5.1.3 STYLUS ADJUSTMENT
The machine is configured by the constructor in
the final testing phase for the production of
alluminium plates of thickness 0,5mm.
For steel plates or for plates of greater thickness it
is necessary to modify the height of the stylus (3).
To registry the stylus refers to fig. 5.6 and do as
follow:
- Switch off the machine and lift the front cover.
- Loosen the allen screws (1).
- Turn the black knob (2) clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to increase or
decrease respectively the height of the stylus.
- Tighten the allen screws (1).
To reach the best calibration we suggest to
carefully attend to the following steps:
1. Loose the allen screws (1);
2. By using the knob (2) increase the height of the
stylus in order to insure the passage of the
plate;
3. Put the plate in the clamp and manually
move the clamp until the plate is in the working
position (under the stylus);
4. By keeping lower the solenoid with your finger,
turn the knob (2) until the stylus goes in contact
with the surface of the plate (don't press the
surface).
5. Tighten the allen screws (1).
6. Close the cover, switch-on the machine and
start the Card-Test Nr. 1 (see annex A.10);
7. Looking the resulting plate you can see if you
need more pressure.
8. To increase the pressure loose the allen screws,
turn the knob counterclockwhise of about 10-
15
°
(1 complete turn= 1,25 mm height), tighten
the screws and repeat the card test.
9. If necessary repeat steps 7 and 8 until the result
is acceptable.
Remarks: the Stylus Adjustment is a delicate
operation. Do it only when tightly necessary or
when the printing of your MDM is not satisfying.
After each regulation of the knob set free the
solenoid and verify that the plate is free to pass
under the stylus. Remember that careless or wrong
settings may cause serious damage to the structure
of the stamper.
