2.5 Layout and function
The cutter is constructed on a stable, welded frame construction.
Upper cutter part The upper cutter part comprises:
– Base frame with table
– Beam with carriage
– Beam drive
– Side covers with operating unit
The beam is driven by a DC-servo motor. The patented drive system:
– Has superb precision, reliability and durability (low maintenance)
– Consists of a slip-free steel band drive with torsion shaft and with hardened and
ground linear guides.
The robust beam is designed to accept all tool systems available. Beam and tool
head are monitored by a safety shut-down system consisting of light barriers and sa-
fety trip switches.
The carriage is part of the beam and is used for carrying the tool heads. A central
locking screw enables quick and trouble-free head exchange.
The carriage drive is integrated into the beam and comprises:
– A servo-controlled DC motor
– A slip-free steel band drive
The standard tabletop is made from easy-care plastic. In practical use, it is a proven
solution with low noise emission and it protects the tools. The material to be pro-
cessed is put on the table and held down by vacuum.
Principle for fixing the material:
Small holes in the vacuum plate are connected to a vacuum pump via air ducts. The
suction area of the table can be adjusted and controlled depending on the application
and material feeding system.
The two side covers encase the beam drive.
The control panel:
– Is integrated into a side cover
– Consists of an LCD display and keypad
– Enables user-friendly input of settings and menu commands

Lower cutter part The lower cutter part comprises:
– Side parts
– Covering panels
– Electronic unit and distribution box
– Vacuum pump(s)
The two side parts
– Are attached to the base frame
– Can be adapted to uneven floors using the levelling screws.
Between the side parts
– Braces are fastened for the assembly of the electronics box and the vacuum
pump(s)
– Two removable covering panels are hung.
The electronic control box:
– Is fitted on pull-out rails for ease of servicing
– Contains the main processor, the servo processor for the 4-axis control system
and the power supply unit
– Can be adapted to the available mains voltage using a voltage selector
The distribution box is operated using the On/Off switch and enables:
– All components of the plotter system to be switched on/off simultaneously
– Consumer loads to be switched on by the software
– Distribution of individual consumers to different mains phases
Compressor, extractor and vacuum pump(s) with accessories:
– Are adapted to the plotter version and to the material feed system,
– Are located under the plotter if there is enough space
Large vacuum pumps are installed in sound-proof boxes or in an adjoining room.
Extractors are used only for milling operations.
2.6 Intended use
The plotter system is to be used:
– As output device for CAD/CAM systems
– For processing materials arranged on the table
The intended use and the limits of the application:
– Depend on the tools and material feed system available
– Are specified in sections 3 and 4
