Section 3: Calibration of Zero Baumset
Before the automatic roll setting feature can be used, it is necessary to calibrate it to
ensure that the fold rolls are suspended the proper amount when paper is inserted into
the Baumset tension screws. To calibrate the Zero Baumset, you should do the
following:
1.
Tear or cut some strips of paper approximately ½: x 1: in length. It is best to use 50-60#
offset stock or equivalent, but some other weight can be used providing the same stock
is used for all the adjustments.
2.
Push down on the lever for the #1 Baumset on the left
hand side of the folder. Insert a single thickness of
one of the paper strips, prepared in step #1, in the
Baumset tension screw. Gently push up on the
Baumset lever to make sure it is seated.
3.
Loosen the Baumset knob assembly, which locks the
tension screw in place.
4.
Insert a single thickness of paper stock, of the same
weight as used in the Zero Baumset device, between
the #1 fold roll and the stationary fold roll. Be sure the
paper is free of tears or folds. The strip of paper
should be inserted approximately 1: from the left hand
roll band or between the first rubber segment of the
combination fold roll. To insert the strip of paper, turn
the handwheel counterclockwise, rocking back and
forth to be sure the rollers are seated. (Note: When
setting the #3 and #5 Baumsets, it will be necessary to
turn the handwheel clockwise to roll the strip in place.)
5.
Adjust the micro adjustment know until you can pull the strip of paper out from between
the #1 and stationary roll using a steady, light pull. You should feel and even drag of the
sheet.
6.
Tighten the Baumset lock knob. Remove the pull strips.
7.
Repeat the procedure outlined in steps #2 through #6 for the #1 RH Baumset.
8.
Check the adjustment on both the LH and RH sides of the fold rolls to ensure an even
pull on each side.
9.
Repeat the process outlined in steps #2 through #8 for the #2, #3, #4 and #5 Baumsets.
Be sure to use the same thickness of paper throughout the calibration.
