SECTION I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Value Line Cutting and Creasing Press is a hand-fed Platen Press designed for use with steel rule dies for the
manufacture of paper, corrugated and fiber boxes, display cutouts, paper toys, gaskets, greeting cards, automobile door and body
panels, decals and many other products of the paper and plastic industries.
These machines are also used with electric die heaters for roll leafing, embossing and hot die cutting.
The words PLATEN or BRIDGE as used in this manual are synonymous and refer to the same part.
The Value Line of machines is constructed with a cast iron frame bridge and dual micrometer impression control. It is
clutch operated, with a live flywheel, and is designed for continuous operation, manual start with automatic stop, automatic start
and stop with adjustable dwell in the open and closed position. This machine is crank action in design.
MAIN PARTS
The main parts of the machine are the frame, bridge, connecting rods, flywheel, pinion shaft, main shaft and gear wheels.
DISTINGUISHING OPERATING FEATURES
The bridge makes a direct, square and theoretically perfect impact upon the die, rolling to the frame face, free and
unrestrained with perfect parallelism.
Adjustable bridge lugs are provided for setting the face of the bridge parallel with the face of the frame.
The face of the frame is inclined from the vertical, eliminating the need for frisket fingers, as the processed sheet lies
naturally against the bridge on this inclined angle.
All dies must be properly located so that the press load is balanced relative to the connecting rod pull. If this is
impossible, then bearers must be used to balance the load and prevent tipping of the bridge, causing slippage of the bridge lugs.
(See Makeready Instruction Manual.)
A hard steel cutting plate should always be used on the press. Use of a "soft" cutting surface will increase the press load
and reduce die life. Proper makeready procedures will result in cutting operations which allow cutting without the necessity of
the die contacting the cutting plate.
