Squeegee/Floodbar
WARNING:
Before entering between print heads, always push in Emergency Stop button
and disconnect Cycle Interruption Cords. Refer to the beginning of this section for detailed
information.
Install
Squeegee/
Floodbar
The squeegee and floodbar are installed on their
individual mounting bars using pneumatic clamps.
The floodbar is mounted to the rear mounting bar
and the squeegee is mounted to the front
mounting bar. Install the floodbar first by
positioning the floodbar with the angle on the
floodbar facing towards the front of the press.
Center the floodbar on the mounting bar and lift
the floodbar up so that the “U” shaped top of the
floodbar engages the mounting bar. Center the
floodbar and engage the pneumatic clamps using
the switches located on the print station control
panel.
The squeegee is installed in the same manner as
described for the floodbar.
WARNING:
Before entering between print heads, always push in Emergency Stop button
and disconnect Cycle Interruption Cords. Refer to the beginning of this section for detailed
information.
Squeegee/
Floodbar Angle
Adjustment
Both the floodbar and the squeegee are provided
with an angle adjustment. The greater the angle,
the more ink the squeegee deposits during the
print stroke. Decreasing the angle reduces the ink
deposit. The same is true for the angle of the
floodbar. A 15-20 degree angle for the squeegee
and floodbar is a good starting point. A reference
scale is stamped into the angle bracket for ease of
adjustment.
To adjust the angle of the floodbar or squeegee,
loosen the lock handle (1) on the angle brackets.
Position the floodbar and/or squeegee to the
desired angle and tighten the lock handles.
