CREASING
Operating the Autocreaser Pro 50
Setting the Roller Tilt Mechanism
Setting the positions of drive wheels and hubs
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.
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.
To operate the motors manually, switch the machine ‘on’ at the Emergency Stop switch.
Select the Tools tab
at the bottom of the touch screen, the display will change to
that shown below.
Press the system switch down and then select the right or left arrows, 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 selecting the
right or left arrows. 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.
DO NOT ROTATE THE DRIVE ROLLERS BY HAND.
