Sharpening
Operating principle of the sharpening system
Vector®
(iX and Q25 models) - Mechanical maintenance sheets
M50
Index 1
Page 1/2
Sharpener's operations
- Sharpening is done through two sanding belts fitted on a pivoting arm.
- The tension of each sanding belt is adjusted by a loose pulley associated with a compression
spring.
- The sharpening arm is placed in front of the blade through a jack controlled reciprocally.
- The sharpening pressure is managed by the pressure and flow adjuster.
Sharpening is only possible when the blade is in up position and at a specific angular value in relation to the
blade zero. This value is determined by configuring the micro plotter program.
Sharpening principle
- Pressure 1 is the pressure exerted by the arm when the blade is in position 1 and the sharpening
direction is negative (-).
- Pressure 2 is the pressure exerted by the arm when the blade is in position 2 and the sharpening
direction is positive (+).

Sharpening cycles
The sharpening cycles are performed during empty movements. Their number and their duration can be
programmed by the user.
The vibration speed used during a sharpening cycle is different from the speed used for cutting
(configurable from the microprogram ª 3000 rpm).
To ensure that the sharpening is correct, the motor's rotation direction must correspond to the
direction indicated previously for positions 1 and 2 of the blade.
Breakdown of a sharpening cycle
A single sharpening cycle (Sharpening Parameter Number = 1) is broken down into six separate steps:
1. Rotation of the blade in position 1.
2. Rotation of the sharpener arm and rotation of belts in the “Sharpening -” direction.
3. Sharpener return.
4. Rotation of the blade in position 2.
5. Rotation of the sharpener and rotation of belts in the “Sharpening +” direction.
6. Sharpener return.

7. If required, adjust the position of the vibration box lower conical limit stops.
8. Check the position of the blade bottom position detector.
Adjust it if necessary, until the diode lights up.
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 blade breakage detection sensor
Vector®
(iX and Q25 models) - Mechanical maintenance sheets

Index 1
Page 1/2
Presentation:
Blade breakage detection is carried out by a SICK® photoelectric detector. A light beam is emitted by the
sensor which bounces off the blade. The sensor output signal is digital, it is 0 in the absence of beam
return and switches to 1 when the beam is received.
The sensor is connected to the head board on connector A16-J19.
Operating principle:
The “Blade breakage detection” function on the Vector iX,Q25 is carried out in a binary manner.
The detection cycle operates in a blade rotation and vibration position.
We recommend carrying out sensor adjustments using a carbide blade which has a smaller
operating margin than steel blades.
Initial state:
The machine is switched on.
Adjustment procedure:
1. Adjust the blade bottom point following the instructions in the “Blade bottom point calibration”
assistant in the “Machine adjustment” box.
2. Select the “Blade breakage detection” function on the “Machine control” tab.
3. Run a blade breakage detection cycle.
- The blade is then in the correct rotation position for detection.
- The beam impact point must be in the center of the blade and approximately 15 mm from
the point.

- The “Blade breakage detector” light must be lit.
- If the light does not turn on, adjust the beam length potentiometer in order to obtain a return signal,
rotate clockwise. The orange light comes on.

The cursor must always
be on “L”
4. Lift the blade so that the beam passes under it: the light should go out.
- If this does not happen, the length of the beam is too long and can reflect on the presser foot.
- Reduce the length of the beam using the potentiometer on the sensor by rotating in a
trigonometric direction.

Adjusting the spread height sensor

(iX and Q25 models) - Mechanical maintenance sheets
M69
Index 1
Page 1/4
Presentation:
The purpose of the spread height sensor is to calculate the height of the spread by using the position of
the presser foot. The presser foot jack receives a SICK® brand sensor. It detects the position of the jack
piston by magnetism. The output information is analog and varies between 0 and 10 V. This sensor
connects to the head board with reference A8-J26.
Operating principle:
•
The “Blade breakage detection” function operates using a square signal.
•
It operates in a blade rotation position and carried out a vibration.
•
The function checks the point of the blade.
•
Each time the blade passes through the beam the sensor state changes in “CMachine”, and it is this
state variation frequency which is measured according to vibration speed.
Initial state:
The machine is switched on.
Fitting for the first time and initializing the sensor:
1. In the top position, move the sensor until the detection light (1) turns on.
2. Action the presser foot control and check that the light (1) is still on.
- If the light switches off, reposition the sensor so that the light (1) stays on through the jack’s range
of use.
3. Once the sensor is in place, tighten the locking collar(s).

Reinitializing the sensor
Once the sensor has been moved, it is necessary to initialize it again.
The sensor retains the previously saved initialization in memory; this calibration inhibits a part of the
maximum sensor utilization range. Because of this, when you test the presser foot jack detection over its
full path, the orange light will extinguish.
1. Initialize the sensor:
- In the top position, hold the button until the light flashes.
- Release the button.
- If the light flashes twice as quickly, this means that the sensor has not detected anything opposite
in this position.
Adjust the sensor height until the light flashes at a normal frequency.
- Lower the presser foot to the center of the cutting area by depressing 100% and press the button
again.
- The light becomes continuous, the sensor is initialized.
- If the light flashes twice as quickly, this means that the sensor has not detected anything opposite
in this position. Sensor initialization has failed. The sensor retains the previous calibration value.
Adjust the sensor height and repeat the procedure from the start.
Calibrating the sensor
1. Run the spread height sensor to obtain the sensor range.
2. Follow the assistant instructions.

3. Once the assistant has finished, check the settings using a block of a known height.
4. Measure the block using the “Measure spread height” key.
5. Also check the height measured when the presser foot is in the upper position, it must be equal to
the height defined by the machine characteristics.
6. Check that the measurement carried out on the conveyor is equal to 0 mm.
Example of poor sensor adjustment:
Case 1:
In this example the sensor is installed too high.
When the sensor is initialized, in the lower presser foot position, the light will go out
indicating that it cannot detect the presser foot jack.
If the correct settings are retained and the sensor is moved too high, the measurement
value will not become negative and no alert will signal that the piston is outside the
maximum sensor value.
Case 2:
In this example the sensor is installed too low.
At the start of sensor initialization the light, which should flash, flashes twice as fast
indicating that the piston cannot be seen by the sensor.
If the correct settings are retained and the sensor is moved too low, the measurement
value will not go beyond the maximum spread value and no alert will signal that the piston
is outside the maximum sensor value.

The zero positioning camera function is carried out using a Microsoft® brand webcam. It is located at the
front of the cutting head on most Vectors. Only Vector iX9 “Drill 4” is equipped with two webcams which
are located on the sides of the barrel. The webcam is connected to the USB card on the cutting head
using A57-JB3 and A57-JB4 for the second webcam.
The USB cable which supplies power to the machine hub must be connected to one of the USB
ports on the facade of the CPU, which cannot control the webcams and the touch screen on the
same hub.
Initial state:
The machine is switched on.
Adjustment procedure:
Calibration of this function is carried out by an assistant: “Adjustment of zero positioning camera”.
WARNING! In the webcam properties, you must check that the “Truecolor” function is deactivated.
