machine. A new blade is fitted. The cover is open.
The blade zero adjustment has been performed (sheet M19).
The control cabinet is switched on, control part only.
Pre-adjustment:
1. Open the head cover.
2. Close the air inlet.
3. Turn the crankshaft by hand to position the blade at top dead center.
4. Raise the presser foot and, with the pencil, mark a line on the blade tangent with the rule placed on
the cutting bed, as shown in the figure below.
5. Remove the blade and check that the distance between the line and the point of the blade is equal to:
7 mm + the thickness of the rule.

Checking the adjustment
The covers are in position. The power part is switched on.
1. Open the air inlet.
2. Place a sheet of polyethylene and set the vacuum to maximum.
3. Move the head to the center of the cutting area.
4. Adjust the blade vibration speed to 10 rpm.
(Minimum vibration parameter in the machine parameters.)
5. Set the presser foot pressure to -2 bars.
(Negative value to keep the Presser Foot in the raised position.)
6. Activate the blade lowering command.
7. Activate the blade vibration command.
8. Visually check that at top dead center, the blade leaves the bed with a maximum value of 4 mm.
The blade point should be continuously in the bed but not excessively.
9. Return the head to normal operating conditions:
- Adjusting the minimum vibration speed.
- Adjusting the presser foot pressure.

To obtain a correct view, it is important that the blade is new.
To see the measurement, a spacer of a corresponding thickness can be placed beside the blade.
If the blade penetrates too far into the bed, this will cause premature deterioration of the bristle blocks
and cause cutting quality problems in the lower plies.

Adjusting the vibration belt tension

(iX9 and iX6 models) - 2000h and 4000h preventive maintenance guide

Index 1
Page 1/1
Aim:
To optimize the tension value on the blade vibration belt.
Tools:
Standard tools, 30cm rule.
Initial state:
Standard initial state, described in paragraph 1 of the "Safety instructions" chapter.
The belt is already installed.
Never twist the vibration belt as this can damage its armor.
Maximum tension not to be exceeded (breakage of the Kevlar fiber of the armor) = 1.2%.
Adjustment procedure:
1. Make 2 marks on the belt so that the distance between them can be easily measured.
2. Slightly unscrew the nut (1) on the tensioner spindle, so as to allow vertical movement in the return pulley.
3. Turn the screw (2) so as to apply 0.8% tension to the belt:
Principle: When a tension of 0.8% is applied to the belt, the measurement between the two marks is multiplied by
1.008.
Examples: Measurement without tension = 200 mm. Measurement with belt tensioned = 200 x 1.008 = 201.6 mm.
4. Manually turn the transmission for the equivalent of 2 to 3 belt turns.
5. Using a rule, check the measurement between the two marks (3).
6. Lock the nut (1) when the adjustment is correct.

Each time a new belt is fitted to a head, the measurement, without tension, between the 2 marks should be
