Perforating
Once the machine is set-up, the Autocreaser 50 can be used to perforate or crease.
Note
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.
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
pho-
tograph 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.
