    Question: Setting MBO Rollers

    Setting the rollers and calibrating the rollers are two different things. To calibrate the rollers you set them with the amount of sheets that will be running through that unit/roller set. I've "set" rollers with one sheet, only to find they where way off when 4 or 8 sheets went through. Also...

    TecLighting 30" UV coater continuous feeder

    We would like to get away from pile loading on the UV coater. Has anyone installed a continuous feeder on a coater? I'm thinking the feeder from a folder customized to fit. Any ideas? D

    Stahl folder fault

    I know this is an old post, however, the "cLr stop" fault can indeed be a stuck stop switch. It can also be the "dummy plug" or delivery table plug is loose or a wire in the connector has come loose. It can also be the limit switch (s) located at the top and bottom of the table. However, none...

    Dog ear corner on second fold of 16 page sig.

    You can try to lower the "lip" of the gate. If it's an older folder you'll have two adjusters at the top of the gate. Turn them counter-clockwise. Make sure they are square and even across. If it gets worse, raise it. If that fails, change the perf to one with less teeth. D

    Problems with my MBO folder

    Clean your deflectors. Ink build-up over time may cause one side to drag. Try going into gate 3 instead of 1 for the fold or 4 instead of 2 when folding down. Cocking the deflector is an option. Make sure the collers on the output shaft are not worn unevenly. Try using NO collers on one side...

    stahl st90 stahl only password

    I would give you the default password but I'm not sure you should have it. Getting into a password protected area can get you in a lot of trouble if you are not sure of what you're doing. Call for service. D

    Can you try and score it first in the first unit and fold in the second and third units? D

    MBO Roller cleaning solution ?

    I use iso. alcohol. The key is not to "flood" the rollers. Put the cleaner on a rag and wipe the rollers down. Avoid getting the solution between the metal shafts and glue under the rubber. I've used type wash with heavy ink build up. Use it sparingly. D

    Heidelberg TH82

    What size is the sheet? I've half folded / slit in the first unit and then half folded in the second unit for a two up 8ppg. To do a 16ppg, you would need to make at least 3 folds. You will be limited to sheet size. D
