2.11 Suction Device

2.11.1 Working Principle of Suction Device

The suction device uses suction cups to grab materials. The vacuum system is operated through a vacuum pump and when

materials are grabbed, the valves opens to connect the vacuum pump with the suction cup’s pipeline.

2.11.2 Positioning of Suction Cups and Materials

Depending on material types and thickness, the height of the feeding table can adjusted by pressing the “UP” or “DOWN”

button on the Eclipse.

DOWN

For air-impermeable materials, the loading table should be adjusted to the highest position. When the suction cup is grabbing

the material, the suction cup should be in contact with the material.

For air-permeable materials, the height of the loading table

should be appropiately lowered and distnaced between the suction cup and the material should be about 1-2mm.

3.3.3.2 Collecting Device Fixes

Issue: Collecting device attempts to rotate, but a load noise is heard and conveyor belt does not rotate.

Resolution: Check the air intake barometer and ensure pressure it set to 0.6MPa. If the pressure is less than this, the blowback

suction does not work properly and the belt will remain and place and can not rotate.

Issue: Collecting device attempts to rotate but does no fully rotate.

Resolution: Ajust the tension of belt and motor by using an allen key to loosen or tighten the collecting motor.

Remove covers to expose screw adjustments for belt tension. Insert an allen key and turn clockwise or counter clockwise dependent

upon current status of belt tension.

If there is a lip in the belt near the front edge, tighten the belt by turning the allen key clockwise.

Page 54 of 61

Eclipse 2029 Digital Die Cutter Installation Manual, page 55
Text on page 55

5.2.2.3 Cannot Feed Material

Issue: When attempting to feed materials, the suckers under the gantry do not make contact with the material or make contact,

but do not pick material up.

Resolution #1:

Depending on material types and thickness, the height of the feeding table can adjusted by pressing the “UP” or “DOWN”

button on the Eclipse.

DOWN

For air-impermeable materials, the loading table should be adjusted to the highest position. When the suction cup is grabbing

the material, the suction cup should be in contact with the material.

For air-permeable materials, the height of the loading table

should be appropiately lowered and distnaced between the suction cup and the material should be about 1-2mm.

Resolution #2:

Curl in the material is causing height detection sensors to position material inaccurately.

Fix the curl in the material or adjust height sensors.

Resolution #3:

Vacuum pump is not working.

Check to ensure vacuum pump is powering on before feeding. Suction requires the vacuum pump to working in full power.

Text on page 56

5.2.2.4 Material Sticks Together When Feeding

Issue: When attempting to feed materials, the suckers grab multiple sheets of material.

Resolution #1:

Align the material foward and fix the magnetic plates to hold material in place.

Adjust the length of the material seperators to the proper posistion. The extension length is about 3-8mm.

Resolution #2:

Adjust separator air power from solenoid.

Open the thumb screen to increase air power.

Page 56 of 61

Eclipse 2029 Digital Die Cutter Installation Manual, page 57
Text on page 57

Resolution #3:

Position loading device so material is beneath or in between the air separators. The ideal working height is for the air to separate

materials and blow individual sheets upward to make contact with the sucker.

5.2.3.1 Edges Not Smooth

Issue: When cutting, edges are not smooth.

Resolution #1:

When using the DK tool, the blade will swivel in the chamber. Cut a short line before the turn, so the blade can change direction

with the cut path.

5.2.3.2 Burrs on Cutting Edge

Issue: When cutting, the path of the cut will have burrs on the edges.

Resolution #1:

Adjust the length of the blade exposure from the DK tool.

Adjust the length of the blade tip and try cutting on the material, as long as

the material has been half cut to form a sticker, label etc.

Adjust the length of the blade tip and try cuting on the material, as long as

the material has been cut through.

Resolution #2:

Blade could be broken, change blade out for a new one.
