Operating instructions

FLEXCO Continuous Finger-Over-Finger Punch Process is a versatile tool designed to simplify and enhance the belt splicing process. It features a user-friendly design that makes it easy to operate, even for those with limited experience. With its ability to punch both the top and bottom covers of the belt, this device provides a precise and efficient way to create finger-over-finger splices.

The punch process is straightforward and involves several key steps. Firstly, the belt ends are prepared by squaring and ply separating to the appropriate depth. The bottom cover is then folded back and clamped between the clamp bar while the top cover is laid over the already punched fingers. The punch blades are then aligned with the punched fingers to ensure correct finger spacing. The punching process is then repeated until the entire width of the belt has been punched.

cover is up against the c-clamp tray belt stop and lock in place. Slide and lock the PUN M™ tray in the back position and
resume the punch process until you’ve utilized the complete cutting surface of the punch board.
8. Unclamp belt and slide it over to the le, again utilizing punched ngers on the le side to align with punch blades to
ensure correct nger spacing. Prior to re-clamping and resuming punch process, measure the distance between the leading
belt edge and the c-clamp tray stop on the le and be sure the distance measures the same on the right of leading belt edge
prior to clamping and resuming punch process. Repeat process until the entire belt end has been punched.
NOTE: Be sure none of the ngers are out of alignment underneath the top cover prior to resuming punch process.

and Operation Manual until you’ve utilized the complete cutting surface of the punch board.
11. While clamp bar is still locked, cut o excess belt from rst section of punched ngers, unclamp, and shi the belt to the le. Utilize
punched ngers on le side to align with punch blades to ensure correct nger spacing prior to re-clamping and resuming punch
process.
12. Repeat step 3.11 until the entire width of the belt has been punched.
13. Prior to punching bottom cover, release the clamp bar allowing the bottom cover to lay over the already punched ngers.

of the bottom cover is up against the c-clamp tray belt stop and lock in place. Slide and lock the PUN M™ tray in the back
position. Resume punch process
14. Unclamp belt and slide it over to the le, again utilizing
punched ngers on the le side to align with punch blades to
ensure correct nger spacing.
