Automatic Fabric Spreader Machine


EASTMAN NA-600FN spreading machine

Introduction

It is suitable for all types of fabric and


offer multiple functions and specialized
for both knit and woven fabric. It is an one
man operation which saves manpower and
enhances work efficiency. It has dual
material feeding system which eliminates
stretches. The accurate length wise
spreading and the photoelectric automatic
edge alignment function provide even edge
and save more wastage of fabric than manual
spreading. An adjustable tension control system provides synchronized material-feeding and cloth catch.

Technical Specifications:

Spreading speed 97m/min.

Spreading height 20cm

Passing height 23cm

Longitudinal edge accuracy: ±3mm.

End edge accuracy ±2mm.

Diameter of cloth roll 50cm

Weight of cloth roll 80kgs

Maintenance Schedule (Based on conditional /breakdown maintenance)


(Sir, we don’t get any user manual and preventive maintenance plan for automatic spreader machine.)

 When Catchers are unable to catch the cloth:

1. In case of zigzag spreading, check whether the contact surfaces of catcher needle plate and sway

needle are parallel.

2. Please apply one drop of general purpose oil at the catchers and wipe it
to keep it lubricated

3. Ensure that the contact between needle plate and galvanized iron plate
is smooth and even

4. Check whether screws in the catcher arms turned loose. Fasten with tools.

 Elevator plate cannot slide smoothly up or down, and the


slow motion needs to be aided by hand:

1. This is caused by the cotton waste inside the elevator


rail. Do not lubricate as it will cause further deposition
of waste.

2. Use air compressor to spray air for cleaning.

 Material feeding not smooth:

1. Please check whether the set screws at the two ends of the material feeding rollers are fastened.

 Material feeding appears to be inclined loose on one side while tense


on the other:

1. It is caused by uneven distance between the material feeding

roller and material pressing roller.

 Re-adjust it.

 Use lighter paper tube for material feeding in the material storage area to avoid too tight cloth.

 Adjustment of main frame chain inside the frame board should be done after every two months

Automatic Fabric Cutting Machine


EASTMAN M9000 Automatic cutting machine

Introduction

Eastman’s M9000 automated static table system is capable of cutting, marking, drilling and punching virtually
any flexible material at speeds of up to 60 inches per second (152.4 cm/sec.). The static cutting table has
proven itself as the go-to resource for materials like cotton, nylon and vinyl as well as difficult-to-cut
materials—such as polystyrene, and fiberglass-polyester blends. The static table system is available in a range
of system lengths and widths to meet the demands for prototypes, one-offs and full-production runs. The
system’s high-precision configuration features multi-axis motion for more defined and accurate cuts. Material
is spread across the static table by an operator or with the use of a pneumatic gripper bar. The open plenum
vacuum system design ensures evenly dispersed airflow for optimal material hold-down. This computer-
controlled system features zoning capabilities to enable cutting in one area while the operator is
simultaneously picking parts in
another, maximizing daily
production capacity.

Maintenance Schedule

Proper maintenance plan of M900 digital cutting system.You should allow 5 to 10 minutes for daily
inspection, 30 minutes for weekly inspection, one hour for monthly inspection. Time invested on
these tasks will minimize downtime due to machine problems. The following is a recommended
Maintenance Schedule:

Daily maintenance plan

 Daily inspect the machine and cutting table area. Look loose cables or other obstruc-tions that
may interfere with the machine movement and cutting.

 After switching on the computer and plotter carriage, start the plotter program. Check the X and
Y-axis for motor torque and backlash. If backlash is excessive on either axis, adjust as required.

 Check the pen lift. Pen should move smoothly up and down. Ensure pen is seated properly in
mount,

 Check tool head. that tools are securely fastened to tool shaft. If the round knife blade is installed
check that the blade mount rotates freely.
 Check the blade mounts for excessive side to side play.
 At the end of each work session make sure to turn both the computer and plotter carriage off

 Remove any CD's or floppy disks from disk drives and clean up scrap materials from the cutting

table.

Weekly maintenance plan

 Turn off gantry and computer at the disconnect and lock out power of the machine as per your
lock out procedures.

 Lubricate table rail linear bearings with Eastman lubricant 67-26324.

 Lubricate air reciprocating cylinder couplings using Eastman lubricant 67-26009.

 Lubricate reciprocating tool head shafts using Eastman lubricant 67-26009.

 Use a clean cloth to wipe down the Y-axis rails and lubricate.

 Tighten any loose fasteners on the carriage to specified torque values.

 Remove the cover from the Y-car to inspect the cutting head assembly.

 Rotate the tool holders by hand, they should rotate freely without any play relative to each holder
and the drive motor. If not, belt replacement or adjustment is required.

Monthly maintenance plan

 Turn off gantry and computer at the disconnect and lock out power of the machine
per your lock out procedures.

 Remove X-axis drive block covers.

 Use compressed air to remove any dust and debris from the drive block.

 Lubricate air cylinder couplings using Eastman lubricant 67-26009.

 Lubricate tool head shafts using Eastman lubricant 67-26009.

 Check drive belts for signs of wear such as cuts, frays, or missing teeth. Replace if
required.

 Check belt tension: Belts should be tight enough to eliminate excessive backlash
between the driving and driven pulley. Overly tight belts will wear faster and place
excessive loads on bearings.

 Check all shafts and pulleys. The pulleys should be seated tightly on the shafts. Check
pulleys set screws and tighten as needed to specified torque.

 Move plotter manually by pushing on the Y-carriage. X-axis drives require two
people. Carriage and drives should move with continuous smooth force. Listen and
feel for "hard" spots that will indicate a failed linear bearing.

 Check the X and Y-axis backlash (gear play). The X and Y-axis gear should be snug
against the x and y-axis rack. To adjusted backlash, loosen the rail x and y-car
backlash plate screws.

 Inspect carriage wheels for any material threads or debris wound up around the
wheel shafts. Checks wheels for debris and remove as needed.

 Check all electrical plug connections to ensure they are securely fastened.

 Check for unusual noises coming from blower assembly. If clicking or


grinding noises heard then call Eastman service technician.

Yearly maintenance plan

 Below is a recommended maintenance checklist for the M9000 static table.

 Check festoon mounting and roller track.

 Check festoon end stop and track splice.

 Check festoon trolley with webbing strap.

 Check X-axis cable festoon assembly (loose connection or wear in cables ): UIT

cable min AC power cable etc.

 Check slide bearing and bearing mounts

 Check emergency stop switch ,pause switch and wiring

 Oiling on pulley bearings and check wiring for 5 & 12 VDC power supply

 Secure all set screws like large pulley ,spun gear

 Grease 16mm bearing for all air cylinders and check z motor disconnected plug

 Inspect and oil plan lift bearing assembly.

 Examine cylinder motion

 Secure 3/8-16 1" Frame screws of static table


 Examine pores surface of table and PVC vacuum plumbing

 Calibrate M9000 and tools and save machine jobs and material files

 Upgrade software time to time
