Fixing Crooked Perforations

If misaligned perforations appear after the parallel

folding station, first check for correct squareness setting of

the register guide relative to the buckle plate stop. If square,

the sheet deflector following the last buckle plate must be

set back slightly on the side on which the sheet is tending to

advance.

Adjustment can be made by inserting a card underlay of

suitable thickness. The affected sheet side then has to travel

a greater distance, so a perfect perforation can be made

without changing the fold position

.

Bottom Plate Lip Adjustment

Since paper qualities and thicknesses vary greatly, it is

essential that buckle plates are properly adjusted.

With thin papers, the lower buckle lip is brought slightly

forward. With thicker paper it must be set further back. The

buckle plate configuration is directly related to the thickness

and stiffness of the paper being folded. This relationship

must be taken into account if a high quality fold is to be

achieved.

The adjustments can be made by setting the nuts on the

top edge of the buckle plate to give the necessary reading

against a scale on the side buckle plate post. A pointer

marks the normal setting of the buckle plate. The inside

width between the buckle plate section rods can also be

varied without altering the setting of the buckle throat.
