Recommended Wire Sizes (Figure 1)

The wire sizes that can be used on the M30 as well as recommended uses are listed below. Note that when size changes, several parts on the Head will have to be changed to accommodate the wire size change. Instructions for changing these parts are detailed later in this manual. Wire gauges smaller than the specific size for which the head is set can still be used, but the maximum capacity for the machine will not be reached. For example, if the Head is set for 19x21-1/2 gauge wire, it will still function properly with 20x24 gauge wire, but the stitching capacity will drop. Please refer to Figure 6 stitching capacities of different wire gauges.

Two types of Clincher Points are available for the M30. When running round wire, use the Clincher Points with part number G40955R. For flat wire, use the Clincher Points with part number G40955F.

When stitching stock over 20# it is possible that high tensile wire will be required, which is available in 21x25, 20x24, 19x21-1/2, and 18x20 flat wire sizes. Note that high tensile wire may cause increased wear on certain parts. For any stock over 33# or coated, it is recommended that 19x20-1/2 or 18x20 flat wire be used. Refer to Figure 6 for a general overview of suggested wire sizes to use for specific stitch capacities.

The DeLuxe Stitcher M30 Stitcher Machine is a single-head stitcher designed to accommodate both light and heavy-duty work, stitch both flat and saddle work and can reliably stitch any thickness of stock from 2 sheets to 1-1/4” (30mm). It even stab stitches up to 2” (50mm) of material. The recommended wire sizes to be used on the M30 are: 20 to 25 gauge round wire and 20x24, 20x25, 21x25, 19x21-1/2 and 18x20 flat wire.

The M30 is easily adjusted from saddle work to flat work by tilting the work table. An adjustable work guide and adjustable work stops are easily attached to the work table and provide for accurate registering of flat work for uniformly spacing the staples. In addition a work table extension is available to accommodate larger sizes of work to be stitched. The M30 is the most versatile of all single-head machines.

Because of the length of the work table, the M30 must be secured to the floor to meet CE stability requirements. Sound level readings at the normal operator position are approximately 70 dB.

The following is a brief list of problems and solutions which should cover the majority of situations encountered when stitching with the M30. The quality and quantity of work that can be produced with the M30 Stitcher is dependent upon the operator making all adjustments as accurately as possible and carefully maintaining the machine. The cause of staple imperfections usually can be traced to inaccurate settings or normal wear of moving parts. In the event of problems of this nature occurring, the operator can, be referring to the troubleshooting chart, quickly locate the solution.

problem: The machine will not complete a cycle, under power or manually.

solution :

  1. Make sure the compression setting is correct. If not turn the Hand Wheel (G30128) counterclockwise to raise the Stitcher Head.
  2. If the V-Belt is too loose, it must be tightened.
  3. Make sure none of the Clutch Springs are broken and that the Clutch has not failed. If either is the case, the entire assembly.

4.Make sure the Safety Interlock Key (850343) on the plastic Head Guard (G40135) is in complete contact with the switch on the right side of the head.

problem: The stitch quality is poor.

solution:

  1. Make sure the wire is feeding straight from the Wire Spool and through the Stitcher Head.
  2. Make sure the compression setting is correct.
  3. Make sure the Clincher Plate (G40952A) is lined up with the Driver, both side-to-side and front-to-back.
  4. Make sure the Clincher Points (G40955R or G40955F) are not set too low or too high.
  5. Make sure the left leg of the stitch is the same length as the right leg.
  6. Check the following Head parts for wear: the Cutters (G40145 & G40600), Driver, Formers, Supporter (G40653A), and Wire Holder (G20659BA). Reverse or replace worn parts as necessary.
  7. Make sure the Clincher Points are clear of debris and paper build-up.
  8. Make sure the Clincher Roller Bearing (G40905), located inside the frame, is not worn or broken.

problem: Wire is dropped before it can be formed, is drawn in inconsistent lengths, or is jamming.

solution:

  1. Make sure the wire is feeding straight from the Wire Spool and through the Stitcher Head.
  2. Make sure the Clincher Points are clear of debris and paper build-up.
  3. Check the following Head parts for wear: the Cutters (G40145 & G40600), Driver, Formers, Supporter (G40653A), and Wire Holder (G20659BA). Reverse or replace worn parts as necessary.
  4. Verify that the Wire Holder is properly aligned with the grooves in the Formers.
  5. Make sure the Tension Spring on the Wire Spool is not set too tightly.
  6. Make sure the Feed Gear Friction Plug is exerting enough pressure on the Large Feed Gear. (Between 3 & 4 turns after contact is made).
  7. Make sure there is enough tension on the Feed Lever Spring.

problem: Left Leg Short solution: Lengthen the left leg by loosening the two screws on the Cutter Box Adjustment Slide, and moving the Cutter Box to the left.

problem: Left Leg Long solution: Shorten the left leg by loosening the two screws on the Cutter Box Adjustment Slide, and moving the Cutter Box to the right.

problem: Corner Buckled solution: Check the Driver for a chipped corner and rotate or replace if necessary.

problem: Leg(s) Buckled solution: Check the Wire Cutters for wear and rotate or replace if needed.

problem: Crown Buckled solution: Check Supporter Spring tension. Check for correct wire size being used. Check for correct work thickness setting.

problem: Stitch in Pieces solution: Clean the Wire Holder. If problem persists, file the forming corner of the Wire Holder slightly with a honing stone. Or replace the Wire Holder.

problem: Corners of the Crown are Rounded solution: Replace the worn Wire Holder.

problem: Loose Clinch solution: 1. Check for correct work thickness setting. Check and reset the Clincher Points height if necessary. Check Clincher Points and replace if worn. Check Clincher Slide and replace if worn.

problem: Legs are Spread or Contracted solution: Readjust the Wire Straightener Eccentrics to improve straightness. Check the Wire Cutters for wear and rotate or replace if necessary. Check the Former grooves and replace if necessary.

Disassembly (See figure 42)

To disassembly the Clutch-Brake unit (850673 or 850674) it will be necessary to remove the Drive Pulley (7678) from the stitcher by removing the V-Belt (850730), Retaining Ring (P7863), and Clutch Anchor Screw (7681). Disconnect the Ground and Solenoid wires, and swing the anchor strap (FC9656) clear of the Drive Pulley Assembly and slide it off of the Drive Shaft. Remove the three

  1. Screws (UA4812.7) connecting the Drive Pulley to the Clutch-Brake unit.

When disassembling the Clutch-Brake unit, always mark the Spring Tang locations with reference to which slots they go in if the same Springs are to be used for reassembly. To disassemble the Clutch-Brake unit, proceed as follows:

Release the Actuator Lever so that the Clutch is engaged and the Brake is released. Remove the Retaining Ring and the Shim Washer, if any, from the Input Hub (851321) end. Remove the Input Hub by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Remove the Retaining Ring and the Shim Washer, if any, from the Mounting Plate end.

Remove the Output Shaft Springs and the Control Collar (850888) Assembly by rotating the Output Shaft (850891) in the drive direction. (Do not disassemble the brake Hub (850892) from the Mounting Plate. (850890)) Remove the Control Collar from the Output Shaft and the Spring Assembly by extracting toward the Brake Spring end.

Assembly (See figure 42)

Replace the Clutch (850888), Brake (850889) and Anti-Back (850962) Springs as required. Assemble the Springs concentric and square to the Output Shaft.(850891) Assemble the Control Collar over the Output Shaft and Spring Assembly by inserting it from the Brake Spring End (it will be necessary to extend the Brake Springs using long nose pliers.) Place the Brake Spring Tang in any one (1) of the nine (9) Control Collar slots at random.

Assemble the Output Shaft, Springs and Control Collar assembly to the Mounting Plate Assembly by rotating the Output Shaft in the drive direction. Assemble the Retaining Ring (850886) to the Output Shaft at the Mounting Plate end (the smooth surface facing the Brake Hub.) Check the end play between the Hub and the Retaining Ring with a feeler gauge. There should be 0.004” to 0.010” end play. Use a Shim Washer to adjust if necessary.

Rotate the Output Shaft in the drive direction until it reaches a full brake position. With the Clutch Spring Tang NOT in slot, insert the Input Hub (851321) by rotating opposite to the drive direction. Select one (1) of ten (10) Control Collar slots for the Clutch Spring Tang that will provide a 0.38” to 0.50” circumferential overtravel of the Control Collar when released.

The clutch-brake unit is designed with the bearing parts made from sintered metal that has been impregnated with oil and normally do not need to be re-lubricated. In cases where there is severe duty, the unit may be re-oiled or flushed out with minimal or no disassembly by using a light bearing oil as used in manufacture (Shell Bearing Infusion Oil #33). If disassembly of the unit for cleaning and oiling is necessary, follow the detailed disassembly instructions to the point needed, flush and wipe parts in the oil to be used for re-lubrication. Do not use solvents to clean the parts. To get more cleaning action for the oil, it may be heated while cleaning the components, but bring the parts back to ambient temperature submerged in cool oil.

Place the spring onto the plunger with the narrow end towards the actuator. Slide the solenoid onto the actuator and plate assembly. Assemble the solenoid to the plate assembly with the cap screws and washers. Do not tighten more than finger tight.

Energize the coil and adjust the gap between the actuator and the top of the collar stop to 0.015" to 0.030" by sliding the solenoid assembly. Note: push the collar toward the actuator to allow for collar movement. Tighten the cap screws.

Control Collar Adjustment (Figure 43)

The stopping position of the head can be changed if necessary by adjusting the position of the stop cam on the control collar sleeve. Turn the machine manually until the driver is in the desired stopping position, the proceed as follows:

Work the Retaining Ring (850886) out of its groove and slide it forward on the Input Hub (851321). Slide the cam of the Control Collar Assembly (850888) off of the splines, rotate to align the collar stop with the actuator and slide the cam back on the splines. The actuator pawl will have to be held clear during this operation. Slide the retaining ring back into its groove.

Make sure brake is locked up before proceeding, to insure the proper stop point.

Quick start

  1. Inspect the crate, unpack and check all components; replace the Shipping Tab (G40978) with the Clincher Plate (G40954).
  2. Remove the face guard, attach the upper wire straightening bracket, wire spool bracket, spool stud and wire spool, then refit the guard.
  3. Install the work table on the table pivot shaft, tighten the set screws and attach the work guide and stops.
  4. Thread wire through the wire guide spring, tension pawl, straightener rollers and oiler felts, then pull it past the feed gears into the cutter box with pliers.
  5. Set the four straightener rollers just touching the wire and cycle the machine, adjusting until the wire comes out straight.
  6. Unlock the adjuster lock lever, clamp a work sample with the hand wheel, back off and return, then lock the lever and test.
