Operating the Autocreaser 33

Adjusting the Paper Gate

The standard setting for horizontal adjustment of the paper gate is 6.5mm (1/4") away from the mounting block. Turn disc J to make this adjustment. This setting is only intended as a guide, for instance, sheets with an upward curl will require this setting to be increased. Set the height of the Paper Gate to approximately two thicknesses of paper, by turning knob K. An excessive gap is a most likely cause of double sheet feeding.

TWOTH ICK NE SSES

OF P AP E R

IMPORTANT:-

To avoid possible damage to the suction drum, when adjusting the paper gate height, ensure that the disc is located over a solid section of the suction drum and not over a slot in the drum. Do not adjust the paper gate while the machine is running.

Setting the suction slot

The suction slot is located inside the vacuum roller and can be adjusted by releasing and moving the suction knob horizontally in either direction to the required position. For light stocks set the knob to the left and for heavier stocks set the knob to the right .

CREASING

AutoCreaser 33

Operating the Autocreaser 33

Setting the Adjustable Side Lay

Place the paper stack on to the loading table and slide up to the fixed side lay and paper gate. Release the clamps located at each end of the side lay and slide up towards the paper stack as demonstrated in fig 8.1. Allow a gap of approximately 0.5mm (1/64 inch) between the paper and the side lay.

Position the backstop and slide up towards the paper stack allowing a gap (as specified in the above step).

Setting the Air Distribution

Depending on the length of the sheet to be creased, the air distribution knob can be rotated to various positions in order to supply air to different ports. Position 1 is recommended for most sheet sizes. However, a better result may be obtained by using the below settings or by experimentation.

Position 1 – For A5 sheets or 8 inches long, front port and port 1 open. 2 – For A4 sheets or 11 inches long, front port and port 2 open. 3 – For A3 sheets or 17 inches long, front port and port 3 open. 0 – For longer sheets in order to supply air to the centre of the stack, port 1 and port 2 open.

Setting the Air Separation Pressure

To control the amount of air supplied to the ports, the air separation knob can be adjusted by first rotating the knob to unlock its position, then push the knob down to the required position and rotate the knob to re-lock its position.

Setting the Roller Tilt Mechanism

The roller tilt mechanism has been designed to compensate for when the creasing position on the sheet is not square. This could be due to an inaccuracy in the media or if the roller tilt mechanism has been incorrectly set. The mechanism will be set to zero (square) when the machine is supplied. To set the mechanism, unlock the roller tilt knob located below the roller tilting handle by turning anti-clockwise. Move the roller tilt handle left or right in order to compensate for any inaccuracy. When the position is set, ensure to lock the roller tilt knob before operating the machine. Repeat the above procedure until the creasing position is square.

Setting the positions of drive wheels and hubs

It is important that the drive wheels and drive hubs on the roller shafts are arranged evenly across the width of the media being creased. This is done to ensure that the media is accurately driven and supported through the rollers. The drive wheels and hubs are fixed to the rollers by means of a grub screw. To locate this grub screw the rollers can be rotated by operating the motor manually. DO NOT ROTATE THE DRIVE ROLLERS BY HAND.

SYSTEM

Operating the Autocreaser 33

To operate the motors manually, switch the machine ‘on’ at the Emergency Stop switch. Following the arrows on the display unit, move the selection switch to the left to select Tools, the display will now show the Tools sub-menu. Press the system switch down and then move the selection switch to the left or to the right, to rotate the rollers in short pulses. Lift the exit guard to see if the grub screws in the drive wheels and hubs can be seen. If the grub screws cannot be seen, lower the exit guard and rotate the rollers by moving the selection switch to the left or to the right. Loosen the drive wheels and hubs with a 2mm allen key. Arrange the drive wheels and hubs as shown in FIG 10.1. In order to avoid marking on some types of media ensure a gap between the drive wheels and hubs. This procedure should be repeated when installing perforating blades and anvils onto the drive wheels and hubs.

FIG 10.1

In the event of a paper jam occurring whilst the machine is operating the display will read Paper Jam. In order to remove the paper causing the jam, move the selection switch to the left or to the right to drive the paper forwards or backwards in short pulses.

Setting the machine to operate in manual mode

In order to feed heavy stock, very small or very large sheets, embossed or even irregular shaped sheets, it may be required to operate the machine manually. The machine can be programmed and set up in exactly the same way as explained when operating the machine automatically. However, when setting up the machine the paper gate must be raised to its highest position for the sheets to be fed freely. Operating the machine manually will also require the suction length to be continuous in order to accommodate various types of stock. Therefore, the feed should be set to Long Pulse see page 14. The machine can now be started by activating the System switch to ‘on’. Do not activate the Compressor switch. Move the selection switch down to select Feed and begin to slide the sheets individually through the paper gate until they are driven by the drive belts. To stop feeding the sheets, move the selection switch up and then the System Switch up.

CREASING

AutoCreaser 33

The Stacker Assembly

The stacker unit on the Autocreaser 33 is used to catch the sheets once they have been creased or perforated.

Setting the Stacker assembly

Assemble the stacker unit to the machine as shown in fig 13.1 below.

Important Ensure that the stacker unit has been assembled to the machine properly. However, if it has not, the connection on the magnetic switch will be broken and the machine will not operate (see Trouble shooting pages for details).

There are two side guides on the stacker unit; a left handed guide and a right handed guide. The guides will control the way in which the paper is collated by setting their positions on the stacker bed.

2. Place a single sheet (from the stack to be creased / perforated) on to the stacker bed against the ‘left hand’ guide.
3. Position the ‘right hand’ side guide on to the stacker bed leaving a minimum clearance of approximately 1mm each side of the sheet.

4. Whilst the sheet is between the two guides on the stacker bed, set the distance between the top of the sheet and the backstop flanges to approximately 5mm.
5. For shorter sheets, the back stop can be used (as shown in FIG 13.1) to adjust the position of the paper stack.

TIPS

The magnetic back stop supplied with the machine can also be used as a tool holder as demonstrated In the photograph (left).

CREASING

AutoCreaser 33

Perforating

Once the machine is set-up, the Autocreaser 33 can be used to perforate or crease.

Notes

1. Perforating and creasing can be carried out simultaneously. However, if any adjustment is made to the roller tilt mechanism in order to compensate for the perforation line being ’out of square’, this may effect the accuracy of the crease. If this occurs creasing and perforating must be carried out as separate operations.
2. By adjusting the outfeed drive tyres relative to the drive hubs it is possible to stear the sheet, (i.e. By placing the tyre on top of the hub one side of the paper will stear faster on that side).

The components and tools required to install the perforator are contained in the despatch kit supplied with the machine, they are listed below.

1 off Set of standard perforation ‘56 tooth’ blades. 1 off Set of standard hardened anvils. 1 off Perforator stripper. 1 off Scoring wheel 1 off 3mm bondhus wrench / allen key 1 off 2mm bondhus wrench / allen key

The perforator blades are split into two matching halves and are fitted to the drive wheels as shown in the photograph using the four screws supplied.

A hardened anvil is fitted to the drive hub as shown in the photograph also using the four screws supplied. Again the anvils are made from matching halves.

Important: The perforator blades are very sharp and care must be taken whilst handling. Do not mix the matching pairs of blades or anvils.

For perforating and other types of paper, various spares kits are available which can be assembled to the machine in the same fashion. They are listed below along with a range of scoring wheels,

• It is recommended that for multiple perforations, a separate perforator stripper is used for every perforating blade set fitted in the creasing unit.

Turn the mains supply to the machine ‘off’.

Remove the stacker unit and open the exit guard.

Locate and remove the blades / anvils from the despatch kit supplied with the machine.

Using the 2mm allen key (supplied), loosen the drive wheel that is to accommodate the blades.

Slide the drive wheel away from any obstructing drive wheels or hubs in order to mount the blades.

Using the 2.5mm allen key (supplied), take one of the matching pairs and mount on to the drive wheel. Do not secure the blade.

Mount the other matching pair to the drive wheel as shown (fig 16.1). Secure the blades to the wheel ensuring not to over tighten grub screw.

Mark on a single sheet the desired perforating position. Feed the sheet through the machine manually until the mark can be seen. Use this mark to assist in fixing the position of the perforating drive wheel to the roller drive shaft.

Using the 2mm allen key, loosen the drive hub nearest the perforating drive. Slide the drive hub away from any obstructing drive wheels or hubs in order to mount the anvils.

The diagram below demonstrates the adjustment of the blade pressure

CREASING

AutoCreaser 33

The Blade Assembly

Adjusting the blade alignment

It is extremely important that the blade and anvil assembly within the creasing unit is correctly aligned. Misalignment of the blade or anvil can lead to damaged profiles and subsequently poor quality creasing so it must, therefore, be corrected immediately. If the blade set is misaligned, the media being driven will be subject to scoring or even tearing at any point along the crease line. Please note that to avoid damage to the blade set, adjustment should only be made in small increments. The below sketch demonstrates how the blade alignment can be carried out. Adjustment can be made at either of the blade or anvil. The two clearance holes positioned above the roller tilt mechanism are the front alignment (one for blade, one for anvil). The two holes are repeated on the back of the machine for the back alignment.

Remove the stacker unit from the Autocreaser

Unlock and centralise the roller tilt mechanism in order to locate the heads of the front alignment screws.

Using a 3mm allen key, loosen the cap head type locking screws located on the front face at both ends of the blade /anvil as shown below.

Using a 4mm allen key, locate the two front or back alignment screws in the side frame in order to adjust the blade / anvil.

The upper screw of the two, will adjust the upper blade / anvil whereas the lower screw will adjust the lower blade / anvil both in very small increments.

In order to obtain the required position, adjust either the blade or the anvil by a small amount and then operate the machine to test the form of the crease. Repeat the exercise until centralisation is located.

Using a 3mm allen key, lock the cap head type screws (as per step 3) on both the upper and lower blade / anvil.

SYSTEM

Replacing Blade Set

Before removing the blade assembly, ensure that the lower blade / anvil is NOT at ‘top dead centre’, Switch the machine off.

Remove the stacker unit and lift the exit guard.

FIG 20.1

Using a 6mm allen key, loosen the socket head screws located inside the blade adjustment cams. Remove the screws and the blade adjustment cams.

Insert the blade extractor tools (70-055-01 & 70-055-02) into the holes in the adjustment links, as shown. Push downwards on the handles of the blade extractor tools to release the blade assembly from the power links.

Slide the blade assembly out of the creasing unit and lay it on a flat surface.

Slide the adjustment links away from the dowels located in the ends of the blades / anvils as shown in the photograph (left)

Place the new blade set into position. Check that the eccentric shoulder bolts on the link plates have been positioned as shown in fig 20.1.

Trouble Shooting

Paper crease out of square

Check that the sheets are all square and exactly the same size before loading the stack on to the table.

Check that the roller tilt mechanism is correctly set and locked in position.

Check that the adjustable side lay has been correctly positioned ie. No further than 0.5mm from the paper stack.

Check that the leading edge of the paper is not being damaged by the paper gate. If this is occurring, check that the suction slot and the paper gate have been correctly set.

Check that the first crease position is not too close to the leading edge of the paper. A minimum distance of 32mm is recommended.

Machine will not start

Check the power supply to the machine.

Check that the emergency stop button has been released.

Check that the exit guard is down.

Check that the stacker unit is located correctly and has not been disconnected from the magnetic switch.

Check that the lower blade / anvil is connecting to the home switch (mounted below the lower blade / anvil).

Check that the paper stack is not too high or too heavy for the feeder. The height of the paper stack should be defined by the weight and the size of the stock being creased.

Ensure that the adjustable side lay is not pressed against the paper stack. However, if the clearance between the adjustable side lay and the paper stack is too great, the air supply will escape instead of blowing through the paper thus making it difficult to feed.

Check that the clearance between the paper gate and the suction roller is not set too low.

On digital media, the feeding performance may be improved if the leading edge of the stack is trimmed before loading onto the Autocreaser 33.

CREASING

AutoCreaser 33

Trouble Shooting

Check that the air distribution has been correctly set.

Check that the air separation has been set high enough to feed the sheets.

For heavy stocks, very small or very large sheets, embossed or even irregular stock, it may be required to feed the sheets manually - see page 15 for instructions.

Check that the gap of the infeed rollers is set correctly (see page 14).

Open the exit and remove the blade set (see pages 25-26) to access the dual sensor post located in between the drive rollers. Using a soft brush, clean the visible sensor on the end of the post. Use the brush to clean the sensors between the post and the bottom paper guide which are not visible. Photograph (left) shows the dual sensor post containing the sensors.

If the suction drum is not rotating, check all of the drive belts for cleanliness and splits (including the bottom in-feed roller drive belt).

• Overlap - Probable Cause - Double Sheet If the machine is ‘cutting out’ and the control panel reads Overlap - Probable Cause
• Double Sheet check that the machine is not feeding multiple sheets. If so, check that the paper gate has been correctly set.
• Blade Not Home If at any time during the creasing process the control panel reads Blade Not Home it is indicating that the lower blade / anvil has not made contact with the HOME switch ie. blade still in top position. Switch the machine off and remove the blade set and ensure that the area is free from obstructions. Return the blade set to the creasing unit and switch the machine on. Operate the machine in the normal sequence, if the display continues to read Blade Not Home it is advised to contact a Service Engineer immediately.
• The Paper Path is not clear If before operating the machine the display reads The Paper Path is not clear this indicates that there is an obstruction between the upper sensor assembly and the paper guide sensor (as shown in the above photograph). If there is no obvious obstruction in the paper path, switch the machine off and repeat the same procedure as explained above.

SYSTEM

Trouble Shooting

Recommended weekly Operator maintenance

Clean all sensors Clean in feed rollers and output drive hubs using the Morgana cleaning kit (Morgana cleaning kit part number – 90-018) Remove and clean the blade assembly With the blade assembly removed, clean the slots and surrounding area within the creasing unit.
