Process description The table below explains the different stages in the process and the
corresponding sections:

Stage Corresponding Section Description

1 In-feed Section The plate enters the Processor, either automatically


from an image setter or manually by an operator. As
it enters the Processor it passes over a photo-
electric sensor that detects the plate and starts the
Processor.
The in-feed rollers increase speed and transport the
plate through the various sections. As it progresses
through, sections are activated and deactivated in
sequence.
The plate is kept within sensor range by the first
guide roller and enters the developer section as it
passes under the powered divert roller.
2 Developer Section The plate is guided down into the developer where it
passes under a rotating scrub roller.
The developer is constantly pumped from the tank,
through two filters and returns to the tank via a
submerged port, and spraybar with flow adjustment
capability.
The developer temperature is monitored via a probe
controlling either a heater or chiller, as required.
Developer replenisher is added to the tank based on
m² of plate processed.
Any excess developer then overflows into the rear
section of the tank and to waste.
Both waste and replenisher bottles have level
sensors.
There is also an auto-fill feature as standard.

AUTOLITH TP

Instruction manual 2

April 20012000
November Page 15

Stage Corresponding Section Description

3 Wash section – Water Save After the plate has been developed it is then washed
(Standard configuration) with water on both sides.
It passes through a set of nip rollers and then under a
rotating scrub roller.
The wash water is held in the tank and is pumped
onto the rollers and plate surfaces via three spray
bars.
The tank is filled automatically, controlled by a level
sensor.
Fresh water is added to the tank, at a pre-set
amount, to reduce overall water consumption.
This water is then allowed to overflow to drain.

Wash Section – Mains wash


As an alternative to using recycled water, it is
(Alternative configuration)
possible to reconfigure the Processor to run on mains
wash. This change to the water section allows
mains water to be fed directly to the spraybars, and
then via the water waste pipe to drain.
The necessary mechanical parts are included in the
Installation Kit.
If this conversion is carried out, the mains wash
function will need to be activated via the configuration
screen on Androdiags.

4 Gum/Finisher Section A pump draws finisher from a bottle situated under


the Processor and delivers it through a flow control
valve and nozzle into the space between a meniscus
roller and the top nip roller. The top nip roller applies
the finisher to the plate.
A level sensor in the bottle prevents the pump from
operating if the level is too low.
5 Drier Section A centrifugal fan and electric heater element supply
hot air to upper and lower manifold tubes which direct
the air to dry both sides of the plate.
6 Exit Section At the rear of the drier section there are two exit
sensors. These are used to detect the plate exiting
the Processor. From this the area of the plate is
calculated and replenisher is added accordingly.
These sensors also act as plate jam detectors.
The processed plate is then output from the
Processor via the final drive assembly.

3.5 Prescriptions and precautions concerning rollers

The following prescriptions and precautions allow you to prevent damage to


the rollers or the Processor.

Handling rollers Be careful not to damage the rollers when you take them out of the
Processor:
• Make sure that the rubber surface of a roller does not rest on the edge of
a sink or a tray.
• Make sure that there is no contact between the gears and the rubber
surfaces when you place rollers on top of each other.
Keep in-feed rollers dry The in-feed rollers should never come into contact with developer or any
other liquid. Moistened in-feed rollers might cause image quality problems for
subsequent plates.
Therefore:
• Never pull back a printing plate once it has been picked by the in-feed
rollers.
• In case of a plate jam in the developer section, stop the Processor, and
always release the rollers to remove the plate.
• In case of moistened in-feed rollers or diverter roller assembly, always
clean them with water and dry them using a clean cloth.
Please refer to Assembling the Developer Section Components on page 84.

Bottom rollers Before the Processor enters an Active state, make sure that all bottom rollers
have been installed correctly.
If a bottom roller has been provided with a gear, make sure that this gear
engages correctly when installing the corresponding top roller.
Top rollers Before the Processors enters an Active state, make sure that all top rollers
have been installed correctly and pushed towards the left hand side as far as
possible.
Make sure the tension levers on each side of the rollers are correctly set.
Lock securely and make sure that all gears engage correctly (where
appropriate).
The levers are locked when they are pointing inwards towards the centre of
the Processor.
Also refer to ‘Removing Rollers’ on page 81 and ‘Re-installing Rollers’ on
page 82.

4.2 General description

Scope In order for the plate to be accurately developed, the developer


temperature must be tightly controlled via the developer heater and
the chiller unit.
General Description The chiller unit is fitted with a tank which contains water that has
been chilled using an integral refrigeration unit. On demand by the
Processor, the chilled water is pumped from the chilled water tank
through a cooling tube, situated in the bottom of the Processor
developer tank. This removes excess heat from the developer and
subsequently reduces the developer temperature.
Electrical Safety
Switch off, disconnect power and lock off all electrical supplies
before carrying out any servicing of the chiller unit.

Work on electrical components must only be performed by qualified


personnel.

Environment The refrigeration components are charged with a gas which is


considered safe for the environment. However, it is recommended
that at the end of the chiller unit’s useful life or during repair of the
refrigeration components, the gas is reclaimed and not released into
the atmosphere.

4.3 Operation

General Please note that if the Autolith TP Processor is turned Off and
isolated, then all electrical power is also off to the chiller unit.
Although the water tank is well insulated, high ambient temperatures
will eventually raise the chiller Unit’s water temperature. This point
must be considered when turning the Processor Off.
Daily Start Up Check the water level in the chilled water tank and top up as
necessary.

5.12.3 Viewing and setting the developer replenishment rates

Overview The Processor will add Replenishment solution to the Developer bath
2
based on the m of Plate Processed or on a time period for which the
Processor has been Idle. These are Factory Preset rates and can be
viewed on the display.
Accessing the The Developer exhaustion menu is accessed by selecting MENU from
Replenishment Rates any screen and then pressing the >> Key until Developer is
displayed. The two Replen rates are Factory Preset at the values
displayed.
How the Processor calculates the replenishment rates.
1. The Replenishment rate (plate area based)
• The plate size to be processed is entered into the Format menu,
plate length x width.
• When a plate is processed as it exits the Processor it passes over
a sensor. From the time it takes to pass over the sensor, the
control system calculates the length of the plate.
• The length is then compared to the format list and if there is a
match then, using the width information, the Processor calculates
the area.
• This figure is then stored, if it is greater than 1m² then the
replenish pump adds in the required amount of replenishment
2
defined in ml/m .
• If the figure is less than 1m² then this figure is stored as more
plates are processed until 1m² is reached, then replenishment is
added.
2. The Standby Replenishment rate ( time based)
• The Sby Replen rate is applied during Processor Wake Up Cycles
• The Processor performs wake up cycles when it is in the Inactive
mode
• The Sby rate defines how much developer replenishment is added
per wake up cycle which occurs for one minute every five minutes
• The Sby Replen rate is therefore defined in ml/hr

6.8 Cleaning Frequency

Why cleaning To retain processing quality, cleaning is essential and must be


considered the very issue in maintaining your AUTOLITH TP. You
will avoid a lot of problems when you clean the Processor as
described in this section.
Consequences of bad or lack of cleaning may be:
• Low image quality after processing
• Visible marks on the image side of the plate
Three levels of cleaning Three levels of cleaning have to be considered when it comes to
maintaining the optimum processing results of the AUTOLITH TP:
• Daily cleaning (approx. 15 minutes) each day irrespective of
processed m².
• Weekly cleaning (approx 2 hours) every developer change

6.14 Preparing for Inactive Periods or Holidays

Holiday filling Solutions that remain in the tanks during a long period of inactivity
will start producing odours. To avoid problems a holiday filling is
required when the Processor will not be used during a longer
period of time ie. Longer than one week.
Inactive during less than one If the AUTOLITH TP 85 / 105 remains unused during less than
week one week, it is sufficient to switch to ‘Inactive’ mode. The
Processor will then manage everything by itself, ie. Replenishing,
refilling and optimising solution temperatures.
Refer to ‘De-Activating the Processor’ on page 32.

8.3 Status messages

What are Status messages Status messages provide the operator with information about the
current operation that the Processor is performing.
Overview The table below explains the meaning of the status messages:
Status Message Explanation
INACTIVE The Processor is in an inoperable state during which the power consumption
is reduced to an absolute minimum.
The inactive state corresponds to the OFF mode. The state of the Processor
can be determined by visually examining the message in the display and/or
indicator above the ON/OFF key.
Some alarm messages may be displayed in this mode.
The Processor will enter a Wake Up Cycle at regular intervals. During this
Wake Up Cycle the developer recirculation pump will run. Also a small amount
of developer replenishment will be added to the developer tank at certain
intervals during the Wake Up Cycle. The amount of developer replenishment
will be set on the touch panel and displayed under the SET DEV REPLEN
screen,
POWER IS STILL APPLIED TO THE PROCESSOR WHEN IN THE
INACTIVE STATE. FOR SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE, REFER TO
PAGE 4
The Processor enters the INACTIVE mode in one of the following cases:
• When the Processor is turned off by means of the “On/Off” key.
• When the Processor enters a pre-programmed inactive period by means
of the agenda function.
• If the Processor has recently had power applied by switching on the mains
supply switch. After displaying the Set-Up screen, the display will show
the Developer Changed? Screen. If NO or YES is selected then the
Processor will enter the INACTIVE mode.
Note: If YES is selected this will reset the plate counter, plate area total and
the days total. If after this no plates are processed and the power is then
switched Off and On again, the display will go from SET UP to INACTIVE
without asking if the developer has been changed. This is because as the
Processor has not seen any plates, it assumes that the developer has not
been changed. You will need to press the ON/OFF key once to move onto the
WAIT mode.

Status Messages (continued)

Status Message Explanation


WAIT The Processor is not ready to operate and cannot accept a printing plate.
This may indicate an alarm condition and an alarm message on the display.
The developer temperature is now controlled. Heating or cooling will take place, and
the developer circulation pump will run until the required temperature is achieved. In
this state the transport rollers are running at low speed continually. The Processor
will also go into WAKE UP cycles, but chemistry levels are monitored, the scrub
motor and the finisher pump will also run.
READY The Processor is now ready to accept a printing plate.
During the READY mode the chemistry levels and the temperature of the developer
are constantly monitored.
The plate Processor will enter a wake up cycle at regular intervals, during this
wakeup cycle the drive rollers will rotate and the finisher and developer recirculation
pumps will run. A small amount of developer replenishment will be added to the
developer tank at regular intervals during wake up cycle. The amount of developer
replenishment will be set on the touch panel and displayed under the REPLEN
RATE screen.
The Processor will enter the READY mode in one of the following cases:
• The Processor has been turned On with the ON/OFF key from the INACTIVE
mode, and the chemistry levels and developer temperature are correct.
• The Processor has been turned On by the pre programmed AGENDA function,
and the chemistry levels and developer temperature are correct.
• The Processor is ready and is not processing a plate.
• The Processor is not in an alarm condition.
PROCESSING When a plate enters the Processor, and providing the Processor is in the READY
mode, the Processor will start to process the plate.
The drive rollers start rotating and the developer circulation pump runs. When the
plate is approximately halfway through the developer section, the finisher pump
starts and then just before the plate enters the wash section, the spray bars are
switched On. The plate drier is then turned on, as the plate clears each section the
functions are switched off. Finally, the drive rollers will stop rotating.
The temperatures will be maintained and level conditions will be monitored. Should
an alarm condition occur as a result of an incorrect temperature or levels the
Processor will not enter the WAIT mode until after the Processor has finished
processing the plate.

Status Message Explanation


PROCESSING & When the plate has cleared the entry nip rollers of the Processor, the display
READY message will change from “PROCESSING” to “PROCESSING & READY”, this
is the signal that you may safely enter a second plate for processing.
REWASHING The Autolith TP Processor has the ability to rewash and apply finisher to a
plate that has been corrected. A plate has been inserted in the re-entry
section.
A PLATE MUST NOT ENTER THE RE-ENTRY SECTION WHILE A PLATE
IS BEING PROCESSED THROUGH THE NORMAL DEVELOPING CYCLE.
WAIT UNTIL THE DEVELOPED PLATE HAS COMPLETELY EXITED THE
PROCESSOR BEFORE ENTERING A PLATE INTO THE RE-ENTRY
SECTION.
During a plate REWASHING cycle the calculation for the total plate area will
not be incremented, therefore the developer replenishment rate will not be
affected.
MAINTENANCE This message is displayed to inform the operator that the Processor has been
DEV put into maintenance mode. In this mode the operator can

Status Message Explanation


JAMMED This message is displayed when the Processor has entered the jammed
mode. This occurs when the Processor has detected a plate jam – a plate has
entered the Processor but has not left the Processor within the allowed time
period for processing. See “plate jammed” error message later in this chapter.
EMERGENCY This message is displayed to inform the operator that the Machine has
STOP performed an Emergency Stop.
• The Processor will enter the EMERGENCY STOP mode if either of the
emergency stop keys are operated while processing a plate during a
normal developing or a rewashing cycle.
• To clear the plate from the Processor (that may have jammed) the
operator must:
1. Reset the Emergency Stop switch
2. When the display shows “Open the lids” the operator must open the lid
and inspect the condition of the plate inside the Processor . If the plate
has jammed or is likely to jam when the Processor starts the transport,
then the operator MUST remove the plate from the Processor.
3. If the plate appears undamaged and not likely to jam proceed to 4
below.
4. Close the lids, the display will show “Flush plates now Yes/No” the
operator should select “Yes” to eject an undamaged plate and select
“No” if the damaged plate has been removed from the Processor.
• When the flushing cycle has finished or “No” chosen above then the
Processor will either enter the WAIT or READY state dependent on
temperatures and levels.

2.3 General requirements for the installation room

Off-line or on-line The processor can be configured as an Off-line machine into


configuration which the plates are fed manually or as an On-line machine
where the plates are fed directly from the plate imaging device
into the processor.
The installation requirements are the same for both
configurations. Although for On-line applications the space
requirements may already be predetermined due to the siting of
the imaging device.
Connection to Mains and The connection to the mains and the mains switch are located at
Main isolator the left side rear leg assembly.
Water Supply The water connection point is located under the Processor at the
rear.
Drain The wash section drain connection point is located beneath the
processor towards the rear or can be configured to exit the
processor through the rear panel.
It is not allowed to drain used processing solutions into surface
waters and, in more environmentally conscious countries, it is
legally forbidden to drain them into the public sewers.
In any case, the local regulations applying to the treatment of
(chemical) waste must be strictly followed.

2.6 Requirements for power supply

The customer is responsible for ensuring that a qualified


electrician is in attendance to connect the processor to the
services.
Supplies Provide for the supplies required to connect the processor to the mains:
boxes, cables, tubing, fuses, etc.
These supplies are NOT delivered with the processor.
Cable resistance Take the following into account when deciding what type of cable you
are going to use:
1. chemical resistance: chemicals may leak onto cables
2. mechanical resistance: the operator may step onto cables
Cable protection
Provide for additional cable protection, e.g. cable covers, when cables
are exposed to heavier transport such as fork-lifts.

Connecting cables and fuses The cable connecting the Processor to the mains must be a flexible,
round cable with an outside diameter between 14 and 18 mm (1/2” and
7/10”)
American guideline for Electrical installation must conform to the National Electrical Code
selecting cables and fuses (NEC). Please also consult local regulations and guidelines, if
applicable.
The type of connecting cable as well as the type of fuses must be
determined in accordance with the NEC (section 310.15). The table

2.7 Requirements for water supply connection

Mains Water Supply The customer is responsible for ensuring that a qualified
plumber (and electrician, if necessary) is in attendance to
connect the processor to the services.
The plumbing installation should conform to the requirements of
the local Water Authority.
The connection to the machine is 15mm OD (½” OD – US )
copper tube.
A stop valve should be fitted in the supply in a convenient
position close to the machine such that the water can easily be
turned off when the machine is not in use.
Note: The use of flexible hose to connect the machine is not
recommended due to the inherent risk of puncturing and water
damage etc.
If possible the supply should be taken from a source that is
unaffected by pressure drops due to the use of other outlets.
The machine is designed to operate with a maximum pressure of
7.0 bar (90 lbsf/in). If the supply pressure exceeds this limit a
pressure reducing valve must be fitted.
A clean supply of water is required, In some areas it may be
necessary to install a water filter.
The mains water connection is situated at the rear of the
Processor behind the rear base cover. Care should be taken
with the siting of the pipework to avoid trip hazards and damage.
Water drain The standard waste connection to the machine is OSMA 42mm
OD (1½" OD – USA).
If connecting into an existing waste drainage system it is
advisable to fit a bottle trap.
Ensure that there is sufficient fall in the pipework to discourage
any
build up of solids and to prevent flow back to the machine.
The main drain connection is situated at the rear of the
Processor behind the rear base cover. Care should be taken
with the siting of the pipework to avoid trip hazards and damage.
It is recommended that (if possible) the processor be situated close to a
large sink in order to facilitate the cleaning operations.
