Adjustment of Motor Position
For assembly, the motor has to stay on its precise
position. Therefore the axle must rotate without
resistance, to prevent later damages to the
bearings.
To do so, the tool A+B needs to be
mounted first as shown in the picture.
Then put the motor on the axle B) and
tighten it with the cross head screws.
Test: Adjust the motor as long, till the axle is
moving without resistance, back- and
forwards. Then tighten up the motor
definitely.
Remove the tool A+B.

6Adjustments
6.1 Cutter
Prepare the Access B400 for the cutter adjustment
as shown in the picture:
Bypass the protective cover switch with a
magnet.
Connect the power supply.
Adjustment:
The ball bearing is turning on an
eccentric axle.
1. For begin of the adjustment, the mark on
the nut has to stay at the top position.
2. The allen screw must be tighten up well
but still allowing to turn the nut
clockwise.
3. Feed an envelope to start the motor.
4. Control if the envelop is cut correctly.
Refer to illustration 22.
5. With a flat wrench no.15) turn the nut
clockwise little by little to reduce the gab
between ball bearing and blade.
6. Test each time with some thin envelopes
from stack, if the cutter cuts the
envelopes only at one side.
On the backside of the envelope a mark
of the blade is acceptable.
7. If the adjustment is correct, torque down
the allen screw with a tightening torque
of 6Nm at minimum.
The usage of a torque wrench is
recommended.
During the adjustment process, some
Access B400 may have a slightly metallic
sound. This is caused by the cutter,
touching the counter pressure ball
bearing and to declare as a result of
tolerance differences in the cutter
mechanic . This sound is normal and has to
be accepted. There is no risk to damage
the cutter seriously.
8. After correct adjustment of the cutter,
run some test envelopes. Use for test thin
envelopes.
9. Finish the assembly.

6.2 Separator Unit
Basically the separator unit is pre-adjusted
through Frama AG. The space between separator
shoe and letter table needs only to be controlled
in case of bad separated envelopes.
Process as followed:
Put the adjustment tool underneath the
separator shoes as displayed.
The flap has to stay on top of the pin.
Illustration 24 Adjustment / Separator Shoe
Loosen the nuts and turn the grub
screws either out or in, till the rubber of
the separator shoes slightly touches the
surface of the adjustment tool.
Secure the grub screws with the nuts.
Process some test envelopes.
Finish the assembly.
- Snap in the protective cover.
