• Remove knife.• Move the carriage forward and adjust the FORWARD CARRIAGE STOP to give
maximum travel in the forward direction.• Adjust the REAR KNIFE STOP to give maximum travel to the rear.• With the ram stroke now adjusted for maximum travel move the carriage to the
fully forward position.• The oil should rise and fall in opposite reservoirs.• Check the reservoir with the higher level of oil, which should be approximately
50mm below the air inlet port at the top of the reservoir. If the oil level is lower addoil as required.
• To add oil:1. Turn off air supply to the J3000.2. Remove reservoir fill plugs. With an oil can,
filled with the specified oil, fill the reservoir.Avoid squirting oil in the quick exhaust valveslocated opposite the fill holes. (If the quickexhaust valves do become filled with oil theymay take 5 minutes to clear once you havestarted running the machine.)
3. Push by hand the carriage forward and backto check the levels again.
Fig. 5-2-1 Oil Reservoir
• Move the carriage to the rear position and againcheck the level in the other reservoir and fill ifrequired.
• Replace the fill plugs and connect air.• Replace knife.• Remember – re-adjust forward and rear carriage
stops.
BLEED AIR FROM SYSTEM
• Remove knife.• Adjust forward and rear carriage stops to give maximum travel.• Start the machine with the mode switch in the semi-position.• Leave to cycle back and forth for approximately three minutes. The air will bleed
from the system automatically.• After switching off, re-check oil levels as per previous instructions.
If the system constantly requires bleeding, check the tightness of all connections thatmay be causing an oil or air leak.
In the event of oil exhausting from the carriage forward - retract pneumatic valvecheck the following:
1. If either of the oil reservoirs are over filled oil will exhaust from the pneumaticvalue - refer to “checking oil levels in reservoirs”.
2. The simplest way to remove the oil from the pneumatic lines once they arecontaminated with oil is to remove the silencers, adjust the forward and rearcarriage stops to give maximum travel and cycle the carriage in and out in semimode until the air exhausting out of the valve is clear of oil (10 - 20 minutesapproximately).
3. In the event that the oil levels are adjusted correctly and yet after a period of timeone oil reservoir over-fills and the other empties .... this is a sign that the seals inthe carriage cylinder are leaking and must be replaced.
4. Another possible cause of oil exhausting from the silencers is that air is atomisingthe oil in the reservoirs. If this is the problem a baffle plate or “tee” fitting must befitted to the inside of the oil reservoirs - top and bottom.
The worn area is cut out using a strong sharp knife and the good sections pushedup the mandrel. A retaining collar (see Figure 2) is secured to the mandrel bytightening two grub screws. This collar prevents the sleeves from separating.
The sleeves may appear to be a loose fit but when the retaining collar is pushedagainst sleeve at load end of machine and grub screws are tightened the sleeveswill not move. Ensure that there is no clearance between collar and sleeve.
NOTE: To maximize longevity of mandrel sleeves ensure knife is set approximately 2– 3mm away from OD of sleeve. When operator pulls the cutting handle down theknife should then fractionally penetrate the sleeve.
RED POLYURETHANE 100mm (4”) Sleeve (Expansion Sleeve)
The 4” wide red polyurethane sleeve (see Figure 1) is a new accessory which fits onthe section of the mandrel where the expansion jaws are located. Because it issofter you will find that it expands more evenly and therefore grips the I/D of the tapecore more securely. As there is a lot of wear on this part of the rubber sleeve it mayalso extend the life of the tan coloured rubber sleeve. You can easily replace justthe red section on its own:
Mandrel Sleeve (Tan)JPN154 2048 000These sleeves cover steelmandrel. The sleeves are easyto slide on and remove enablingsmall sections of worn sleeve tobe easily replaced.
Red Polyurethane SleeveJPN153 2048 000Fits on the section of the mandrelwhere the expansion jaws arelocated. Because it is softer thejaws will expand more fully andtherefore grip the I/D of the tape
Retaining CollarJPN154 2048 001Collar is secured to themandrel by tighteningtwo grub screws
• Use plastic hammer and a wide bladed screwdriver or wedge to drive redsleeve towards the right hand end of the mandrel until internal jaws areexposed.
• Wrap adhesive tape around jaws.
• Remove red sleeve.
• Push on new sleeve to hold jaws in position.
• Remove tape and tap sleeve home to correct position.
IMPORTANT NOTE (RED SLEEVE):
Over an extended period the (red) expanding sleeve may develop a bulgeand make it difficult to slide log rolls over the red sleeve. To prevent this werecommend that you occasionally loosen the grub screw in the retaining collar(Fig. 2) and slide the sleeves down the mandrel as show in Fig. 1 to relievethe pressure on the expanding sleeve. Then just move the sleeves back intoposition and slide the retaining collar against the tan sleeve and tighten thegrub screw. Do not push the collar hard against the sleeve, as you will onlycause the problem with the red sleeve to re-occur more quickly.
• Remove old fibre strip with sharp chisel or knife.• Clean the ‘FLAT’ on the mandrel with solvent.• Glue on new fibre strip with 2 pack - 24 hours araldite or similar high strength
adhesive.• Hold in position with PVC - Vinyl tape until dry.• Use emery paper or file to remove excess adhesive.
3.2.4. ROTATING MANDREL - EXPANDING
ALIGNING COUPLING HALVES ON EXPANDING MANDREL
• Turn release grip switch to grip position.• Fit mandrel into machine.• Align pop marks (if fitted) on left hand end of mandrel with pop marks on the
outside face of the chuck.• Locate cap screw in chuck spindle into dimple holes in mandrel and tighten.• Turn grip release switch to release position.• Adjust male half of coupling on threaded rod protruding from mandrel so that the
M6 cap screw joining the two halves of the coupling will fit freely.• Tighten lock nut up to coupling.
4.1 SLITTING TOLERANCESTo achieve tolerances within .1mm or ± 4 thou you need to check the following:
1. Use the smallest diameter knife possible … the bigger the knife diameter themore chance of run-out. Check our knife selection chart for a knife bevel to suitthe width you wish to cut. As an example, you cannot hope to hold tolerancesslitting narrow widths with a knife with a back bevel.
2. Check the knife spindle, knife and backing plate for run-out using a dial indicator,as described below, where accuracy to .1mm (+/- 4 thou) is required.
3. With some products such as film tapes, you can use the knife brake so that theknife is locked and will not turn. By this method you eliminate any possibility ofknife run-out. However, you will need to stop slitting occasionally and rotate theknife so as to prevent a flat spot occurring on one section of the knife-edge.
Other factors that can affect tolerance are the index counter and encoder and in veryrare cases the clutch brake. An encoder problem is usually indicated by significiantvariations in width from roll to roll although the index counter will still read correctly.Always check for any loose wires to the encoder or index counter. A clutch brakeproblem is usually indicated by erratic tolerances displayed on the P1. Whenchecking for a problem with the unit always first check the correct voltage is going tothe clutch brake.
Remember that any burrs on the knife, backing plate, washer and even the lockingnut are enough to prevent tight tolerances being held.
Knives should always be fitted on the machine so that the engraved parallel linesface the mandrel and the engraved word “top” is uppermost. The knife must alwaysbe sharpened on the integrated knife sharpener mounted on the machine. Javelinknives are bevelled at 11º and any alteration to that angle will cause problems. Westrongly advise against sending knives out for sharpening. Even when you receivenew knives from Javelin they must be finally sharpened true on your machine.
Remember also that the mandrel must be aligned properly (see section 6.2 KnifePedestal alignment in this manual) and the fit of the rubber sleeve to the I/D of thecore of your material must be a close fit.
The material must be gripped firmly on the expanding mandrel and up against theface of the chuck so there can be no sideways movement. If you are using a spacerroll between the chuck and material to be cut make sure it has straight edges andthat it is approximately the same diameter as the material to be cut.
When measuring slit rolls with a dial vernier do not allow the jaws of the vernier toclose against the cardboard or plastic core as this can give you a false reading.
If you follow the above points closely you will be able to slit tape to close tolerances.
Place dial indicator on clamping face of knife spindle and rotate spindle slowly,check for run out 0.03 - 0.05 mm (0.001" - 0.002") permissible.
To remove burrs or score marks from spindle face:i) run the spindle at medium speedii) hold a strip of emery cloth on a flat file and place it flat on the spindle face.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO ROUND THE FACE OF THE SPINDLE.
b. CHECKING FOR BACKING PLATE RUNOUT:
The backing plate face should beconcave This can be checked byplacing a straight edge or steel ruleacross the face of the backingplate and checking if a gap of.1mm (.004”) exists.Backing plates that have beendropped onto a hard surface maybe out of specification and willneed to be replaced.
i) Run a smooth flat file across the face of the backing plate and washer toensure there are no burrs.
ii) Check spindle face for burrs or grit.iii) Fit backing plate and washer and check for runout with dial indicator.iv) Runout should not be more than .08mm (.003”). If runout exceeds
tolerance, mark backing plate in 4 positions and one position on spindlewith marking pen.

Check runout in each position. If a position is found which is within tolerancepermanently mark backing plate and spindle. Ensure that the marks are alignedwhenever the backing plate is being placed back on the spindle
NOTE: Checkbacking plate oninside by fittinglarge backingplate/smallbacking plateand nut, thenplacing dialvernier on edgeof backing plateas shown inpicture.
Place dial indicator on knife face and rotate knife. A runout of not more than.08mm (.003”) is permissible.
d. HOW TO TIGHTEN KNIFE SPINDLE BEARINGS:
Tighten loose knife spindle bearings as follows:
• Fit largest diameter knife.• Grasp knife on either side and try to move knife in, out, backwards and
forwards.• If movement is detected in spindle locate knife lock in knife backing plate to
prevent knife spindle from turning.• Remove cover from left-hand end of spindle.• Tighten nylon nut 1/6th of a turn to preload spindle bearings and check knife
again (see Point 3) for movement. Again tighten the nylon nut 1/6th of a turnand continue this process until there is no movement of the knife. This isexactly the same process as tightening the front wheel bearings on a car. Seefollowing note.
• Replace cover and remove knife lock.
Note: It is important not to tighten the nylon nut in one continuous turn of thespanner as this could put excessive load on the bearings and can cause damagewithin the pedestal.
e. PEDESTAL ALIGNMENT
If the knife has been jammed or forced at some time, the knife spindle could be bentor the pedestal could be out of square. The knife should be checked to see that it isparallel to the chuck face.
• Remove the knife guard• Fit large diameter knife• Check the knife and spindle are running true• Remove mandrel• Adjust forward knife stop fully forward• Traverse knife close to chuck• Move knife forward• Measure distance between face of knife and chuck at the front and rear of the
knife• Loosen pedestal retaining screws• Adjust as required to bring both faces parallel
Sideways freeplay in knife carriage. Traverse carriage to left hand end of machine,stand at end of the machine and grasp carriage, try to pull forward and backwards. Ifmovement is felt, adjust taper bearings on ballscrew.
ADJUSTMENT OF BALLSCREW END PLAY
Turn off the machine at main ON / OFF switch on the electrical cabinet, this dis-engaged electrical clutch / brake unit allowing the ballscrew to be rotated.
Remove rear cover to expose ballscrew adjusting nuts. Loosen the two grub screwsin the alloy timing pulley. loosen outer nut and adjust inner locknut to lightly preloadtaper bearings. Tighten outer nut, a grub screw in pulley, check for end play inballscrew, check ballscrew rotates smoothly.
Machines manufactured after December 1993 are fitted with a Warner Electricclutch brake unit which is “self adjusting”.
Machines manufactured up to December 1993 are fitted with a Lenze clutch brakewhich is adjusted as follows:
ADJUSTING THE AIRGAP - LENZE
Value in (P1) should be no greater than 2.2 mm, if so turn power off at main isolatorand adjust airgap in clutch brake. The four screws (1) in the output cover must beloosened until the underlying pressure springs are released (1-2 turns). They mustnot be completely removed.
The small cover in the casing slot has to be removed. You will see a radial hole intowhich you can insert a cylindrical rod and can now rotate the cam ring, the cam ringhas to be rotated to its stop in the arrow direction. There after rotate the ring backapprox. 0.1 mm (0.004"). Retighten the airgap screws rotate clutch brake pulley toensure brake is not binding. If it is increase airgap fractionally. Turn power on andcheck (P1) for over run.

This counter is the same as the roll counter and all the functions are the same asabove.
The input for this counter is 360 pulse/revolution encoder located on the end of theballscrew, this counter has two preset values, preset #2 ‘P2’ which is the indexingdistance and preset #1 ‘P1’ which is the stop signal to the clutch/brake unit. Thisstop signal is a constant time to allow for the de-acceleration of the ballscrew.The counter has the ability to disable programming by connecting the "PGM.DIS"terminal to common and this link has to be removed before attempting to re-programthe counter.
Ensure that the dip. switch setting are as shown below:
SW 1 2 3 4 5* * UP position* * * * * DOWN position
ROLL COUNTER
The counter is set up for a timed output of 2.0 seconds as the counter reaches zero,and is automatically reset to the preset value after the timed output.
KNIFE DWELL TIMER
The Knife Dwell Timer is to ensure there is a timed stage at fully advanced knifeposition. After the timed stage is complete the carriage will retract via the retractsolenoid, called for the Knife Dwell Timer. The timer is to be set at 0-10 seconds.
AUTO GRIND TIMER
The Auto Grind Timer is to ensure that the operation of the Auto Grind Solenoid isonly for a pre-determined time. The timer is to be set at 0-1 minutes.
WIRING
All connections are to be checked for loose connections due to transport vibration.The supply cable for this machine is to be of a size to carry a load of 25 amp.The connection terminals are located towards the bottom left hand corner of themain electrical cabinet.
1. Check carriage motor overload is contacted (refer to motor section).2. In ‘MANUAL’ mode, check that the carriage left and right push buttons are alight.
If not alight, then retract knife until they are. The lamps indicate that all safetyconditions for traversing are intact.
3. Carriage motor contactor operates but carriage fails to traverse. Check that theclutch/brake unit is operating correctly, if clutch/brake is OK then it should bepossible to turn the carriage ballscrew by hand when the brake disengages. If theclutch/brake is satisfactory then check that all motor connections are tight.
4. Carriage motor contact fails to operate, check the following:
• Green start lamp is ON.• PLC is in "RUN" mode.• Safety hood is down, and switch contact is closed.• Mandrel support is raised and indicating lamp is OFF.• Carriage left and right over travel switches are OK.• Safety cage door closed and switch making contact.• Carriage left and right limit switches are OK.• Opposite direction auxiliary contact has been released.
If all these conditions are correct it will mean the carriage motor contactor will needto be replaced.
KNIFE FAILS TO OPERATE
If the knife fails to operate, check that the following conditions have been met:
• Check knife motor overload is intact (refer to overload section).• Green lamp is ON.• Safety hood is down and switch contact is closed.• Mandrel support is raised and indicating lamp is OFF.• In DC version, check that both the fuses on the speed controller are OK.• If invertor is used check power on lamp, and that no fault lamps are on.• If all these conditions are correct it will mean the knife motor contact will need to
be replaced.
KNIFE FAILS TO ADVANCE
• Safety hood is down, and switch contact is closed.• Check that the knife advance limit switch is operating correctly.• Check the knife advance solenoid is operating correctly.
KNIFE FAILS TO RETRACT
• Safety hood is down and switch contact is closed.• Check that the knife retract limit switch is operating correctly.• Check that the knife retract solenoid is operating correctly.
• Check that the index counter is programmed correctly (refer to index countersection).
• Check connection to shaft encoder at ballscrew.• Check connection terminal at the rear of the counter.
GRINDER FAILS TO OPERATE
• Knife must be allowed to start before grinder can operate.• Grinder dwell timer set to zero (refer to cut/grind section).• Carriage traverse lights must be illuminated.•
CARRIAGE FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY RETURN LEFT WHEN RIGHT HANDSTOP IS CONTACTED
• Check that the carriage RETURN selector is in AUTO.• Check that the retract limit switch is OK.• Check that the carriage left limit switch and carriage left proximity switch are
operating correctly.• If over travel proximity switch has sensed carriage will not return.
CHUCK FAILS TO ROTATE
• Check that the hood is down.• Check that the mandrel support is raised.• The pneumatic chuck limit switch is closed.• Check operation of the hood contactor and chuck contactor.• If contactors are operating check condition of the motor.
The supply cable for this machine is to be of a size to carry a load of 25 amp. Thevoltage required is 240/208 volt 3 phase or 415 volt 3 phase. Other voltages can besupplied by a transformer if required.
A supply connection is provided on the terminal strip in the main cabinet. Theterminals can be located by looking for the larger terminals at the left hand end ofthe terminal strip. These terminals are the only spare terminals and the out goingcables are red in colour and are not numbered.
The colour coding of the cables used within the machine is as follows :
COLOUR DESCRIPTIONRed, White, Blue L1, L2, L3 240/208 or 415 voltBlack 240 volt AC neutral (if required)Pink 24 volt DC activeGrey 24 volt DC neutralGreen/Yellow Earth conductor
All wires are to be checked for loose connections due to transport vibration.
Warning: Check rotation of all motors. Incorrect rotation can result in majordamage to this machine and void warranty.
Motor directions are as follows:
Chuck Spindle Motor: With the switch in the forward position, the chuck faceshould turn clockwise.
Grinder Motor: Looking at the grinding wheel, the motor should turn anti-clockwise.
Ballscrew Motor: The left and right push buttons determine the direction of themotor. If the left push button is pressed and the carriagemoves right, the motor needs to be reversed.
Caution: At this point avoid contact between the carriage and the end of themachine. Major damage to the ballscrew can result if motor direction isincorrect.
Knife Motor: Looking at the knife, the knife should turn clockwise.
Check PLC unit has 24 volt DC power and that the unit is in the RUN mode. Theseoperations can be checked by looking at the LED display on the front of the PLCunit.
