delish machine24. March, 20250

This guide will help you go from basic operation to proficient in barcode ribbon slitting.

First, introduction

1. Safety first

• Please read the manual carefully before operation and be familiar with the safe operation specifications of the equipment.

• Wear the necessary protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles.

• Make sure the equipment is well grounded to avoid the risk of electric shock.

• Never place your hands or other parts of your body near the blades and rotating parts while the machine is running.

2. Get to know the device

• Main components: unwinding shaft, winding shaft, guide roller, tension control system, slitting knife, control system, etc.

• Function: Slice large rolls of ribbon into small rolls of the desired width.

3. Basic operations

• Power on: Turn on the power and press the power switch.

• Loading: The large reel ribbon is mounted on the unwinding shaft and passed through the guide rollers and the tension control system.

• Set parameters: Set parameters such as slitting width, length, tension, etc. on the control panel.

• Start: Press the start button to start slitting.

• Rewinding: The slitted ribbon is wound on the reeling reel and stops automatically when the set length is reached.

• Unloading: Remove the small ribbons from the reel and pack them.

Second, advanced Chapter

1. Parameter optimization

• Slitting width: Set according to the requirements of the label printer.

• Slitting length: Set according to actual needs, generally slightly larger than the label length.

• Tension control: Too much tension can cause ribbon breakage, and too little can lead to uneven slitting.

• Slitting speed: Adjust according to the material and thickness of the ribbon, too fast will affect the slitting quality.

2. FAQ Handling

• Slitting unevenness: Check whether the blades are sharp, whether the tension is appropriate, and whether the guide rollers are parallel.

• Ribbon breakage: Check if the tension is too high and if the ribbon is damaged.

• Untidy winding: Check that the winding shaft is installed correctly and that the tension is even.

3. Maintenance

• Regular cleaning: Clean the surface and interior of the device from dust and toner.

• Lubrication Maintenance: Lubricate rotating parts regularly.

• Blade replacement: Replace the blade in time after passivation to ensure the quality of slitting.

Third, mastery

1. Advanced feature applications

• Automatic Deviation Correction: Automatically adjust the position of the ribbon to ensure the slitting accuracy.

• On-line detection: real-time detection of slitting quality and automatic rejection of defective products.

• Data statistics: Record production data for analysis and optimization.

2. Efficiency improvement

• Mass production: Arrange the production plan reasonably and reduce the time of material change.

• Automatic operation: Adopt automatic loading, unloading and other devices to improve production efficiency.

• Process optimization: Continuously optimize slitting parameters and operating processes to improve production efficiency and product quality.
