AutoCreaser Pro 33A
FIG. 7
FIG. 6
All of the blades and anvils are supplied with fixings.
*Perforator stripper
Standard Part Number
78-013
*It is recommended that for multiple perforations, a separate perforator stripper is used for
every perforating blade set fitted in the creasing unit.
Setting the perforator blade position
1.
Turn the mains supply to the machine ‘off’.
2.
Remove the stacker unit and open the exit guard.
3.
Locate and remove the blades / anvils from the despatch kit supplied with the
machine.
4.
Using the 2mm allen key (supplied), loosen the drive wheel that is to accommodate
the blades.
5.
Slide the drive wheel away from any obstructing drive wheels or hubs in order to
mount the blades.
6. Using the 2.5mm allen key (supplied), take one
of the matching pairs and mount on to the drive
wheel. Do not secure the blade.
7. Mount the other matching pair to the drive wheel
as shown (Fig. 6). Secure the blades to the
wheel ensuring not to over tighten grub screw.
8. Mark on a single sheet the desired perforating
position. Feed the sheet through the machine
manually until the mark can be seen. Use this
mark to assist in fixing the position of the
perforating drive wheel to the roller drive shaft.
9. Using the 2mm allen key, loosen the drive hub
nearest the perforating drive. Slide the drive hub
away from any obstructing drive wheels or hubs
in order to mount the anvils.
10. Using the 2.5mm allen key, take one of the
matching pairs of anvils and mount to the drive
hub. Do not secure the anvil.

FIG. 8
Demonstrates a typical set-up for perforating sheets.
11. Mount the other anvil ensuring that they have matched on the drive hub. Secure the
anvil to the hub ensuring not to over tighten grub screw as shown in Fig 7.
12. Slide the drive hub towards the perforating drive wheel until there is a clearance
of 0.5mm.
13. To prevent damage to the blades or the anvils, do not force the drive wheel against
the hub.
14. Fix the perforator stripper adjacent to the drive wheel and blade as shown.
15. Operate the machine and test the perforations for form.
It is important that the drive hubs are arranged evenly across the width of the paper
in order to reduce the risk of jamming.
For multiple perforations repeat the above procedure.
1 -

4 -
Drive hub with mounted anvils
2 -
Perforator stripper
5 -
Standard drive hub
3 -
Standard drive wheel
Always remove blades and anvils once the perforating operation has been
completed to avoid marking on digital or delicate media.
