PREFACE

1 PREFACE
These setting, assembling and disassembling instructions are mainly intended for mechanics charged with
repairs and setting of Adast 507 DI type presses.

The Instructions have been arranged in such a manner that the figures showing the setting of functional assemblies
are included in the corresponding text part.

Example of marking mechanical components: 4.1-a Figure No. – 4.1


Position in the Figure – a

Example of marking electrical components: 4.3-BQ17 Figure No. – 4.3


Position in the Figure – BQ17

It is out of the reach of these Instructions to include all information for the reader to become acquainted with all
the details of the press and its functions just with simply reading them. The Instructions cannot substitute the
training course organized by the manufacturer’s service department for mechanics entrusted with setting,
assembling and disassembling the presses. Despite of that we believe that the Instructions will serve you as
an effective assistant for the practical servicing of your press. With pleasure, we shall answer any of your
contingent questions and give you any information you might need.

2.1 Setting the front bars

The front bars of the feeder fig. 2.1-a must be longitudinally leveled within 1 mm tolerance. Vertically the leveling
shall be measured with the help of a ruler. When setting them horizontally, the outer bars must be set at the
level of the inner ones or they may be higher by 0,5 mm as maximum. The fore edges of the front bars fig. 2.1-
a must also be at the same level as the functional surfaces of the tilting stops fig. 2.1-b. The setting shall be
made with the bar fig. 2.1-c after releasing the nuts fig. 2.1-d.

fig. 2.1

2.2 Setting the guide bars of the feeding table

The guide bars of the feeding table fig. 2.2-b must be parallel to the front bars fig. 2.2-a. In the bottom part, +0,5
mm deviation is allowed. Parallelism shall be checked with measuring the gap between the guide bar fig. 2.2-
b and the front bars fig. 2.2-a and it can be set after releasing the screw fig. 2.2-c.
The functional surfaces of the supporting rings fig. 2.2-d, on which the feeding table seats, may be deviated
from each other by maximum 0,6 mm. The upper surface of the feeding table has to be parallel to the roller of
the conveyer fig. 2.1-e. Admissible deviation of the table width is 0,5 mm.
The feeding table shall be placed parallel to the conveyer when pinning together the chain wheel fig. 2.2-e and
the shaft fig. 2.2-f, the eccentricity of the journals fig. 2.2-g having to be set identical at both sides of the feeder.

The further leveling of the table in the course of operation shall be made with journals fig. 2.2-g. Body of the
table guides fig. 2.2-h is furnished with a ball friction brake. The brake must be set with the screw fig. 2.2-i to
such a position that the table - after being released from the chains fig. 2.2-j - does not fall down too violently.
With the help of the tube fig. 2.2-m and after releasing the nuts fig. 2.2-l, set the tilting stops fig. 2.2-k to a
position that puts them at the level of the feeder fig. 2.2-a front bars with the roller fig. 2.2-n placed on the
smallest diameter of the cam. fig. 2.2-o. At that setting, the slide sheet fig. 2.2-p may not overpass the tilting
stops fig. 2.2-k and the tilting stop shaft fig. 2.2-r must be free to swing.
The main lifting chains fig. 2.2-j have to be tensioned to such a degree that they have approximately 10 mm
slag in the middle. Tensioning of the chains shall be carried out with the help of the chute fig. 2.2-s after
releasing the screws fig. 2.2-t. Drive chains fig. 2.2-u shall be tensioned to such a degree that their slag in the
middle of the longest branch is 5 mm. The tensioning shall be made with the tensioners fig. 2.2-v.

2.3 Setting the brake

For setting the pressure of the friction brake fig. 2.3-b on the pulley fig. 2.3-a, place the sleeve fig. 2.3-c to such
a position that a 0,5 mm clearance appears between the sleeve fig. 2.3-c and the side plate fig. 2.3-k. The
friction brake fig. 2.3-b must slide easily on the bushing fig. 2.3-e. The belts fig. 2.3-f, fig. 2.3-g shall be
tensioned simultaneously. For doing that, release the screw fig. 2.3-h and with tensioning screw push the
feeder motor to be accessible from the inside of the 1st printing unit and fixed in a swinging way. As soon as the
belts have been tensioned, lock the screws.

The stops of the grippers fig. 4.1-a have to be placed at the same level and they must be set to a measure
90,275-0,02 from the axis of the cylinder. The gripper springs fig. 4.1-b shall be set - with the help of the screw
fig. 4.1-c - to a measure 15,5+0,5 mm (distance between the ends of the supports and the sleeve). This
dimension holds when the grippers are open. The grippers must be set accurately so that a simultaneous
contact of all grippers on the stops fig. 4.1-a is got. The lever fig. 4.1-d shall be placed at such a position on the
gripper shaft fig. 4.1-e that a 0,2 mm clearance is got between the screw heads fig. 4.1-c and the gripper
holders fig. 4.1-h, when the roller fig. 4.1-f rests on the big diameter of the cam fig. 4.1-g. The set position shall
be locked with adjusting the lever fig. 4.1-d with the help of the screw fig. 4.1-i. The guide tie rod fig. 4.1-j shall
be set to the measure 54 mm. The setting of the cam fig. 4.1-g and closing of the pressure cylinder grippers

ASSEMBLY 07 - PRESSURE CYLINDERS

4.3 Function of monitoring the sheet presence on the printing roller


When the sheet is present in the pressure roller grippers, the roller fig. 4.2-e does not follow the path of the cam
fig. 4.2-f.

In case the sensing units fig. 4.2-b are out, the roller fig. 4.2-e must reliably follow the path of the cam fig. 4.2-
f. The cam fig. 4.2-f shall be placed to such a position that it meets the following conditions:
a) Sensitive element may not strike again the offset rubber.
b) At any speed of the press, when no paper is in the pressure cylinder grippers, the diaphragm fig. 4.3-a
must reliably cover the whole functional diameter of the sensor fig. 4.3-BQ17.

If these two conditions are not met, the cam must be turned - in the groove- to the correct position. The position
of the sensor fig. 4.3-BQ17 shall be set on the side plate to such a position that the diaphragm fig. 4.3-a is at
a 0,5 mm distance from the functional surface of the sensor see fig. 4.3. If there is a paper of 40 g/m2 basis
weight in the pressure roller grippers, the diaphragm fig. 4.3-a must pass under the functional diameter of the
sensor fig. 4.3-BQ17.

After attaching the swing gripper (assembly 20) to the press, set the flange fig. 5.1-a together with the drive
cam fig. 5.1-b on the pressure roller shaft (assembly 07). Place the screws fig. 5.1-c to the axis of the drive
cam grooves fig. 5.1-b. On putting the drive lever onto the swing gripper shaft (with performing the final fitting of
the spline) and locking it with the screw, set (and lock with the screw fig. 5.1-e) the bearing fitted with collar fig.
5.1-f in the groove of the lever fig. 5.1-d to such a position that the swing gripper in the fore zero position
provides a 5 mm sheet catch. The pre-drilled holes for pins in the disc fig. 5.1-n and the shim fig. 5.1-g have to
be at the same axis with that of the shaft of swing grippers. Set the drive cam fig. 5.1-b to such a position that
the rear edge of the swing gripper bar is at the level of the stop edge fig. 4.1-a of the pressure roller. After putting
the lever fig. 5.1-h together with the collar fig. 5.1-f, onto the shaft of the swing gripper, insert the shim fig. 5.1-
i and the spring of the drive fig. 5.1-j into the recesses of the two levers. After putting the rest cam fig. 5.1-k on
the flange (axis of grooves on the axis of screws fig. 5.1-c), check the two bearings with collars fig. 5.1-f for
proper mutual positions. Along the turning of the pressure roller through 360 degrees, the stroke difference
must be ± 0,1 mm as maximum.
The thrust of the spring fig. 5.1-j shall be set with the screw fig. 5.1-l to such a force that the spring generates
a 230 kpcm thrust moment (to be checked at a status when the bearing with collar fig. 5.1-f is lifted and turns
tightly). After checking the paper catch for proper size setting (see the operating cycle of the press) and
satisfactory tests of register, the manufacturer makes the pinning of cams fig. 5.1-b, fig. 5.1-k and the drive
lever fig. 5.1-d with the disk fig. 5.1-n.

By means of dial indicator fig. 19.13-n check the fountain roller fig. 19.13-a run out - the maximum run out value
is 0.005 mm. The dial indicator fig. 19.13-n is fastened to the fountain beam fig. 19.13-g. The fountain roller fig.
19.13-a and fountain beam adjustment fig. 19.13-g is to be set with the nuts fig. 19.13-b. The shaft fig. 19.13-
l must be in contact with the bar fig. 19.13-k and the elastic deflection of 0.04-0.045 mm should be the same
on the both fountain roller fig. 19.13-a ends. The dial indicator fig. 19.13-n is fastened to the press side wall.
The adjusting clevis fig. 19.13-h alignment to the value x + 0,9 - 0,1 is recommended to be carried out before
building the fountain fig. 19.13-g in the press. When the adjusting clevis fig. 19.13-h is aligned to the required
value, the position of the cube fig. 19.13-i is fixed by the pin fig. 19.13-j, which makes up the centre around
which the clevis fig. 19.13-h can be moved and if needed, by its turning level up the fountain knife zones fig.
19.13-f. On adjusting the clevis fig. 19.13-h, it is necessary to screw up the adjusting screws fig. 19.13-c up to
4 mm. On installing the fountain fig. 19.13-g in the press, insert the offset key to the depression fig. 19.13-e in
the closing lever fig. 19.13-d and in the arrow direction fig. 19.13-B set the fountain fig. 19.13-g to the stop
cubes fig. 19.13-r. With the screws fig. 19.13-o fasten the fountain knife fig. 19.13-f to the fountain fig. 19.13-g
to keep the distance from the fountain roller fig. 19.13-a by 0.1 mm. The fountain knife position fig. 19.13-f in
relation to the fountain fig. 19.13-g is fixed by four eccentric adjusting pins.
Insert the gibes fig. 19.13-m in the fountain fig. 19.13-g while loosening the springs, so that the groove fig.
19.13-p on the gibes fig. 19.13-m is situated outside the ink space.
For e.g. ink flow stop on fountain roller fig. 19.13-a, it is possible to use the stop block fig. 19.13-s with
appropriate adjusting marks.
This zero value setting on the fountain roller fig. 19.13-a for individual zones is to be adjusted under the
condition, that the set zero value in one zone is not influenced by the setting of next zones. This procedure
must be observed from several point o views, such as material strengths, fountain roller fig. 19.13-a and
fountain deflections. On maximum fountain blade pressure against the fountain roller fig. 19.13-a, the ink film
from particular zones can be completely wiped away, and the deflection of the fountain blade within a zone to
be adjusted is bigger, and the ink film of already adjusted zones is affected. This kind of adjustment is not
suitable, the appropriate zone must be released not to affect the other zones.

19.12 Printing faults


In case not all the principles of the correct setting of the press are observed, on the printing area, in principle
five types of streakiness may appear.
1. Streaks due to gears
2. Streaks due to printing rollers
3. Streaks due to the ink unit rollers
4. Streak due to the chain conveyer

19.12.1 Ways of identifying the streaks, detecting their origins and remedying the streaks
arisen

1. Streaks due to gears


1.1 Spacing of streaks corresponds to that of the gears of the printing roller drives
The streaking may have appear due to:
a) Insufficient printing pressure between the forme and the offset rollers. For its remedy, check the rollers for
printing pressure by measuring the gap between them, the offset blanket and printing forme for thickness.
The existence of these streaks essentially restrains the use of the compressible blanket.
b) Inaccurate geometry of the gears (this defect may appear due to a sum of tolerance effects of the mounted
assemblies). These inaccuracies can be remedied by running in the gears with a paste made of powder
pumice and universal oil for 5 to 8 hours. After the running-in period, the gears must be cleaned perfectly.
c) Contamination of the gears with dry ink for instance. The teeth must be cleaned perfectly.

1.2 Spacing of the streaks corresponds to that of the gears of the ink unit
The fault may have arisen due:
a) Insufficient printing pressures. See item 1.1 a).
b) Excessive resistance to rotation of the ink unit. Check all the rotation mountings (bearings of all ink unit).
c) Too small or too big backlash of some of the pairs of toothed gears of the ink unit and the forme cylinder
drive.
d) Inaccurate manufacture of the teeth or insufficient machining quality. Smaller inaccuracies can be remedied
by running in the wheels with the grinding paste for about 2 hours.
e) Contamination of the gears, with dry ink for instance. Clean the teeth.

2. Streaks due to the printing rollers - E


They become evident as one or two streaks located close to each other - at about 196 mm from the sheet
border (marked as „E“). A streak originated by a vibration (deflection) of the offset roller due to a shock generated
by the run-on of the printing roller channel edges.
This shock takes off the play in the mountings of the offset cylinder and the printing roller or it deflects them.
Due to that, a slip or alteration of the pressure may take place at the point of contact of the printing forme and
the offset blanket.

19 - 15
ASSEMBLY 26 - INK UNIT

The vibration (deflection) value of the offset cylinder and therefore the intensity of the streak depend
on:
1. Setting of the pressure mechanism
2. Hardness of the offset blanket (resistance against sinking)
3. Value of the printing pressures between printing rollers
4. Play in the mountings of the offset roller
5. Rigidity (stability) of the offset roller mounting
6. Speed of rotation of the printing rollers

Therefore, the shock streak can be remedied with taking the following measures:
1. Check the pressures for setting in accordance with the setting instructions.
a) Check or set the gap between the offset cylinder and the pressure rollers to the pattern 2,05 G-Emma
4210.
b) Check the offset cylinder bearing radial play for setting.
2. Make use of the compressible blanket and underlay it to the thickness in accordance with the Press
operating instructions (Chap. Offset cylinder).
3. Set the printing pressure in accordance with the basis weight of the paper to be printed on as stated in the
Operating instructions - chap. 22.2. The principle to be held is that the printing pressure between the offset
cylinder and the pressure roller should not be higher than that required for a perfect transfer of printing onto
the paper.
4. The play in the mountings of the offset cylinder depends on the accuracy of the bearings and their adjustment.
Proceed to their contingent replacement only when other interventions are not able to remedy the problem.
5. Insufficient rigidity of the offset cylinder shaft mountings may have arisen due to the play in the bearings.
In such a case, the bearings have to be replaced.
6. When performing demanding printing, the speed of printing must be adequately reduced.

3. Streaks due to ink unit rollers - A, B, C, D


The marked streaks on the printing area appear due to the rolling of inking rollers. The widths of the streaks
marked as A, B, C, D depend on the length of the printing area.

The streaks may have appeared due to:


1. Incorrect setting of the printing pressure on the basis of the basis weight of the paper to be printed on.
2. Incorrect setting of the ink unit.
3. Ink of pour quality or prepared incorrectly.
4. Deformed surface of the rubber rollers.
5. Faulty bearings of ink unit rollers.
On the printing area, they appear as 4 approximately 1 mm wide streaks (A, B, C, D) the most marked of which
is the streak at 191 mm from the printing margin, which is caused with the roller ø61.

Ways of remedying the streaks:


1. Set the printing pressure according to the basis weight of the sheets to be printed on in accordance with
the instructions - chap. 22.2 (with the help of the knob fig. 28.2-g).

ASSEMBLY 26 - INK UNIT

2. In case the streaking is not suppressed with adjusting the printing pressure, proceed to the setting of the
ink unit. In order to identify the streaks on the printing area, it is recommended to perform the printing with
the individual inking unit rollers apart. On the basis of the distance from the beginning of printing, it is then
possible to identify - in accordance with the diagram - which one of the rollers originates the streak. On the
basis of the streak intensity, the setting of inking roller pressure to the spreading rollers and to the printing
forme should be performed.

Checks to be carried out:


a) Stripes (lines) made with inking rollers on the printing forme for the width setting.
b) Stripes (lines) made with inking rollers on the spreading rollers for the width setting. The width of strikes
should be the same or a bit wider than the stripes on the printing forme.
c) Retracting levers for clearance (see fig. 19.3).
1. Prepare the ink in accordance with the ink manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Exchange the worn out, deformed or damaged rollers.
3. Exchange the faulty bearing. The bearings have to slide tightly in the holders.

4. Streak due to chain conveyer - F


The streak appears due to a wrong taking-over of sheets by the delivery unit gripper systems from the pressure
cylinder. It can be eliminated by tensioning the delivery unit chains, or by exchanging them and by adjusting
the chain guide bars. The streak mainly arises when fast drying inks are used. It can be suppressed with a
suitable conditioning (dilution) of inks.

Brake power adjustment

The cleaning cloth may neither be too loosened or offer too much resistance against pulling out.
The brake stretching power is to be checked by pulling the cleaning cloth from the input shaft. If it is stretched,
then the stretching power is too high. If it could be pulled out freely or if it is rippled, then the stretching power
is too low.
The reel-off shaft is braked by the washer fig. 24.7-a. The force implied on adjusting tooth segment - see the fig.
24.7-c. The stretching power can be increased or reduced by turning the adjusting tooth segment after loosening
its safety screws fig. 24.7-b. Turn the adjusting tooth segment very slowly by ca. 30 degrees. The stretching
power is to be checked after each step. When the brake adjustment is completed, tighten the safety screws.

edge adjustment is to be carried out by means of the stops - see the Fig. 34.26-g and Fig. 34.26-h - of the
changeover system on the transfer drum. The drums must be set for straight printing. When the sheet is taken
over from the transfer drum, measure the gripper edge value. If the gripper edge value is outside the range of 4,5
through 5 mm, loosen the stop - see the Fig. 34.26-g - and the stop screw - see the Fig. 34.26-h - and turn the
flange - see the Fig. 34.26-a - in required direction. Finally, it is necessary to check the angle sheet take-over
position from the assembly 52 according to the time chart and eventually perform another fine adjustment.

Rotate the cylinders and check, if:


- Perfector grippers follow the tangent direction to the transfer drum surface.
- The spring pressure is the same from the moment, when the grippers hit the gripper stops.
- On sheet transferring from the rear grippers of the transfer drum, no sheet deformation (sheet corrugation)
is visible.
When the sheet transferring process or the tangent sheet geometry is out of order, turn the both cams in the
same direction about the same angle distance. If the spring pressure is changing or the grippers flies open,
turn the cams against each other.

To get accurate register in the press, the backlash in the driving gears (assemblies 07, 51, 52, 53, 71, 72, 73)
shall be taken off with the help of the taking-off segments. In the chain of the gears, the segments are always
attached to the pressure roller (assembly 07) toothed wheels and the transfer drum (assemblies 52 and 72
respectively). The segments on the inner side of the gears (towards the press side plate) always take off the
backlash in the wheel of the taking-off drum (assemblies 51 and 71 respectively). The segments on the outer
side of the toothed wheels (outwards the press) do it in the wheel of the turning-over and the handing-over
drums (assemblies 53 and 73 respectively).

Procedure of taking off the backlash with the measuring jig.


The procedure is detailed in the item dealing with the way of taking-off the backlash between the transfer and
the turning-over toothed wheels and it holds in general for taking off the backlash with all the segments of the
transfer toothed wheel.

Measuring the gear backlash


Turn the press to the position shown in fig. 34.33 (segment off the mesh) and lock the driving wheel 34.33-a in
position with respect to the side plate with the jig G-Oca 2799.
Attach the magnetic holder with the dial indicator fig. 34.33-b to the front face of the wheel fig. 34.33-c to such
a position that the indicator tip seats on the tooth of the segment fig. 34.33-d approximately at the point of the
pitch circle. With turning the wheel fig. 34.33-c with respect to the wheel fig. 34.33-a find out the actual
backlash in the dial indicator.

Taking off the backlash


Attach the measuring jig to the press side plate to such a position that the backlash between the measuring
wheel fig. 34.34-a and the driving wheel fig. 34.35-a is by 0,03 mm bigger than the backlash taken up as per
the item „Measuring the gear backlash“. Reset the measuring jig. Place the measuring wheels fig. 34.34-a, fig.
34.34-b in front of the driving wheel fig. 34.35-a to such a position that the teeth are in mesh, and set the dial
indicator to zero. Shift the measuring wheels on the journal fig. 34.34-f so that the measuring wheel fig. 34.34-
a is in mesh with the wheel fig. 34.35-a and the measuring wheel fig. 34.34-b is in mesh with the central tooth
of the segment fig. 34.35-b. Loosen the screws fig. 34.35-c and shift the segment fig. 34.35-b in the direction
defined in the preceding item until the value of the backlash on the dial indicator fig. 34.35-e shows the
backlash taken up. Lock the set position with tightening the screws fig. 34.35-c. After tightening the screws,
check the segment fig. 34.35-b for setting.

fig. 34.34

Getting the register

Faults in taking-off the backlash between the transfer drums becomes evident as a systematic fault - regular
alternation of the maximum and minimum register deviation. In case this fault appears even after the segment
has been set in accordance with the items „Measuring the gear backlash“ and „Taking off the backlash“, it is
recommended to increase the taking-off interference in one segment or, if necessary, to release the backlash
taking-off. It is recommended to do the individual tests by 0,01 mm steps. In case a big interference is set in
one segment when taking off the backlash, danger of excessive wear-out of a portion of teeth of the driving
wheel in mesh arises.
The process of taking off the backlash mainly with the segments attached to the driving wheel assembies 52
and 72 is very sensitive. It is executed with the help of a special measuring jig.

in the course of operation with a non-magnetic gage fig. 34.46-a 0,3 mm thick that should be inserted
to the cut-out of the adjusting nut.
2. Procedure of setting - Insert the gage into one of the three measuring grooves in the adjusting nut as
shown in fig. 34.46-b. Then switch the brake on. The magnet body attracts the armature plate and the
adjusting nut compresses a set of plates. When the setting is correct, the gage can be moved along
the air gap with sensible drag. In case the gage is moved easily or it cannot be moved at all, the brake
setting in incorrect and must be set better. Switch off the current, loosen the screw of the adjusting nut
fig. 34.47-a and then turn the nut to the right or to the left depending on the operation we want to do -
to increase or reduce the air gap. After turning the nut, tighten the screw and measure the corrected
gap again. Repeat this setting until you get a 0,3 mm gap or a bit smaller.
In the brake it is also necessary to protect the plate surfaces against greasing and contamination with
metallic powder.

34.3 Setting the pressure mechanism


After installing the offset cylinders into the press, set the marking lines fig. 34.49-a,b and fig. 34.50-a,b on the
eccentric bushings and the mark lines fig. 34.49-c,d and fig. 34.50-c,d on the outer cover of the flange and on
the flange in front of the mark line on the side plates fig. 34.49-e, fig. 34.50-e to such position that all of these
lines coincide in the vertical position. In this position carry out the setting of the pneumatic cylinder:
1. By screwing the tie rods fig. 34.48-c,d into the piston rods of the pneumatic cylinder fig. 34.48-a,b set the
spacing between the journal in the lever fig. 34.48-h and the journal on the shim fig. 34.48-i so that all of the
marking lines aligned before keep the alignment. Lock the tie rods in position with the help of the nuts fig.
34.48-e.
2. With the pneumatic cylinder and all the mark lines fig. 34.49-a,b,c,d and fig. 34.50-a,b,c,d aligned, set the
lever fig. 34.50-m on the driving side of the press by tightening the clamping joint with the screw fig.
34.50-o.
This setting of pressure mechanism corresponds to the pressure position of the offset cylinder - it means the
press is under pressure.

34.4 Setting the printing pressures


To set the printing edge, turn the toothed wheel of the offset cylinder. The size of the printing edge is 9 mm at
maximum and it must be parallel to the front edge of the sheet. After the setting, lock the toothed wheel in
position with tightening the six screws. After the press printout, lock the toothed wheel in position with a pin.
After the setting of the pressure mechanism pneumatic cylinder, draw the offset cylinder to the pressure
position. The slip rings of the offset and forme cylinders roll on each other. If the rings do not touch each other,
put them in contact with turning the flanges fig. 34.49-p and fig. 34.50-p by means of the pinion fig. 34.49-f and
fig. 34.50-f. When turning the toothed segment on the flange downwards, the offset cylinder approaches the
forme one. Then tighten the screws fig. 34.49-h and fig. 34.50-h that fix the flanges fig. 34.49-p and fig. 34.50-
p to the side plate.
Then proceed to the setting of the basic gap between the offset and pressure cylinders to the 2,05 mm G-
Emma 4210 gage with the help of the knobs fig. 34.49-g and fig. 34.50-g. When turning the knob to the left the
gap increases, when turning to the right the gap reduces.

The set the stop screw fig. 34.49-m so that the lever fig. 34.49-n seats on this screw without clearance. Lock
the screw in position with the nut fig. 34.49-o. Such a setting corresponds to the printing on the paper 0,1 mm
thick. Therefore the 0,1 mm value shall be set on the indicator fig. 34.49-j and fig. 34.50-j scales - fig. 34.51 -
with turning the indicator around the center of the circular scale.
Insert the indicator set in this manner into the body of the knob fig. 34.49-g and fig. 34.50-g. Lock the indicator
position in the knob body with the screws fig. 34.49-t and fig. 34.50-t so that the connecting line of the values
0 and 0,3 on the circular scale is in the vertical position. Then take the measure of the gap between the forme
and the offset cylinders at nine points (3 measuring actions parallel and 3 transversal with respect to the
cylinders). Enter the minimum and maximum values in the accompanying card of the press. The gaps should
be measured and set with the help of the G-Emma 4302 gages.

36.2 DI system calibration


This test consists of three parts:
a) The ”DENSITY” test is applied for density correction (32 diodes). In case that the density of neighbouring
diodes is changed, it is possible to insert corrected values in the DI control program in order to guarantee
that all the diodes in particular printing unit are of the same density.
b) The ”X-OFFSET” test makes possible to perform the leading screw correction. When the diode offsetting
is not properly adjusted the image shows visible overlapping of neighbouring zones (dark line) or
interspace between them (light line).
c) The ”Y-OFFSET” test makes possible to adjust all the laser diodes in order to start the imaging
process in the same distance from the plate front edge.

The zones are imaged by laser modules. Each module consists of 4 laser diodes -
see the fig. 36.2.

36.2.2 Test form description


DENSITY evaluation:
Electric current value for each laser diode can be adjusted in order to set the image constant density in the
whole printing area. For the screen tone density see the example in the fig. 36.3. Due to the 4-diodes
configuration in each module it is not possible to find out by means of this form, which diode/s caused the
different density. This is the reason for using a special test form (DENSITY 1-3.blk) - see the fig. 36.4, which
is able to distinguish individual diodes, and thus makes possible to evaluate diode density and perform their
corrections by electric current changes.

DENSITY 1-3 test form: see the fig. 36.4


The 100% image area stripe: This test field is applied to evaluate the capability to image 100% solid tone
area without any non-printed spots. It is designated for specified equipment calibration.
The 30% image area stripe: The test field is applied to evaluate 30% screen tone area imaging. It serves for
checking the density setting in all the zones in particular printing units.
The stripe labelled as Diode 1-32: In this test field each laser diode performs the imaging on a separate
location. It is designated for diode density evaluation.
The stripe labelled as X-OFFSET, and Y-OFFSET: The test field is applied for diode aligning and image
adjusting.

The DENSITY, X-OFFSET, and Y-OFFSET tests are to be performed in the same
time for single imaged copy.

X-OFFSET test evaluation:


Imaged lines of each zone in the X axis direction must start in the same point where the neighbouring zone
line ends, in order to eliminate any visible interspace or overlapping - see the fig. 36.5 and 36.6.
The fig. 36.5 shows four possible events:
A Satisfactory result.
B An interspace can be seen between all the zones. It is necessary to enter correction value in the DI
control program.
Example for correction value: +10.
C Overlapping can occur between all the zones. It is necessary to enter correction value in the DI control
program.
Example for correction value: -10.
D The zone No. 4 shows an interspace or overlapping. It is necessary to perform mechanical adjustment of
the optics for the 4th zone.

Optics mechanical adjustment:


The required axial shift of the optics is carried out by means of worm drive in following way: Should the zone
No. 4 (see the fig. 36.5) be shifted to the left, it is necessary to turn the worm drive for the 4th zone ”counter
clockwise” (for the shift to the right select the ”clockwise” direction). One worm drive revolution shifts the
zone optics by c. 20 µm (1/4 revolution corresponds to c. 5 µm).

36.2.3 Test proceeding


Set the bellow mentioned parameters for the Density50 (1270 dpi) a Density100 (2540 dpi) printing form.

DENSITY setting:
1) Clean the optics glasses in the imaging unit (in all printing units).
Perform the diode density adjustment and apply the cyan ink to all inking units.
2) Image the plates, clean them, and imprint the imaged plate.
3) Visually check the density on the DIODE 1-32 test field. In case that any difference between the
imaged filed is visible, record the values which are necessary for the diode correction. Increase or
decrease the diode power in order to achieve the same density within the range of all the diodes. For
example of correction values setting see the fig. 36.4.
4) Insert the correction values in the Delta N50 column of the FactPwr chart - see the fig. 36.8.
The N50 is used for 1270 dpi resolution, the N100 for 2540 dpi resolution.
Maximum current for laser diode - 1550 mA.
Minimum current for laser diode - 800 mA.
Before entering new values load the current data.

Y-OFFSET setting:
5) After recording the density correction values for the individual diodes, evaluate the Y-OFFSET test by
means of 50x-magnifying microscope. Between individual zones (or diodes) check the spot of the
”altitudinal” connection of neighbouring lines. The fig. 36.7 shows an example of the ”altitudinal” failure
in the zone No. 2.

First, the correction values are to be entered for the zone (diode) No. 2 and
subsequently for other zones. The zone (diode) No. 1 must stay in the ”zero position”.

The line thickness equals 28 µm – this value can help on correcting the value setting.
6) The correction values insert in the FactPwr chart.
The Change column is reserved for corrections between individual zones.

For the appropriate zone enter the value for the first diode.

The Offset column is reserved for corrections between individual diodes.


Before entering new values load the current data.
7) Save the entered values.

X-OFFSET setting:
8) Evaluate the X-OFFSET test by means of 50x-magnifying microscope between individual zones (or
diodes), check the connection spot of neighbouring lines. The fig. 36.6 shows an example of line
interspace or overlapping.

The line thickness equals 28 µm – this value can help on correcting value setting.

36 - 7
DI SYTEM ADJUSTMENT

9) The correction values insert in the VarParms chart (LeadScrewComp parameter) - see the fig. 36.1.
The values measured on print-out add or subtract (according to the sign) to the current value.
Before entering new values load the current data.
10) Save the entered values.
Terminate the NSA program and activate it again.
11) Repeat the steps 2 ÷ 10, as long as the optimum result is not reached on all printing units.

For repeating DI calibration proceeding select the Density50_2.blk printing form.

The Densita50_1.blk and Densita50_2.blk forms are displaced to each other in order to place the both

1) Set the zero position for the both radial and axial registers on all printing units.
In the Register chart set all the values to zero.
2) After imaging the plates and subsequent cleaning print the grid in all printing units in-line. Proceed as
follows:
- Set by means of remote controlled registers the ink coverage on the left bottom sheet area, record
the image shift values.
- Measure the deviation on the right sheet area in the Y axis direction only. This value serves for front
line skewing. The measured value is to be recorded.
3) The correction values enter in the Register chart - see the fig. 36.9.
Yoffset – for radial shift setting
Xoffset – for axial shift setting
Skew – for front line skewing
Grow/Shrink – for image lengthening or shrinking
The Xoffset, Yoffset, MechSkew, and GrowShrink values cannot on ”first” setting contain any negative
value.
Before entering new values load the current data.
4) Save the entered values.
5) After entering the correction values in the DI control program, set the zero position for the both radial
and axial registers on all printing units.
6) Repeat the steps 2 ÷ 5 as long as the defined front line ink coverage is reached for all printing units.

DI SYTEM ADJUSTMENT

If the imaged printing area is not symmetrically located between the plate cylinder
bearers, shit it in the X axis direction to fulfil this condition.

7) Image the Grid.blk file on all printing units.


8) On test copy measure deviation between the sheet upper and the middle part, in the Y axis direction
only. This value serves for image location setting - for its lengthening or shrinking. Record the measured
value.
9) The correction values (for image lengthening or shrinking) enter in the Register chart and save them.
Reset the remote controlled registers.
10) Repeat the steps 7 ÷ 9 as long as the defined front line ink coverage is reached for all printing units.
Within the test procedure the side lay should draw the sheet to 1 side only. Subsequently print out the
grid on all printing units in single sheet pass through the press.

PRINTING UNIT ADJUSTMENT

37 PRINTING UNIT ADJUSTMENT

Since the ADAST 507 DI is neither equipped with clamp bars which would enable diagonal plate skewing nor
with the software implementation for plate direct imaging, it is impossible to turn imaged picture sidelong, so it
is necessary to provide the skewing of particular printing units. This vertical printing unit correction is to be
carried out, when the parallelity of printed lines (perpendicular to the print direction) exceeds the permissible
allowance. The diagonal adjustment (skewing) is to be carried out before the radial adjustment is being performed,
because the diagonal adjustment effects the radial adjustment.

Procedure:
Cross line A position (see fig. 37.1): The printing unit, on which the cross line is printed out, is necessary to
shift down (the displacement value see tab. 37.1) in relation to the foregoing printing unit. For example, the
skewing of the printing unit No. 4 in relation to the printing unit No. 3 is to be carried out by means of screws
in press footings.
Cross line B position (see fig. 37.1): The printing unit, on which the cross line is printed out, is necessary to
shift up in relation to the foregoing printing unit.

The vertical displacement of any printing unit is possible on the press operating
side only.

The maximum vertical displacement of the printing unit equals 0.5 mm.

In this case it is necessary to realise that the adjustment of one printing unit effects the setting of subsequent
printing unit. This is why all the screws in the press footings must be checked for no clearance between the
screws and the floor supporting the printing unit. This check-up shall be performed for all printing units before
the printing process is started.
