Advanced Punch Service Manual
The Die Set assembly is not serviceable other than inspection and periodic
lubrication.
If a Die Set is at its end of life, it will tend to cause paper jam due to hanging chips.
This is a result of die plate wear, and not pin wear, which cannot be corrected.
When this occurs, the Die Set should be replaced with a new one.
The Advanced Punch Die Sets have a minimum life expectancy of 500K cycles
(sheets of paper punched). With periodic lubrication and optimum paper types, life
can exceed this number. Access GP6 #1 to read the counter for the GBC module.
Variables that affect life expectancy:
•
Failure to follow the lubrication schedule or using the incorrect lubricant
•
Variety and types of paper being punched
•
Cover stocks being punched
•
Length of the average job
•
Other environmental conditions
The Advanced Punch uses two types of Die Sets.
