2.10.1 Feeding Device Operation
After the device has powered on, the loading table can detect presence or absence of materials through infrared sensor detection
via the material detect sensor located on the base of the loading table. When materials are covering the sensor, the table will
rise and when materials are removed, the table will lower. The table will rise to meet the position of the height detection sensors.
After material feeding, the loading platform will drop and rise to compensate for material being fed.
2.10.2 Usage of Feeding Device
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.
Page 25 of 61

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.

The cut file will process and each tool will be used. At completion of cutting, check where each tool has cut. Each tool should
cut directly on the lines. If each tool is off in the same spot, repeat the camera calibration. If only a few tools or one tool is off,
offset adjustments will be needed for the tool socket.
4.2.3 Tool Offset Adjustments
To adjust the offset for a tool, open Cut Control Software. Select the drop down for Configuration(T), then select Modification(P).
Input password “echocut” when promted and hit enter.

Scroll down until you locate socket type. From the drop down, select the socket thats needs adjustment. The tool to the right will
populate when changing sockets and new parameters will load.
For this example, the EOT tool is cutting at the below position in relevance to our printed die line:
The X-axis offset and Y-axis offset will need to be changed. Measure in mm and input the change into these parameters.
Accroding to measurements, the X axis will need to be adjusted by 5mm in the positive direction. Add 5mm to the original 135.070
value to make the new value 140.070.
Accroding to measurements, the Y axis will need to be adjusted by 1mm in the positive direction. Subtract 1mm from the original
88.930 value to make the new value 87.930.
Process the file to test the new offset. Be sure to click apply and exit to save the settings.

5.2.1.3 DSP Serial Connection Disconnect
Issue: Eclipse will not respond to movement directions in the software. An alarm code is prompted stating there is a barrier.
Resolution #1:
Remove any obstacles blocking side sensors of the Eclipse. Once removed, clear the error by selecting option Sure. Machine
will home if during boot up procedure or will allow control again.
5.2.2 Loading Device Troubleshooting
5.2.2.1 Error: No Material
Issue: Loading device is not moving and reports an error in Cut Control Software stating no material.
Resolution #1:
Place material onto loading device. Ensure material is covering the eagle eye material detect sensor. Loading device will initialize.
5.2.2.2 Error: Waiting for PLC to be Ready
Issue: Loading device is not moving and reports an error waiting for PLC to be ready.
Resolution #1:
Loading device is in reset mode, wait for it to complete, then clear the error and try again.
Resolution #2:
Material has a curl causing height detection sensors laser to read under the material. Fix the curl in the material or adjust sensors
to read higher on sheet.

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.

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

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.

5.2.4 Conveyor Not Advancing After Cutting
Issue: After material is done processing, the conveyor is not moving to allow material to eject into collection device.
Resolution #1:
Check barometer and ensure it is set to at least 0.6MPa.
Resolution #2:
Adjust the tension of the belt by using allen keys. Depending on fixutre, will require tightening or loosening.
Remove covers to expose screw adjustments for belt tension. Insert an allen key and turn clockwise or counter clockwise
dependentupon 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.
Be sure to adjust both sets of screws (4 total) evenly.
