Heidelberg GTO 46 trouble feeding 10-hole paper

[cwatts84]

Hey guys, I have a 1 color Heidelberg GTO 46 and the only way I have found to run 10-hole drilled (top) paper is to put a piece of tape over one of the holes on the feed gripper. It runs fine running regular stocks (with no holes) but is becoming a pain because the tape eventually comes off and the press stops! Any ideas or fixes for this? Thanks!

Replate and run the tail end (no holes edge) first . . .

There is rail sucker bar for thin papers perhaps that might do the trick, search it on google

To follow up on this . . . the holes on the forwarding grippers are for sheet detection if there is no paper blocking it, it does not sense a sheet and stops the press . . . either feed it so the holes in the paper don't line up with the grippers or run it tail end first if you have enough gripper . . .

Thanks for all of the responses. It seems that maybe the holed paper is off when it comes from the manufacturer? For the past 10 years or so, I have been able to run 10-hole paper with no problems and all of the sudden its stopping the press. I will look into this. I will probably have more press questions about other things so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks again

Bah did not understand it was feeding grippers :S as said either tape gripper or check finger grippers have equal bite of paper

Hi sir
You need to make adjustment of the sucker bar in relation
to the sheet stop and the feed grippers.
Let me know
