It is possible to feed quite a variety of jobs, from 30” sheets to die cut stocks. However, the performance of the icreaseEXCEL on these special applications is directly related to the experience of the operator.
BE ALERT! BE CAREFUL! CARE AND MAINTENANCE The icreaseEXCEL is a precision machine. It is very important to keep it free of excessive dust, dirt and foreign matter. We recommend that you keep the machine covered when not in use.

ADJUSTING THE FEED RAILS The feed rails on your icreaseEXCEL are designed to adjust easily in case of a problem with crooked feeding. By loosening the feed rail alignment lock knobs you can move each rail independently to square them to your stock. To maintain an accurate perf or score, it is important to get the rails as aligned and snug to the sheet as possible without “squeezing”...
SETTING THE AUTOMATIC FEEDER For efficient Auto-feeding, the setting of the feed wheels is very important. Use a piece of the stock to be run as a “feeler gauge”. Place a sheet under the feed wheels, turn the feed wheel adjustment screw (counterclockwise to raise, clockwise to lower) so that the paper can slip freely under the wheels.
The adjustments previously discussed are very important. The icreaseEXCEL is capable of running 20lb. single sheets, 4 part forms and 100 • lb cover. It is also very capable of handling gloss, coated, and even laminated stocks.
If not loosen the screws on the sensor and adjust the beam until it is on the tape. 4. If all above steps work correctly sensor is working properly, if not, contact the MBM Corporation service department.
PERF SHAFT & STRIKE PLATE A – Support Bar – F-0232 This is the shaft that the roller wheels and perf score are mounted on. B – Lower Sensor Eye Assy. – S-AAM-0230 Located in the platen strike plate, directly below the upper sensor.
PERFORATING AND SCORING ASSEMBLIES For removing and old blade and attaching a new blade to the pressure adjust mounting bracket, remove the (1) button head cap screw. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE SET SCREW SECURELY TO THE BAR. Once you have the upper and lower perf assemblies in place, you can tighten the half dog screw.
Position your score blade as desired. Scores should be made so that the blade runs on the side of the sheet that will be on the outside of the finished fold. Scores may be made on the icreaseEXCEL in three different ways using the different grooves on the lower score assembly.
RAC System (Rotary Actuated Creasing) Assembly Component ID A. RAC drive motor B. Eccentric Drive Shaft C. Upper crease die D. Pressure Adjust bearing blocks (RAC Rollers) E. Lower crease die F. Drive chain & tensioner SEE DRIVE CHAIN TENSIONER ON PAGE 13 G.
ADJUSTING THE RAC ROLLERS The RAC rollers are set from the factory and it is NOT recommended to make any adjustments to this without consulting with MBM’s tech-support department. Should an adjustment be necessary, please follow the steps below. Loosen the small bearing block lock screws. This allows very slight adjustments of the bearing block to be made by loosening the thumb lock and turning the height adjustment screw in the middle of the bearing block.
TROUBLE SHOOTING POWER DOES NOT TURN ON • 1. Check circuit breaker on rear panel. 2. Check outlet for power. POWER TURNS ON BUT HMI DOES NOT LIGHT UP • 1. Check 3 amp breaker on rear panel. 2. Make sure the green lights through the slots in the back panel are on. If not Check outlet power.
