The chuck is a slotted face plate mounted on the front of the main spindle. It is fitted with a setof 3 push-in type pin holders for external gripping. When fitted with the rotating mandrel, it issupplied with a set of pin holders capable of gripping a range of log roll diameters from 76.2 ∼to 305 mm (3” ∼ 12 ”).
3.7 KNIVES
All knives should be engraved with the word TOP for correct location on knife spindle. Knife isalways mounted on the spindle with engraved marking to the top and with main/primary bevelfacing AWAY from chuck and supported by a backing plate** on each side and held in place bya cap screw. When properly set, runout must not exceed ±0.1 mm (0.004”)(4 thou). ReferSection 5.4 **Backing plate should also be engraved with TOP for correct positioning and alsoOUT to indicate which plate is place on the outside of knife.
Caution: Always use cut resistant gloves when handling knife
3.8 KNIFE SHARPENINGRefer Section 4.5 for bevel requirements to achieve good slitting results (See Fig 3.7)
3.9 KNIFE SPINDLE
The knife spindle in conjunction with backing plates holds the knife firmly to keep it within anacceptable runout both radially and axially. (See Fig 3.8)

CN860 Operation, Maintenance & Spare Parts Manual 10
A knife brake is fitted to the spindle (see Fig. 3.10).The knob behind the knife pedestal should betightened just enough to slow down the knife rotationas it cuts through the material. This will help if there isa problem with double cutting or when slitting narrowwidths. Varying the amount of braking can be usefulwhen slitting all types of products
When slitting hot stamp foils the knife spindle brakeshould be tightened so that the knife is stationary untilit contacts the core. The knife must rotate when itcontacts the core, so that a new section of knife edgeis exposed, thus preventing a dull spot forming oncutting edge.
3.11 KNIFE LUBRICATION
The knife lubrication is used to keep heat down which resultsfrom friction between the knife and the material being slit,and to prevent adhesive build up on knife and slit roll.
3.11.1 STANDARD LUBRICATIONFoam Pads fitted either side of knife which can besaturated with lubricant from p0ump action bottle
3.11.2 VENTURI SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The system is fitted using a vacuum generator (Spray Nozzle).Compressed air flowing through the vacuum generatordraws water into the air stream to form a mist. The unitis located on top of the knife guard. Two plastic containersare located at rear of machine. One holds lubricantwhile the other collects residual oversprayAs a lubricant, add approximately 30ml of lubricantto 2 litres of water to the water container.We recommend the use of Javelin lubricant tominimise rust.
Note: The spray only operates when theknife is moved forward, off the rear stop
If problems arise see Section 6.1 for trouble shooting.
3.12 KNIFE PEDESTAL
The knife pedestal is mounted on the carriage plate. The indexing hand wheel (refer Fig 3.13)is used to move the knife along the bed of the machine. The hand lever (refer Fig 3.11) isused to move the knife towards the mandrel.

Indexing is achieved by traversing the knife carriage and reading off the indexing counter(when fitted). The knife pedestal traverses by hand wheel and rack and pinion. When theknife is moved forward off the reset switch, the counter resets to zero for the next index. (Reffig 3.13.1)An electronic counter (Optional) provides a digital display for the width of cut.
3.13.1 DIGITAL COUNTER (WIDTH DISPLAY) (when fitted)
The Digital Counter is connected to a rotary encoderand is graduated in .2mm (.008”) increments:

CN860 Operation, Maintenance & Spare Parts Manual 13
Slitting by the single knife method is basically the ability of a circular knife todisplace the slit roll as it enters the log.
Single knife slitting is not a precise science. Slitting results are affected by anumber of factors including:
• the type of backing (i.e. Polyester/Cloth/Foam)• evenness of adhesive coating,• tension under which the log has been wound to• knife diameter• knife sharpness or dullness• air or room temperature
Materials which are too dense or have been wound too tightly may be unsuitable toslit by this method. In this case either the roll must be rewound to a lesser tensionor the material cut on a machine known as a slit/rewinder.
Knife parameters are crucial in successful Single Knife Slitting (Refer KnifeSelection Section 4.6)
As widths bering slit increase so must the secondary or back bevel on the knife inorder to balance the forces and achieve a straight cut.
CAUTION: Failure to pay attention to choosing a knife with the correctbevel can result in the knife chipping or in an extreme case shatter.
CAUTION~ always use cut resistant gloves when handling knives ~
CN860 Operation, Maintenance & Spare Parts Manual 14
The JAVELIN series CN860 is a Manually Operated Single Knife, lathe type slitting machinefor cutting log rolls of Fibreglass, rubber, adhesive tape, stamping foils & textiles.
The CN860 will accept a log roll up to ∅305 mm (∅12”) x 1630 mm (64”) & core diameter of∅76.2 mm (∅3”) is standard. Other mandrels from ∅1” diameter are available on request.
The log roll is slid onto a PE sleeve covered steel mandrel from the right hand end of themachine and secured internally by expanding jaws and externally by a 3 pin chuck.
The width of cut is checked by using the optional Digital Width Counter, or by manuallymeasuring with a tape measure.
When the machine is turned ON, the chuck spindle will rotate the log roll. By pulling the handlever forward manually, the knife will move forward making its first cut through to the core onwhich the material is wound. Upon completion of the cut, the hand lever is pushed all the wayback until the knife clears the diameter of the log ready for indexing to the left for the next cut.
Also refer to Sections 4.2 Slitting tolerances/4.3 Principles of single knife slitting

4. Load log roll onto mandrel and slide up to face of the chuck
5. Raise mandrel support arm
6. Secure log roll by inserting the T handle into the chuck and turning anti clockwise toexpand internal jaws (Do Not overtighten). When required push chuck pins into OD ofmaterial and tighten screws on back of chuck plate.
7. Ensure the end of the log roll is pushed up against the chuck face to prevent anydeflection during slitting.
8. Using the hand wheel traverse the knife carriage to the right hand end of log roll and towhere the first cut is to be made.
9. Press mandrel start button.
10. Turn mandrel speed dial to required RPM
11. Adjust brake to suit product to be slit.
12. Turn Venturi spray system to lubricate knife (if fitted)
13. Using hand wheel index knife to position where first cut is to be made while checkingdisplay digital width counter (if fitted) for accuracy.
14. Engage carriage lock (Ensure surface dry and clear or clamp may move during slittingresulting in a width error)
15. Pull hand lever forward with even pressure to make the cut until the knife cuts throughthe material and the core. The spray (if fitted) should operate as the knife comesforward.NOTE: If log roll rotation becomes uneven, stop cutting action briefly and then recommence witheven pulling action on handle with arm straight and standing back from machine a little more. (seeFig 4.5 below)
16. When the cut is completed, push the hand lever all the way back until the OD of the logroll is cleared and the digital counter (if fitted) is reset to zero.
17. Using the hand wheel move the knife to the next slitting position and repeat from No 14.
√
Photo 1 – Correct position - shows the correct arm position with theoperator back a little from the machine when pulling the cutting lever.Action should be an even action until the cut is complete.
Photo 2 – Incorrect position – shows the operator standing too closeand pulling the lever with a bent arm action. This will result in the knifedeveloping vibration particularly with larger diameter log rolls..

4.5 KNIFE SELECTION~ always use cut resistant gloves when handling knives ~
KNIFE BEVELSWhen slitting narrow widths only a primary bevel is requiredbut with wider widths a back bevel is needed to balance the forces on eitherside of the knife so that it will cut straight through the roll without deflecting
CAUTION: Knife may be damaged or shatter if insufficient back bevel on knifewhen slitting wide widths. Trying to slit a roll to a wide width from a tightly woundlog roll, using a knife with insufficient back bevel, risks chipping or shattering the knife.

The knife is the most important item on your machine.Knives should be kept in a purpose built cabinet and knifeedge protected with protective strip.
~ always use approved protective gloves when handling knives~
Operators should read the guidelines for knife selection, preparation and maintenancecarefully.
4.7 ROUNDING KNIFE EDGE
Operator MUST wear cut proof gloves when performing this function.
Turn off power at main isolating switch and using a Shielded Oil Stone (see Fig 4.8) hold thestone flat against knife edge and slowly rotate the knife with the other gloved hand. This willhave the effect of dulling the sharp edge. Polish knife edge with Scotch Bright™
IMPORTANT NOTE
If knife is slightly chipped youwill need to return to supplierfor repair. .

7.2 INTERLINED & NON ADHESIVE COATED MATERIALSEG VINYL USED IN SIGN INDUSTRY
PROBLEM/EFFECT CAUSE REMEDIESInside of roll movestowards end of log
Layers of vinyl or othersubstrate not bondedtogether as with self woundadhesive products.
Glue end of roll with Hot MeltGlueLog roll should be pushed againstchuck face or spacer roll.
Difficulty pulling knifethrough log roll
Film wound too tight. Checkback bevel on knife suitablefor width being cut
Rewind to lesser tension.Use knife with larger back bevel.
Log roll stops rotatingbefore cut iscompleted
Non adhesive Paper/Film/Foilslipping on the core
Use strong adhesive tape toanchor the leading edge ofpaper/film/foil to core.Reverse the direction of rotatingmandrel as this has effect oftightening the roll.
Knife pushes vinyl/filmaside and will not cutthrough core
PROBLEM/EFFECT CAUSE REMEDIESPoor quality slit rolls Knife is dull Sharpen knife more frequently
Log roll loosely wound Rewind to tighter tension. Wraplog roll with stretch film.
Mandrel speed too slow Increase mandrel RPM as muchas possible.
Width of slit roll variesfrom outside to insideof roll
As product is not bondedtogether centre layers moveas knife penetrates roll.
Bond end of roll (at chuck end)with Hot Melt GlueUse roll support at r/hand end ofroll
7.4 HOT STAMP FOIL
NOTE: Log tension for narrow slit rolls up to 48mm should be tighterLog tension for wider rolls 72mm plus should be less tight
PROBLEM/EFFECT CAUSE REMEDIESEdge of knife shatters Foil wound too tight Rewind to softer tension
Insufficient knife brakefriction
Tighten brake so knife turnsonly when cutting through core.
Knife too sharp Slightly round cutting edge ofknife
Width of slit roll variesfrom outside to insideof roll
As product is not bondedtogether centre layers moveas knife penetrates roll.
Bond end of roll (at chuck end)with Hot Melt GlueLog roll should be pushed againstchuck face or spacer roll.
NOTE 1: When slitting large diameters of Hot Stamp Foil on a 25.4mm I/D core themandrel speed must be reduced. The knife brake must also be used to lock the knife at alltimes when slitting stamping foils. Knife should rotate only near the core.NOTE 2: Lubricant should not be used when slitting stamping foils.

8.1 DENSE MATERIALS (i.e. rubber, some fabrics and foam tapes):
1. Use a strong adhesive tape to anchor the leading edge of your rubber/fabric/foamsto the core onto which the product is to be rolled.
2. Roll up product as tightly as possible and use adhesive tape to hold outer edge inplace.
3. Wrap finished (log) roll tightly with stretch film.
4. This will help prevent slit rolls falling apart.
5. For heavy materials reduce mandrel speed to avoid vibration
6. For softer materials increased mandrel speed.
7. The leading edge of rubber on outside of wrap of log roll should run in the oppositedirection to mandrel/chuck rotation.
8. Adjust knife brake so that knife begins to rotate only as it enters the log roll.
8.2 FILM PROTECTION TAPE
1. Use knife with equal bevel on both sides for cut widths wider than 50mm.
2. Use small amount of knife brake
3. Keep mandrel speed between 1/3rd to half speed.
8.3 SLITTING INTERLINED MATERIALS
Any interlined material especially large diameters need to be glued with a hot melt glue atthe chuck end only, to prevent the centre of the log roll slipping away whilst it is being cut.
Note: When slitting copper, lead or aluminium foil whether or not coated with a pressuresensitive adhesive, an interlining paper is essential to achieve quality slit rolls.
