Welcome
Machine Solutions, Inc. (MSI) would like to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing your new
TF-120 Tube Flaring machine. At MSI, we are dedicated to bringing innovative process development
solutions to both medical device and nonmedical organizations. MSI looks forward to helping your
organization provide life-improving devices to your customers, today and tomorrow.
Purpose
The purpose of this document (Original Instructions) is to describe the control system for the Tube
Flaring machine, TF120 model.
Overview
The Beahm Designs Inc. Model TF120 is a system designed to accommodate interchangeable tip sizes.
This unit allows you to flare or expand the ID of PTFE sheaths, and other thermoplastic tubings and is
equipped with a foot pedal actuated cooling line to set the shape in the material. Thermocouple
feedback ensures stable temperature set points.
Installation
NOTE: Ensure the system power switch is in the off position
1. Place the system on a level, sturdy surface.
2. Connect the system air extension line to 80—100 psi clean dry compressed air source.
3. Connect main AC power to the power entry module on the rear panel.

Safety
NOTE: See Maintenance section for facilities requirements
•Place the system on a level, sturdy surface at an ergonomically viable height for the user.
•Use of eye protection when working with compressed gases and heated materials is advised.
•The maximum observed Sound Pressure Level is below 70 dB(A).
•Tips will become hot during operation and, depending on temperature set point, can cause severe
skin burns if contact occurs.
CAUTION: High voltage. Remove power and use safety precautions when servicing.
CAUTION: Hot surface. Contact may cause burn. Allow to cool before servicing.
CAUTION: Pinch point. Keep hands and body parts clear while in operation.
User Alerts
Do not use the equipment other than as prescribed. Examples: Do not attempt to sit on or climb on the
equipment, do not place heavy objects or containers of liquid on the machine, do not to insert any
foreign objects into the machine and do not attempt to bypass any guards or otherwise operate the
machine in any manner other than that in which it is explicitly intended.
NOTE: The equipment is not for use with materials that can decompose or ignite below the maximum
operating temperature of the machine. Hazards are materials that outgas hazardous substances and
or ignite. (260°C/500°F).
NOTE: This equipment is not for use in an ATEX environment.

Maintenance
CAUTION: Pinch point/crush hazard. Keep fingers, hands, and clothing clear of moving parts.
1. Use 99% isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the outside of the machine. Do not attempt to
clean the inside of the machine. Machine should not be washed down.
2. Cleaning should be with a soft dry cloth only.
CAUTION: Hot surface. Contact may cause burn. Allow to cool before servicing.
NOTE: Ensure the machine is unplugged for any servicing or maintenance work.
CAUTION: Ensure the conical tip cooled to within 15 degrees F of ambient temperature before
proceeding with replacement.
Flare Tip Replacement
1. Grasp the conical tip and rotate counterclockwise (standard threads) to remove the tip.
2. Install replacement tip by threading it onto the heater post.
System Operations
WARNING: Avoid skin contact with the flare tip as injury may occur.
Operation
•Switch Main Power on.
•Set desired die temperature in degrees F using the instructions listed below.
•Position component to be processed at the center of the tip of the flare tool press tubing onto
tool until the desired amount of flare is achieved then depress the foot pedal or toggle the
cooling air switch briefly to cool and set shape.
•Upon completion of flare, remove the product from the flare tooling.

Temperature Controllers (Omega Platinum Model)
Please note, the Omega temperature controller has been auto tuned and is set for optimal
performance. Contact Beahm Designs for further diagnostics and instructions.
PID Configuration (PRoG > PId.S)
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following:
•ACtN –Action direction moves up or down to SP1.
•A.to –Autotuning Timeout sets a maximum amount of time for
Autotuning.
•AUto –Initiates Autotuning
•GAIN –Select the proportional, integral, and derivative factors for manual
tuning.
•%Lo –Low clamping limit for Pulse and Analog outputs
•%HI –High clamping limit for Pulse and Analog outputs
•AdPt –Fuzzy logic adaptive tuning
Select the desired parameter.
Action Response (PRoG > PId > ACtN)
Select the Direction (ACtN) parameter.
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following:
•RVRS –“Reverse Action”: Increase to SP1, such as heating (factory default)
•dRCt –“Direct Action”: Decrease to SP1, such as cooling
•RVRS/dRCt –Increase or Decrease to SP1, such as heating/cooling
Select the indicated setting.
Autotune Timeout (PRoG > PId > A.to)
Select the Autotune Timeout (A.to) parameter.
Set the amount of time before the Autotune process gives up and times out
in Minutes and Seconds (MM.SS). Slowly responding systems should have a
longer time-out setting.
Select the indicated setting.

Equipment User Manual
Autotune (PRoG > PId > TUNE)
Select the Autotune (AUto) command. The unit displays StRt.
Confirm Autotune activation. The unit attempts to optimize the P, I, and d
settings by stimulating the system and measuring the response. If the A.to
time out period expires before the Autotune operation can complete, the
unit displays a failure message E007. If the Autotune operation completes
successfully, the unit displays the message “doNE” and the Run mode is
switched to IDLE.
The Autotune function will select the tuning algorithm depending on the stability of current
process and the error difference between current process and the Control Setpoint (SP1). If the
process is relatively stable (i.e: at room temperature), a bump test will be performed to
determine the plant characteristics.
If the process is hot, or if the process is within 10% of Control Setpoint, limit cycle oscillation
will be performed with the tuning setpoint taken at the process value when the Autotune
function is triggered. Autotuning may be performed as many times as needed or when the
operating conditions (i.e: process load, or setpoint) have changed significantly. To obtain good
tuning results, ensure the process is stable prior to triggering autotune function. The process is
stable when it is at ambient temperature, or it is tracking Control Setpoint (SP1) in auto mode.
