EM 260/410/510 Slitting fixture BG 12

Description

Slitting fixture BG 12 must be fitted into

die- cutting station BG 06 instead of the
die- cutting cylinder.
The basic equipment consists of three
upper cutters and three lower cutters. If
required the slitting fixture can be fitted
with additional upper and lower cutters.
The slitting width of the cutters can be
adjusted outside the die-cutting station BG
06. It is also possible to set the lateral
cutting pressure of the cutters while the
machine is running.

During changing upper cutters the
following steps must be taken:
• Remove upper cutter block from die-
cutting station BG 06.
• Dismantle pressure bar 4 from sliding
blocks 6.
• Pull sliding block 6 on operating side
(BDS) off the upper cutter shaft 5.
• Loosen groove nut 15 with sickle
spanner and pull the complete upper
cutter off upper cutter shaft 5.
• Take circlip 13 off.
• Pull cutter 12 off holder and exchange
with new cutter.

Note:
When inserting the new cutter, tension
spring 14 must be pushed to the right
hand side so that it is easy to insert the
cutter into the guide.
• Insert circlip 13.
Now the complete upper cutter can be slid
onto upper cutter shaft 5 and put into
position. The location of the upper cutter
on the cutting position is carried out by
tightening groove nut 15.
3.2.3.2 Changing lower cutter
Before changing the lower cutter the lower
cutter block must be removed from die-
cutting station BG 06.
TN_ _0104/09^ 12 S01-e /03.05.01 Version:0

The following steps must then be taken:
• Loosen fixing screws of path rollers 19
at the operating side of the lower cutter
block.
• Pull the side piece 18 on the operating
side from the lower cutter shaft 9.
• Loosen the set screw at set collar 11
and pull it off the lower cutter shaft 9.
• Loosen the clamping of lower cutter 10
with the set key and pull this from
lower cutter shaft 9 as well.

3. Operation
3.4 Settings
3.4.1 Setting immersion depth
The overlap between upper and lower
cutters should be about 1,5 mm. The
overlap can be adjusted by turning
pressure screws 2 . After the correct
immersion depth has been set, lock nuts 3
must be tightened.
3.4.2 Axial engagement of the cutters
Cutter 12 should touch the cutting edges
of the lower cutter 10 with a slight
engagement pressure. Axial engagement is
carried out with setting screw 20. The
engagement pressure should be more or
less the same for all cutters. Readjustment
of upper cutter 12 or lower cutter 10
might be necessary.

3.4.3 Cross register adjustment
Cross register adjustment is carried out
with the cross register adjustment spindle
at die- cutting station BG 06. This
provides an adjustment range of ± 5 mm.
3.5 Starting up
After all necessary settings have been
carried out the printing machine can be run
up to the required production speed.

3.6 Shutting down
3.6.1 Shutting down for a short period
During a short interruption of the
production process, no measures need to
be taken or adjustments made to slitter
fixture BG 12.
3.6.2 Shutting down at end of shift
At the end of shift the printing machine
must be switched off (see operating
instructions „Drive station BG 09“).
The following measures must be taken at
slitter fixture BG 12:
• Turn setting screw 20 until there is a
little distance between upper cutter 12
and the cutting edge of lower cutter 10.
This measure relieves the cutting edges of
upper cutters 12 and lower cutters 10 .
TN_ _0104/09^ 12 S01-e /03.05.01 Version:0
Slitting fixture BG 12
At the start of the new shift the setting
screw 20 must be turned until the correct
engagement pressure has been reached.
3.6.3 Shutting down over a longer period
If slitting fixture BG 12 is not to be used
over a longer period, die-cutting station BG
06 must be reset to normal function, i.e.
exchanging slitter fixture BG 12 with anvil
cylinder and die-cutting cylinder ).
Afterwards slitting fixture BG 12 should be
thoroughly cleaned. During the course of
cleaning work it is possible to find out if
some parts are worn and in this case they
should be exchanged.

4. Care and maintenance
4.1 Qualification of staff
Cleaning and maintenance work may only
be performed by staff who are familiar
with the machine (see "General safety
instructions", item 1.1.5 "Responsibility of
staff" at the beginning of this manual).
4.2 Care
At the end of the shift, slitter fixture BG
12 should be thoroughly cleaned (see item
4.2.1 and 4.2.2). During this cleaning
work possible wear can be discovered.
The relevant parts can then be exchanged
so that longer periods of machine
stoppage can be avoided.
Lubricants which are removed in the
course of cleaning must be replaced. This
helps to reduce the wear of the relevant
parts considerably.
