Safety Precautions
Moving Machinery
Keep hands away from the resealer, and other moving machine parts to avoid
personal injury. Make sure there is no one else near the table when you are
operating the GERBERcutter.
Replacing Parts
Report any broken or missing parts to your service representative. Because
of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts
or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment.
Knife Blade
The knife blade is very sharp. Be extremely careful when working near the
knife blade.
Clothing
Loose fitting clothing, dangling necklaces and ties, loose jewelry, and long
hair can be a hazard when working around machinery.
Compressed Air
Always use caution when using compressed air. Never use compressed air to
blow lint and dust off clothing or skin.
Lint
Avoid breathing in lint when changing the table and stack filters. Wear a
mask suitable for this purpose.
Equipment Training
Never attempt to operate this machinery unless you received formal training
to do so.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Use extreme caution when handling flammable liquids such as cleaning solvents. Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes.
Use Caution When Handling the CRT
The monitor on the operator workstation is a cathode-ray tube (CRT). Breaking
a CRT could cause it to implode and scatter high-velocity glass fragments. To
prevent CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment.

The S-3200
Page 1-1
System Description
Major
The S-3200 has two major subsystems that work together to cut material.
Subsystems These subsystems are the C-200B controller and the cutting table.
C-200B Controller
The C-200B controller is the command center of the S-3200. Using its software, the C-200B tells the system how to cut the material. The C-200B (Figure 1-2) has two parts that work together: the Front End Processor (FEP)
and the Motion Control Computer (MCC). Located in the operator workstation, the FEP lets you communicate with the S-3200. It sends your instructions and cut file data to the MCC inside the cutting table. The MCC then
uses these instructions to run the cutting table.

System Description
Cutting Table
The cutting table (Figure 1-3) cuts material according to instructions from
the C-200B controller. The cutting table has these major parts:
vacuum generator
film dispenser
mast
conveyor
limit switches
take-off ramp
Cutter Head and Beam Assembly. The cutter head and beam assembly
(Figure 1-3) cuts material by moving a reciprocating knife across the cutting
table. The assembly moves in response to C-200B commands. The knife
turns for cutting rounded corners, curves, and notches. The cutter head, holding the knife, moves across the table on the beam. The beam travels the
length of the cutting table. By combining these movements, the S-3200 accurately cuts complex patterns. A laser origin light on the cutter head lets you
position the knife to start cutting at the right place. This light shines a red
spot onto the material. The beam control panel (BCP) is a terminal that lets
you control the cutter head and beam assembly from the cutting table. (See
page 1-12 for more detail.)

System Description
Film Dispenser. The film dispenser (Figure 1-3) holds a roll of polyethylene plastic film. You place this plastic film over the lay before cutting it. The
plastic film seals the material to allow a strong vacuum during cutting. This
vacuum compresses the material and holds it firmly to the conveyor.
Conveyor. The conveyor (Figure 1-3) is a moving work surface for cutting
fabric. It moves material from the take-on end of the cutting table before cutting to the take-off end after cutting. The conveyor is made of aluminum slats
that hold Gerber BRISTLE SQUARES (Figure 1-4). BRISTLE SQUARES
are squares of molded bristle that plug into the conveyor slats. Each BRISTLE
SQUARE has small holes in its base. When you apply vacuum to the cutting table, air passes through these holes to compress the material. Barrier strips between the slats seal the conveyor against vacuum loss.

BARRIER STRIP

END CAP
The STOR does not move. It is a very smooth surface onto which the
cut pieces slide when the conveyor advances.
Mast. The mast (Figure 1-3) is a tower that holds the S-3200s overhead
power cables and exhaust stack. On lateral drives, the mast also houses a
flashing warning light and alarm that alert others when the cutting table is
moving.
Page 1-4
System Description
Vacuum Generator. The vacuum generator (Figure 1-3) is under the takeoff end of the cutting table. It makes a vacuum that holds the material firmly
on the work surface during cutting. The vacuum generator draws air through
the BRISTLE SQUARES into the conveyor slats. From the slats, the air goes
through a manifold and filter, into the vacuum generator, and out the silencer
in the exhaust stack (Figure 1-5).
Three features control vacuum:
The Energy Saving Mode (ESM) greatly reduces table vacuum (and
therefore saves energy) when the S-3200 is idle for a user-defined
period.
The Cut Path Intelligence Low Vacuum Feature is an optional feature that slows the feedrate of your marker if the table vacuum falls to
caution level.

System Description
Limit Switches. Limit switches set limits for how far the cutter head and
beam can move on the cutting table. Without them, the cutter head could strike
the ends of the beam, and the beam could hit the bumpers at the end of the
racks. The limit switches also tell the C-200B when the cutter head reaches the
(X0, Y0) coordinate when you initialize the system.
There are three limit switch assemblies on the beam (Figure 1-6). Each limit
switch is activated by a magnet, or small metal plate.

When activated, the limit switch tells the C-200B to stop all cutter table motion and display an error message. You must then perform a recovery procedure to resume cutting.

Emergency Stop
Emergency Stop (ESTOP) is a safety procedure. You must know how to use
ESTOPs before operating the S-3200. An ESTOP halts all table motion in
case of danger to people, the S-3200, or the material being cut.
The S-3200 has two kinds of ESTOPs: switches and plungers. Pressing an ESTOP switch or plunger immediately shuts off all power to the conveyor, vacuum generator, cutter head, and beam. All motion stops. Only the operator
workstation stays on. You must do a recovery procedure before you can use the
S-3200 again. Figures 1-8 and 1-9 show the ESTOP locations.
ESTOP Switches. ESTOP switches are large red buttons. To stop the cutter, press the switch. The S-3200 GERBERcutter has seven switches.
ESTOP Plungers. ESTOP plungers are large yellow buttons. They work
automatically when they run into interference. For example, if you lean
across the table as the beam is moving, the plunger depresses when it runs
into you. All motion stops immediately. The S-3200 has four plungers.

System Description
Circuit Breakers
The S-3200 has two main circuit breakers on the cutting table (Figure 1-10).
Both circuit breakers must be turned on for the system to run properly.
Circuit breaker 1 provides power to the C-200B controller, servo motors, and
conveyor. It is in the upper left corner of the take-off end. You use this circuit
breaker to turn on the S-3200.
Circuit breaker 2 provides power for the vacuum generator. It is located in
the vacuum electrics enclosure. This circuit breaker is always left on.

Monitor. The monitor is a device like a television that receives computer
video signals and displays information on the screen.
Keyboard. The keyboard is a device with keys, like those on a typewriter,
that lets you enter data and communicate with the C-200B controller. You
use the keyboard to enter the two-letter commands that run the cutter. See the
C-200B Software Users Guide to find out more about these commands.
Icon (Function) Keys. Each function key performs a C-200B command
to operate the cutter. The icon (picture) and color of the key tells you which
key performs each function. See the C-200B Software Users Guide to find
out more about these keys and their commands.
Trackball. The trackball moves the cursor in the same direction as you roll
the ball. Use this for selecting cut files and configuration files.
Accessory Tray. Use this to place pens, pencils, floppy disks, etc.
Presser Foot Adjust. This control adjusts air pressure for the presser foot
on the cutter head. You must set the air pressure for the type of material and
thickness of lay being cut. This is the icon marking this knob:

Options
Several options are available for tailoring the S-3200 to the material you cut
and to your way of doing business. Here is a partial list of optional hardware
and software that you may find useful as you become more familiar with your
S-3200. For more information, call your GGT sales representative.
Drill
The drill attaches to the cutter head. It lets the S-3200 automatically make
drill hole marks as it cuts material. Solid, hollow, half round, and solid
groove point drill bits are available. Sizes range from 1.19 mm to 7.94 mm
(3/64 in. to 5/16 in.).
Lateral Drive
A lateral drive option moves the S-3200 from spreading table to spreading table. This lets you cut one lay of material after another.
Resealer
The resealer uses plastic film to automatically cover the cut area of the lay.
Covering the cut area improves cut quality by maintaining vacuum.
Streamer Tape Drive
The streamer tape drive is an option on the operator workstation. Use this for
backing up data.
Network File Server
The AccuMark 700 FS network file server provides a central database for AccuMark 300 systems and other Gerber products. It links systems so you can
share data electronically instead of by floppy disk.
GPP-200 POWER Processor
The GPP-200 POWER Processor is a software program that lets you modify
cut files to improve cut quality, reduce cut time, and increase material savings.

Direction

Location
bite feeding
GGT uses specific terms to describe direction and location on the cutting
table. Learning these words will make it easier to find your way around the
GERBERcutter.
Ends and Sides
Each side of the cutting table is named so you can identify it easily
(Figure 2-1). Material comes onto the cutting table from the take-on end
and leaves from the take-off end. The right and left sides are as when
viewed from the take-on end of the cutting table.

The X, Y, and C-Axes
The GERBERcutter uses three imaginary lines or axes to describe movement and location on the cutting table. They are the X, Y, and C-axes
(Figure 2-2). The Y-axis is the width of the table. The X-axis is the length
of the table. The C-axis is in the cutter head. The beam moves along the
X-axis, the cutter head travels the Y-axis, and the knife rotates about the
C-axis in the cutter head.

Location is also given in terms of the X and Y-axes (Figure 2-4). The point
(X0, Y0) is on the lower left corner of the work surface near the take-off end.
All locations on the work surface are relative to this position. Unlike direction,
location is always given in positive (+) numbers. To find the point (X=45 cm,
Y=55 cm), start at (X0, Y0). Measure 45 cm (18 in.) to the right along the
X-axis. From there, measure 55 cm (22 in.) away from you on the Y-axis. You
are now at the point (X=45 cm, Y=55 cm) or (X=18 in., Y=22 in.).

Basic Concepts
Origin
Just as the table has a (X0, Y0) position marking its lower left corner, so
does each marker. The (X0, Y0) position of the marker is called the origin.
All data points (locations) of the marker are relative to the origin.
Before the S-3200 can cut a marker, you must set the location of the origin.
The cutter then cuts each piece relative to this point. To set the origin, move
the origin light to the starting point of the marker and press ORG on the
BCP or F10 on the operator workstation. The origin light is a red laser light
that shines on the cutting table. It is in the cutter head.
The origin must be close enough to home (X0, Y0) so that the marker can fit
on the table. For example, in Figure 2-5, the origin is at (25, 50). With that
origin, the marker extends off the table in the Y direction. Figure 2-6 corrects
this situation by moving the origin to (25, 25).
If the cutter cannot cut the marker because it would go off the table, you get
an off table message, such as:
Off table in +Y
OR
Off table in -X
Using the Check Origin feature, the system automatically verifies the marker
will fit on the cutting table with the current origin. It does this before cutting
the marker. If the origin does not work for your marker, the system displays
an error message like this:
Bad Origin: X too high (x.xxx)
acceptable range: x.xxx - x.xxx
Press any key to continue
where x.xxx is a table location in the X direction. You get a similar message
if the origin needs to be corrected in the Y direction.

Basic Concepts
Bite Feeding The GERBERcutter uses its conveyor for bite feeding. Bite feeding is a feature
that matches cutter head movement with conveyor movement. With bite feeding, the GERBERcutter can easily cut a lay that is longer than the cutting table.
The GERBERcutter does this by cutting the lay in sections. These sections
are called bites. The system sets the length of each bite in the marker. The
cutter pulls the bite onto the cutting table and cuts the material. The conveyor
advances until the next bite is on the work surface.
Cutting a Marker with Bite Feeding
Figure 2-7 shows an example of bite feeding. Diagram 1 shows a lay that has
been divided into three bites.
To begin automatic cutting, the conveyor pulls the leading edge of the lay onto
the cutting surface (with the aid of underlay paper, if needed). The conveyor is
advanced manually until the first bite is on the cutting table (Diagram 2).
The GERBERcutter cuts the first bite, including pieces that extend into the second bite (Diagram 3). The knife cuts a slit in the selvage of the material. This
slit marks the origin of the second bite. It is a reference point for the cutter during the second bite. The slit (or edge clip) is made by the C-200B software.
Next, the conveyor moves the first bite to the take-off system and brings the
second bite onto the cutting surface (Diagram 4). While the bundlers remove
the pieces from the first bite, the GERBERcutter cuts the second bite.
After the system cuts the second bite, the conveyor pulls the third bite onto
the cutting surface. It brings the second bite down to the bundlers, and
moves the scrap from the first bite to the end of the take-off ramp, where you
can collect it or discard it (Diagram 5). The conveyor feeds bite after bite until the GERBERcutter cuts the whole lay.
Types of Bite Markers
The GERBERcutter can set the bites for the marker in two ways: on-line and
off-line. The on-line method, called run time biting, bites the marker just before cutting it. The off-line method, called standalone SBITE, bites the marker
on another computer. The cut file is then copied onto the C-200B for cutting.
Both methods can define bites in two ways: static mode and variable length.
Static mode means that all bites for one marker are the same length. Variable
length means that the size of each bite depends on the pieces being cut.
See the C-200B Software Users Guide (GGT P/N: 075784000) to find out
how to bite a marker.

Software
and Files
Software
Software is the set of computer programs that the C-200B uses to run the
GERBERcutter and communicate with you. These programs include DOS
and C-200B. DOS is the operating system for the FEP. The C-200B software
reads cut files and configuration files to tell the cutting table how to cut
material.
For more information about C-200B software and DOS, see the C-200B
Software Users Guide (GGT P/N: 075784000).
Cut File
A cut file is a computer data file that tells the GERBERcutter how to cut a set
of patterns (a marker) out of a lay of material. The cut file is made by a Gerber
marker making system such as the Gerber AccuMark 300 or AccuMark 700.
Configuration File
A configuration file is a computer data file that sets up the system for the materials being cut. For example, you may have one configuration file for cutting denim and another for flannel. The C-200B software comes with several
default configuration files.

About This
Chapter
This section describes how to cut material on the S-3200. This chapter assumes you know the material in the first three chapters of this manual.
Page 3-1
Getting Started
Step 1: Spread the Material
CAUTION: Different materials require specific spreading methods
for the best cutting results. The following procedures
are general guidelines only.
3. If you use full-size plots, put the correct one on top of the lay. The plot
lets you identify individual pieces after they are cut.
Step 2: Turn On the S-3200
Follow these procedures to turn on the S-3200:
1. Look at the beam and cutter head. Make sure that:
a. the limit switches are not parked on a magnet.
b. the beam is away from magnet C1 (Figure 1-6).
If necessary, manually move the cutter head and beam toward the
center of the work surface.
NOTE: If a limit switch is parked on a magnet, you cannot enable the
servomotors. If the beam is past magnet C1 or C2 (Figure 1-6),
the system displays an error message and stops all cutting.

3. Use the jog control switch to advance the conveyor until the lay is
about 25 cm (10 in.) from the take-off end of the cutting table.
CAUTION:
Do not advance the conveyor too far. You cannot reverse the conveyor without disturbing the lay.
4. Manually pull the plastic film overlay (0.001 in. polyethylene) from the
film dispenser to cover the entire bristle surface. This allows proper
vacuum compression.
CAUTION:
6. The name of the file you selected appears in the Configuration File box
and the system displays the command line.

3. If you have a conveyorized take-off table (CTOT), on the operator
workstation set the CTOT to on.
4. At the BCP, set the origin:
a. Set CUTTING SPEED to 1 or 2 .
b. Use the slew keys to position the cutter head so that the origin light
falls on the lower left corner of the lay.
c. Press ORG to set the origin at the origin light. The monitor displays:
Origin reported:
X = x.xxx, Y = y.yyy
where x.xxx and y.yyy are the actual table coordinates of the origin.
Step 8: Check Straightness and Width
Before cutting the marker, be sure the spread is laid straight on the cutting table. Also, be sure the lay is wide enough for this marker. To do this, you will
use a command called Check Straightness (CS). This command moves the
cutter head along the X and Y edges of the lay. If the path of the origin light
stays parallel with and on the edge of the lay, the lay is straight on the work
surface and is wide enough to be cut. This figure shows how the cutter head
moves and what you should look for during each cutter head movement.

About This
Chapter
Safety
Precautions
This chapter describes routine maintenance on your S-3200. (It does not cover
highly technical procedures or those requiring special skills. These are best left
to your maintenance department or Gerber service representative.) Proper maintenance is important because it improves cut quality and extends the life of the
system. Use this chapter for:
WARNING! High voltages exist inside the C-200B controller. There are no operator-serviceable parts inside the
C-200B. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance. Contact your service technician in case of a problem.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause injury or
death.
WARNING! You may get seriously hurt if you do not turn
off the C-200B and vacuum generator when instructed. When
the C-200B is on, it applies power to the cutting table and
vacuum generator. Parts could move suddenly.
WARNING! The origin light on the cutter head employs
a Class IIIa laser product. Do not look along the axis of the
laser light without protective eyewear. Do not place reflective
material on the cutting table, as the reflection from the laser
light may cause injury. Be sure you unplug the cable connector on the origin light before performing any maintenance on
the system. Failure to follow these warnings can cause injury.
Page 4-1
Maintenance
Circuit Breakers
The S-3200 has two main circuit breakers on the cutting table. Both circuit
breakers must be turned on for the system to run properly.
Circuit breaker 1 provides power for the C-200B controller, servo motors,
and conveyor. It is located in the upper left corner of the take-off end. Use
this circuit breaker to turn on the S-3200.
WARNING! Circuit breaker 2 is not for use by the operator. Do not turn circuit breaker 2 on or off. High voltages exist
within the vacuum electrics enclosure and inside the C-200B
controller. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages
may exist even when a power cable is disconnected. Never
perform any work inside the C-200B controller as there are
no operator-serviceable parts inside.
Circuit breaker 2 provides power for the vacuum generator. It is located in
the vacuum electrics enclosure. This circuit breaker is always left on.

workstation is complex and contains dangerous voltages, the only operator-serviceable
parts are the monitor and keyboard.
Keyboard
The keyboard is a device with keys, like
those on a typewriter, that lets you enter data
and communicate with the operator workstation. You may not be able to use some or all
of the S-3200 features if the keyboard fails.

The conveyor is a moving work surface for cutting material. Proper cleaning and lubrication
are vital for maintaining cut quality.
BRISTLE SQUARES. The BRISTLE
SQUARES form the conveyors work surface.
They are plastic squares with bristles on the
top side and a perforated base on the bottom.
The BRISTLE SQUARES are installed in aluminum slats that join to make the conveyor.
BRISTLE SQUARES last longer if you clean
and rearrange them regularly. (Rearrange
means to move the BRISTLE SQUARES to
different places within each slat to spread wear
evenly.)

How
Vacuum
Works
This chapter describes each of the three optional vacuum features for the
S-3200 GERBERcutter. The topics included in this section are:
Vacuum zoning
The vacuum generator plays a critical part in the cutting process. It makes a
vacuum that holds the material firmly on the work surface during cutting.
The vacuum generator is under the take-off end of the cutting table. The vacuum generator draws air through the BRISTLE SQUARES into the conveyor
slats. From the slats, the air goes through a manifold and a filter, into the vacuum generator, and out the silencer in the exhaust stack (Figure A-1).

The optional vacuum zoning feature improves cut quality and lowers power
use. This feature applies vacuum where it is needed most ---- the area being
cut. In zoned vacuum, the cutting table is divided into five zones (six zones
on optional long tables). Each zone receives vacuum from a duct that can be
opened or closed automatically with a butterfly valve. Each butterfly valve is
closed unless the cutter head is in its zone. When the cutter head enters a
zone, the butterfly valve opens, applying vacuum to the area being cut.

If you turn off vacuum zoning (disable it), the S-3200 applies vacuum to the
entire cutting table surface. You may want to disable vacuum zoning if you
need consistent vacuum to prevent slippage. For example, you may want to
disable zoning when cutting high ply spreads of slippery material.
The S-3200 applies vacuum in one to three zones at a time: the zone in
which the cutter head is currently cutting and one or two look-ahead zones.
The purpose of the look-ahead zones is to ensure consistent vacuum during
cutting.
The S-3200 calculates look-ahead zones in several different ways.
Figure A-3 illustrates these methods.
Page A-3
Page A-4
Page A-5
The energy saving mode (ESM) greatly reduces table vacuum when the
S-3200 is idle for a certain period of time. The system displays a warning
message on the operator screen thirty seconds before ESM goes into effect.
ESM reduces energy consumption in two ways. First, since ESM automatically sets vacuum requirements, the operator does not need to remember
when to lower vacuum to the table. Secondly, ESM reduces vacuum without
turning off the vacuum generator. Instead, it opens and closes the vacuum
zone valves. This method uses less energy than turning the motor on and off.
ESM goes into effect when these three conditions are met:
the beam, head, and conveyor are idle for a certain period of time
(defined in the configuration file)
Time Until ESM = the number of seconds the system is idle before
ESM goes into effect. The operator sees a warning message 30 seconds
before ESM starts.
Page A-6
The S-3200 has two messages which indicate vacuum is too low for cutting:
The Vacuum Low Caution message warns you that vacuum is dangerously low. If you have Cut Path Intelligence (CPI) low vacuum feature
turned on when the vacuum is at caution level, the feedrate of the
marker slows by a configurable amount. (For more information, see
Cut Path Intelligence Vacuum Feature, on page A-8 .) If this CPI feature is not turned on, you must either increase vacuum or stop cutting.
The Vacuum Low Error message causes the cutter to stop cutting until proper vacuum is resumed.
Vacuum Low Caution Level = vacuum level below which S-3200 displays the caution message.
Vacuum Low Error Level = vacuum level below which S-3200 displays the error message and halts the cutting process.
Page A-7
The optional Cut Path Intelligence (CPI) vacuum feature slows the feedrate
of your marker if table vacuum is at caution level. To use this feature, you
must first set the Vacuum Low Caution Level in your configuration file
(see page A-7).
Configuration Setup. To use the Cut Path Intelligence low vacuum feature, set up the configuration file parameter:

Appendix C
Cutting Problems
About This
Chapter
This section lists common cutting problems and possible solutions. These
problems are usually caused by incorrect settings or poor maintenance.
Fusing
If the material you are cutting is fusing sticking together from too much heat
and pressure):
1. Check this setting if fabric is fusing at corners and notches:
a. minimum/dry haul knife speed (decrease slightly)
OR
2. Check these settings if fabric is fusing while cutting straight lines:
a. maximum/cut knife speed (decrease slightly)
b. cutting speed (increase slightly)
NOTE: Increasing the cutting speed can make the cutter head push
pieces.
3. Check that the knife is sharp and the grinding stones are in good condition.
4. Decrease the height of the lay.
Page C-1
3. Check that the knife is sharp and the grinding stones are in good
condition.
4. Check that the presser foot bowl is placing enough pressure on the
material to hold it in place.
Wavy or Scalloped Edges On Cut Pieces
If the pieces you are cutting have wavy or scalloped edges:
1. Check that there is enough vacuum for your application.
2. Check these settings:
a. knife minimum/dry haul and maximum/cut speeds
(increase slightly).
b. cutting speed (decrease slightly).
NOTE: Decreasing the cutting speed can cause fusing.
3. Check C-axis alignment with the Check Yaw in X and Check Yaw in Y
diagnostics.
4. Check that the knife is sharp and the grinding stones are in good
condition.
5. Lower the height of the lay.
6. Check that the presser foot bowl is placing enough pressure on the
material to hold it in place.
Page C-2
3. Make sure the knife is sharp and the grinding stones are in good
condition.
4. Make sure the knife is not bent.
5. Check C-axis alignment with Check Yaw in X and Check Yaw in Y
diagnostics.
