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.
