Thomas, I would like to add a few more suggestions before you order a board and find out it is not the problem. I checked the wiring diagram for the machine and I found a few more things for you to check: Are you getting incoming voltage to the board at terminals 2 and 4? I would start at...

Here are the part numbers: Here are the part numbers: Hi Thomas, I am a tech support specialist for Stahlfolders at Heidelberg USA. You can contact your regional Heidelberg organization. You will need the serial number of the machine. What you didn't tell us was what type of feeder it is...

You might want to locate an equipment dealer in your area and dicuss a product called DG Creaser. It is available via Heidelberg or Baumfolder. It can score or perf depending on what you need it to do. It can do multiple parallel scores or perfs in the same pass.

Notch perf versus Perfect Binding perf Notch perf versus Perfect Binding perf Ok, let's try to clear this up. What I assume you to mean as a perfect binding perf, is simply that; a perf in the folded signature, both along the head and spine. The purpose of the perf is to let the air out of...

Agreed. If you read my last post, I said essentially the same thing, I just added the commentary regarding the rollers, to "clear the air," if you will. I do not think that all of the details were ferreted out from the initial post, so in reading the number of responses, I found it interesting...

Baumfolder does not have parts, operator or wiring manuals for the T-49. That is a very old machine. One additional note, parts are hard to come by for that machine, particularly factory rollers. I can supply you with a manual, please email me and I will forward you the files. I would have...

No, Al. I will not apologize. I stand by what I said and it is not a personal attack. If one is going to place a post and offer an opinion, then so be it. I have the same option. I am not attacking anyone, nor should I be attacked. I am merely pointing out that the differences of roller...

Al, are you still online? If so let's chat.

Al, Thanks for your interest. If you Google "folding machine history," you will find several hits. IM me and we can chat.

Malcom and Al, Your banter back and forth has merit. I can offer a technical explanation of the so-called "superior" design as Malcolm likes to think, but it isn't what he [Malcolm] thinks. The spiral roller is cheaply manufactured and is not a solid component through the roller. It is an...

On another note, there are no "folder wars" here. I will answer the questions as best I can, but I will not bash any competitive manufacturer in the process. Alas, the debate rages...who makes a better machine? Those of you who are debating...check the history of folding machines and see...

Leedsprinter, I agree that the age of the machine should not affect quality of performance; the engineering has proven itself by virtue of the machine's longevity. Worn parts are certainly a common cause of folding and production problems. John, Al, and others have offered some great advice...
