3.3 Hole Quality
There are three different Hole Quality problems:
• Hanging Chad
• Holes are not cleanly cut
• Oil on Paper
3.3.1 Hanging Chad
This is caused when the clearance between the pin and hole in a
die-set increases.
Do GP 6.1.10 Die Cycles Procedure to check the number of cycles
for the installed Die Set.
If Die Set cycles have exceeded 750,000, replace the Die Set with
a new one.
3.3.2 Holes are not cleanly cut
This is usually caused due to lack of lubrication in the die-set. Do
GP 6.7.3 Die Set Lubrication.
If lubricating the die set does not fix the issue, replace die-set.
3.3.3 Oil on Paper
After a die-set is lubricated the next 25-50 sheets will come out with
oil around the punched holes. Running test sheets is
recommended until oil marks cease to appear.
3.4 Alignment Offset
“Alignment Offset” refers to alignment in the fast scan or creoss0
process direction.
Use this procedure if the Alignment of all the punched sheets is
consistently off.
If the Alignment is not consistent- go to Section 3.7 Punching
Accuracy Inconsistent.
1. Is the die configured for the correct sheet size?
See Section 8 of AdvancedPunch Pro User Manual for details.
Die-set is configured correctly
Yes - Go to Step 2;
No - Configure the die correctly and return to normal operation
2. For DFA Configurations only - Do GP 6.2.2 to check if line
speed is set correctly.
Line speed is set correctly
Yes - Go to Step 3;
No - Correct the line speed and return to normal operation
3. Do GP 6.1.3 Alignment Offset
Figure 3-1 Hole Alignment on Finished Sheet
This clears the fault
Yes - Return to normal operation; No - Go to Step 4
4. Inspect the Die Stop Magnet. Do ADJ 1.3, Die Stop
Adjustment.
This clears the fault
Yes - Return to normal operation; No - Go to Step 5
