Figure 1.1 –Operator Control Panel
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Replicator®1100 CCD is an optical tracing system complete with scanner assembly,
operator control panel, two-axis servo amplifier, and scanner cable. Also available are
motor gearbox assemblies and cables. When integrated with a Burny®CNC, the
Replicator 1100 CCD can be configured for external two-axis and three axis (drive
synchronized) servo amplifier applications.
The optical scanner (tracing head) is normally mounted vertically, allowing it to trace a
horizontal template. The template can be either a line or a silhouette (edge) type.
The tracing head automatically follows the edge of this template and transmits optical
information to the logic card that is located in the enclosure.
The logic card translates this information into speed, axis, and direction signals, which
are then amplified by a second printed circuit card that is also located in the enclosure.

On units with an internal two-axis servo amplifier, the output of this card is then sent
directly to both of the axis servo motors.
The Operator Control Panel contains switches and controls that allow the operator to
utilize all of the features of the tracing head. In addition, manual jog control of each axis
is also provided.
This economical optical tracing system is ideally suited for small and medium size
cutting machines. It can scan and follow either line drawings or contrasting edge patterns.
The Replicator CCD features automatic "lead-in" and "lock-on" in the direction of travel
desired. This canbe either clockwise or counter clockwise around the template. This is
possible with either a line or silhouette template.
In either the tracing mode or the jog mode the operator can change the speed of the
machine using a continuously adjustable potentiometer that is conveniently located at the
Operator Control Panel.

1.3 TEMPLATE PREPARATION
1.3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Replicator CCD tracing system uses a template, a full-scale drawing of the part or
hole to be cut. The system can trace a line drawing or a silhouette. See the figure below
showing these two drawing types.
Figure 1.2 –Template Types
The system can trace a black line on white paper in Edge Mode or Centerline Mode. It
can also trace a silhouette (edge) template in Edge Mode only.
For best performance the contrast of the line or edge template should be as high as
possible. If various shades of gray are encountered, or if the patterns are not kept clean,
tracing performance will deteriorate accordingly.
Black ink on white paper has proved to provide the best overall tracing regarding both
accuracy and reliability.
1.3.2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEMPLATE PREPARATION
SHAPE
A line template usually has the same size and shape as the part or hole to be cut, at the
outside edge of the template or along the centerline of the template. In edge mode tracing
with the Tracer Kerfpot set to zero, the center of the tracing head and the center of the
torch follow the outside edge of the template line. In centerline mode tracing with the
Tracer Kerf pot set to zero, the center of the tracing head and the center of the torch
follow the center of the template line.
A template that will always be used with the same value of kerf can be enlarged by half
this kerf value. Then it can be run with the Tracer Kerfpot set to zero and the part will
cut to the correct size.
LINE WIDTH
For best performance, template lines should be a minimum of 0.7mm (0.028 in.) in
width.
Line Template Silhouette Template

PART 1 –SYSTEM OVERVIEW
SPEED
For speeds less than 1000 mm/min (40 in/min) a corner radius of 2.5mm (0.1 in.) is
recommended. For speeds above 1000 mm/min the radius should beincreased based on
the machine performance. This will be directly related to the drives selected and the
frame weight and stability.
CORNERS
The smallest angle which can be traced (without a corner radius) is 90°. If an angle less
than this is required, or if kerf is to be used, the template must have a corner radius as
described under Speed above. If a corner radius is not provided an alternative solution is
to use corner slowdown.
CORNER SLOWDOWN
The Replicator CCD has two modes for corner slowdown:
•Automatic Slowdown
•Corner Marker Slowdown
Corner slowdown modes are selected by the yellow tracer function pushbuttons as
described in the “Replicator Trace Function Activation Table” in Part 2.
The corner slowdown speed is set using the Corner Speed pot, but is never greater than
the speed set by the Run Speed pot and the High / Low / Off Speed switch.
AUTOMATIC CORNER SLOWDOWN
When the Automatic Corner Slowdown mode is active, the tracer will slowdown under
certain template conditions. Typically, these conditions are when the tracer approaches:
1. Any radius of 8 mm (5/16”) or less.
2. Any corner of 135º or less.
CORNER MARKER SLOWDOWN
With the Corner Marker Slowdown mode active, the tracer will slow down in areas
where the template is prepared as follows.
Increase the width of the line to 4mm (0.160 in.) at each corner or location where
slowdown is desired, as shown in Figure 1.3 below. Note that the line must be widened
on the edge not followed by the tracer.
Slowdown begins when the wide part of the line is encountered by the tracer. Speed will
decrease from the machine feedrate to a value set by the Corner Speed pot, if the
slowdown began soon enough. This means that the best length of the widened line
depends on the machine performance.

Figure 1.3 –Slowdown Marker
