The Stacker Assembly The stacker unit on the machine 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. Important Ensure that the stacker unit has been assembled to the machine properly.
Page 31
AutoCreaser Pro 50 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.
Perforating Once the machine is set-up, the Autocreaser Pro 50 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.
Page 33
AutoCreaser Pro 50 Perforating All of the blades and anvils are supplied with fixings. *Perforator stripper 78-013 Standard Part Number *It is recommended that for multiple perforations, a separate perforator stripper is used for every perforating blade set fitted in the creasing unit.
Page 34
Perforating 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. Slide the drive hub towards the perforating drive wheel until there is a clearance of 0.5mm.

Page 36
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. If the blade set is misaligned, the media being driven will be subject to scoring or even Please note that to avoid damage to the tearing at any point along the crease line.
