Lubrication Chart Final Word BERBER Adast Romayor 314 Preface The sound knowledge of your offset machine is an important basis for its fautiess operation and a basis to achieve good prints results. Moreover, the fact that the machine reacts upon every directive, is a pleasant encouragement for the operator himself, To know the principle of the machine, function of Its groups, sense of Its control ‘elements and to be able to take full advantage of its performance — those are great perfections which come back hundredfold in the everyday practice, bringing succes and satisfaction It Is our desire that by reading this Manual you acquire such perfections, Obviously, it Is not possible to get thoroughly familiarized with the machine by reading some chapters. Only If you add experience to your knowledge you will penetrate into all details ADAST ROMAYOR 314 press is based on the tried ADAST ROMAYOR 313 offset press. All the tried principles have been preserved to ensure faultless operation of the press, perfect print results and the characteristics — with the exception of the maximlum output which has been raised in AR 314 press to 7500 |.P.H. A series of perfections assures maximum service life of the press with higher performance and safety of operation. The machines are available provided with attachments — allowing numbering, perforating and Imprinting. We hope the machine becomes a rellable help In your work and ask you kindly to advise us of all things that may be the cause of your dissatisfaction. Also, advise us please of your own suggestions on how to improve the function or design of the machine. We are deeply concerned in to content all the owners of our machines. 1. Safety First Always exercise extreme care when operating or working on any printing press. The normal function of a printing press is to take paper Into the machine, process It and deliver it again outside of the press body. Any machine which operates in this manner has the potential of also taking foreign matter into its ‘operating mechanism. ‘Take care that this foreign matter is not your hand or ‘dress. While this machine has numerous guards and safety devices to protect the operator, It Is possible for the careliess operator to injure himgeit no. matter how many safety devices are Incorporated in the machine. The careful operator always treats his printing press with respect, recognizing thet careliess operation can injure him: He never makes adjustments or tries clean the machine when it Is running. He stops the machine, makes the settings and re-starts the press. A special care should be excercised when treating the printing plate, blanket or Impression cylinder, ‘The electric equipment installation corresponds with and is wired according to the Czechoslovak standard No. 341630. Adjustments, repair and maintenance of electrical equipment installation may only be carried out by authorized electricians. Keep In mind that before you begin to repair oF clean the electrical ‘switch board, the machine has to be disconnected from the mains by taking the supply cable plug out of the socket. Each day check all safety trips on press to be sure they are working. Heed all verbal and written Instructions and re- member the advices of the service engineer before ‘operating of servicing the press. Be sure press Is completely stopped betore touching ‘any operating part of the press Be sure everyone Is clear of press before starting up the press operation. Do not “jump” any electrical salety devices. All guards and covers must be secu- rely in place when press \s in operation. ‘Keep plane surfaces of press e.g. covers tree of tools, or other things. Keep cleannes around the press and do not place anything around the press to avold stumbling and Injury to yourselt. Give this Instruction book the press operator, do not file it away In the attice.

The manner in which you forward the machine inte the press room determines the width and height of the door. ‘Abide by the data of chart Chart A Transport manner Minimum door width Minimum door height Machine in crate Machine on skid plate only Machine alone (assembled) 1,890 1,840 1,276 41,540 4,120 1,480 It many occur that the door ot your press raom Is narrower or lower than given In the chart A. In such ‘a case enlarge the door by taking out a part of the ‘masonry, which takes less tlme than disassembling the press. Basically, we nat recommnend to disassemble the press. It takes a lot of time and, Moreover, you would enter the risk that after the reas is reassombied, It would no more be adjusted ‘a8 properly as it has beer in the factory. ‘The press should be erected on a solid, plane, Diagram B 2.950 concrete floor. Dimensions of the concrete floor space are recommended in the diagram 8. In substance, the dlagram B shows the machine ‘operating space. Around the preas there should be a free space for the operstion with a minimum ‘of 1 m on the sides and 80 om before and behind the ress. So for the erection of the machine you will be needing a space of at least: 295 x 312 cm. Adast Romayor 314 ee | ll, water or ink may drop on the floor under the press when you #f@ operating oF treating the pres: To avold contamination of the Noor, place a metal sheet plate under the press. Dimensions of the plate ‘can be choosen according to the diagram B. The plate edges should be rounded off to prevent Injury and ensure that the plate rim sits on the floor. The floor carrying capacity should also be taken into consideration. The machine AR 314 itself welghts 720 kg. Operating welght of the press with paper toads In feeder and delivery amounts In AR 314 to WOK. According to this the floor carrying capacity must be 500 kg/sq.m. for AD 314 press. When thingking about erection of the press bear in mind that the press cannot be installed In a place where sun rays come through window or roof of the ress room. “Unsultable Is also location near to heating equipment or n alr draught. Sun rays aa well as sit draught are often a cause of complicated troubles In the course of the printing operation. For the press room as an environmet, practically the ‘same fequirements apply as for @ paper store, I a temperature betwesh 18 up to 20° C a relative humidity range from 60 to 70 %. Dust nuisance Is to be kept to minimum: Experience tas shown that a number of troubles can ‘be caused by a weak electric supply network of the Print shop, To eliminate such troubles, your electric supply network for the installation of the press has to be proportioned in accordance with the chart C: ‘Call the authorized service engineer trom factory of from the agent to install the press an to put It In operation. The press should be levelled properly. Fit Is not, the fountain solution supply 18 uneven, as there is more solution on one side of the fountain than on its other side, Always ensure that the press 4s erected on a solid base and that its levelled with a aplrit gauge properly ‘When levelling the press, place the spirit gauge on the ink fountain roller. The described above has been ‘cross tevelting along the axis of the cylinders. Longitudinally It is not necessary to leval the press Provided the floor on which the machine rests Is lane adequately as it should be.

Inker and Dampening Units Operating Handle E The operating handle 1-b has five functional ons. Frora position “1” through to position “4” Ahmoperating handle Is to be shifted manually. From petition “4” to position “5” the operating handle can be shifted either manually or automatically. To shift the operation handle, tlt It away from the machine body and move it into the position required. As the position “5” has no siot in its segment, It Is necessary to retaln it by hand when shifting it from position “4” to position" Position “1” a) All roller of dampening and inker units are free. ) Ink form rollers and form dampeners are off plate. ¢) Ink ductor roller and water ductor roller do not supply Ink and water, respectively. ‘This position Is used after day's work in finished or when the press Is for a long period of time at standstill. The operationg handle should be In the position “1” also when the press I running without Ink to avold excess wear to the rubber covered rollers.

Feeder Pile Board The main parts of this group are the feeder pile board “4-a", manual drive “1-c", front plate 5-a and stop with weight 4-b, The feeder pile board proper serves forplling stock to be run. It is controlled by means of roller chains 4-¢ and guided on two ralls 4-0 Manual drive controls lowering and raising the feeder pile board. The feeder pile board is raised automati- cally as governed the feeler foot 4-0. Slats 5-b fixed t0 the front plate serve for guiding the sheets frontally, adjustable blast alr tubes §-c and adjustable leaf Springs &-d serve for separating the sheets. Stop with weight 4-b and side stops 4-f ensure proper position of the pile on the board. Trouble shooting 1. The feeder pile board cannot be raised by means of the hand wheel 1-c easily even when board is ‘empty. Check for tension of chains 4-c and tighten them if necessary. Clean and oil the guide rails 4-2 in accordance with the lubricating diagram. 2. Automatic raising of the feeler pile boards Is not reliable. Call the authorized service engineer to remedy this trouble. 3. Check the following if the sheets do not feed properly: 3.1 Incorrect adjustment of separators “5-d". Separators “5-d” can be adjusted at height by shifting them in the oval slot. Separators rigidity can also be adjusted by means of stiffening plate “5-e" whose control orifice is located under the separator body. 3.2 Adjustment at height of separating air tubes 5. ‘Separating air tubes can be adjusted at height by means of adjustment knob 1-h located on the operator's side of the press. 3.3 Separating air intensity. ‘Separating air supply to the tubes can be adjusted by means of knob 3-1 of the central box. 3.4 Feeler foot height adjustment — 4-d. Feefer foot height is adjusted by means of knob 1-j. According the feeler foot adjust- ment, sheets are picked up from the feeder pile board at a major or minor distance. When running lightweight stock, it is recom- ‘mendable to pick up the sheets from a greater depth to ensure their perfect separation. 12 Maintenance consists. in regular lubrication of functional parts in accordance with the lubricating diagram and in cleaning the parts from dust and ‘excess lubrication. Keep chains 4-c tightened Properly. 8. Pneumatic Feeder ‘The feeder takes the sheet from the pile and forwards it into the feeder conveyor. Sucker tube 6-a consists Of six telescopic suckers. Four of them — 6-b are fix and two of them 6-c can be shifted sideways accord- ing to the size of stock to be run. To ensure paratle. lity of suckers bottom edge to the feeder pile board when shifting extreme suckers, both the suckers tube and adjustable suckers are provided with an adjustment line whose lenght on the suckers tube indicates maximum range of suckers displacement. ‘When side adjustment is accomplished, lock suckers position with screw 6-d. Caution: After accomplishing suckers displacement, make ‘sure that no sucker could foul pull-in wheels 6-2. Sucker bottom movable part is designed to accommodate rubber ring 5-f which ensures safe reception of the sheets from the feeder pile boa ‘The press is equipped with the rings on manufactur When running minimum size, extreme suckers should be closed by shifting them to the L.H. or A.H. extreme position as far as they go against lever 6-f hub. After shifting the suckers, tighten screw 6-d to ‘ensure sucking of secondary alr. When running light- welght stock (30—50 g/sq.m.), use holddowns 6-I. Adjustmen of vacuur-air for the suckers Is carried ‘out by means of knob 3: located on the central control panel, Trouble shooting Check the following if sheets do not feed properly: 1. Replace worn or cracked rubber rings &-f 2. Mobility of the telescopic part of suckers 7~ is not sufficient. Remove the movable part after depressing catch 7-b, clean it, oil it or renew the sucker. 3. Check air hoses for craks, check for the operation of air distributor and air pump. Maintenance 1. Oil periodically telescopic suckers. 2. Clean air cleaner once per 3 to 6 months accord- ing to the dust nuisance level or replace the filtering element. 9. Feeder Conveyor ‘The conveyor forwards the sheet from the feeder tc the front lay. To plate 8-a are secured two side wals . &-b in which are mounted rollers 8-c and 8-d. Roller 8c derives its non-uniform motion from the driving ‘gear. Both rollers are interconnected by means of feedboard tapes B-d and each tape Is tightened > independently by means of pulley 8-6. Feedboard tapes can be shifted sideways by means of tighten- Ing pulleys. To do it, conveyor must be removed from the press. To run current sizes, the adjustment of feedboard tapes made in the factory need not. be changed. Feedboard tapes must be shifted for abnormal sizes only. When replacing damaged feedboard tapes make sure that the new tape is of the same thicknes and quality of surface. Otherwise it Is necessary to renew the whole set. Tiltable frame 6-h Is secured to the plate It is provided with all the necessary elements ‘ensuring safe transport of the sheet towards the front lays. Conveyor drive consists of a system of gears and chain wheels. The conveyor proper is coupied to the rive by means of pin coupling 8-f so that it can be ‘easily removed from the press. 9.1 Removing conveyor out of machine Prior to removing conveyor engage the press on Impression and turn the crank until the flange with slot in which Is inserted pin of coupling &-f is situated in the direction in which the conveyor is to be removed. After screwing off two fixing bolts 9a the conveyor can easily be removed. Proceed in an analogous way when mounting the ‘conveyor into the machine. When faulty sheets have to be removed from the ‘conveyor or when cleaning it, raise assembly 8-b by moving lever 8-c into the press. Lock the assembly In the upper position in th slot of lever 8-c, 9.3 Adjusting drive wheels ‘The drive wheels 10a are used to take the sheet from the feeder. They are mounted on conveyor assembly front bar and can be moved laterally according to size F' to be run and according to the ink areas. The drive ‘thoe!s have to ride always on the feedboard tape and Id not hinder the motion of suckers bar 6-8. The jon on the drive wheels can be adjusted by 8 of knurled knob 10-b so that it corresponds to kind of stock to be run, Adast Romayor 314 8.4 Position and adjusting the hold-down wheels The hold-down wheels 10-c can be adjusted both In longitudinal and transversal direction. Pressure on the wheels can be regulated according to the kind of stock to be run by means of adjusting screw 10-d. When sheet lead edge Is up to front lays, the wheels. ‘should be off the tall edge of sheet approx. 0.5 mm, 8.5 Positioning the rider ball cages ‘The rider balls 10-a are provided tor the control and | tooth feeding ofthe sects tothe front iyss iti | very-mporant thatthe bals have fee movement | ‘nin to all cages The der bale shoul bs positioned on the same feedboard tape as the hold-down wheels 10-c.

Spring ste! holddown are supplied wit ie press .8 Two-shest detector The two-sheet detector 10-g mounted on the tiltable frame front shaft prevents mechanically feeding of double sheet into the press. Adjust the detector according to thickness of sheets to be run by means of screw 10-h after releasing nut 10-1 Trouble shooting ‘The sheet should be forwarded to the front lays 80 that the sheet edge could not come to contact edge of feedboard tape when being registerd by the side lay. To comply with this requirement, either the feed- board tape or the pile on the feeder board has to be shifted. Maintenance The maintenance consists in regular lubrication of functional parts and in cleaning the parts from Ink residues and dried contaminants. If necessary, replace damaged feedboard tapes. B Adast Romayor 314 10. Side Lay The side lay provides lateral register of the sheets. ‘The side lay consists of two bodies 11-c for the L.H. register and R.H. register, respectively. Coarse adjustment of the side lay is carried out by shifting the side lay bodies 11-c on the shaft 11-b after lock screw 11-9 is loosened so that the side lay register plate is approximately 4 up to 6 mm from the sheet side edge. To perform left registration, shift R.H. body out of the forwarded sheet and to perform right registration, left body Is to be shifted. Fine adjustment is performed by turning knob 1-¢ and can be carried out even when press is running. Tension of the side lay roller can be adjusted in accordance with the type of stock to be run with knob 11-f after releasing nut 11-d. The tension of the side lay roller ‘should be adjusted utmost carefully to prevent ‘damage to the Sheet side edge and to prevent sheet from creating a wave between the side lay roller and the registering stop When switching from left registration to right registration (and vice versa), it is also necessary to change sense of the pull bar 11-2 movement. To change the pull bar movement sense, use T-wrench ingerting it into hole 2-c in the machine guard and turning the shaft 189° up to the stop. Trouble shooting 1. Roller 11-2 does not tum freely — clean and oil it. 11-2 does not bear on the sheet — clean roller guide. 3. Pull bar does not move at all or does not move smoothly — clean and oil the bar and check the spring for break. Maintenance Clean the side lay mechanism at regular intervals according to the dust nuisance (evel and oll it 11. Front Lay At the front lays, the sheet is positioned to register by means of two head stops. Front lays lateral adjustment with respect to size of stock to be run is performed by shifting bodies 12.a along the shaft 12-b after releasing screws 12-c. The bodies displacement is limited by the recess in the shaft which serves for location of the ball. The front and diagonal adjustment of sheet can be carried out by shifting head stops 12-d by means of screws 12- The turning of the screw by one tooth corresponds to ‘a movement of the head stop by 0,05 mm. Each stop can be shifted by 2 mm. "4 12. Impression Cylinder The impression cylinder is equipped with a set of grippers which hold the sheet while the Image is transferred onto the sheet. The impression cylinder ‘is provided with a miss sheet feeler detector. It trips off the press when the sheet is not properly gripped by the grippers. Surface of the Impression cylinder is protected agains! corrosion by suitable treatment. Basic adjustment of the distance between the cylinders has been made in the factory. Adjust the printing pressure at the necessary value according to the type and thickness of the stock to be printed by means of eccentric pin 19-a after foosening screw 13-b. Set up the printing pressure value according to the scale on the eccentric pin drum by turning it against sfot in body 13-c. Maintenance ‘The maintenance consists of regular lubrication and cleaning of the cylinder. The surtace of the cylinder has to be perfectly clean so that printing pressure could not be affected by local contamination. 13. Blanket Cylinder Blanket cylinder serves tor mounting the blanket The blanket comes with the press with clamp bars mounted. When replacing the blanket, holes must be punched for clamp bar screws. Lay the countersunk side of blanket bar on the blanket along the edge and mark position of holes. Punch holes 5 mm as marked. Mount blanket on bars firmly with screws provided. The blanket must be square and the bars mounted parallel to each other. 13.1 Mounting blanket on cylinder ) Roll press around by means of hand crank until the blanket cylinder lead edge is accessible. b) Place clamp bar 13-d with the blanket mounted into slot and tighten screws 13-e. ©) Hold the tail ege of the blanket up and roll the press around until cylinder tall edge slot is accessible, Put the tail edge clamping bar 13-4 Into the stot and tighten screws 13-8. 4) Either blanket cylinder clamp bar should be Positioned in slots at the same distance from the cylinder gap edge. 14. Plate Cylinder Plate cylinder serves for mounting and tensioning the plate. Surtace of the plate cylinder Is protected against corrosion by suitable treatment. Corrosion + may be caused by chemicals used for printing. Prior to mounting the printing plate, be sure that the surface of the plate cylinder is throughly clean. 14.1 Plate cylinder with hook clamping Printing plate is clamped by means of hooks. Printing plate has to be therefore provided with the corresponding holes. Steps in mounting the plate a) Turn the plate cylinder by means of hand crank until access to clamp hooks 13-f is obtained. b) Mount the plate onto the hooks, While holding the plate tail, roll the press around until the tipping bar with hooks appears. Tip the bar and ‘mount the hooks into the holes. Release the bar carefull c) Engage the press on impression by means of lever 3-a and roll the press around to tighten the plate on the cylinder. Depress moderately the tightened plate to the cylinder gap edg Tumbling the plate To shift the plate In order to centre the work on the sheet front to back there is provision to tumble the cylinder forward or backward. To tumble the cylin- der, loosen clamp screw 13-9 and turn worm 13-h to bring the cylinder Into position required according to the scale. After adjustment is made, retighten the ‘clamp screw. 14.2 Cocking the plate cylinder provided with hook ‘clamping ‘The plate cylinder is designed so that the plate can be shifted dlagonally to square the work on front to back. ‘To mount and tumble the plate, proceed as per paragraph 1) Cocking the plate E The diagonal adjustment can be made by turning knob 14-2. Read the adjustment value on scale 14-b. revolution of the knob gives a shiftment of the by approx. 1,5 mm. If necessary, release the before cocking proper by means of tipping bar. Adast Romayor 314 14.3 Plate cylinder with clamps ‘The cylinder is designed so that the plate without holes punched can be clamped. After the plate is clamped, tighten it by turning the eccentric pins To tumble the plate, proceed as per paragraph 14.1. To adjust the plate diagonally, release the plate by ‘means of tightening eccentric pins and proceed a8 per paragraph 14.2. 15. Selecting Printing Speed To set up the printing speed, use knob 3-d on the press central contro! panel and handle 1-9 which — when being lifted — raises the press speed’ by 2,500 rev. /hour. To increase the speed by means of the handle, printing pressure has to be tripped on. The values can be read on speed indicator 3-g divided into two parts, namely scale 15-a (values from 2 up to 5), scale 15-b (values from 5 up to 7,8). Speed on ‘scale 15-a can be adjusted by means of knob 3-b. Alter raising lever 1-9, speed value can be read on ‘scale 15-b. When the printing process is interrupted and the printing pressure tripped off, the speed drops automatically to the valu® according to scale 15-2, Procedure 48) By means of knob 3-d adjust the printing speed according to scale 15-a at 3,000 IPH b) Engage the press on Impression by means of knob 3-a. 6) Ralae lever 1-9 to Increase the printing speed 10 5,500 IPH according to scale 15-b. ‘The shiftment of lever 1-9 Into the upper position Is to be performed continuously to prevent disturbing Impact Caution: ‘Speed can only changed when the press is running. 15 Adast Romayor 314 16. Hand Crank Hand crank 1-ais used to roll the press around when tightening the plate, blanket etc. and, at the same time, it creates a coupling for the mechanical drive of the press. Hand crank is mounted with push fit on the shaft and. has three functional positions: 1, Neutral position when the friction coupling is disengaged and the crank can be turned without being turned the cylinders. 2. In the first position the crank is inserted towards the side wall. The friction coupling is engaged and the press Is driven mechanically. 3. Inthe second position, the hand crank is shifted from the side wall and by means of the pin coupling it is coupled to the shaft. This position serves for tuning over the cylinders manually. The crank Js locked in the neutral and the second position by means of catch 16-a, Caution: When resetting the hand crank from the working position 1 into the neutral position, the coupling push button mug? not be depressed.’ Otherwise the neutral position could be overrun and the pin coupling engaged and the operator could suffer Injury by the hand crank. To insert the crank from the neutral position into position 2, catch 16-a must be depressed. To insert the crank into Position 2, press hhas to be at standstill. Trouble shooting 1. Friction cone clutch slips — remove body crank 16-c by depressing spring collar 16-a and slide the body off the shaft. Adjust the friction clutch by means of two screws located under the crank body. 2. Function of catch 16-a Is not reliable — renew renew the catch. Maintenance Perform lubrification according to the lubrication chart. {To lubricate the hand crank, its body is to be removed.) 17. Central Control Panel ‘The central control panet is iocated on the operator's side of the press and houses the main control 16 ‘elements. Functions of the particular control elements are designated with symbols and described in chapter No. 5. Located on the panel is also an IPH counter provided with a reset button. The (PH counter can by put out of action by means of knob 3-c. In View of the fact that there exists only one possible way of deriving the counter drive, the counter indicates two impressions more upon each engage- ‘ment of the press on impression and interruption of the printing process. 18. Dampening Unit ‘The dampening unit is formed by a set of rollers, which apply a thin and even film of water onto the printing plate during the printing process. 18.1 Setting the dampening roller Pressure of the form rollers 18-a, 18-b onto the print- ing plate is produced by springs 17-a via cleaning roller 18-c secured by levers 17-b. To obtain the proper pressure between the form rollers and the printing plate, adjust clearance between form roller earings and discs 17-c which should be of 1 mm. max.

The adjustment is done for both form roller Adjustment of pressure between vibrator roller 18-d and lower form dampener is made by me 19-2 after releasing nut 19-b. After the adjustment is made, retighten the nut. ‘Adjustment of pressure between water fountain roller 18 and ductor roller 18-f is made by regulating screws 17-0. During the adjustment, check for the pressure Adjusted by using a paper strip or a piece of film. The Pressure must be even along entire length of the rollers, Amount of water supplied Into the dampening unit can be regulated by means of lever 1-n according to scale on the guard. To adjust local supply use rubber wipers 17-f mounted on shaft 17-9 which are adjustabie to any position along their shaft. Check for proper pressure of form rollers upon the printing plate after press has been installed and always when New dampening rollers sleeves are used. ‘Trouble shooting 1. Non-uniform inking — a) ductor roller adjusted incorrectly — check for the pressure uniform adjustment, b) rollers are locally sunk or swollen up ~renew them, ) check for the correct levelling of the press Adast Romayor 314 Maintaining water rollers On the condition of the dampening rollers depends the quality of the printing results and life of image on the plate. The textile sleeves should be soft and pliable. If the sleeve gets hard over night it means that it has soaked with gum solution. This can be caused also due to insufficient wash-down of gum before starting the printing process. To remove the ‘um dried up on the rollers, dip them repeatedly In clean wat After the day's work Is finished, clean the sleeves in cold or lukewarm water using a soft brush. Hang the rollers at their bearings so that the surface of the rollers does not contact any object. Keep surface of the metal rollers clean to maintain water affininty. Do not use only water or for the printing process. Your results will be much better when you use fountain solutions as recommended by the printing plate manufacturers. Before starting the printing proces: oil water rollers bearings. 19. Inker Unit ‘The inker unit consists of a set of rollers which apply 4 thin film of ink onto the printing plate. 10.1 Setting pressure of rollers ‘The Ink form rollers 20-a, 20-b, 20-c are locked by means of catch 21-d in the brackets which ensure ‘that when adjusting the pressure between form rollers and the printing plate, the pressure already adjusted between form rollers and vibrator rollers will nol change and vice vertsa. Adjustment of pressure between form rollers 20-b, 20-c and vitrator roller 20-0 is made by means of ‘screws 21-a, ‘Adjustment of pressure between form roller 20-b and vibrator roller 20-d is made by means of screw 21-b located In the hole In the side wall. ‘Adjustment of pressure between form roller 20-4 and vibrator roller 20-d is also made by means of screw 2a, ‘Adjust the pressure with dry rollers using a steel fesler strip 0.1 mm thick. The pressure Is adjusted Properly when a uniform tension Is required to pull the feeler strip from between the rollers (the rollers have to be dry). Mount the plate on the cylinder and adjust pressure between form rollers 20-a, 20-b, 20-c and the plate cylinder by means of screws 21-c. {nk up the inker unit. Turn over the plate cylinder so that the tightened plate be located under the form rollers. While press Is at standstill, move the operat- Jing handle 1-b by hand into position “5” and return It Into position “4”. Thus you will print three stripes on the plate to check for the proper pressure adjust- ment. The width of each of the stripes should be ‘even along entire length. Roller Width of stripe 3.7 mm 4.8 mm 44 mm ‘The pressure of ink form rollers on the printing plate has a vital bearing on the quality of the printed image. Therefore the pressure should be checked at regular intervals. ‘Amount of ink supplied into inker unit is adjustable with lever t-n and scale on the machine guard. An instant increase in ink supply can be effected by loosening the wing nuts 22-a and their retightening after a short while. ‘When adjusting an even thickness of ink film on the ink fountain roller, shift the operating contro! handle 41-b into position “2” and by means of hand crank roll the press around until the Ink ductor roller comes to bear against the ink fountain roller. Turn over the ink fountain roller by means of hand lever 1-o and adjust at the same time film thickness. The adjustment is made by means of a set of regulating screws 22-b which force the fountain roller blade against the fountain roller. When printing with inks of various colours, use the fountain dividers 22-c to separate the Individual inks {in the fountain. 19.2 Setting ductor roller Put lever 1-n into zero position and shift Inker unit ‘operating hadle 1-b into position “2”. Turn the hand crank until the ductor roller is at minimum distance from the Ink fountain roller. Put a strip of cardboard 0.5 mm thick between the roler. The tension required to the strip from between the rollers should bbe even, To carry out the adjustment, use regulating screws 23-a. ‘Trouble shooting 1, Non-unlform inking of the area: — check up the blanket surface. Renew defective blanket. — ductor roller adjusted Improperly — check for the adjustment and make the adjustment, if — rollers are locally sunk or swollen up or damaged — renew them = check for the ink film adjustment on the ink fountain roller. 2, Smudges on non-Image area of the sheet — blurring: — axial backlash of the ink form roller — take up the backlash with the aid of washers. 7 Adast Romayor 314 Wash the Inker unit rolers every day after the day's work is finished. A wash-up device as per para- graph 20 is provided for fast and thorough wash-ups. ‘When removing rubber coated rollers make sure they do not bear against ahard pad or sharp objects. Have the operating handle 1-b always in position “1” whenever the press is at standstill or whenever the Press runs without ink. By adhering to this advice you wil! eliminate excessive and rapid wear of the rollers. When the press should be at standstill for a longer period of time, take out pressure rollers and ink distributing rollers. 20. Wash-up Device ‘The wash-up device is provided to wash the Inker unit rollers quickly and easily. It is mounted on ducter roller shaft 23-b and locked in place with pins 24-b. Use the device as follows: 2) Remove tesidue of ink from the fountain and tilt the fountain after wing nuts 24-c are loosened. b) Wash the fountain, the blade and ink fountain roller by hand using a cleaner solvent together with ductor roller which has been taken out of the brackets in advance. Push operating control lever 1-b into position “3 Start up the press and with regulating screws 24-a force the blade against the inker roller. Gr dually pour sufficient amount of cleaner solvent in between the rollers. Avoid excess amount of the cleaner solvent’ as otherwise it would splash down onto the cylinders. 4) As s00n as the rollers are clean and dry, disen- gage the wash-up blade and shift the operating control handle 1-b into position “". Take the wash-up device out the press and clean it thoroughly with solvent. Special care should be exercised about the wash-up blade. It should be soft and pliable so as to wipe off the ink efficiently and not to cause damage to the, roller. The wash-up should be performed at about 5,000 rev. hour. °) q) 21. Chain Delivery ‘After the sheet are printed, they are transferred from 18 ‘the impression cylinder grippers. The sheets are then carried out and dropped on the delivery dolly where they are neatly jogged. The pile recedes autom tically during the printing operation until It reaches floor position, at which time a limit switch shuts off feeding sheets. With the limit switch in the “OFF” position the press cannot be started. 21.1 Setting the delivery wheels The delivery unit is provided with skeleton wheels 25-c. Between the skeleton wheels removable shafts 25-a are located. The shafts carry a number of small delivery wheels 25-b. Move the delivery wheels along their shafts to such positions so as to avoid the printed areas. To remove the shafts, pull them to one side compressing the springs and ‘take them out at their other end 21.2 Sheet release timing The time at which the sheets are dropped on the dell- very dolly depends on printing speed and type of stock and can be adjusted by means of cam 25-d. To adjust the cam, turn knob 1-1 after releasing knob 1m. The adjustment can be made while the press is, running. 21.3 Setting the joggers According to the size of sheet to be printed adjust position of side joggers 25-e by moving them along the shaft, after releasing screw 25-f. ‘Adjustment of the rear jogger can be made by means of knob 1-f. Adjust the rear jogger even while the press is running since it Is provided with an emer- gency friction clutch. 21.4 Inspecting sheets ‘The chain delivery unit is provided with a safety ‘cover. When raising the cover, the press is tripped off. The printed sheets can, however, be removed for inspection without raising this cover. To pull sheets out of the delivery for closer inspection, move the handle 25-g upwards. By moving the handle, the front stops 25-h swing clear and auxiliary arm 25-1 shifts to position above the pile, so that the printed ‘sheets are dropped on this auxiliary arm, while from below the sheet can be pulled out for inspection. After moving handle 25-9 into its initlal position, sheets collected on the auxiliary arm will fall onto the delivery dolly 21.5 Tightening delivery chains Delivery chains 25-j can be tightened by means of screw 25-k after loosening nut 25-1. Tighten both chains at the same time and retighten the nuts.

Air Distribution System ‘The air distribution system is provided to supply the Individual functional elements, namely the feeder {and the chain delivery, with vacuum and pressure air. Conditions within the system are determined by setting the safety vaives. Turn knobs 1-k, 3-8, 3-1 are provided for fine regulation of air. Handle 3-f Is Provided to shut off feeder instantaneously. If it becomes necessary to dismantle the hoses. from header sockets (when cleaning the system, renewing bearings etc.), mount the hoses according to fig. 23. ‘The header body has to be in Its initial position with regards to the transfer of the sheet to the coveyor. To do the adjustment, use eccentric pin 30-c. Maintenance Clean suction filter 30-a with regards to nuisance of environment once per 3 to 6 months and renew the filter insert, if necessary. Lubricate moderately bearing 30-b thus ensuring that lubricant could not get into the air distribution system. 24. Machine Erection a) Untie cords securing some parts of the machine during the transportation. b) Remove at covers of the press. ) Open the crate containing the accessories, take ‘out hand crank 1-a and mount in onto the press. d) Remove preservative grease from all parts of the press. To remove grease, use petrol oF solvent Used for cleaning the rollers. ) Clean the cone of drive conversion unit with petrol. When stored for a long period of time, corrosion may appear on its surface since in view of its function it cannot be preserved for trans- port and storing with grease. 1) When levelling the press, place the spirit gauge ‘on the ink fountain roller. The press should be erected firmly on the floor with all the four frame legs bearing against the floor. If necessary, pack the legs with metallic pads. 9) Check up basic printing pressures. Use feelor gauge 1.92 mm for plate and blanket cylinders (plate 0.1 mm thick) and feeler gauge 1,8 mm for blanket and impression cylinders. To do the checking, printing preseures have to be engaged. 20 1h} Lubricate all tubricating points according to the lubricating chart. Check for oll level In the alr pump. When the press has not been operated for a longer period of time, pre-lubricate the alr ump with 5 to 10 drops of oll Into the alr pump suction sockst to prevent dry running of the pump blades during the starting up. 1) Make sure the mains voltage coincides with the voltage of the electrical equipment of the press as connected on manufacture. 1) Inview of the fact that all guards are provided with positive protection, they must be lowered before starting the press. With the guards raised, the press cannot be started up. k) After connecting the press to the mains, start up the electric motor and check for the direction of rotation according to the red arrow on the electric motor. or on the drive conversion unit pulley. To start the press, the hand crank has to be put into neutral position. 1) Check for the correct operation of hinged guards. When raising the guards, the electric motor must, be tripped off. m) Take out lever 1-9 for raising the speed trom the box containing accessories and mount it into the press. 1) Mount all guards of the press and control ‘elements and fit in the delivery dolly, ©} Mount into the press all inker unit rol ing to the diagram of inking rollers.

Fill bottle with solution and place it into the bracket located on the press L.H. side. b) Put adequate amount of ink into the ink fountain and with regulating screws adjust the ink fitm thickness on the Ink fountain roller — seo chapter 19. ©) Start up the press, shift the operating control handle 1-b into position “2" and adjust the Ink amount supply. Shift the operating handle 1-b into position “3” and adjust water amount supply to moisten the dampening rollers. 4) Treat the printing plate and blanket to prepare them for the printing process. ©) Start up the press and shift the operating control handle 1-b into position “4” to moisten the plate. Shift the handle by hand into position “S” to ink up the plate (this not required on process inter- ruptions). Return the operatin control handle into position or 1) Engage the press on Impression with lever 3-2 and print several sheets. Check the paper passage through the press. 9) After the required number of copies is printed, turn lever 1-f into position “0”. The feeding of sheets is thus shut off and after passing the last sheet through the press, It trips off auto- matically printing pressure, interrupts water and Ink supply. h) Check the quality of image printed on the paper and correct adjustment of respective control ‘elements, if necessary. 27. Printing Process When a trouble occurs In the feeding, transport ‘of delivery of sheets, stop suction by means of lever 3-1. Put the hand crank into neutral position. Make the repair and go on printing. After the last sneet has been received from the feeder pile board, the press trips off automatically the printing pressure. Trip off the press with push button &S2and with hand wheel 1-d lower the delivery dolly to bring it to the floor 80 that you can drive dolly out of press. A limit will switch off the drive motor when dolly reaches the floor. Drive in with empty delivery Golly and raise it into upper working position. The press will be prepared to continue the production. To facilitate the attendance, two delivery dollies can be supplied on special order. 28. Ending the Process a) Shift the operating control handle 1-b into position “1”. b) Wash and gum the printing plate and take it out of the press. ¢) Wash up the bianket. 4) Take out the dampening roller thoroughly their textile sleeves. @) Wash up the inker unit rolles using the wash Up device as per paragraph 20. and wash 29. Maintenance of the Press Koop the press clean to avoid unnecessary weer and breakdowns. Proper maintenance, which takes ‘a minim of time and effort, will pay off in many hours of trouble free operation. The most important part of maintenance is lubri- cation and it is therefore necessary to pay it the attention it well deserves. Believe that those several ‘minutes you exert to lubricate the press once a week could change to hours of down time in case you give up lubrication. The oll points are marked in red. Besides, oll all friction surfaces like gaars, chains, cams, ralls etc. Oil according to the instructions given in the tubri- cation chart. Dampening unit rollers ball bearings will require more frequent lubrication than those ball bearings which will not be exposed to water or clear ing agents. an Adast Romayor 314 —————— ———— eee ee 30.
