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 down the register.
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.
