Model IK10 Pre-Stripper OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SET-UP Unpack the machine and place it on a solid bench with keypad facing the bench edge. Securely fasten the stripper to a stable surface in line with and as close as possible to a coil winder. There are four 17/64 mounting holes to fasten the unit to a bench. Initial set up and blade installation should be made before connecting unit to a coil winder. Do not connect to air or electricity at this time. Caution: Environmental conditions for proper operation should be 50-104 F (10 C-40 C) and 30-75% relative humidity. The operation of the IK10 should be in a well ventilated clean environment. This machine is rated for continuous use and is protected with one fuse located in the IEC connector. INSTALLATION OF STRIPPING BLADES Blades for the IK10 must be purchased separately (see ordering information for more details). NOTE: It is very important that the proper blades are used for different wire types and sizes to ensure maximum results. See blade selection ordering information for proper blade selection. The IK10 is shipped with the spider (blade holder) attached to the unit. The garter spring, two Allen wrenches and a remote activation plug are packaged separately in a plastic bag. Before beginning write down the number etched on the side of the blades for use in blade calibration. Open the clear plastic guard covering the spider and shaft. Loosen the four set screws on the front of the spider. Remove the four blade pivot pins from the spider. Position one stripping blade in any of the four slots of the spider, making certain the carbide cutting tip points to the center of the spider. Align the hole in the center of the stripping blade with the hole in the spider. Insert the blade pivot pin fully into spider and tighten set screw. Repeat three times to install the remaining blades. Install the garter spring around the bottom of the blades in the retaining groove. The garter spring holds the blades open. Close the blade guard. Adjusting Wire Guide If the wire guides need to be enlarged open the blade guard to access the guide. Open the blades by turning the knob on the stepper motor and loosen set screw in shaft to remove metal guide. Slide the guide to the left until the front of guide is through the hole in the clear plastic guard. Shift the rear of the guide up between the blades. Using smooth pliers grasp the nylon exit bushing on the front of the gripper and pull out of the gripper plate. Remove the four screws that hold the pedestal guard in place and remove the cover. Pull the rear bushing out of the spindle. Using the Allen wrench provided loosen the set screw that holds the wire guide in the spindle. Manually close 2 of the blades until they are almost touching. Slide the wire guide to the left so it is close to the back of the stripping blades. Be sure the blades will not hit the guide when the blades are in the fully closed position as this could damage the blades by chipping the carbide tips. NOTE: When drilling the bushings care should be taken not to raise burrs that could hinder assembly or damage the wire. LOADING THE WIRE Place the wire to be stripped on the right end of the machine. It is recommended that an Eraser dereeler is used to provide easy and level dereeling of wire through the machine. Consult our website for dereeling equipment. Insert the wire through the rear guide bushing, spindle assembly, stripping blades, gripper and exit bushing until it extends approximately 6 beyond the exit bushing. If material is difficult to get through the spindle assembly spin the blades towards you. This will allow material to pass more easily. CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. USE GUARDING PROVIDED ON THE MACHINE FOR SAFE OPERA- TION. STARTING MACHINE Select direction of rotation by pressing the rocker switch on the back of the unit. The IK10 can rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise, as viewed from the left hand end of the unit looking at the blades. Ensure that the blade guard is closed and connect the machine to the appropriate power and air sources. The machine requires either 115V, 60Hz(Model AR 0991) or 220V, 50Hz electrical power and a minimum of 60 PSI of dry, lubricated compressed air. The customer must provide a fitting with 1/8 male pipe thread to connect the compressed air. The connecting pipefitting will screw into the female air fitting on the rear of the unit. NOTE: The main cylinder airflow control valve on the left of the unit with the graduated scale controls the amount of pressure that goes to the gripping mechanism. The

air pressure is preset at the factory. If the amount of gripping force is undesirable pull gently on the knob to release the lock, turn clockwise or counterclockwise until desired pressure is reached. Turn the machine on using the small switch located on the IEC connector on the back of the machine. The machine will activate and the blades and the table will move to their home positions. The table in its home position is all the way forward and the blades in their home position are all the way open. Calibrate the blades. CALIBRATION OF STRIPPING BLADES After machine goes through the start up procedure the keypad screen will read SELECT BATCH. To calibrate the blades: 1. Press the SETUP the screen will display a batch sequence. 2. Press the ENTER the screen will read ANY KEY TO START CALIBRATION. 3. Press CLOSE the screen will read BLADE 0 ADJUST TO WIRE. If the machine was previously calibrated the screen will read CLOSE MOVES TO (previous wire size in steps). 4. Press CLOSE the blades will close. If you hold the close key the blades will close rapidly. If you repeatedly press the close key the blades will close in steps. When the blade tips come close to the wire, it is recommended you use the step method. Each step is 0.0002 on the diameter. Example: blades at their home position are 0 steps, by increasing the number of steps closes the blades accordingly. (The higher the number of steps, the smaller diameter wire will be stripped.) 5. While holding on to the wire from the other side of the gripper, pull the wire slowly while pressing CLOSE using the step method until the wire begins to be stripped by the stripping blades. 6. When the desired strip is reached press ENTER the screen will read BLADE (blade size in steps) ADJUST TO CLEAR. 7. Press OPEN until the desired clearance diameter is reached. Clearance diameter should only be 75-100 steps (.015-.020) bigger than the wire size. 8. Press ENTER the screen will read BLADE LAND 0.00 Enter in the land of the blades that are installed in the machine. The first four numbers etched on the blades will tell you the size of the land. Refer to the numbers written down earler during blade installation and the chart belcow. 800.6 = 0.0625 land 800.3 = 0.0312 land 800.1 = 0.010 land 9. Press ENTER the blades will return to the home position and the screen will read SELECT BATCH. PROGRAMMING 1. After the blades are calibrated select batch 1 by pressing ENTER A batch sequence will be displayed. 2. Choose a unit of measure by pressing OPEN to toggle between inches and millimeters. 3. Press ENTER Enter the desired strip length. 4. Press ENTER Choose a feed rate 1-5. Feed rates are preset at the factory, if the feed rates are not sufficient please contact your sales representative for assistance. 5. Press RUN W will be displayed in the upper right of the screen. This means the machine is waiting for an exterior signal from the coil winder or cutting mechanism. 6. Press RUN again to run a cycle to ensure depth of cut is sufficient. If the strip quality is insufficient repeat the blade calibration procedure. When the proper quality is achieved attach the remote activation plug. REMOTE ACTIVATION OF STRIPPER The remote activation plug is packaged separately in a plastic bag. This option should be set up prior to loading the wire into the machine. On the back left of the machine is a jack to provide easy connection to the strip switch of a coil winder. The plug is provided for use with this jack. Brief closure of contact points is all that is required. If closure is maintained the unit will continue to cycle. See chart below for wiring sequence. For wiring information refer to electrical interface guidelines section of this manual. Pin 1 = Start input Pin 2 = Start input low Pin 3 = 12V Pin 4 = Done output Pin 5 = External supply 5V-24V Pin 6 = External ground or Board ground. OPERATION The unit is now ready to attach to your coil winder and begin production.

INSULATION PARTICLE REMOVAL On the back of the blade guard assembly is a hose nozzle to accept a dust collection system to remove insulation particles. (See Dust Vacuum section of the Eraser Company website for suitable dust collection units.) On the front of the blade guard assembly, there is a nozzle assembly, which supplies a jet of air to the cutting surface of the stripping blades to help keep these surfaces clean. On the left rear side of the machine there is a finger valve protruding through the cover, this valve controls the amount of air going to the air blast nozzle. MAINTENANCE Caution: Remove mains power source prior to servicing the machine. 1. Rotate bushings if grooves appear. 2. Change stripping blades when they become dull. Return to factory in sets of four for precision sharpening. You can double the blade life by reversing the rotation of the motor after one side of the blade set gets dull. 3. Keep blades as clean as possible at pivot point in spider. 4. Lubricate spindle with lightweight oil in accordance with usage. 5. Keep unit as clean as possible. If needed remove mains power supply and wipe down machine with dry cloth. 6. Place a few drops of oil on the linkage connecting to thrust block and spindle. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM All insulation is not being removed SOLUTIONS 1. Make sure wire is being pulled straight through machine. 2. Check the sharpness of the blades. 3. Make sure all four blades contact the wire at once. 4. Adjust blade depth lower. See CALIBRA- TION OF STRIPPING BLADES earlier. 5.Make sure all four blades are part of a set (the same identification numbers on them). If blades are mismatched, strip quality will be adversely affected. PROBLEM Some of the wire is being removed along with the insulation. SOLUTION 1. Blade depth set too low. See CALIBRATION OF STRIPPING BLADE section. 2. Make sure the wire is straight, no twists or bends. See Eraser website for information on Eraser model WS1 Wire Straightener. PROBLEM Wire Twists SOLUTIONS 1.Check wire guide for proper fit to conductor being stripped. 2. Lower blade depth. 3. Check that blade is not dull. 4. Check that motor rotation is same as lay of wire being stripped. PROBLEM Wire cuts off SOLUTIONS 1. Raise or Lower blade depth. 2. Check that motor rotation is the same as the lay of the strands in the wire being stripped. 3. Check to see if the blade are chipped or dull.

Electrical Interface Guidelines The IK10 provides for a start input signal and a done output signal to the host coil winder machine. Both signals can be interfaced in 2 different ways. The signals are available at the interface receptacle [located on the back of the machine, next to the IEC power entry module, an audio connector type]. A mating 6 pin plug is provided with IK10 so that any wiring arrangement can be accommodated. This connector corresponds to the J15 header on the controller board. The pin designations are as follows: Pin# designation description 1 Start input (high) High voltage initiates cycle LED 6 corresponds to this signal (LED on-pin1 high) 2 Start input (low) External voltage source low 3 Internal +24V Source for contact closure input and internal source for done signal 4 Done signal Goes high when stripping complete 5 Done (+) Internal [from pin 3] or external voltage source (+) 6 Done (-) Done return signal Table 1 When setting up the IK10 for start input and done output signal, the end user needs to decide if an internal or external source is to be used with either signal. Both start input and done output can have an external voltage source, both may have the internal 24V source or a combination is possible. Three jumpers on the controller board are used to program these options [J19, J20 and J21]. Refer to figure 1 for the jumper locations.
