Magnus 800 platesetter PROBLEM

[Ilustrator]

The humidity is about 40 to 45%, but the plate picker can not lift the paper at all, so it must be a electric charge problem, I guess that we will have to install an ionizer in the room, until then we pull the paper from the autoloader by hand. Also today we have done about a 100 B1 plates on it, and apparently there seems to be a problem with the punch, because it does not move the plate in the right position after it punchs it. The plate is stuck over the sensors, and we have to move it manually.

We cleaned the sensors, the bands in the imagesetter but it did not help.

It certainly sounds like that the paper is stuck unto the plate due to very strong static. Have you got humidity control in the room? If not install a humidifier. When you remove the paper manually do you feel a strong resistance to it?
Is the plate punched correctly? After punching the loading platform should pull the plate away from the punches and present it to the drum for loading.. Does this happen? You can clean the belts with a damp cloth. What plates are you using?

On more thing that I should have mentioned. Please try and store your plates in the same room where the M800 is or at least 48 hours before usage. Also, before putting the plates into the cassette fan them out like the some press men do it with paper.

What is the latest with your Magnuses?

Hello,

well we will install an ionizer in the room because the humidity in the room is very low. J sent a error log to Kodak, because when the plate is measured on the drum it shows 607x745 instead of 605x745. So they say that they will replace that part.
Again the paper from the autoloader can not be lifted and we have to do it manually.

Thanks for your feedback.
On the Loadung Platform there is detector on th RHS which measures the length of the plate during plate loading. so either the detector is at fault or the Machine Systen Board that receives the signal from the detector.
You should already have aN Ionizer in the Autioloader . You also need humidity control in the room that can be achived with a Humidifier. The ones that are plumbed in are much better than a cheap free standing one. By the way, where about you are?
