2.0 OPERATION

If more than 35 cut values are needed, 2 channels canbe linked together into one job providing up to 70 cutvalues. This is done automatically when a job is at 35cuts and an attempt is made to add another value. Atthis point, a screen is displayed asking: do you want tolink to the next channel? Use the up or down arrow keyto select yes or no. If no is selected, the last cut will bediscarded and the new value will be inserted. If yes isselected, the last cut will be pushed into the first valueof the next channel, although it will be displayed asvalue 36 of the current channel. If the next channel islocked, linking will not be allowed. NOTE: If the nextchannel is not locked, but contains data, the old dataWILL BE LOST. After 2 jobs have been linked, the linkedjob will be displayed as “^^^^^^^^” and will be locked.

To unlink a job, use the up or down arrow key to point tothe linked job name and press soft-key “C” (Erase).

When finished entering send values you may exit thecurrent job by pressing soft-key “B” (Job) to go back tothe job mode screen or soft-key “D” (Exit) to exit tosend mode. Or you may use the current job for cuttingby pressing the down arrow at the last line andfollowing the instructions in the Running a Job section2.13.6.

2.13.5 Editing an Existing Job

2.13.5.1 Editing the Job Name

The job name can be edited (or added if an existingjob does not have a name) in the job mode screen. Toedit the name, move the cursor down to the desiredjob number by pressing the down arrow key. Thenpress the right arrow key to move the cursor to thedesired character position and edit the character bypressing the up or down arrow keys to toggle betweencharacters of the alphabet. Numbers can be entereddirectly by using the number keys. Pressing CLEARclears the current character. When finished, you mayeither go to the current job by pressing ENTER, or goto a different job, or exit job mode.

2.13.5.2 Editing Send Values

To edit send values of an existing job, start by openingthe desired job from the job mode screen. A job isopened by one of two methods: pointing at the desiredjob with the cursor and pressing ENTER, or by enteringthe job number with the keypad and pressing ENTER.Once a job has been opened, the current job numberwill be displayed in the upper right corner. Note: If thejob is locked, it cannot be edited.

Send values can now be edited by moving the cursor upor down to the desired send value and then typing over

the existing value.

When finished editing the job, you may exit the currentjob by pressing soft-key “B” (Job) to go back to the jobmode screen or soft-key “D” (Exit) to exit to send mode.Or you may use the job for cutting since it is alreadyopen.

2.13.5.3 Inserting Send Values

To insert a send value, press the soft-key “A” (Insert).This moves all send values down and provides a blankline after the current send value. If more than 35 sendvalues are needed, the job can be linked (see ChannelLinking under Creating a New Job, section 2.13.4.3).

2.13.5.4 Erasing Send Values

To erase a send value, press the soft-key “C” (Erase).This will remove the cut value currently being pointed toby the cursor. To backspace over the current sendvalue without removing the line, press the left arrow key.

2.13.6 Running a Programmed Job

To use an existing job for cutting, you must first open itby using one of two methods: move the cursor to thedesired job with the arrow keys and press ENTER, orenter the job number with the keypad and pressENTER. Once a job has been opened, the current jobnumber will be displayed in the upper right corner. Nowpress SEND to move the backgauge to the firstprogrammed position (or send value). Close the frontguard and make a cut. Once the cut is made, thebackgauge will automatically push out the paper (if“push-out” is enabled) and move to the nextprogrammed position. After the last cut in the job ismade, the backgauge will move to the first cut positionof the current job. Pressing SEND at any time duringthe job will send the backgauge to its next programmedposition without making a cut. A plus “+” sign will bedisplayed at the bottom of the screen if more cutsremain in the current job.

2.13.7 Exiting a Job

2.15 OPERATING TIPS

Carefully lay out each sheet before you start cutting.Find the best cut pattern to give you the most piecesout of the sheet. If the sheet will be folded, be suregrain of the paper is running in the same direction asthe fold or you will get a rough edge on the fold.

If an accurate cut is necessary for close register work,you MUST have a sharp blade in the cutter. A dullblade will pull or draw the paper and cause unevencutting. Increased clamp pressure will not eliminatedraw caused by a dull knife.

The correct clamping pressure varies from paper topaper. The general rule is that you should have enoughpressure to hold the paper securely but not so muchthat it marks the surface of the paper excessively.Excessive pressure causes pile distortion andinaccurate cuts.

Mark the gripper edge and the guide edge of printedpaper and make sure the first cuts are with these guideedges against the backgauge.

Measure printed paper to check for shrinkage orexpansion of the paper from humidity. You may have todisregard the printed cut lines and make your own.

When cutting buisness cards or narrow strips of paper,place lifts of equal height on opposite sides of the tableto prevent wear of the clamp guides.

2.16 NOTE TO DEALER

2.16.1 Entering the Dealer Name and PhoneNumber

To enter or change the dealer name and phone numberthat will be displayed when the lubrication alarm isdisplayed and when the upgrade screen is displayed,you must first enter the “Dealer Mode” screen.

3.0 KNIFE INSTALLATION/CHANGING

The knife changing equipment shown in fig. 3-1 isincluded in the cutter tool kit. The following instructionsshow how to remove and install a new or resharpenedknife. Read through these instructions AT LEASTONCE before attempting to actually change or installany blades.

3.1 KNIFE REMOVAL

1. Make sure the knife and clamp are in the “up”position. Turn the main power switch to the “OFF”position and disconnect the machine power cordto prevent accidental power-up while servicing thecutter.

2. Back off the knife adjusting screws on top of theknife bar several turns (fig. 3-2). A new knife willcut deeper than one that has been ground severaltimes. Failure to back off the screws could damagethe knife and/or the cutting stick.

3. Remove the knife bolts from the two slotted knifebar holes and replace with the knife lifters (fig. 3-3). Tighten the lifters to hold the knife in place,then remove the remaining knife bolts.

4. Clear the table surfaces and place the empty knifescabbard on the table. Remove the scabbard’s kniferetaining screws.

5. Grasp the knife lifters firmly and, at the same time,turn them counterclockwise to release the knife fromthe knife bar (fig. 3-4). Lower the left end first,then lower the right end as you shift the knifesideways to the left. Bring the right end of the knifearound the knife bar guide frame. Maneuver theright end into the space between the guide frameand the shroud as the left end is brought clear ofthe left guide frame. Move the knife to the rightthen bring the knife out of the cutter, left end first.Put the blade in the scabbard immediately andsecure the knife retainer screws.

1. Make sure the knife and clamp are in the up position.If they are not, turn on the power using the red andyellow main power switch, close the front guard,and press the CLEAR button. This will preset thebackgauge and send the knife and clamp up.

2. Turn off the machine and unplug the power cord.

3. Pull out the cutting stick using the cut stick removaltool and turn it to a new surface. If the cutting stickis not level or flush with the table, 1/2” strips ofpaper can be placed in the table slot under thecutting stick to shim it.

4. Remove the left retainer screw from the new bladeand screw the knife lifters into the new blade. Screwthe lifters all the way in and then back them out 3/4 turn).

5. Remove the other scabbard retainer screw.

6. Double check to make sure the knife adjustingscrews have been backed out all the way (step #2,Knife removal). Lift the blade and insert it into theknife bar slot. Guide the blade, right edge first, intothe space between the shroud and the knife barguide frames. Tip to clear the table side guides,then move the left end of the blade into the knife barslot dropping the left end as the right end is brought

around the right knife bar guide frame and up intothe knife bar slot. Raise the knife into the knife barslot as high as it will go and tighten the lifters.

NOTE: If the blade will not go in, either the lifters arescrewed into the blade too far, or the end of the blade ishitting the cylinder bracket at the right end of the knifeslot. In this case, drop the left end when inserting theknife.

7. Insert the knife bolts with washers and snug to holdthe knife, but don’t tighten them yet.

8. Remove the knife lifters one at a time and replacewith bolts and washers.

9. Place a few sheets of paper over the cut stick,covering the stick end-to-end.

10. Plug in the power cord and turn the power on.

11. Go to the MAINTENANCE screen and chooseKNIFE ADJUST. Choose KNIFE DOWN, close theguard, and press the cut button to send the knife tothe down position (for more details on how to dothis, see section 2.12.1).

12. Turn the power off and disconnect the machine powercord.

13. Turn the knife adjusters down evenly, a little at atime, until the knife cuts through the bottom sheetof paper the entire length of the cutting stick (fig. 3-5). Turning the screws down evenly prevents unevenwear on the knife and cutting stick.

14. Plug in the power cord and turn the power on.

15. Close the front guard and press CLEAR. This willraise the knife and clamp to the up position.

NOTE: If the knife ends cut but themiddle doesn’t, you could have dips or uneven spotsin the knife and/or cutting stick. These can beeliminated by placing 1/2” strips of paper in the tableslot beneath the cutting stick to shim it.

19. Send the dull knife to a knife grinder. Do not attemptto sharpen your own knives! See the Knife Tipssection 3.3 to determine the knife bevel angle.

3.3 KNIFE CARE TIPS

3.3.1 Knife Blade Life

Knife blade life, or the time between sharpenings, canbe affected by many factors. One important factor isthe type of paper being cut. Abrasive paper, such asrecycled paper, soft paper such as newsprint paper, andbound books can all significantly shorten knife bladelife. Also, if the knife depth is set too deep, the knife willcut too deep into the cutting stick and can dull the knifeblade.

A knife can last anywhere between 2,000 and 5,000cuts before it needs to be sharpened. Cutting soft paper(such as newsprint paper) or paper with high post-consumer recycled content can cause the knife to needsharpening after only 2,000 to 3,000 cuts. Cutting purepaper, such as bond paper with no recycled content, orhard paper can allow the knife to be used for as manyas 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened. In allcases, the operator should continually check the qualityof the cut to determine when the knife blade needs to

be sharpened. Some characteristics that indicate ablade needs sharpening are:

• The knife hesitates or stalls while making a cut.

• The sheets are not all cut to the same length (usuallythe top few sheets are longer than the rest of thesheets - this is sometimes called “draw”).

• Cut marks appear on the cut face of the paper.

• The profile of the cut (side view) is not perpendicularto the table.

• The cut does not appear straight when viewed fromthe top.

• The knife makes a “rougher” sound as it passesthrough paper.

• Nicks are visible on the cutting edge of the knife.

3.3.2 Cutting Stick

A worn cutting stick can affect the cut quality of thebottom sheets. When this happens, the cut stick canbe rotated. Usually, the stick should be rotated one ortwo times between knife sharpenings.

There are 8 possible cut stick positions. The stick canbe rotated 4 times, then turned end to end, and rotated4 times again.

3.3.3 Bevel Angle

Challenge recommends that bevel angles for the Titan200 knives be in the range of 21° to 23°. In general, a21° bevel angle will provide a better cut quality whencutting soft paper (such as newsprint), recycled paper,or bound books. However, 21° angle knives can becomedull sooner than 23° knives, which results in shorterknife blade life. A knife with a 23° bevel angle, on theother hand, will not dull as easily, and can providesatisfactory results when cutting most types of paper.Knives shipped with the Titan 200 from the factory havea bevel angle of 23°.

3.3.4 Helpful Suggestions

• If your shop is large enough to purchase more thanone set of knives, have one set beveled at 21° andthe other at 23°. Note: A set consists of 3 knives:one in the machine, one as a back up, and one atthe grinder.

• If the machine seems to strain but the cut quality isstill good, reduce the pile height. You may also

CAUTION: ! KNIFE SAFETY ! Knivesare DANGEROUS!!! They are heavyand very sharp, even after use. Keep

the edge away from your body and keep thearea clear of others when handling knives.Never touch the cutting edge! To preventpersonal injury and damage to the knife,always keep knives in their holders with screwstightened. You are aware of the dangers, butothers may not be. Never attempt to hone,polish, or service the knife in any way. Failureto follow safety procedures may result in severelacerations or dismemberment.

carefully apply glycerin to the bevel when cuttinghard, coated paper. Tie a cloth to the end of astick; dip the stick in glycerin, and apply. Neverapply by hand! In lieu of glycerin you may lightlyrub white bar soap along the bevel. Lubrication willprolong the life of your machine and reducemaintenance.

3.3.5 Knife Care

• To prevent corrosion, knives are coated with lightoil. It should be REMOVED WITH CARE.

• While removing or installing a knife, be careful notto allow the edge to bump against the machine.Nicks will result.

• If a knife bolt is damaged, replace it.

• Always keep knife bolts securely tightened.

• Always use the heavy duty knife bolt washersprovided by Challenge. Failure to do so could resultin scratching or marring of the clamp face.

• Store knives in a dry environment to preventcorrosion.

• Never attempt to service a knife in any way.

PRECAUTIONS, for Power Lockout Procedure.

4.4.1 Weekly

Clean — Clean off old, dirty excess grease. Removethe front panel cover and clean accumulated dust offvalves, hoses and connections. Built-up dust increasesoperating temperatures which causes premature wearto all hydraulic components.

Hardware — Remove front panel cover, rear panelcover, and top hood to check all nuts and bolts fortightness. Loose hardware is the cause of mostcomponent wear and in the electrical area could causeshort circuits and/or shock.

Hydraulic Fluid — Low fluid level causes excessiveheat and wear on the system. Check the fluid level asdescribed in section 4.5 below.

4.5 CHECKING/CHANGING THEHYDRAULIC FLUID

The hydraulic fluid level should be checked weekly.To check, remove the lower rear cover and unscrewthe cap on top of the tank (fig. 4-1). Fluid level shouldbe at 1/8” from the end of the dip stick (check with dipstick cap screwed in). Add fluid if neccessary but avoidoverfilling as this could cause leakage when hot.Replace the rear panel when finished.

The hydraulic fluid should be changed AT LEASTONCE-A-YEAR or after every 1,000 hours of operation.NOTE: Failure to change oil when needed can damageseals in the cylinders, pump, and valves.

Empty the hydraulic tank and refill with 1 gallon ofInternational Standards Organization Viscosity Grade100 (ISO VG 100) rust, oxidation, and foam inhibitinghydraulic fluid (Challenge part no. S-1991).

NOTE: NEVER use automatic transmission fluid orbrake fluid as a substitute for the correct hydraulic fluid.A table of various manufacturers and their equivalentsis listed below.

4.7 ADJUSTMENTS

4.7.1 Backgauge Gib Adjustments

If the backgauge does not stay squared or jumps upand down when jogging paper against it, the backgaugegib screws are probably loose or worn.

To Adjust:

1. Send the backgauge near the rear of the table.

2. Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

3. Remove the leadscrew cover under the table.

4. Loosen the two side gib screws and the bottomnylon guide screws (fig. 4-10).

5. Tighten the bottom, nylon guide screws until theyjust touch the guide. Do not overtighten or theycould cause the backgauge to bind.

6. Similarly, turn the side gib screws in until they justtouch the guide. Lock in position with the jam nuts.

7. Run the backgauge back and forth the length ofthe table using the backgauge glide control. Checkfor any binding. Readjust if necessary.

NOTE: The screws should be tightened to hold thebackgauge square against the guide rail. Excessivetightening will cause the backgauge to bind and causepremature wear of all components.

4.7.2 Squaring the Backgauge

To test if the backgauge is square, place a small lift ofpaper against the left side of the backgauge (but notagainst the side guide) and make a cut. Now, leavethe backgauge in the same position, flip the lift overand push it against the right side of the backgauge(but not against the side guide). Make another cut tosee if any of the paper will trim off. Run two checks,one starting on the left and moving to the right. Theother, moving from the right to the left. If paper istrimmed in either sequence, the backgauge is out ofsquare.

1. Make sure the backgauge gibs are set properly(see section 4.7.1).

NOTE: Gib adjustments are not necessary on initialmachine setup as gibs have been adjusted at thefactory.

2. Remove the rear plexiglass table cover.

3. Loosen the two backgauge screws (fig. 4-12).

4. Place a 90° square or triangle against thebackgauge and left side guide. Square the

Gib Screws

CAUTION: Several of the followingtests require the machine to be opera-tional for checking and adjusting. Be

very careful that tools and other people are clearof moving parts and that the cutter is not acci-dentally operated while adjustments are beingmade. Whenever working on the machine, dis-connect the power and lock it out (see SAFETYPRECAUTIONS, page viii) unless the directionsspecifically require the machine to be powered.

Note: Once the backgauge is square, restore powerto the machine and check the backgauge accuracy (seesection 2.12.2.4) to make sure it is accurate.

4.7.3 Proximity Switches

Proximity switches are used to inform the computer ofthe up and down positions of the knife and clamp. Theydo not determine the stopping positions of the knifeand clamp, and therefore rarely need to be adjusted.However, if a proximity switch is not sensing the knifeor clamp position correctly, it may need adjustment.

To check if the four proximity switches are sensingcorrectly, go to Maintenance Mode and selectDiagnostic. Then select Sensor Data, and a list ofabbreviations for several inputs and outputs will belisted, along with their status (0 for open, 1 for closed).The four proximity switches should have the followingstatus during the various knife and clamp positions:

Knife Up Knife Up Knife Up Clamp Down Clamp Down Knife DownClamp Up (Manually) (Hydraulically) Clamp Down

Knfdwn 1 1 1 0Clampup 1 0 0 0Knfup 1 1 1 0Hydup 1 1 0 0

If any of the four proximity switches has a status of 0when it should be 1, adjust the switch as describedbelow.

Knife Down Proximity Switch (Knfdwn)

Make sure the clamp and knife are in the up position.Turn the power switch off and disconnect the powercord. Open the front guard and the top hood.

4.7.4 Hydraulic Valve Adjustments

Note: When adjusting valves, first loosen the jam nutaround the stem, then use a hex allen wrench to turnthe stem clockwise to increase pressure, orcounterclockwise to decrease pressure.

4.7.4.1 Pressure Settings:

1. Main System Relief Pressure — 1,400 psi.2. Knife Down Sequence Pressure — 900 psi.3. Clamp/Knife up Sequence Pressure — 600 psi.4. Clamp Pressure Reducer — 400-800 psi.

4.7.4.2 Adjustment Procedure:

1. Remove the lower front cover panel.

2. Loosen the locknut and turn the clamp pressurereducer valve (item 4, fig. 4-17) all the way in(clockwise). (Note: If your machine is equippedwith the optional electronic clamp control valve, youwill have to enter the Maintenence Mode and choseKnife Adjust, Knife Down. This will close theelectronic valve allowing you to read the Main Sys.and Knife Down pressures.)

3. MAIN SYSTEM RELIEF PRESSURE: Make a cutand read the pressure on the gauge when the knifeis bottomed on the table. Adjust the main systemrelief valve (item 1, fig. 4-17) if necessary to obtaina 1,400 psi reading.

4. KNIFE SEQUENCE PRESSURE: Begin a cut cycleand read the pressure from the gauge as the knifeis traveling down (after the clamp reaches the table).The pressure should read 900 psi. If necessary,

adjust the knife sequence valve (item 2, fig. 4-17) toobtain the proper reading.

5. CLAMP/KNIFE UP SEQUENCE PRESSURE:Activate a cut cycle and read the pressure after theknife has returned up and while the clamp is movingup. The pressure should read approximately 600psi. If necessary, adjust the clamp up sequencevalve (item 3, fig. 4-17) to obtain this pressure. If,during a cut cycle, the clamp will not stay downuntil after the knife returns completely to the upposition, re-adjust the clamp up sequence valve untilthis happens.

6. CLAMP PRESSURE: Adjust the clamp pressurereducer (item 4, fig. 4-17) to the desired setting. Itis factory preset at 800 psi. Read the gauge withthe clamp down and as the knife begins to movedown.

Note: When cutting pressure sensitive paper, you maywant to reduce the clamping pressure (400 psiminimum) to prevent marking the paper.

4.7.4.3 Optional Electronic Clamp Pressure ControlAdjustment

The electronic clamping control option allows theconvenience of changing the clamp pressure at thecontrol console. The pressure is controlled by use ofthe up and down arrow keys, 0 being the lowest - 15the highest; and is indicated in the upper right handcorner of the display.

Note: To turn the electronic clamp control option on oroff, enter the Maintenance Mode and choose Diagnostic.Then choose Electric Clamp and select “ON” or “OFF”.

To adjust the actual clamp pressure maximum andminimum, first make sure the Electric Clamp option isset to “ON” (see above paragraph). Enter theMaintenance Mode and choose Diagnostic. Then

choose Clamp Adjust, and the following screen shouldbe displayed:

HYDRAULIC SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONNOTE: PLEASE SEE THE SECTION ON ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR MORE DETAILS

HYDRAULIC SEQUENCE OF OPERATION HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC REFERENCESDRAWING NUMBER: HH-476-1

A. Pump relay is energized providing power to thehydraulic motor.

B. Energize the CUT Solenoid.(Knife and Clamp are sent down).

C. De-energize the CUT Solenoid.(Knife and Clamp are sent up).

The hydraulic motor is first run with the CUT solenoid(Item #5) de-energized so that both the clamp and knifewill be in the extreme up position. When the electronicssense that both the clamp and knife are up and theknife latch is pulled in, the CUT solenoid (Item #5) willbe energized.

When the CUT solenoid (Item #5) is energized, oil willflow freely to the knife down (KD) cylinder port and throughthe pressure reducing valve (Item #4) to the clamp downcylinder port (CD). Since oil is restricted by the knifesequence valve (Item #3) and blocked by a check valve(Item #2), the knife will stay up, and the clamp will startdown. When the clamp stops downward motion, thesystem pressure will rise. Pressure in the clamp downline will level off to the setting of the pressure reducingvalve (Item #4). The system pressure will continue torise until the knife sequence pressure valve (Item #3)opens allowing the knife to come down. The knife willcontinue down until the cylinder reaches the extreme ofits travel. System pressure will increase until the mainsystem relief valve trips (Item #11). At this time, theelectronics will sense that the knife is down, and de-energize the CUT solenoid.

With the CUT solenoid de-energized, oil flow is directedto the knife up cylinder port (KU) and the clamp upcylinder port (CU). Since the clamp down port (CD) isblocked by a check valve (Item #2) and the clamp upsequence valve (Item #1), the clamp will stay down whilethe knife goes up. When the knife reaches the upextreme, system pressure builds until the clamp upsequence valve (Item #1) opens and allows the clampto go up. System pressure will increase until the mainsystem relief valve trips (Item #11). At this time, theelectronics will sense that the knife and clamp are up,and de-energize the pump relay (M).

ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONNOTE: PLEASE SEE THE SECTION ON HYDRAULIC SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR MORE DETAILS

ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC REFERENCESSCHEMATIC DRAWING NUMBER: E-2771-1(MSL = MACHINE SCHEMATIC LOCATION)

A. Turn Main Disconnect switch to “on” position(MSL=1O).

B. Press CLEAR key on the keyboard to direct thebackgauge forward through the presetter.

C. Backgauge control via keyboard.

D. Make a cut by closing the guard and pressing thecut button.

If fuses F3 and F4 are conductive, power is brought tothe main control board (EE-2807 MSL=27R,4AH). Theline lights (MSL=10K, 12K) will illuminate. Power isalso brought to the circuit board. Fuse F1 and F2(MSL=15R, 16Q) are located on the main control boardin the power panel. If fuse F2 is conductive, power willbe supplied to the logic on the board. If the logic isfunctioning, the operator’s console display will illuminate.If fuse F1 is conductive, power will be supplied forbackgauge movement.

To coordinate the console display with the actualbackgauge position, the backgauge must be broughtforward through the presetter. When the backgaugeposition reaches approximately five inches, thepresetter, (MSL=25L) located beneath the table, isactuated. The display will then count up and downfrom this point as signals are received from theincremental encoder (MSL=27L). For generalbackgauge information see C below.

The backgauge control (MSL=20AQ) on the keyboardis used to manually control the backgauge position.The speed of the backgauge motor will depend uponwhere the actuator is pressed. The backgauge controlacts as a potentiometer which controls the voltage thatis sent to the backgauge motor. If the backgauge motorfails to move, the following should be checked: TheCLAMP UP prox (IN 2, MSL=19Y), the HYD UP prox(IN 3, MSL=21Y), and the KNIFE UP prox (IN 4,MSL=22Y) should all be on.

When the front guard is closed, contacts for the left (A,MSL=17X) and right (B, MSL=18X) safety interlocksclose. The CUT BUTTON light (MSL=17K) will light up,indicating that the machine is ready to cut. When theCUT button is pressed, the hydraulic motor relay (PUMPRELAY, MSL=18K) will energize, and power will bebrought to the hydraulic motor. The KNIFE LATCHsolenoid (MSL=16K) will energize and the knife latchwill pull in. CUT solenoid A (MSL=20K) will energize,and the machine will make a cut. When the knifereaches the down position, the KNIFE DOWN prox (IN9, MSL=26Y) will open, which, after a slight time delay,causes the logic to de-energize the CUT solenoid,bringing the knife and clamp to the up position. Whenthe clamp reaches the up position, the HYD UP prox(IN 3, MSL=21Y) will close, which causes the logic tode-energize the hydraulic motor relay, and the hydraulicmotor will stop.
