Air Flow Controls - Open Date EUROCODE 150 Operator Instructions Manual

The airflow restrictors are usually attached to the solenoid valve exhaust ports. They
work by regulating the speed at which air is exhausted from the air cylinder.
Turning the adjusting screws will alter the exhaust airflow and consequently the print
ram velocity, it will also affect noise levels.
Increasing the exhaust airflow from the forward stroke of the print ram will increase the
print pressure. Decreasing the exhaust airflow will reduce print pressure and the
resulting print will be lighter.
The drive for the printing foil is taken from the return stroke of the print ram. Increasing
the exhaust airflow will speed up the foil feed. To ensure efficient foil feeding, the return
stroke should be as gentle as possible.
For higher speed operation, the exhaust airflow from both the forward and return
strokes will have to be increased.
Note, it is very important that the print ram returns fully before the next print
cycle commences
