Operation / Functionality of the Display

EasyMode (XT Models)

EasyMode is a streamlined programming mode for setting up programs on XT PowerMonitor (Option) EasyMode
machines.
EasyMode allows to show all of the pictographs of the programmable additional
functions in the Data Menu program in order to ensure an efficient program
generation. The feature is described in detail under "Additional functions", on
page K5C - 10.

PowerMonitor (Optional on XT with OptiKnife feature)

The PowerMonitor feature checks the load which the machine is bearing under
a cut.
The degree of loading is represented graphically, in the form of a colored dyna-
mic load display in the program header of the Program Data menu. The loading
display is divided into three loading zones, shown in the colors: green, yellow and
red.

The green area indicates a normal load onto the machine during the cut.

Yellow means that the load onto the machine is increased, but still within a
tolerable range.

Red means that the machine is put under a high load.


In this case, you should immediately examine the origin of this load, in order to
prevent the machine from being damaged.
Check in particular the following items in order to find the cause of the problem:

Possible cause Remedy

Type of material being cut Check the type of material being cut; if
necessary, contact the Polar Service Dept.
Feeding height Reduce the feeding height
Feeding width Reduce the feeding width
Blunt knife Change the knife

Operation / Functionality of the Display

CountMonitor (Optional on X and XT Models)

The CountMonitor is a modified kind of progress control or performance measu-


rement and serves to determine the number of sheets or feeding height of the
material being cut. The relevant values are determined by the pressure clamp.
The feature is described in detail in the "Auxiliary functions" menu, page K5F - 8.

* Also refer to "Press Material" (Fix clamp), page K5B - 38

Important notes for the use of false clamp plates


When using false clamp plates of different widths for the pressure clamp, please
observe that the clamping pressure must always be adjusted to the conditions
mentioned below, in order to prevent any negative effects to the cutting quality. 6.1

The clamping pressure depends on

- the type of material being cut, Flexible False Clamp Plate (Optional Equipment)
- the width of the material,
- the feed depth of the material, Flexible false clamp plate compensates uneven stock and supplies even pres-
and sure across the whole pile.
- the width of the false clamp plate being used. (Mounting/removing - see regular false clamp plate)

Consequently, the pressure must be determined in practice.

Caution! Please note!


An excessive clamping pressure with regard to the above mentioned
conditions may result in considerable damages to the knife, especially
when dealing with carbide-tipped knives. In extreme cases, there is a risk
that the clamp and the knife will collide. Parts chipping off the knife may
severely injure the operating staff!

EasyMode is a streamlined programming mode for setting up programs on XT


machines.
EasyMode allows to show all of the pictographs of the programmable additional
functions in the Data Menu program in order to ensure an efficient program E
generation. The numerical keypad is automatically shown on the display, so the
user can directly input the measurements. EasyMode reduces the program
generation time, because there is no longer any need to press function keys and
subsequently select the individual functions from the card index boxes.
Moreover, you can mask out any additional functions which are not being used.
External additional functions are only displayed if they have been saved under a
designation.
However, it is still possible to select additional functions via the function keys and
card index boxes.

EasyMode also includes the “Help” (X) touch key as a tool tip.
Once it has been selected, you can touch a pictograph and get the explanation of
the additional function in an information window above the pictograph. This
means, you can choose a function without even knowing the pictograph. E4

TwinClamp (optional equipment)

The POLAR TwinClamp is used when there are substantial height differences TwinClamp
within one ream. Such variations are caused by varying inking, perforations or (resting position)
embossing (for example when dealing with bank notes). With increasing cutting
tolerances, the operator often has to cut with a reduced ream height which lowers
the cutting efficiency. The optional TwinClamp has been conceived for compen-
sating such height differences and increasing the ream height.

Benefit of TwinClamp:
- TwinClamp compensates height variations of materials in one and the same
ream.
- Increased ream height
- Improved cutting quality by more constant clamping
- No loss of quality when higher loads are processed
- Substantial reduction of manual intervention when cutting a ream
TwinClamp
The TwinClamp option includes the following parts: (active)

1. Hold-down clamp at the backgauge rake


The hold-down clamp at the backgauge rake is furnished with a special
rubber layer on the underside, which compensates different heights. In
order to allow the backgauge to move under the clamp when minor meas-
ures are processed, the hold-down clamp can be swiveled out by program-
ming (resting position). The clamping pressure of the hold-down clamp is
infinitely variable up to 6 bar (approx. 60 kg).

2. Special profile false clamp plate


The special profile false clamp plate is also provided with a 10-mm special
rubber layer on the underside. Therefore, it balances height variations and
improves the cutting quality by an even clamping process. Note: when a Pressure regu-
profile false clamp is used the opening is reduced to a max. 105 mm lating valve
(without profile false clamp plate: 130mm).

3. Wider pressure clamp


A wider pressure clamp helps to expand the area to be clamped and helps
to improve the cutting quality.

4. Extended backgauge rake
Because of the wider pressure clamp, the backgauge rake has been
extended by 50 mm. This allows to push the last label onto the front table.
However, the feed depth is decreased by these 50 mm.

POLAR stack lifts ensure that the material can always be taken from pallets or
stacked on pallets at the operator’s normal working height. The lifts are con-
nected to the hydraulic system of the cutting machine.

POLAR stack lifts are supplied with a semi-automatic height adjustment system.
Once a ream of cutting material has been taken off the stack, the lift is automati-
cally adjusted so that the upper edge of the pile is precisely at the working height
at the touch of a key.
When the lift is being loaded, it can always be lowered via pushbutton. In this
way, the upper edges of the pile are again adjusted to the operator’s working
height.

Autotrim 80 (option)

Autotrim 80 = max. width of waste: 80 mm*

Cuttings from outside trim and intermediate cuts can be automatically disposed of
by means of POLAR AUTOTRIM 80.

The front table of the Autotrim 80 cutter can be opened and the cuttings are
dropped into a bin or the customer’s waste removal system.
When the table is opened a flap moves up which serves as a gauge for the labels
already cut and prevents the waste from being pushed onto the front table.

Frictional electricity makes some waste paper stick to the knife. Autotrim 80 is
fitted with a device for removing such cuttings. Autotrim 80 is fitted with an
integrated blowing facility to remove the cutting strips from the knife.

The wide opening of the table has the labels transported so far onto the front
table that their removal - to the right or left side - can also be done automatically
by a pusher.

To collect products or labels which have already been cut, you can place a
support plate on the front table. Then lower the table by the size of the support
(max. 4 mm) by pressing the key. These (lowering and lifting) functions are
programmable, too!
During the cutting process, the support plate is automatically fixed on the front
table by partial vacuum. The unit can be changed over automatically from blown
air to suction air.

During any opening / closing process of the Autotrim front table the light barrier
of the machine ensures a safe operation! Whenever the light barrier is obstructed
while the front table is opened or closed, the function will be stopped immediately.

The material or labels that have been cut can be collected on a support plate* on
the front table. To level the height of this plate the Autotrim front table can be
lowered by the thickness of this support plate by pressing key „lower table“ (max.
4 mm).
These functions (lowering and lifting) can be programmed!
During the cutting process the support plate is firmly held to the front table by a
vacuum. Changeover from blowing to suction air is done automatically.
When thinner support plates are used the lowering level of the front table can be
corrected in the following way:

Beneath the Autotrim front table:

1. Deaerate lifting cylinder (13)


2. Deaerate lowering cylinder (12)
3. Loosen counternut (16)
4. Turn adjusting nut (17) until table is at proper lowering level
