5.1 Function

The purpose of the swing gripper (1) is to take

the sheet that has been aligned in the infeed
and transfer it in perfect register to the infeed
drum (2).
The swing gripper (1) gyrates between the in-
feed plate and the infeed drum (2).

The control of the gripper shaft is controlled by 1 Eccentric cam

an eccentric cam (1).
The gripper closing cam (3/7) for the swing grip-
per is controlled by an eccentric cam (1) and
moves forwards and backwards with the swing
gripper.
At the moment of transfer, the closing cam (3/7)
swings below the roller lever and opens or
closes the grippers.
The closing cam (3/7) is fixed in the mounting by
a locating bolt and cannot be adjusted.

Machine speed
There is an option between the series 742 and

It concerns only straight print machines.
Perfecting machines are excluded of this option.
By means of the increasing the machine speed
some adjustments are changed.
As of the series 747 the increasing the machine

Once the pre-tensioning of the spring is 0°MZ,
the clamp head (SW 14) should be clamped in

held on the swing gripper element and also sup-
ports the axial needle bearing of the gripper
