ATTENTION: Check if present voltage of network
corresponds with voltage on type plate on the
backside of the machine.
3.4 Pneumatic supplies.
On the backside of the machine is a “push in”
connector (11) located for connecting pressure air.
This connector is suitable for air-hose with 6mm
thickness.
ATTENTION: Always be sure that the machine is
switched off when you connect the air supply.
A good quality of pressure air will take care of a long
life of the machine. We recommend to filter and dry
the pressure air before the machine. This way it is not
possible that pollution and liquid comes into the
pneumatic parts of the machine.
On the backside of the machine is 1 reduction-valve
(1) mounted. The reduction-valve is equipped with a
manometer and a filter-boil. For good operation of the
machine you have to reduce the pressure air to 6 bar.
This is how to do it: pull the knob on the reduction-
valve with manometer (2) up and turn to the right to
increase the air pressure. Turn the knob to the left to
reduce the air pressure. If the manometer indicates 6
bar, you can push the knob back onto the reduction-
valve.
3.5 Connection of foot switch.
The foot switch that is delivered along with the
machine, has to be connected to the 2-poled
connector (14) on the backside of the machine. To do
this you have to push the plug into the connector and
screw the nut around the plug to the machine.
4 Setting the machine before use.
4.1 Installation of cliché and closed ink-cup.
To place the cliché on the base-plate (9), you have to
take the base-plate out of the machine. After this you
can mount the cliché on the base-plate by screwing
the cliché with 2 screws M2.5 to the base-plate.
Both base-plate and cliché should be clean. Before
you can place the base-plate back into the machine,
you first have to fill the ink-cup. You can do this by
laying the ink-cup upside down and fill the room in
the ink-cup with ink. Wait approx. 10 minutes before
you place the ink-cup against the cliché. On this way
the air bubbles in the ink have the chance to
disappear, which will lead to less print problems.
After this, you can now place the ink-cup against the
cliché. The ink-cup is equipped with magnets, so the
ink-cup will stick to the cliché. You can now place the
base-plate in the machine. On the ground-plate of the
machine are 2 pins mounted to position the base-
plate.
The ink-cup holder (5) can now be pushed down into
the center of the ink-cup. Make sure that the black
screws are not touching the ink-cup when the ink-cup
holder is completely down.
Then tighten the 2 lock screws (4) upwards, so that
the ink cup holder can’t move up and down again.
When after some printing, the ink cup starts leaking,
you can put extra pressure onto the ink-cup with the
screws which are mounted in the ink-cup holder.
These screws have feathered pins inside, which can
put more pressure onto the ink-cup. This way you
can secure good scraping of the ink-cup.
ATTENTION: The base-plate has to be installed
without any play to the ground-plate. This is
necessary to get the same position of the artwork
on the product in each print.
4.2 Mounting and setting of pad.
The pad (7) can be mounted to the machine with the
XY padholder (6).
The pad must be mounted above the heart of the
artwork in the cliché plate. Off course the pad has to
be in the back position. The best way to set the pad
is with the machine switched off. How to place the
pad in its back position is explained in chapter 5.3.2
section C. It is also possible to set the depth of the
pad. This is also explained in this chapter. The pad is
well set if the pad is closing just around the artwork in
the cliché
TIP: to see if the pad is in the right position, you
can blow a little condensation on the cliché by
blowing over it with your mouth wide open. If the
pad now touches the cliché, you can exactly see
where the pad is touching the cliché.
