. DRIVE INFORMATION FOR PUNCHING SECTION OF YOUR MACHINE 12
T
T
he machine is driven by a three-phase motor (P : 0.25 Kw), controlled by an inverter with
vectorial flow control which controls the up and down movement of the punch tool. The up and
down movement is carried out by an eccentric, which via a connecting rod and yoke enables the
punch pins to move up and down.
NOTICE : The stop is always priority with regard to the start.
In case of prolonged jam, the machine wil be automatically be switched off by the action of the
inverter control, integrating a thermic protection for the motor and the inverter.
NOTICE : The LED located on the right side of the closing bar will not be lit. To cancel this action,
switch off the machine and wait 30 seconds before switching the machine on again.
