Summary of content (13 pages)

PAGE 1
The new BAUM 1620 folders include a new design of fold roll gap adjusting gapsets that only require the operator to turn the gapset knob to the correct number for the thickness and proper number of sheets required to effectively drive the signatures through the fold rolls.
PAGE 2
3. Due to tolerance stackup of components used in the gapset assemblies, there will be a variation as to where the max setting of each gapset knob will be. Some gapset knobs may not rotate a full 360 degrees and stop at a setting of 13.
PAGE 3
Factory Calibration of 1620 Gapsets & Field/Service Fold Roll Replacement: 1.
PAGE 4
4. Setting the fold roll gap/pressure. Note: The proper factory calibration of the gapsets is to where by individually pulling on each strip of paper and the fold rolls just starting to rotate.
PAGE 5
During calibration of the fold roll pressure settings, it is critical to ensure that the amount of drag on both the operator and non-‐operator sides is the same! d) Repeat steps 3 & 4 by adjust the proper gapset knobs for: #2 fold roll to main fold roll(strips of paper in between the #2 and main fold rolls & adjusting
PAGE 6
. On all gapset knobs, using a 2mm allen wrench, tighten the set screws that hold the plastic binder plug so that the binder plug applies pressure to the gapset threaded rod. Tighten this set screw so that the plastic binder plug is actually “compressed” on the threads of the gapset rod threads.
PAGE 7
8. While holding the gapset knob so it does not turn, tighten the elastic stop nut located in the cavity of the gapset knobs slowly to ensure that it just contacts the gapset knob. This is done using a 1/2” or 13mm nut driver. Do this for all gapset knobs.
PAGE 8
Recalibrating Fold Roll Pressures for Fold Roll Wear: Safety: 1. It is recommended to shut incoming power off to the folder by using the main power disconnect located on the parallel unit or disconnecting power to the machine by unplugging it from any/all power source(s). 2.
PAGE 9
As you place each strip of paper into the proper fold rolls that you are setting the gapsets for, it is helpful to turn the gapset knob counter-‐clockwise until the strip of paper is being held lightly by the fold rolls.
PAGE 10
b) After feeling the pressure on the strip of paper on the operator side, gently pull on the strip of paper on the non-‐operator side and feel the amount of pressure the fold rolls are applying.
PAGE 11
It is possible that you may have to turn the gapset knob to have the room to tighten this set screw on some of the gapset knobs. If you must turn the gapset knob to tighten this set screw, after you tighten this set screw as described, ensure that you turn the gapset knob back to a setting of 1. 6.
PAGE 12
7. While holding the gapset knob so it does not turn, tighten the elastic stop nut located in the cavity of the gapset knobs slowly to ensure that it just contacts the gapset knob. This is done using a 1/2” or 13mm nut driver. Do this for all gapset knobs.
PAGE 13
Setting of Gapset Knobs for the operation of the folder: Proper setting of each gapset is determined by the least amount of sheet thicknesses passing thru each nip between the different fold rolls.
