Safety Information for TRC-1000 Strip Cutters

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TRC 1000 Strip cutter. TRC Industries has been

manufacturing and servicing the TRC 1000 series strip cutters since 1993. These cutters are

solidly built, easy to use machines that will last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

They are still machines however, and great care must be taken to ensure safe and satisfactory

operation. The following Safety information should be read and understood before attempting

to operate machine. Careless operation can lead to injury and downtime.

1. Make sure the outlet that supplies electricity to your TRC-1000 is properly wired,

grounded and overload protected. We recommend checking with a qualified

electrician when sizing breakers, as your individual needs may vary. The TRC 1000 series

uses less than 10 amps of current.

2. The Cutter Head and Control Panel should be placed on a sturdy table free from

wobble or other movement.

3. Care should be taken with loose fitting sleeves and long hair when around the cutting

unit's feed rollers.

4. Unit should be disconnected from the electrical and air supply before any service work

is performed.

5. Unit should be allowed to cool off for a minimum of 2 hours before any service work is

performed.

6. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform maintenance or repairs.

7. Unit should not be operated without air regulator.

8. Material should be removed from cutting unit when not in operation. This prevents

material from overheating, melting, or warping and contacting hot parts of the

machine.

9. Thermostat should be turned to the OFF position when not in operation. The hot knife

blade and block temperature will exceed 900 degrees F.

10. Metal tools absolutely not be used to unjam cutter or knife when unit is connected to

electricity.

11. Bare wires and connections should be immediately repaired or replaced before

operation continues.

12. Only factory recommended replacement parts should be used on the TRC-1000.

Model Identification

All the cutters in our first generation of cutting machines (spanning from 1993 until the time of

this publication) are part of the “TRC 1000 Series.” Model numbers beginning with the “HC”

designation are Hot Cutters. Models beginning with the “CC” Designation are cold cutters. The

following digits, either a “4” or a 7” identifies the machine as either a 4.5” or a 7” cutter,

respectively. The next two letters, either a “CS” or “VS” identify the controller unit as either a

Constant Speed or a Variable Speed controller.

Therefore, “TRC 1000 CC4-VS” would identify a 1000 Series Cold Cutter, 4.5” cutter, with a

Variable Speed Controller. Similarly, “TRC 1000 HC7-CS” would identify a 1000 series Hot cutter

in 7” cutting capacity with a Constant Speed Control panel.

It is worth noting that Cutter Heads can be used with either Variable Speed (VS) Controllers or

Constant Speed (CS) Control Panels.

Other Identifiers that may be used include the following:

•AA –Alternating Angle Model

•ICO –Integrated Cutoff Switch Equipped Model

•HT –High Torque Model

•MA –Marking Attachment Equipped Model

TRC Industries has produced more custom machines than we can count. If you have a

question about the specific model you have, or if you are interested in buying a machine

second hand, give us a call and we call help walk you through what features are included.

Nomenclature

Throughout this manual we will be referring to sides of the machine as well as its parts. The

diagrams below should be used as a reference to help the instructions in this manual easier to

understand. We will use the terms “infeed side” and “outfeed side” as well as “motor side”

throughout this manual.

Figure 1: The side view of this cold cutter is representative of the HC4, HC7, CC4, and CC7 cutters, with some minor

differences between the hot and cold cutter models. Note the side facing the reader is opposite the motor side of

the cutter.

Setting Up and Using your new TRC 1000 Series Strip Cutters

Model HC4 and HC7 Setup

1. Place control panel and cutter on a flat table with the back of the control panel facing

the side of the cutter. Plug the black heater cord cable from the cutter into the control panel.

Next, connect the control panel to the cutter using the grey control cable. Plug the power

cord into the fused power receptacle on the control panel and the other end into a standard

120V single phase receptacle.

BE SURE ALL CABLES ARE SECURELY FASTENED BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER!

2. Connect the air regulator to the cutter head via the press to lock fittings. Set the air

supply pressure at 40 PSI. If connected correctly the blade carrier should move to the up-

stroke position.

3. Set the roll stand on the infeed side of the cutter and line it up with the guides. Place

one plastic disk on the roll stand shaft, then feed webbing roll on to shaft so webbing rolls off

the top side of the roll. Place the other plastic disk on the roll stand and put the roll holder

collar lightly against the disk. tighten the thumb screw lightly. If the webbing does not turn

freely, loosen the roll holder a little.

Start Up Procedures

•While the machine is cold, adjust the guide strips to fit the webbing you are using. Do

not make it too tight as to cause drag on the webbing. The guide strips are there to

simply funnel the material towards the rollers (figure 2).

Figure 2: view from the infeed side of the machine, with feed guides visible.

•Turn master switch to the ON position.

•Set the temperature control knob to 3 and allow 10 - 15 min. for the knife to heat up.

The first few times the machine is heated up, the machine may emit the smell of hot oil.

This is normal.

•Feed the webbing through the guides and push it up to the feed rollers and then push

the FEED JOG button on the control panel. This will take the webbing through the feed

rollers. Take the webbing past the rollers an inch or so. You can also put the webbing

through the rollers by pushing down on the black knob and lifting the rollers and

pushing the webbing through.

Note: If your machine is equipped with the optional cutoff switch, you must feed material

under the trip rod before the guides.

NEVER ALLOW THE KNIFE TO BECOME RED HOT AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE WEBBING TO CATCH ON

FIRE.

Use just enough heat to cut the webbing. You will have to experiment with the webbing you

are using to find the exact temperature that works best.

Each cutter

comes

standard with

three sets of

guides, as

seen here.

Keyboard Commands

FEED JOG Allows you to manually operate the feed rollers

KNIFE JOG Allows you to manually operate the knife

RE-SET Allows you to clear the machine and start a new program

STOP Allows you to stop the machine and save all data in the memory. The STOP function

Also allows you to clear a data entry while programming –for example, if an incorrect value

was entered for length or cut time.

ENTER Allows you to enter program data

Feed Rate

Figure 3

When the control panel is turned on the loading screen and version number will be displayed.

The next series of prompts will be cut settings. The first prompt will be for feed rate. "FEED RATE

5-22 " (figure 3) will appear on the LCD. This will determine how fast the material will feed

through the machine, in inches. While our machines can feed up to 22 inches per second, the

speed required to run the machine successfully will largely be determined by the material

being cut. We recommend starting somewhere in the middle and working up if necessary.

Older machines may not have variable speed, in which case this prompt will be omitted. Type

in the desired speed and press ENTER.
