SAFETY FIRST BASIC 10. Make sure that all safety devices are in place before restarting the machine. Your new BAUMFOLDER paper folding machines have been designed in accordance with the latest safety specifications. The warning and caution labels on the machine must remain in place. Make sure all guarding provided is in place before starting up and running the machine.
How The WetScore Works The WetScore is designed to give you absolutely straight, tight and consistent folds out of your existing folder. New or well used, your folder will show an improvement in perfomance with the addition of the WetScore; increased running speeds, tighter more accurate folds, less waste and a reduction of downtime. The WetScore applies a fine line of an alcohol/water mixture to the sheet, breaking the grain of the stock, prior to the sheet entering the fold rollers.
SET UP 1.0 THE RIGHT ALCOHOL/WATER MIXTURE 3.0 BLEEDING AIR FROM THE TUBING The WetScore uses a mixture of Isopropyl ALcohol (Commonly known as Rubbing Alcohol) and water. The alcohol serves two purposes. First, it acts as a drying agent to cause rapid evaporation of the solution from the signatures. Secondly, it insures that the fluid maintains a uniform line upon the stock. For these reasons it is important that the solution be mixed in the proper proportions.
5. THE PROPER NEEDLE FOR THE JOB B. BLEEDING THE TUBING FROM THE CONTROL VALVES TO THE NEEDLES 1. Remove needles from the nozzles. 2. To avoid spilling the fluid upon the folder, it is recommended that you remove the nozzles from their holders. 3. Hold the nozzles away from the folder and point them into a pail or absorbent rag to catch the fluid when it leaves the nozzle. 4. Open the appropriate control valves. 5. Hold your hand under the sensor to open the on/off solenoid. 6.
7.0 ADJUSTMENT OF FLOW RATE WHILE RUNNING A JOB WITH WetScore A. With the folder off, place your hand under the sensor and open the appropriate control valve. B. Watch for air bubbles in the tubing to move indicating flow from the needles. C. Adjust control valves until the flow is greater than 2 drops per second from the needles. D. If the proper flow cannot be obtained see TROUBLE SHOOTING section of the manual. 8.0 POSITIONING OF PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR A.
When running sheets through the folder by hand,if it becomes necessary to back the sheet out, always lift the rod to ensure that the sheets do not jam into the needles. They may cause the needles to bend and you will lose your register! If a sheet is under a needle or the sensor when the folder stops, remove it before restarting the folder. It may be wet and may cause a jam-up in the rollers. 5.0 WHEN THE FOLDER STOPS RUNNING A.
The flow of fluid may also be adjusted by the control valves to apply a minimum of solution to the stock. If you do not succeed in reducing the offset by any of the above means, we recommend that you do not use the WetScore, proceed with conventional mechanical scoring of the sheet. 4.0 WetScore WITH COATED STOCK The ability of the alcohol/water solution to absorb into the sheet decreases with an increase in density of the sheet coating.
MAINTENANCE WEEKLY 1. Bleed all needle tubing. 2. Using an air compressor, blow out any solids that may have become trapped in the needles, i.e.-offset powder, paper particles etc. (remove needles from nozzles first). MONTHLY 1. Tighten all support bolts on the brackets connecting the WetScore to the folder rails, some loosening may occur due to folder vibration. Bolts should be snug with a wrench, do not overtighten. 2. Check for sharply bent or highly worn needles replace if necessary. YEARLY 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Poor or no flow from needles PROBABLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Sensor LED is lit when holding your hand under it: 1. No water in the bottle Fill bottle with solution 2. Excessive air in the tubing Bleed air from tubing 3. Tip of the needle is excessively worn Replace 4. Control valve is closed Open 5. Needle is not in contact with the sheet Adjust 6.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO Build up of fluid upon register table 1. Improper setting of nozzle within nozzle holder Readjust nozzle between register tape drive roller and register table 1. Positioning of WetScore needles is out of register Readjust to proper position 2. Poor or no flow from needles See above 3. Folder plate stop set off of proper position Readjust to proper position 4.
