5 . Introduction a. The Rolsplicer machine is designed to produce chord splices with 2 x 3, 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber. Continuous splicing without clamping, in seconds rather than minutes, is possible with this technically advanced machine. The unique double roll design consistently produces the tightest possible splices. b. Although the machine is ruggedly, but simply designed, following prescribed operational and maintenance procedures will assure optimum production for the maximum period of time. These procedures are outlined in this manual. c. Appropriate safety guards and switches are provided for the protection of the operator. Nevertheless, it is necessary for all operating procedures to be followed exactly as specified. WARNING EQUIPMENT MUST NEVER BE OPERATED WITH SAFETY COVERS REMOVED. TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. d. This manual is a guide for operating, cleaning, lubricating, inspecting and adjusting the Rolsplicer. Strict adherence to these procedures will ensure an efficient operation and optimum utilization of the machine. Rolsplicer Data Floor Space 6 feet x 55 feet (maximum anticipated for longer splices) Machine Size 38 inches x 52 inches x working height Machine Weight,500 pounds (approximate) Power Required Refer to name plate data on motor Lumber Feed Rate Up to 720 splices per hour Lumber Size 2 x 3, 2 x 4, 2 x 6 2. Rolsplicer Description a. A 3 HP gear motor, installed in a horizontal position, provides power. The motor nameplate includes wiring data. In any case, local electrical codes provide guidelines for hook-up of electrical equipment. b. Compressed air is used to operate the lumber hold down lid and splice plate clamps. Four inserts with wheels pressing on the lumber are part of the lid. They can be adjusted to accommodate the three lumber sizes for which the machine was designed. (Figure ) c. Our mechanically driven, synchronized half rollers in two sets run simultaneously. These connect to a chain and sprocket system mounted at the opposite ends of four shafts. The sprockets are mounted in bushings, while the rollers are mounted in flanged bearings. (Figure 2)

7 d. Heavy steel plate sides are secured with screws on all four sides of the welded steel frame. Safety covers on each side of the top protect the operator form possible injury. Operating buttons are located on the top safety cover on the operator s side. Adjustment wheels for controlling roller pressure are positioned on the side cover where the operator stands. 3. Operating Instructions a. General All individuals assigned as operators for the Rolsplicer should read this manual prior to training. This will enable operators to familiarize themselves with the machine quickly and thus become proficient with its operation in the minimum time. b. Operating Controls Before attempting to operate the Rolsplicer, operators must know the location and function of each control. Figure 3 shows location of controls. c. Operating Rolsplicer for the First Time (Figure 3) Prior to any production, the following must be done: () Connect incoming power to the exterior control box. (2) Place power disconnect in the ON Position (3) Plug compressed air supply into the rear of the machine. Although operating pressure should be approximately 90 PSI, it may be necessary to adjust so the hold down lid operates without excess shock.

9 CAUTION WHEN COMPRESSED AIR HOSE IS ATTACHED, LUMBER HOLD DOWN LID WILL OPEN. d. Roller Adjustment (Figures 2 and 3) () Bring the press and push rollers into position by means of the jog button at the side of the machine. This starting will move the rollers into position independently of the normal cycle sequence. (2) With the lumber hold down lid open, place a representative piece of lumber in position between the rollers. (3) Loosen the two locknuts on the hand wheel shafts at the front of the machine. (4) Adjust the rollers by turning the hand wheels. Tightness should be as follows: (a) (b) Plate press rollers set for slip fit. Push rollers must be very tight to drive the lumber forward during the operating cycle. (5) Tighten the locknuts on the hand wheel shafts. Push the jog button again to move the rollers into the beginning position so the machine is again in normal sequence and ready for production. (6) Repeat the above procedure if additional adjustment is necessary. (7) Adjust mounting bracket weldment arm to provide from.030 to.050 tolerance with mini-valve cut-off switch. (Figure 8) (8) To set up for 2 x 6 lumber, turn the adjustment nuts clockwise on top of the four lumber hold down wheel assemblies until the nut stops. Do not force these adjusters past their stopping point. e. Automatic Lid Speed Adjustment (Figure 5) () Opening and closing speeds of the lid are pre-set at the factory for safe operation. However, some adjustment may be necessary or desirable.

10 (2) Two airflow control valves are located on the lid-driving cylinder. One each for opening and closing speed. To adjust these speeds, loosen the tiny locknut on the appropriate valve. Turn clockwise for slower operation or counter-clockwise for faster operation. Be sure to TIGHTEN LOCKNUT after adjustment, since increasing lid operation speed can create a safety hazard. Adjustment is manual, according to the numbers stamped on the top. Figure 9

13 f. Splicing Sequence (Figure 6) () Place the two chords to be spliced in the machine as shown in the illustration, centering the trailing edge of the first piece in the connector holding brackets. Position the second piece against the front piece, although they can be separated by as much as ½ inch. (2) Insert the connector plates into the connecting plate holding brackets, one on each side of the joint. (3) Place both hands, palm down, on control buttons. Push both buttons simultaneously to actuate the machine. (4) Push rollers will move trailing 2 x? to end of leading 2 x? with connector plates in position. (5) As lumber (chords) passes between press rollers, connector plates are embedded and splice is complete. Lumber hold down lid will open and completed splice is in view. Remove from machine and Rolsplicer is ready for the next splice. NOTE: Although one person can operate the Rolsplicer for many chord lengths, long chords require two persons to handle more easily. Connector plates not designed for roller application are unsuitable for use with this machine. 4. Cleaning, Lubrication and Inspection a. Regular maintenance should be provided on a routine, scheduled basis by shop personnel. Major items of concern include the following: () Cleaning to remove build-up dirt or other debris, which may cause jamming and/or binding of moving parts, chains and sprockets. (2) Lubrication to keep moving parts operating smoothly and reduce wear. (3) Inspection to detect problems of wear and breakdown before becoming major problems, which would prevent operation. b. A recommended schedule for cleaning, checking and lubrication is shown as Table I. CAUTION KEEP AREA UNDER MACHINE FREE FROM ALL DIRT, WOOD SCRAPS OR OTHER DEBRIS. ACCUMULATION OF FOREIGN MATTER MAY JAM THE CHAIN AND/OR SPROCKET, THUS CAUSING ROLSPLICER TO MALFUNCTION.

Loosen idler 2. Jump chain back into position 3. Put chain back on sprockets to point where push rollers are one () inch ahead of press rollers (link = inch) 4. Tighten idler to 35 pounds torque * It is recommended that both items be replace simultaneously

16 c. While cleaning and lubricating, look for signs for cracking, extreme wear, bending or breakage of chains, sprockets, bearings and basic structure. 5. Trouble Shooting and Repair a. Although the intent has been to design a low maintenance machine, breakdowns may occur. A systematic approach should be used to isolate the cause(s) and make repairs when a malfunction takes place. b. Table II outlines symptoms, possible causes and repair procedures. Following these recommendations should solve most problems. 6. Illustrated Parts List a.
