Hickey Catcher

[Brian Dup]

We installed a SM 74, received these hickey catchers( see attached pic) but cannot seem to work them. Can someone using these please tell me how to use then. I think there is some kind or rail or support bar missing on the press.

we have similar on our 300.
there should be a slot somewhere that they slide into and a spring loaded peice that they fit into. they slide back and forth on a track and you just aim it up to where the hicky is and push it into the plate for a couple of revolutions. keep them very clean as they will scratch plates very easily if you dont

Thanks Albert,

My press doesn't have the piece you are talking about. is it possible that you can post a pic of this part where the hickey catcher slips onto?

 

[Albert Noel]

it's likely different on an sm74. that's just how ours works on our roland.
but that's how those hickey removers work in general, just pushing them into the plate.

Try looking at the Back of the unit under were the gurads for the rollers are,

I've noticed that there is something missing there, but I do not know what it looks like or where exactly it goes. Please can someone take a picture of one on a SM74 and post it.

look under the water tray for a numbered slot that runs across the press

Under the water tray! Look with flash light, There is a carrier make sure that is allighned with insert slot first. Insert at widend slot on OS. Scale matches ink zones. TEST FIRST! There is a adjusment on catcher for depth. test with damps down at idle after job completion so as not to ruin a good plate. good force is needed once depth set, so start easy while testing. You will hear some screetching, this is normal. Clean after every job completion or end of day(if not changing colors)
Good luck.
