18. The register is equipped with a bias
skew adjustment feature. This will aid in squaring
up folds on paper that was not cut square. This will
need to be adjusted after paper is able to be fed.
6.0 FINAL ADJUSTMENTS OF THE
PILE FEEDER & REGISTER
The pile feeder & register are designed with some
unique adjustments that will allow the operator to
fine tune the units to provide the most accurate and
productive set up possible.
1. Register Skew Adjustment - This is used
to aid in squaring up the sheets to the fold rolls
as the sheets enter the nip point of the first staion
folding unit. This will aid in acheiving a more
accurate fold
2. Register Gage Window - This allows the
operator to monitor how the sheet is being gaged
in the register gage before it enters the fold rolls
of the first station folding unit. Proper gaging is
indicated by the sheets have no gap between the
sheets and the gage with out being crowded into
the gage.
If the sheet is crowding the gage (rolling
up), then there may be an excess of marble weight
driving the sheet to hard into the gage. If the sheet
is not registering to the gage fully, then there may
not be enough marble weight to properly drive it
into the gage.
The register skew adjust may not be
properly adjusted for the stock being ran on the
folder.
Also, if the sheet is gaging properly, but
when it enters the nip of the fold rolls in the first
folding station, the sheet pulls one way or the
other, the fold roll bank may need adjusting.
3. Pile Height Sensor Adjustments - The
are three different adjustments on the pile height
sensor. Note: Please use caution when adjusting
the settings on the pile height sensor, as damage
may occur to the pile feeder.
A. Determine the width of sheets to be
folded.
B. On side of the operator side guard,
there is a blow bar settings chart. Locate the sheet
width to be folded on this chart and the position
the blow bar is recommended to be set at. Using
the numbers on the operator side of the blow bar,
set the blow bar to the recommended setting on
the chart. This is only a recommendation and may
need to be set up differently according to the stock
being ran.
C. Turn the pump on by pressing the
PUMP button on the first station.Now rotate the
blow bar using the lever attached to it so the sheet
seperation appears to be similar to the picture
shown below. The concept of the blow bar set
up is to have the top 7 - 8 sheets of stock to be
seperated and floating close to the sucker wheel.
17. Now the feeder, register and folding
unit(s) should be ready to begin final preparation
for folding. Turn the folding unit(s) drives on. The
register is driven by the 1st staion folding unit, and
the pile feeder will begin running at this time.
