Failing bearing?

[newguy26]

Just trying to isolate some things. Have a strange noise in the feeder side for roller/plate cylinder area. Doesn’t really seem to be dependent on anything other than the press being at a moderate to high speed 5000 to 10,000 iph. Supervisor thinks could also be roller setting. I don’t want these complex presses. It can be a lot of things insight. We’re pretty small print shop. We don’t have a dedicated maintenance crew and I’m relatively new press operator.

2003 Heidelberg Sm74 LX with cp2000

Watch unnamed | Streamable This noise happens on blanket wash program

Watch unnamed | Streamable This is what I think is the bearing going out these noises are in the same spot.

If it sounds like squeaking or sounds like metal on metal and sounds like it's coming from the rollers it is a bad bearing. Look for metal shavings and if you see metal shavings it needs to fixed now. If it sounds really bad I have seen the roller start to bore a hole in the side frame.
