AEROCARD STRIKE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the AEROCARD-strike nisher.
This unit is a precision piece of machinery; therefore please read the manual carefully and the machine will give
you trouble free service.
The machine is complex with many functions, therefore we recommend reading the manual several times and do-
ing several dry run setups with re-used paper before trying a real job with new paper.
If you do not fully understand the instructions do not run the machine but call in a qualied technical service per-
son to give you full training
Note that due to our policy of continuous product improvement the information in this manual is subject to change
without prior notice.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The machine requires a ground line, make sure it is connected, the power inlet is protected by a fuse above the
socket.
• The machine uses several cutting blades, these are all covered by guards with interlocks, do not disable the
interlocks.
• The machine uses a low speed suction infeed belt, do not let loose clothing or hair get near the belt.
• The machine uses several outfeed cutting tools on a rotating shaft, these are guarded, do not disable the
guard.
• The electrical cabinet of the machine is covered, do not uncover the cabinet.
• Do not use the machine is direct sunlight as this may affect the sensors.
• Do not use the machine in a very hot / humid environment as the paper will become distorted and not run well,
best operation temp 25 deg c @ 60 % rh.

Preparation of the machine before use
1. Check the voltage and frequency matches your power source before plugging in
The power source needs to be 10 amp and with a ground line.
2. Unbolt the lifting tray support plate ; failure to do so will break the lift motor and invalidate the warranty!
3. Have a technician to t the display ( see instructions for this later in the manual ) you may need to calibrate the
pixels in the screen (see later )
4. Fit the standard accessories as described above.

GENERAL PREPARATION OF THE JOB
Steps
0you select a pre-programmed job from the list on the screen
OR :
1you program in the paper size and weight to be in-fed
2you program in the slits to be made within the template spec
3you program in the cross cuts to be made within the template spec
4you program in the cross creases to be made within the template spec
5you program in the strike perfs to be made within the template spec
THEN:
6As needed you position any further linear tools required on the outfeed tool carrier bar as per the template spec
7You set the air blast according to paper weight; light paper ,almost closed , heavier paper open up the vents
gradually so the top sheet oats
8You set the separator ngers according to the paper thickness, thin paper almost closed , for thicker paper open
up gradually so only the top sheet feeds
9You set the magnetic infeed posts to lightly touch the sides and back of the paper to let is run freely but still be
guided closely, if they are too tight the paper will not feed. The posts are rolled into place to avoid scratching the
table
10 You set the outfeed tray guides to receive the paper without it getting caught by the side guides
Once this is done the paper is ready to be run the first trial sheet

When you start the machine the following will happen in sequence:
- The paper pile will lift to the level of the upper sensor nger which stops it moving further up
As the pile is fed in and used up the tray will index upwards about each 15 fed sheets
- The air suction and blast will start up
- The feeding belt will index the top sheet forward about 6 cm
- The gripper rollers will grasp the sheet and move it to the mark reader and under the double sheet controller
- The double sheet controller will check that only 1 sheet is fed in , if not an error message will appear
- If the mark reader is on the slit heads will adjust to compensate for the mark drift
- The heads 1 to 6 will position according to the program requirement
- The machine will check if the gutter deectors are correctly set for the job , if not it will issue a error message and
they will need to be re-set
- The sheet will advance forwards into the slitters and be slit into several strips
- The strips will advance forwards into the cross cutter and be cut into several cards
- The cards will advance into the cross creasing or perng tool and be creased or perfed accordingly
- The cards will advance into the strike perf heads and will be intermittently perfed accordingly
- If other linear tools are used they will also re- work the cards
- The cards will be expelled into the outfeed tray or conveyor
ACCURACY OF THE MACHINE
The design accuracy of the machine is +- 0.2 mm cumulative
The machine is only as accurate as the paper that is put in the tray, it will not recuperate for correct poorly cut
paper.
VERY IMPORTANT
The paper has to be :
- Cut straight, or it will skew
- Cut parallel, or it may not feed and will wobble on infeed
- Cut square at least on the front edge, or the rst cut will be erratic
- Cut cleanly eg not hooked or rough edges, or the paper may not feed or pull in double sheets
- The paper is not wavy or distorted, or it will feed poorly
- The paper is not curled, or it will not feed correctly

Once all is double checked the machine can be turned ON
Understanding how the machine cuts to get a good result
To get the machine to work correctly you rst need to understand the cutting operation / measurements and set-
tings.
Definition of the cutting process
- The uncut sheet
The machine calculates and works from a unique reference point which is the back edge left side corner of the
paper
Known as the origin 0/0, all other things are referenced to this point.
- There are 2 cut axis
X direction means length-ways positioned cross cuts or cross creases or strike perfs
Y direction means cross positioned slits
- Mark reader
There is a mark reader that will re calculate the cut positions according to the movement or drift of the printed mark
as compared to the origin point in both axis.
If the mark is not positioned and printed correctly the cut positions will be incorrect.
- Laying out the cuts
If you want to layout a sheet and then cut it accurately you need to know certain reference points as compared to
the origin see the template.
In the X direction from left to right in order
- The total sheet length
- The lead edge rst cut
- The card length
- The gutter cut length between cards , if required
- The nr of repeat card cuts that need to be made
- The remaining trailing edge trim cut
All the amounts have to be within the template spec and add up exactly to the full length of the sheet
The length of the sheet = lead trim + (card length x n) + (gutter cuts x n) + tail edge trim.
In the Y direction from back to front in order
- The total sheet width
- The rear bleed trim
- The card width
- The gutter width
- The total nr of cards and gutters required (usually max 3 rows but can be up to 4 rows if no gutter slits required)
- The side trim bleed width
Note side trims are always deflected to the waste bin unless the heads are set at home position
Sheet width = front and back side trims + (card width x n) + (gutter strips x n)
Math
It sounds obvious but the numbers need to add up....
A precision steel rule with 0.5 mm increments is a must to set these jobs.
