10. Each side guide has a sheet guide
drag block with pins. Each sheet guide drag
block has 2 pins. One pin will have a rubber
bumper on the lower end, the other will not.
Use of the rubber bumpers is dependent on the
stock. Use the rubber bumpers to prevent the
feeder from pulling doubles on to the register.
11.Using the handwheel, adjust the
register gage to approximately 1/6” away
from the edge of the paper stack. This will
allow the register gage to engage the sheet
as it travels down the register, squaring it
to the fold rolls. For instance, if the right
hand side guide on the feeder is set to 5.00”
(127.00mm), set the register gage to 5.125”
(130.17mm), using the scale provided on the
register as a guide.
12. Move the sheet support to the right
hand side of the register so that the right hand
edge of the stock will be supported by the sheet
support. This will aid in the paper traveling easily
13. The pile feeder and register is shipped
with two types of marbles for the register gage.
These may be used in different combinations,
depending on the stock being folded. It is
recommended that there be at least 2 steel marbles
in the first 4 to six positions of the gage closest
to the pile feeder. This will aid in the paper being
pulled off the sucker wheel, and not stumbling
on the register gage. This is only a suggestion for
initially setting up the register gage. The marbles
will need to be adjusted depending on the weight
and stiffness of the paper.There is a “window”
cutout on the register gage closest to the fold rolls
on the 1st folding station. This cutout is provided
to give the operator an idea of how the sheet is
actually gaging to the register gage. If the sheet
is not touching the inside vertical surface, more
steel marbles may be required to drive the sheet
closer to the gage surface. If the sheet is actually
trying to curl up in the register gage, then the
marbles selected are providing to much drive, and
steel marbles may need to be replaced with plastic
marbles.
