1.Product Description
Hektor 4 is a tool to separate milled PCB's which are connected by small strips carefully and
economically.
The blades are arranged customized. It depends on the shape and the size of the PCB to be
cut. They are made of special steel and they are low-wear.
The blades are offered in 5 standard width. Special sizes are manufactured by request.
Hektor 4uses compressed air connection for the operation.
It is recommended to connect an industrial vacuum cleaner.This way the separated pieces
may drawn off right away and it is possible to dispose the pieces immediately.
Hektor 4 is prepared to connect an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Compressed air connection
-Use only waterfree and filtered compressed air.
-Put the compressed air tube, which is used for the pressure air supply, into the socket (2)
belonging to it.
-Connect the compressed air tube at the pressure air supply.
-The valve of the pressure regulator is adjusted at 6 bar working pressure. It is shown at the
manometer.
The working pressure may not be greater than 6 bar (limited by the stability of the blades).
Aworking pressure less than 3 bar is not adjustable.
-If you would like to operate with another working pressure or if it is necessary to adjust it you
have to open the valve of the pressure regulator.
Pull the hood (1) out and adjust the pressure. Press the hood (1) in.

6.Operation
Connection of a suction device
-Connect the tube of the suction device with the suction pipe (3) on the side of the strip
separator.
-Make the electrical connection with the industrial vacuum cleaner. Put the power cable of
the cleaner into the socket (5) of the HEKTOR 4.
-Connect the device with an earthed socket. Use the delivered power cable. Put this cable
into the power module (4).
-Now it is possible to switch on and off the suction device on the switch of the strip seperator.
Fig. 2Power supply
-Slide the PCB (8) to be separated with the pre-scored groove from the top to the blades.
Place the strips at the matrices (12) and slide they against the blades.
-Activate the separation by actuating both hand switches (7) on the sides of the strip
separator.
-Remove the separated boards.
By using a suction device the rests will be disposed permanently.

7.Maintenance and Cleaning
The cleaning of the separator from the rests depends on the number of separated boards.
By using a suction device the rests will be disposed permanently. Nevertheless it is
recommended to check regular whether there are rests in the machine. These rests have to be
disposed.
Cleaning of the machine
