3. PLATE DATA

4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic cutting unit model FP 100 which can be

assembled on automatic machines (e.g. spreaders, computerized cutting) by means of a

proper bracket. Thanks to the use of a front point of reference and of an effective cutting

system with a hexagonal blade it is possible to use the cutting unit to cut different materials.

In particular the cutting unit has been planned to cut difficult materials such as moquettes,

polymeric materials, fiber glass, insulations and leather (even hide). One special feature of

cutting unit FP 100 is its ability to sharpen the blade in each moment without disassembling

it by means of a sharpener mounted on the cutting unit head. After carrying out this

operation, it is possible to start cutting again. The pneumatic cutting unit is provided with a

threaded connection suitable for most of the air pipelines. The turbine, perfectly balanced,

with a high number of revolutions and totally free of maintenance, reduces vibrations and

noise to the minimum. The cutting unit can be used also to cut damp or wet materials;

therefore it is recommended in tanneries, dyeworks, etc. The use of compressed air as

source of energy allows working continuously without problems of heating or motor overload.

The mechanical parts are made up of high quality steel, bronze and aluminium and require a

lubrication after many working hours.

Device components

Cutting unit FP 100 has been designed, manufactured and assembled to cut any kind of

fabrics or materials, with the exception of metal, plastic or wood, by means of rotary blades.

This equipment must not work:

mentioned ones.

6. NOISE LEVEL

5. TECHNICAL FEATURES

This technical data is only indicative and may be subject to change without notice.

The maximum acoustic pressure level emitted by cutting unit FP 100 is about 60dB (A).

Noise tests have been carried out in compliance with Standard UNI EN ISO 11202. The

device noise levels, measured at different distances (without any sound wave filtering system),

vary in the extent of few db (A).

The noise level has been detected with the silencer supplied with the fixture assembled on

the exhaust. The silencer must never be removed.

NOTE

It is advisable for cutting unit FP 100 owners to verify the compliance with the local standard

concerning safety at work. The use of ear protecting devices is compulsory.

8. USE WARNINGS

We recommend following the indications below in order to work in safety conditions.

•All the operations must be carried out complying strictly with the safety rules of the

country where the device is to be installed.

•It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to smoke during the installation or adjustment operations

of the cutting unit.

•The Customer undertakes to comply with and make his staff observe all the rules and

regulations in force concerning safety, prevention of accidents and health in the work

place.

Therefore, the Customer assumes the responsibility to strictly follow all the rules and

regulations in force, as well as the special provisions in force in sport and public installations

the Customer declares to know after receiving all the relevant necessary information.

•The cutting unit works even without its safety protection device. This protection

device must NEVER be removed.

•Always check the resistance of the material to be cut and the kind of blade which is

being used.

•The Customer shall equip his own personnel with all the individual safety protections

for the execution of the works, as well as with the ones which might be prescribed by

the Manufacturer due to specific danger conditions of the plant or of the area where

the personnel must work.

•Do not perform any adjustment while the blade is working.

•Always pay attention to the air pipe position to prevent it from being cut or damaged

by the blade.

•It is allowed to assemble cutting unit FP 100 on machines O.E.M. on condition that

their original structure is not modified. Otherwise, the intervention must be certified

by Rasor®.

Even though the cutting unit is safe, operators must pay attention to preserve their

safety and that of others.



The cutting blade can work even when the protection device is disassembled.

10. INSTALLATION AND USE

To install and use the cutting unit proceed as follows:

1) Fix the cutting unit on the machine

by means of a flat or angle bracket

by inserting it on the upper part of

the cutting unit motor support (see

pictures 4 and 5).

NOTE

The cutting unit can be installed in any position/

angle: vertically, laterally and it can be turned

upside down. It is not necessary that the

aluminium base touches the machine table.

2) Lay the material to be cut;

3) Connect the air pipe to the quick connection “A” (not supplied)

(see picture 6);

4) Set the pressure gauge (option) to 6 bar;

5) Put the material on the cutting foot (see picture 7);

6) Adjust the front mobile protection according to the thickness of

the material to be cut;

7) Enable the air remotely and carry out the cutting operation.

NOTE

Cutting unit FP 100 can work in a fixed position (the material moves)

or it can move forward while the material is kept in the same position.

Make sure the material to be cut is properly stretched, preventing it

from curling.

Never use the two bolts which fix the motor to the cutting part to fasten cutting

unit FP 100. This operation may cause the motor shaft to break. In this case, warranty

is not valid.

11. AIR PRESSURE GAUGE (OPTION)

WARNING

The cutting unit must be necessarily supplied with

lubricated air with a pressure of 4-6 bar.

Rasor®offers, as option, a reduction unit filter with a

pressure gauge already calibrated with the quantity of oil

to be delivered.

The unit shown in picture 8 is made up of:

1 - pressure reducer;

2 - valve to drain the condensate;

3 - drip-feed oiler unit;

4 - oil tank;

5 - pressure gauge;

6 - condensate tank;

7 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to the network;

8 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to the cutting unit.

For the use and maintenance read the instruction sheet supplied

with the filter.

12. BLADE SHARPENING

13. LUBRICATION

Every 3-4 consecutive working days, it is necessary to

lubricate the pair of gears. To carry out this operation,

remove protective plug “A” located on the cutting unit head

and fill it with lubricating grease Rasor.

Screw plug “A” again few turns.

Screw plug “A” some turns every 3-4 consecutive working

days (see picture 11).

Screw the plug completely and fill it again.

The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.

WARNING

After many hours of a continuative use of the cutting unit, or

if it would not be able to cut anymore, it is necessary to sharp

the blade.

To carry out this operation, start the blade and press sharpener

“2” located on it for 3-4 seconds (by pressing push button

“1”, as shown in picture 9).

Repeat the operation 2-3 times.

If the sharpening operation is not effective, check the wear

of emery grinding wheel “3” (see picture 10).

If emery grinding wheel “3” is too worn or dirty, replace it.
