The Morgana Digicreaser is a fully automatic, after feeding, creasing system designed for use with both conventional litho and digital printers. The Digicreaser is capable of creasing sheet sizes to a maximum of 630mm x 330mm (24.8” x 13”) and weights up to 400gsm.
Safety Do’s & Don’ts Safety Do’s & Don’ts Do - read this operator manual fully before operating the machine. Do - operate with the designated AC current only. Use an exclusive outlet, as overloading may cause fire or an electric shock. Do - install the power cord out of the way to avoid a tripping hazard.
DigiCreaser THE CONTROLS The Display Unit and the Switches on the Control Panel allow the operator to read, edit, create and initiate numerous creasing programs within the memory. The Control Panel houses the Selection Switch, System Switch, and an industry standard Emergency Stop switch which will stop all power going to the machine when activated.

DigiCreaser The Stacker Assembly The stacker unit on the Digicreaser is used to catch the sheets once they have been creased or perforated. Setting the Stacker assembly Assemble the stacker unit to the machine as shown in fig 13.1 below.
Page 14
The Stacker Assembly Whilst the sheet is between the two guides on the stacker bed, set the distance between the top of the sheet and the backstop flanges to approximately 5mm. For shorter sheets, the back stop can be used (as shown in FIG 13.1 to adjust the position of the paper stack.
DigiCreaser Perforating Once the machine is set- up, the Digicreaser can be used to perforate or crease. Note Perforating and creasing can be carried out simultaneously. However, if any adjustment is made to the roller tilt mechanism in order to compensate for the perforation line being ’out of square’, this may effect the accuracy of the crease.
Perforating All of the blades and anvils are supplied with fixings. *Perforator stripper Standard Part Number 78-013 *It is recommended that for multiple perforations, a separate perforator stripper is used for every perforating blade set fitted in the creasing unit. Setting the machine Turn the mains supply to the machine ‘off’.

DigiCreaser Perforating 11. Mount the other anvil ensuring that they have matched on the drive hub. Secure the anvil to the hub ensuring not to over tighten grub screw as shown in fig 16.2. 12. Slide the drive hub towards the perforating drive wheel until there is a clearance of 0.5mm.
The Blade Assembly Adjusting the blade pressure (no paper required) 1. (i) Switch the power ‘on’ by turning the Emergency stop button clockwise to release the safety latch. The display is now switched on and will show the start up menu as shown below.
Digicreaser The Blade Assembly Adjusting the blade alignment It is extremely important that the blade and anvil assembly within the creasing unit is correctly aligned. Misalignment of the blade or anvil can lead to damaged profiles and subsequently poor quality creasing so it must, therefore, be corrected immediately.

Replacing Blade Set Before removing the blade assembly, ensure that the lower blade / anvil is NOT at ‘top dead centre’, Switch the machine off. Remove the stacker unit and lift the exit guard. Using a 6mm allen key, loosen the socket Blade Extractor Tools head screws located inside the blade adjustment cams.
DigiCreaser Replacing Blade Set FIG 21.1 11. Push the exit guard down and replace the stacker assembly before operating the machine. 12. Switch the machine on and test the crease for form. If the pressure and the alignment of the crease is not to a satisfactory level, see pages 19 –20 to adjust the creasing line.
