Baumfolder BAUM20: Pile Folder 1st Station (from 2002 thru 2004) - Manual (Page 57)

PAGE 57 TP10243-2
This sheet is only a guide to setup and operation
of the Baum 2015/2018/2020 Pile feed folders.
Jobs will vary and procedures will need to be
modified.
1. Hand fold a sample as close as possible of the job to
be run. Mark the sample so that it is not lost during
setup. Measure the overall length and width of the sheet
if you do not already know them, using the scale located
on the holddown in the center of the register table.
2. Start with the feeder and move in progression to the
exit end of the last fold section to complete the setup of
the folder. There is no need to turn the power on until the
setup is complete.
3. Set the sideguide on the pile feeder to half of the width
of the sheet width using the scale on the frame. Remove
the LH sideguide for easy access to load paper. See Fig.
45.
4. Set the double front blow bar to the proper air set-
tings referring to the chart on the side of the control
cabinet. See Figures 46 and 47.
5. Set the double sheet detector using (2) thicknesses of
the stock being fed and insert into the lever and clip.
6. Load paper onto the pile feed platform. Be sure to fan
the paper before loading to add air in between the sheets
for easier feeding. Also note that the loading of the paper
must be positioned to correspond to the folding imposi-
tion that you want to achieve in the folding unit(s). You
must determine if you want the paper face up, or face
down, or head first, or tail first. Refer to your hand folded
sample to determine which foldplates you will be using
and the loading of the paper.
7. Install LH see-thru sideguide and position register
guide approximately 1/16 to 1/8” away from LH side of
paper on pile feeder to insure that paper can slide freely
during feeding. See figure 48.
8. Install the small metal clip that fastens to the end of
the register guide to keep an up-curl from riding over the
end of the register guide.
Check register marble configuration to make
sure that it matches the job that you are running.
At least (1) to (2) steel marbles are recommended
at the end of the register closest to the pile feeder
and (2) more at the end closest to the fold rollers.
The marble configuration in between depends
upon the weight of stock and whether the feeding
is landscape or portrait. To
