ENERAL DESCRIPTION SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The Spedo 2600 Pinless Forms Cutter is designed to produce cut sheets from continuous paper
webs. In addition, the machine can also optionally trim away either or both margins and
optionally centre cut the paper web.
Fig . Spedo 2600 Pinless Forms Cutter
A normal cross-cut is made at the leading edge of the paper web. However, the machine is also
capable of operating in double cross-cut mode, when it is required to cut before and after the
leading edge to shorten the overall length of the form.
The depth of form to be cut, depth of strip and feed are all measured in terms of line increments,
either as a 6 lines per inch, 8 lines per inch, 10 lines per inch, 12 lines per inch or 16 lines per inch.
In double cut mode, a second cross-cut is made at any interval of between 1 to 9 lines after the
first cut as set by the digital coding switch.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Spedo 2600 Pinless Forms Cutter
Paper is fed into the machine under the paper tension brush, over the in-feed plate, along the paper
supports onto two paper guide units. Once the paper guide units have been adjusted for width and
thickness (weight) of paper web, the web is `jogged' forward and backwards by the operator until it has
been aligned with the edge of the paper guide unit flaps.
At this stage, if the carrier sides (margins) are to be cut off, LH and RH trimmers can be engaged, their
precise position being set by aligning their cut marks with the carrier perforations. In addition, a centre
cutter can be engaged and aligned by the operator at this point, if required.
The machine is capable of operating in conjunction with an ancillary unit (e.g. a web control, printer or
labeller) and successful co-operation between the two units depends on the loop of paper that forms
between the two machines. The presence of paper feeding into the machine is detected by a paper run
out switch located on the in-feed plate. If the paper runs out, the machine automatically stops.

MODES OF CUT
Introduction
Forms can be cut either by a single cut or by a dual (double) cut as configured by the digital coding switch.
The terminology used in the following explanation relates to Fig 1.5.
Single cut mode is used when it is required to make the cut at the leading edge of the paper web as
shown. The value of form depth is set on the digital code switch on the control panel.
Modes of Cut – Single Cut
Dual cut mode is used when the cut form depth required is smaller than the depth of the original stock
size as shown below, this results in a strip being cut away between forms. In this mode, the value of the
form depth and the strip depth is set in on the digital code switch on the control panel.

Setting the Form Depth
The principle of setting form depth is by line count. The machine motor is geared such that 1 revolution of
the drive roller moves the paper web forward exactly 6 inches.
For single cut mode, the Strip Depth switch is always set to 0 and can be ignored during the following
explanation.
In order to allow the operator to set various form depth values (6, 12, 18 inches etc..) by line increment,
the machine is fitted with a line increment feature that allows the cut to be made at line positions. The
incremental values can be selected at the Increment switch and are as follows:
1/6 in = 6 lines per inch
1/8 in = 8 lines per inch
1/10in = 10 lines per inch
1/12 in = 12 lines per inch
1/16 in = 16 lines per inch
From the above table, it can be seen that if you wished to cut to a form depth of 12 inches, if you selected
a line increment of 1/6 in, this would be 6 lines x 12 inches = 72 lines.
So you would dial up 072 on the Form Depth switch. The machine would then cut at each 72 line point.
Similarly, if you selected 1/8 in line increment, this would be 8 lines x 12 inches = 96 lines.
So you would dial up 096 on the Form Depth switch and the machine would then cut at each 96 line point
and still maintain the 12-inch form depth.

15 | S p e d o 2 6 0 0 O p e r a t o r M a n u a l S p e d o U K L t d
15 Spedo 2600 Pinless Cutter Operator Manual
Example 1. If you wished to cut a form of depth 11
1
/
4
inches from a continuous paper web, the line
increment set-in must be a multiple of the denominator of the fractional value (in this example it is 4). 4 is
a multiple of 8, 12 or 16, so either of these incremental values can be set to give a round number of total
lines per form depth:
With 1/8 in selected = 8 lines per inch,
8 x 11 = 88
8/4 = 2 lines
88 + 2 = 90 lines.
The values set on the digital code switches would be 8 090.
With 1/12 in selected = 12 lines per inch,
12 x 11 = 132 lines
12/4 = 3
132 + 3 = 135 lines
The values set on the digital code switches would be 12 135.
With 1/16 in selected = 16 lines per inch,
16 x 11 = 176 lines
16/4 = 4
176 + 4 = 180 lines
The values set on the digital code switches would be 16 180.

16 Spedo 2600 Pinless Cutter Operator Manual
Example 2. If you wished to cut a form of depth 10 1/2 inches from a continuous paper web, the line
increment set-in must be a multiple of the denominator of the fractional value (in this example it is 2).
2 is a multiple of 6, 8, 12 or 16, so either of these incremental values can be set to give a round number of
total lines per form depth:
With 1/6 in selected = 6 lines per inch,
6 x 10 = 60 lines
6/2 = 3
60 + 3 = 63 lines
The values set on the digital code switches would be 6 063.
With 1/8 in selected = 8 lines per inch,
8 x 10 = 80 lines
8/2 = 4
80 + 4 = 84 lines.
The values set on the digital code switches would be 8 084.
With 1/10 in selected = 10 lines per inch,
10 x 10 = 100 lines
10/2 = 5
100 + 5 = 105 lines.
The values set on the digital code switches would be 10 105.
With 1/12 in selected = 12 lines per inch,
12 x 10 = 120
12/2 = 6
120 + 6 = 126 lines.

17 | S p e d o 2 6 0 0 O p e r a t o r M a n u a l S p e d o U K L t d
17 Spedo 2600 Pinless Cutter Operator Manual
The values set on the digital code switches would be 12 126.
With 1/16 in selected = 16 lines per inch,
16 x 10 = 160 lines
16/2 = 8
160 + 8 = 168 lines.
The values set on the digital code switches would be 16 168.
Example 3. If you wished to cut a form of depth 7
1
/
5
inches from a 12-inch continuous paper web, the line
increment set-in must be a multiple of the denominator of the fractional value (in this example it is 5).
5 is a multiple of 10, so only an incremental value of 10 can be set to give a round number of total lines
per form depth:
With 1/10 in selected = 10 lines per inch,
10 x 7 = 70 lines
10/5 = 2
70 + 2 = 72 lines.
The values set on the digital code switches would be 10 072.

18 Spedo 2600 Pinless Cutter Operator Manual
Setting the Strip Depth in Dual Cut Mode
When in dual cut mode, the machine makes a cut immediately before and after a perforation, resulting in
a strip being cut out. The strip depth value is set in terms of line increment on the Strip Depth switch.
Consider Example 1 again. A form depth of 11
1
/
4
is to be cut from a 12-inch web:
12 - 11
1
/
4
=
3
/
4
.
This means that a 3/4 inch strip must be cut out between forms. A
3
/
4
inch depth at a line increment of 1/8
in works out as|:
8/4 = 2
2 x 3 = 6 lines.
With the value 6 set on the Strip Depth switch, 6 must be deducted from the original value of 90 set in for
a single cut, so that 84 is now set-in on the Form Depth switch.
The Strip Depth switch can be set in the range 0 to 9 (lines) and these will relate to the line increment
setting selected.
The cut positions can now be `fine tuned' by the using the JOG pushbuttons to determine how many lines
before and after the perforation line the cuts are made ( i.e., 3 lines before and 3 lines after, or 1 line
before and 5 lines after, etc.)
Multiple strips can also be performed by increasing the STRIP[X] multiplier function.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES APPENDIX A1
Double Cross-Cut Blade
This is a cross-cutting device for removing the cross perforation from the paper web, without any
loss of time or performance. The strip depth can be changed from 1/6
th
to 7.8mm.depending on
the size of blade to be fitted. The strip is cleanly separated from the forms on each motion of the
blades by blown air. The movable lower blade can be tilted off for single cut operation, if
required. In this mode, the Strip Depth switch on the control panel will be removed.
Optical Loop Switch Unit 2230
This unit is designed to control the height of the paper loop which forms between an out-feeding
printer or collator and the associated in-feeding Spedo Forms Cutter.
Optical Loop Interface Unit 2232
This unit is designed to control the height of the paper loop that forms between an out-feeding
printer or collator and the associated in-feeding Spedo Forms Cutter. It also detects the overflow
of paper out-feeding from the printer or collator that occurs if the Forms Cutter stops accepting
paper infeed.
Web Control Unit 9400
This unit is a high speed web buffer used to accurately control the paper web into the forms
cutter. The web buffer allows the operator to stop and start the entire print line automatically,
thus improving productivity.
