Chapter RC-1000 & RC-110101 Roving Cutter Instructions 2 RC-1000 The RC-1000 cutter was designed to cut glass roving into short lengths of 1/2” to 4”, and dispense it into a resin fan. When properly adjusted, the chopped glass will be spread out evenly from edge to edge of the resin pattern. Also, the glass/resin mixture on the part will need a minimum amount of rolling. AIR REQUIREMENTS The RC-1000 requires 15 CFM of clean, filtered air at a minimum of 90 PSI to operate efficiently. The air supply hose must have a minimum 5/16” inside diameter for a 25-foot hose. A longer hose may need a larger inside diameter. Lower air pressures or smaller hose could result in poor operation. OPERATION To introduce roving to the cutter, double up the end of roving and insert into one of the three holes in the feed bar on top of the cutter. The motor control knob on the bottom of the manifold assembly should be opened about a full turn out. The blower control knob on the side should be about 1/2 turn out at the beginneing. Pull trigger and glass will be dispensed into the resin fan. The blower control keeps air moving through the chopper cover to help keep it from plugging. By opening or closing the motor control knob, the glass output will increase or decrease accordingly. Adjust both motor control and blower control to produce the desired output and pattern. ADJUSTMENTS Idler Bearing: With glass roving in place, idler should hold glass against the anvil sleeve. Excessive tension may cause the glass to wrap around the idler bearing. Adjustments are accomplished by loosening the idler bolt, rotating the eccentric nut and then retightening. Air Motor: The air motor on your cutter is precision built and with proper care, under normal operation, will last hundreds of hours of continuous use. It is important that this motor be lubricated at the end of each working shift. Lubrication is best accomplished by removing the motor speed control valve, and inserting 8 drops of a lightweight oil. Replace needle valve and run the cutter for approximately five seconds. It is not necessary to cut glass curing this time. The clearances of this motor are extremely critical. For this reason, it is advisable that the motor be sent to an authorized distributor for repair. The warranty is void if this motor is opened by any except factory-authorized repair centers. Cutter Adjustment: The glass should enter the resin fan as soon as possible without excessive glass fallout. Normally, if the glass enters the resin when the glass pattern and resin pattern are about the same width it will give the best resluts. This is achieved by centering the glass pattern by moving the cutter left or right -- forward or backward. DISASSEMBLY OF CUTTER Remove the air motor and manifold assembly by first removing the snap ring and anvil sleeve. Then loosen screw and the motor and manifold will slide out of the backplate. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FORCE MOTOR OUT. If frozen, a slight pressure with a screwdriver between the motor and backplate will do fine. To remove blower and motor control manifold will then drop free from the air motor. Cutterhead and idler bearing can be taken off of the backplate by unscrewing their hold down bolts from the corresponding eccentric nuts. BLADE REPLACEMENT The cutter comes from the factory set to cut 1-inch lengths of glass rovings by using for evenly spaced blades inserted in the cutting head assembly. There are slots ever 1/2-inch on the cutting head. By inserting or removing blades you can vary the length of cut for different applications. However, the 1-inch length is the most popular length used. To replace cutting blades, pry out the blad retainer and spring using a small screwdriver. The old blade will fall free of the slot when this is done. When inserting the new blades, be sure that they are on the front side of the slot, then insert retaining bar. Finally, insert the retaining spring. This is accomplished by using a pair of needle nose pliers. WARNING: Use caution to prevent cuts as these blades are razor sharp! Chapter RC-1101-1 Air Motor 3 RC-1101-1 ASSEMBLY OF AIR MOTOR 1. Remove Burrs: With fine file or emery cloth. 2. End Clearance: Average end clearance .0015” to .002”. To get end clearance take micrometer reading of body minust micrometer readin gof rotor assembly, add gaskets (if needed) to get required clearance, assemble air motor with gaskets on both drive and dead end. 3. Select End Plate (Drive): End plate with no threads in hub. 4. Assemble Rotor and End Plate (Drive): Position bearing on shaft and with bearing pusher, press bearing into end plate hub. 5. Assemble Bearing: Position bearing on shaft and with bearing pusher, press bearing into end plate hub. 6. Position Rotor Assembly: Using inner-race tapper, tap inner-race of bearing until slight drag between end plate and rotor assembly. 7. Position Body: Long port is exhaust, small hole drilled through body, intersecting hole drilled from top is intake. For clockwise rotation small hole is on your right. For counterclockwise rotation small hole is on your left. 8. Assemble Gasket (Drive): Take approximate 1/2 total gasket needed for end clearance. Assemble on drive end, hold in position with few drops of oil, punch hole in gasket over air passage. 9. Assemble End Plate, Rotor and Body: Position end plate and rotor in body, over gasket, assemble screws, snug, oil hole in end plate to top of body. 10. Top Clearance: Place parts in align-up fixture, resting on hub. Using a .0015” shim, have a snug fit between tightest segment and top of body. 11. Assemble Vanes: With angle on vane toward shaft. 12. Assemble Gasket (Dead): Take balance of fasket from overall clearance, hold in position with few drops of oil. Punch hole in gasket over air passage. 13. Select End Plate (Dead): End plate with threads in hub. When assembled, kidney ports in end plates must be on intake side. 14. Assemble End Plate (Dead): Position end plate over shaft, place on body, assemble screws, snug, loosen one turn. 15. Assemble Bearing: Place bearing on shaft, using bearing pusher, position bearing in end plate. 16. Check Movement of End Plate: End plate must move back and forth. If no movement, top clearance is not in center-reset top clearance. If moves, snug screws, remove from fixture, tighten screws. 17. Adjust End Clearance: Rotor is snug against drive end plate. Using inner-race tapper, tap innerrace of bearing (very lightly) in dead end plate until rotor is free. Push and turn, pull and turn, until no drag on either end plate. For finer adjustment start air motor, adjust by sound. 18. Assemble Seal: Press into end plate, small amount of grease on seal. 19. Assemble End Cap: Into end plate. 20. Test Air Motor: For normal duties. Chapter Cautions and Warnings 4 AIRLESS EQUIPMENT SAFETY Injection Hazard • DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT ANY PERSON • NEVER LOOK AT THE GUN FROM THE FRONT (NOZZLE END) • NEVER trigger an airless gun while it is aimed at a person. The hydraulic pressure may inject fluid into the flesh, causing injury or death. If the fluid penetrates the skill it WILL cause serious injury. Clothing, such as gloves will NOT provide protection. The system is capable of fluid pressure high enough to cause a LETHAL INJECTION. • TREAT THE APPLICATOR AS YOU WOULD A LOADED WEAPON. Before applying pressure to the system, ALWAYS: • Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and maximum pressure recommendations. • Secure the trigger in the OFF position and check all pressure connections. • Use grounded, high pressure fluid lines. • Check that the pump is properly grounded. Before disassembly of ANY part of the pressure system (including the applicator or its nozzle) ALWAYS: • Shut the pump OFF. • Discharge the residual fluid and pressure from the applicator. • Secure the trigger in the OFF position. Follow these same three procedures anytime that operation is discontinued. Do NOT undertake any of the following until pressure is relieved from the entire system: • Loosen or remove the nozzle. • Disassemble any part of the applicator. • Loosen or disconnect any fluid line fittings. • Disassemble any part of the pump. Be sure that the power to the pump is OFF before undertaking ANY repair, maintenance or adjustment. If it is necessary to adjust or clean the nozzle on site, be sure that it is aimed away from all personnel so that it may discharge safely if there is residual pressure in the system. Do NOT use any replacement part that does not meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Correct packing or valve seal leaks IMMEDIATELY. Frequently check the condition of all pressurized components, especailly fluid lines. Replace worn lines and parts before they fail. If nozzle clogging occurs frequently, use a fluid filter with proper mesh size. PUMPING SYSTEM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use MVP replacement parts to assure compatible pressure rating. Read ALL warning and safety instructions carefully before operation of this unit. Heed all warnings. WARNING Never allow any part of the human body to come in front of, or in direct contact with, the material outlet. Accidental operation of the pump could cause an injection into the flesh. If injection occurs, medical aid must be immediately obtained from a physician. Component Rupture: This unit is capable of producing high fluid pressure as stated on the pump model plate. To avoid component rupture, and possible injury, do not exceed 75 cycles per minute or operate at an air inlet pressure greater than 150 PSI (10 bar). Servicing: Before servicing, cleaning or removing any component, ALWAYS disconnect or shut off power source and carefully relieve all fluid pressure from the system. CAUTION: When pumping, flushing or recirculating volatile solvents, the area must be adequately ventilated. CAUTION: Materials and solvent being pumped must be compatible with the parts of the pump that becomes wetted when in contact with material or solvent. Wetted parts consist of the following: stainless steel, copper, brass, steel, gray iron, leather, teflon and vellumoid. CAUTION: Keep solvents away from heat, sparks and open flames. Keep containers closed when not in use. Prevent Static Sparking: If static sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result. The pump, dispensing valve, and containers must be grounded when handling flammable fluids shuch as solvents, paints, lacquers, etc., and wherever discharge of static electricity is a hazard. Use grounded hoses (static wire) and be sure the object being serviced is grounded if it can produce a static charge. Continuity (a good static wire connection) of a hose can be checked by using an ohmmeter. Place one prove on one hose fitting and the other probe on the other hose fitting, continuity or proper grounding through hose is good when a reading is obtained on the ohmmeter. Air and Lube Requirements: Excessive air pressure will shorten the life of the pump. Do not operate pump above recommended maximum air pressure. If necessary, an air regulator should be installed to maintain the desired pressure when the pump is in operation. Filtered and oiled air will allow the pump to operate more efficiently and yield a longer life to operating parts and mechanisms. Keep oiler supplied with MVP Pump Motor Oil. A filter capable of filtering particles larger than 50 microns should be used with an oiler. Maintenance: If the pump is to be inoperative for a lengthy period of time (even for a few hours) disconnect air and relieve all pressure from system. Periodically flush pump with a solvent that is compatible with the material being pumped. Pour a little throat seal lubricant into the solvent cup to keep upper packings pliable and to keep material drag-thru soft. Material drag-thru that is allowed to harden, will scour the piston rod. This will create excessive leakage and rapid packing wear. Disassembly should be done on a clean work bench with clean cloths to keep parts clean. If replacement parts are necessary, consult Parts List for identification. Before assembling, lubricate parts where required. When assembling O-rings, or parts adjacent to O-rings, care must be excercised to prevent damage to O-ring and O-ring groove surfaces.
