4. INSTALLATION
Vacuum Heads
For installation of vacuum heads, please refer to the attached installation prints.
Mark I Vacuum Heads for Web Applications
Install the vacuum heads as shown on the installation print, paying particular
attentions to the relative position of the static bar and vacuum head orifice with
respect to the direction of the web path. The web should pass under the static bar
first (to eliminate static) and then pass under the orifice for cleaning. The vacuum
head can be installed on top of an idler roller or web. It is preferable that the vacuum
head is installed on top of an idler roller to maintain orifice air velocity. After the
vacuum heads are installed,
DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE! PROCEED TO
BRUSH SETTINGS.
Mark I Vacuum Heads for Sheet Applications
Install the vacuum head as shown on the installation print, ensuring that the vacuum
head brushes sit about 1/16" off the impression cylinder. After the vacuum head is
installed,
DO NOT RUN THE PRESS; PROCEED TO BRUSH SETTINGS.
Mark IV Vacuum Heads for Web Applications
Install the vacuum heads as shown on the installation print, paying particular
attention to the relative position of the mounting brackets and the angle of the
vacuum heads against the idler rollers or web. The vacuum heads must be installed
perfectly so that the rotary brush and stationary brush are all just “kissing” the
idler roller or web. The Mark IV vacuum heads are designed with two static bars
to remove static before and after the cleaning process. Note that Mark IV vacuum
heads that have been designed to fit over an idler roller are designed to fit over a
specific diameter roller and cannot be used for other diameter size rollers. After the
vacuum heads are installed,
DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE; PROCEED TO
BRUSH SETTING.
Brush Setting
Mark I and Mark IV Vacuum Heads for Web Applications
Before locking all the bolts on mounting brackets, make sure the brushes are set
properly to the idler roller or on top of the web. The tip of the bristles should
“kiss” the material to be cleaned. Do not shove the brushes against the roller or
web; this will just wear out the bristles prematurely. The vacuum head must be
adjusted evenly to prevent the vacuum head from jamming in the bracket. Adjust
the vacuum head by turning the micrometer adjustment (or the optional pneumatic
reaction shaft) until the brush bristles “kiss” the material to be cleaned (Figures 1,
