Operation steps

Hang the live accessory board

Five machines, six drawing families. Put the active board beside the infeed before any speed praise.

Sheet infeed + thickness gate

Dual-Z and corner/rake run 1 mm; large-angle runs 0.35–0.47 mm. Wrong gauge is a specification fail before the first pass.

Portal form at contract speed

Gearbox drive, D2 rollers. Dual-Z / corner-rake ≥10 m/min; large-angle written 15 m/min. Film yellow covers and button panel (English only).

Teardrop hem first-off

Most boards call 0.5" TEARDROP HEM. Slow-mo the hem—flat crush or open flare fails the accessory edge.

Angle / width gauge vs board

RES. RAKE and SS drip/slim-rake carry degree callouts (45°, 78°, 165° class). Nest short packs with edge foam—keep accessory tags separate from main-tile tags.

Length finish per specification

Specification lists host cut as none. If length is finished offline, show that station.
