Overview Axon EZ-130-HS Preventative Maintenance

Main Air Regulator

• Drain collector bowl

• Adjust the air pressure to the proper setting indicated on the Equipment Parameter Sheet

Pull Roll Assembly

• Clean the drive rollers with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Remove the film. Use a clean cloth and scrub the rollers while rotating the manual film feed knob. Do not allow alcohol to come in contact with the suction cups.

• Clean all other film contact surfaces (idler rollers, film unwind arm, etc.) with 70% isopropyl alcohol

• Lubricate the knife blades using a cloth soaked in a food-grade type oil.Make sure not to get any oil on the suction cups.

• Inspect knife springs for damage

• Inspect suction cups for wear. Replace as needed, making sure to scuff the face of all new suction cups with a Scotch-Brite pad or fine-grade emery cloth.

• Make sure all flow control adjustments are tight

Bullet

• Inspect the feet of the bullet for excessive wear. No more than 3/16” radius is permitted. Contact Axon to order additional bullets as needed.

• Check for shiny areas on the bullet. Over time, the film will buff the bullet edges smooth, causing the film to adhere to these areas and not advance properly. Using a Scotch-Brite pad or fine-grade emery cloth, scuff the film contact areas as needed.

• Make sure that the bullet is properly adjusted for the film being used. Refer to the Chapter 7.3 for detailed information.

Pull Roll Assembly

• Inspect all hardware for looseness or fatigue. Tighten or replace as needed. As a rule, serviceable thread-lock should be installed to hardware that does not contain a lock-washer.

• Check knife blades for proper cut. See Chapter 7.4.2.1 for proper adjustment.

• Check all air lines for debris. Replace tubing as needed. Debris in air lines may be an indication that a cylinder or solenoid valve may be bad.

• Check all cylinders for leaking seals or binding. Rebuild or replace the cylinders as needed.

• Override all solenoids to ensure proper operation. Sluggish moving cylinders should be inspected for seal failure. If the cylinder appears to be fine, replace the solenoid valve and test.

• Inspect all tensioner pads for wear. Replace as needed.

• Inspect vacuum generator. Remove the air fitting from the front of the vacuum generator and remove any debris. For extremely clogged generators, remove from the tooling plate and use compressed air to further remove debris.

• Check the drive rollers for wear. See Chapter 11.0 for the proper procedure for checking the drive rollers.
