Introduction
Technical Specifications:
1. In case of zigzag spreading, check whether the contact surfaces of catcher needle plate and sway
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.
1. Please check whether the set screws at the two ends of the material feeding rollers are fastened.
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
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 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.
Turn off gantry and computer at the disconnect and lock out power of the machine as per your
lock out procedures.
Use a clean cloth to wipe down the Y-axis rails and lubricate.
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.
Turn off gantry and computer at the disconnect and lock out power of the machine
per your lock out procedures.
Use compressed air to remove any dust and debris from the drive block.
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 X-axis cable festoon assembly (loose connection or wear in cables ): UIT
Oiling on pulley bearings and check wiring for 5 & 12 VDC power supply
Grease 16mm bearing for all air cylinders and check z motor disconnected plug
Calibrate M9000 and tools and save machine jobs and material files
