MORGANA AUTO CREASER 50

i ...........Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to explain the procedure for dis-
mantling and re-assembly of the major assemblies on the Morgana
Auto Creasing machine.

All the engineering adjustments are shown at the end of each

relevant section.

Operator's adjustments and routine maintenance are explained in

the appropriate operators guide which should always be used in
conjunction with this manual.

It is always a good idea to have a copy of the machines illustrated

parts manual available when servicing, as its illustrations provide
an invaluable reference to the construction of the individual
assemblies used to build the machine.

ii ..........Fasteners
All threaded fasteners are isometric & all nuts are isometric
hexagon. All screws are hardened high tensile steel.

Cap head, Button head, Socket countersunk, Shoulder bolts and

Grubscrews have internal hexagon drives which require isometric
hexagon wrenches (allen keys). Ball drivers may be used, but care
should be taken—particularly when releasing screws for
dismantling—to avoid breaking the driver as they cannot cope with
full tightening torques.

NOTE ..... Do not substitute fasteners with low grade alternatives

which may fail or become irremovable.

Page 2 CREASING
AutoCreaser 50 INTRODUCTION

Pan head and Cross-head countersunk screws all have metric

Taptite threads and Pozi -drive recesses. Use No.2 point Pozidriv
or Supadriv drivers for all screws M4 & above, and No.1 point
drivers for M3 & below.

WARNING

SECTION 11 Trouble Shooting

Calibration of creasing position

The length between the leading edge of the sheet and the 1st crease position can be
calibrated in the event of the machine creasing out of position.
Also the last crease closest to the back of the sheet can be adjusted relative to the front
edge of the sheet to compensate for the inaccuracy of manufacture of the input roller
diameters.
The first crease should be 50 mm from the lead edge (less than 1 revolution of the in-
feed roller) & the last crease should be 370 mm from the lead edge.

Adjust the 1st crease position as follows:-

Turn On machine.
Insert the Engineers Plug into the Socket located at the rear of the machine.
Run the machine and measure the first crease position at 50 mm.
Select Tools on the Display and scroll down the screen until
‘LEAD EDGE TRIM’ and a numeric value is between the Arrows.
Operate the Joystick to change the value (Left to Increase), a higher value
Will move the crease further from the lead edge. (0 is a good start value)
Lift the joystick up until the start screen appears.
Run machine and check crease position, repeat above procedure until accurate
crease position is achieved.

Adjust the Last crease position as follows:-

Turn On machine.
Insert the Engineers Plug into the Socket located at the rear of the machine.
Run the machine and measure the last crease position at 370 mm.
Select Tools on the Display and scroll down the screen until
‘STRETCH’ and a numeric value is between the Arrows.
Operate the Joystick to change the value (Left to Increase), a higher value
will move the crease further from the lead edge. (0 is a good start value)
Lift the joystick up until the start screen appears.
Run machine and check crease position, repeat above procedure until accurate
crease position is achieved.
