NOTE:
ERM Engineering shall not be held liable under any case for damage caused by undue or
improper use of this equipment.
Any repairs or modification of the machine performed by personnel not qualified by ERM
Engineering or use of non-original spare parts provided by persons unrelated to the company, shall
give rise to loss of the manufacturer’s guarantee.
During use of the machinery and industrial use, people are subject to the risk of damage or injury
by mechanical elements in linear or gyrating movement, high voltage electric components and
static components under high temperature, due to which, during design and construction of its
equipment, ERM Engineering has aimed to reduce and minimise those risks by including
protection devices and safety systems based on the European Community Council Directives.
Pay special attention to the following danger, prohibition and obligation signs located at
different places on the machinery:
-Installation and start-up.
Place the machine where the staff will not be disturbed by the noise during operation.
Leave 1 metre free between the rear and the wall or any other installation, to feed in the profile reels.
Level the chassis using 4 rubber studs or legs.
Supply the machine with air and electrical current.
Connect the machine to the 1 x 230v. Monophase grid.
Air supply connection
Compressed air is also fed through the pressure regulator intake on the left side of the machine, through
a pipe with a minimum interior diameter of 8mm minimum and intake pressure tare between 5 and 7
bar.

-Preparation
NOTE:
Before preparation or change the matrix, always cut the air supply.
Place the profile coil at the rear of the machine, centred by the intake pulley, attaching it to an axle to
allow it to turn and unwind freely.
Begin to pass or insert the end of the profile through the intake pulley, adjusting the top guide pulley
against the profile.
Unlock the valve to introduce the profile inside the matrix and breaks.
Remove the attachment bolt of the stamping cylinder and withdraw hinge-wise to remove the pressure
cylinder and allow the profile to pass through easily.

NOTE: If you have not cut off the air supply, this operation will be difficult to perform.
Run the profile up to the last holding brake on the bottom of the head.
Fix the pressure plate for each type of profile.
•K 6 for (6x4 and 8x5)
•K 10 for (10x6 and 13x8)
no necessary for 17x11 - 22x14 and 30x16
After running the profile through, put the stamping cylinder back in its position and replace the bolt.
Close the protection door and move the slide valve to restore the air supply.
Once the profile to die cut has been loaded and placed at the beginning, press the green button on the
electric board.
If the Blue reset button is on, press it before START to reset the system.

The STOP button is used to halt the process.
NOTE:
If the machine does not start, check the front door is well closed and the emergency stop is not
locked.
-Matrix change:
WARNING: To perform a matrix change, it is essential to lock the emergency
stop and cut off the compressed air supply.
The guide pulley must be adjusted to the profile height for each profile type.
The pulley chosen is then put in place and the axle retightened with the bolt.
The matrix is then released by removing the 2 metric 8mm bolts, removing it cleanly outward with the
two knurled controls.

The new matrix is put in place the same way, strongly tightening hand bolts.
The cylinder gauge must also be set to the appropriate pressure.

-Maintenance and care
•Check the matrixes periodically and keep them in places where they are protected from dirt and
blows.
•If worn, replace the bits with new ones.
•Clean the machine with pressurised air after each use. This prevents the moving parts locking
due to swarf from the die cut metal.
