1.Machine set up
Power on the machine, ensure all switches are in the up position [figure 1.1]
Open the Veloblade software [figure 1.2]
If the feeder is needed please load the media onto the feed table. [figure 1.3]
Ensure the media has movement and the magnetic back stop and side lays are
not too tight. The position of the magnetic sides are important., these cannot
be past the red line shown in figure 3. The red line represents where the
movement of the feed head moves to pick up a sheet.

Once the material is loaded into the feeder press the green button and feed
table will move into position and the lights will illuminate [Figure 1.4].
If you require a roll of material cutting, remove all media from the feed table,
load the material onto the mandrel, put in the mandrel brackets and place the
idle bar in position [Figure 1.5]. Now thread the material around the idle bar
and place onto the cutting bed [Figure 1.6].

2. Tools and their positions
The tools used on the Veloblade Volta and their positions on the machine [see
figure 2.1 below for positions]:
Position 1
•PCTT –Crease tool
Position 2
•RCT –Rotary cutting tool [for materials up to 2mm]
Position 3
•PRCT –Pen tool
•RCT –Rotary cutting tool [in this position we use the RCT for kiss cutting]

RCT/PRCT:
Remove the locking the screw and cap [Figure 2.2] and place the tool in the
holder. Ensure the tool is pushed all the way into the holder to the lip on the
tool [Figure 2.3] and reattach the locking screw and cap.
For blade changing please see chapter 7.
PCTT:
To remove the crease tool pull down on the crease wheel [figure 2.4 & 2.5], to
reinsert place the wheel into the slots and push upwards [figure 2.6].

3. Tool settings & Test depth
Switch the window to Debug View and select the tool position you want to set
[Figure 3.1].
Move the head [using the arrow keys on the keyboard] over your test material
ensuring the tool you are setting is located above the material and press T-
depth [Figure 3.2].
Turn off the Vacuum [Vac1] and move the head out of way using the arrows on
the keyboard. Inspect the test cut, Ensure it is a clean cut all the way through
the media. Too much blade will leave a rough cut and raised edges and not
enough will not cut all the way through the media.
For other [i.e. speed] adjustments click on Cutting tool configuration near the
top of the screen [Figure3.3].

Select the tool position for the tool you want to change the speed for, alter to
the desired speed [figure 3.4]. For creasing, if the speed is to high it can cause
cracking on coated stocks.
Click save and close the window.
PRCT/RCT:
Changing the depth of the blade on these tools is done manually.
Remove the tool from its tool position, loosen the brass locking nut [Figure 3.8]
and turn the top knurled knob for more or less blade [Figure3.9].

Too much blade showing and it will leave a rough cut. To get the correct
amount of blade for a through cut hold the material you wish to cut at the end
of tool holder near the blade [Figure 3.10] and adjust the blade to the required
depth.
For Kiss cutting on materials [i.e. crackback, vinyl] the blade depth needs to be
minimal, see the difference between figure 3.11 [Set for through cut] and
figure 3.12 [set for kiss cutting].
Manually test the tool to check if the blade is at the correct height, hold the
tool firmly and straight, While applying a substantial amount of pressure draw

a circle on test material [this must be done on the belt of the machine] see
figure 3.13.
Once the blade is set and manually tested, return the tool to its position on the
machine and secure. The next step is to do a test cut, place a piece of scrap
material onto the belt, move the head into position over the media and press
T-depth in the Debug View window.
If you’re getting marking from the tool holder on the media [Figure 3.14] or the
tool is not making contact with the media, You will need to change the
pressure of the tool solenoid, Click on Cutting Tool Configuration, select the
number of the tool you are using [3 or 4], change the maximum knife lowering
depth.
Decreasing the number will apply less pressure.
PCTT:
There are two ways to adjust the amount of pressure on the crease wheel, the
first is to adjust the valve and allow more or less air pressure [Figure 3.16].
Anticlockwise will reduce the amount of air pressure.
