Setting The Temperature - Virutex EB10C Manual De Instrucciones

The machine has a STOP-START switch M (Fig. 2) fitted on
the back. This switch provides protection against involuntary
starting-up of the machine, and also acts as the power
intake, the machine being connected to the mains by way
of an earthed extension cable with conductor cables of a
suitable type for a rated current of 16 A.
Place the preglued tape reel in the feeder F (Fig. 5), the
width of the tape matching the board to be edged. It is
advisable to choose a preglued tape whose width is 3 mm
greater than the board width.
Pass the end of the tape roll through the drawing rollers
N, via the channeler P (Fig. 1), the latter having been
preadjusted so that the tape slips through without jamming
and with consistent play.
Using knob R located on top of the feeder reel S (Fig. 1)
(Fig. 9), feed the tape through until it goes into the guides.
Using knob T (Fig. 9) located in the middle of the guides,
move the upper tape guide up or down until the tape runs
freely with the least possible play. The lower tape guide is
factory-set to provide enough excess material to enable
the board to be trimmed later on.
The EB10C model comes from the factory complete with
the motorized trimming unit, being necessary to adjust the
blades U (Fig. 7) when adjusting the tape width.
The control panel is located on the front of the machine,
and it has a heater starter switch X, which also turns on the
automatic edging-strip cutter. Button Y is for adjusting the
heater temperature (Fig. 1).
To prepare the machine for work, press the switch X (the
pilot light comes on) and set button Y to point 1 to stop
the temperature rising. Then feed the tape through until
the end comes out through the gluing roller Z (Fig. 8). Cut
the tape with the pedal, pressing the microswitch V (Fig.
8) with your hand, it being next to this roller, and remove
the cut-off section of the tape and the machine is now
ready for working.

6. SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

For faster temperature increase, set the electronic control
(Fig. 1) to number 7 on the adjustment scale. When it
reaches 300°C, turn the button to number 5 on the scale
and wait till the needle settles; then readjust to achieve the
temperature required by the preglued tape in use. When
purchasing the preglued tape ask the seller for the right
working temperature, since this depends on the type of
material used in the tape (melamine, wood, PVC, etc) and
on the glue with which it is impregnated.
7. STRAIGHT EDGES
The machine is factory-set for this kind of work, and all
that needs to be adjusted is the width of the tape and the
gluing temperature.
When the steps described in the sections "DESCRIPTION
AND START-UP" and "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE" have
been completed, proceed as follows (Fig. 8):
1. Adjust the extendable supporting section E (Fig. 1) until
the gripper I comes into action applying gentle pressure
on the side of the board. When working with boards that
are too large for the gripper, it should be removed and
remounted the wrong way round so as not to mislay it.
2. Fit the board into the guides A1 of the machine, resting
on the plate B1 (Fig. 8).
3. Feed the board through, pressing gently on the feeding
roller S, until the end of the tape appears in the gluing
roller Z (Fig. 8).
4. Press the gluing rollers C1 and maintain a constant feed
speed for perfect gluing (Fig. 1)
8. CIRCULAR EDGING
To make circular edging the trimming unit must first be
removed and the following adjustments made:
1. Loosen off the bolts D1 (Fig. 9), holding down the lower
tape guide E1, and lift the guide up until the preglued tape
comes out rubbing against the supporting section A1. In
this type of edging, there will only be excess strip on the
upper face of the board.
2. Loosen the knobs F1 on the front of the machine, and
move them in the direction indicated by the arrow in
such a way that the levers which work the end stops V are
hidden (Fig. 8).
3. For this type of edging, the pedal is needed in order to
be able to cut the tape freely.
4. Remove the gripper I (Fig. 2) by loosening the brackets
on the rear of the supporting section, fitting them on again
the wrong way round so as not to mislay them.
Having completed these adjustments, place the board where
the tape comes out at the gluing roller Z (Fig. 8). Feed the
tape through using the knob R of the feed roller N until a
piece of tape emerges in front of the gluing roller Z; then
press the board against the tape, move the board until it
comes up against the rubber rollers, and finish off the circle.
When it is nearly finished, the excess of tape has to be
estimated, the strip then being cut using the pedal (Fig. 1).
9. CURVED AND SHAPED EDGING
The adjustment operations described in the previous section
must be performed, and also the following additional ones:
1. Loosen the bolts holding down the supporting plate G1
(Fig. 1) on the left of the machine and, with the aid of its
recesses, remove that plate.
2. With the aid of a flat-edged screwdriver, remove the
safety ring fastening the rubber roller. Disassemble the roller
shaft, using a rod with a diameter of 5 mm, which is placed
in the hole of the shaft to unscrew it; then remove the
shaft and the washer. When these preparatory operations
have been completed, edging work can be commenced as
follows (Fig. 10):
Bring the wood up to the gluing roller Z and feed the tape
through using the knob R of the feed roller S. Press the
board against the gluing roller Z, following the shape of
the part being edged, until it is finished all the way around.
The tape is cut with the pedal control operated by the user.
10. PRESSER SET
The machine has a presser (Fig. 1) attached to the extendable
guide A, and it exerts sideways pressure on the board against
the feed roller.
