Pneumatic Gatefold Installation Instructions For Baum 2018, 2020 Pile & Continuous Feed Folder models This manual is a supplement to the operating manual. It is to be used for initial installation by a Baum authorized field technician. For actual setup and operation of the gatefold, see the operator’s manual. ã Baumfolder Corporation.
Inspect shipment carefully for any damage immediately. If freight damage occurs, contact the freight carrier immediately. Do not discard crating materials until installation is complete. Make sure that all parts are shipped with the unit.
1. Install mounting post to feeder frame on the non-operator side of the folder. Drill (2) ¼ inch or 6.5mm diameter clearance holes in the frame as shown. Use the hardware kit supplied to mount the post to the frame. 2. Place the control unit on top of the mounting post. Install the power cord. Connect the Optical sheet sensor to Input 1. Connect the electrical cord from the gatefold plate to Output 1. Connect the encoder cable to the Encoder connection. View shown is from the backside. 3.
. Remove wire #13L1 from the side of Auxiliary contact block K2. Move this wire up to the open side of terminal 12L1 on the terminal strip TB-1. 5. Connect the blue air line hose to the air regulator at one end and to the gatefold plate at the other end. The connections are brass quick connect couplings. It is best to do this without air pressure in the line. 6. Connect the airline from the air regulator to the incoming air supply. Note that (90) PSI or (5) bar is required for the correct operation.
7. Install the gatefold foldplate in the #4 foldplate position. Make sure that there is no interference. Turn the handwheel on the folder to check. If there is interference use Baum gage kit #261-998-BG01 from the Baum Parts Department to set clearances by adjusting the plate stops correctly. 8. Connect the power cord for the gatefold control box to electrical connection X10 on the left-hand side of the main folder control box.
To set the control panel readout for proper machine size and language, perform the following: 1. Press the main power button in the lower left-hand corner of the gatefold control to turn power on. 2. Select channel #1 using the channel selection button. · The message “ 1 Falzlange (German) language. L1” will appear if the readout is in Deutsche · If the control is in English the readout will be “1 Foldlength L1” . If you need to change the language to English, follow these steps. 2.
Setting up a Job to test. It is important to set up a gatefold job (1) step at a time. Work from the feeder forward. Make your setup procedure the same steps as the paper would travel through the folder. 1. Always hand fold a sample as close as possible to the final result that is required. Mark the sample and place it where you can refer back to it. Note that you must leave approximately 3mm or 1/8 inch gap between the (2) panels that fold in toward each other.
4. Reinstall foldplate #2 and have it set to deflect the paper. Leave #4 position open without a foldplate. Set foldplate #3 open to folding to make the second foldlength (L2). On an 11x17 sheet this length will be approximately 8-1/2 inches. Send test sheets and match against sample until fold is satisfactory. 5. Install the gatefold plate in the #4 position. Do not connect the power supply to the gatefold.
Send test samples and look for inside “dog ears” or damaged edges to the inside edges. These are a signal that the timing needs to be adjusted. Do not adjust the fold lengths. This is not the problem. If you follow the step by step procedures, setting the timing is the only change required to complete the accuracy. Box Folds: You will now see a “double crease” or a box fold on one of the gates. To relieve this, add the same amount of sheet thicknesses to each side Baumset for the #5 fold roller.
