Introduction
Crease Matic Auto 50
Designed and manufactured in the U.K., the new Crease Matic Auto 50 is a fully
programmable high speed card creaser. Documents are suction fed and creased at up to
7000 sheets per hour. It is possible to crease Digital and Litho printed card, removing
cracking that may occur at the folding stage.
The CM Auto 50 is capable of accommodating stock from CD-SRA2 (500x700mm), with
a capability to program a maximum of 29 creases per sheet anywhere along its length.
A maximum of 99 different jobs can be programmed and saved to the machines internal
memory, making the selection and recall of common jobs quick and easy.
Jobs may be programmed in either Absolute or Incremental measurements and image
shift adjustments can be made with one alteration.
The machine is supplied with rotary perforation that is adjustable across the width of the
document, and four widths of slide-out and turn crease matrix as standard.

When installing the machine the supplied power cable should be plugged into the
switched power socket on the machine and then to the power supply socket. Switch the
machine on and the control screen should initialize. The compressor/vacuum unit has a
separate on/off switch located under the Choke Control Wheel. This allows the unit to be
switched off when not in use.

Setting Side Lays
There are two side lays on the machine which sit at each side of the paper on the infeed
section. Their purpose is to guide the paper under the feed gate and into the feed rolls
accurately, to ensure a square crease is made across the document. They also supply air to
the underside of the paper stack, by way of thin slots, in order to make the paper “float”
before the bottom sheet is vacuum fed away under the feed gate.
On the CM Auto 50 there is also the capability to adjust the lays out of squareness to
accommodate for non square crease lines, although this adjustment is minimal.

Firstly, ensure that the squareness adjustment is set to its central position by aligning the
two marks on the machine bed.
The right hand side lay has four location positions. By removing the thumbscrews at the
feed gate end, the lay may be extracted from one slot and repositioned in another, using
the thumbscrew to secure it. This position must be selected with the paper size being fed
in mind, in order to keep the feed gate as central as possible to the paper centre line.
Once the right hand lay is in position, loosen the two thumbscrews at either end of the left
hand side lay and with a single sheet in the machine, push it across to the correct width of
document. The lays should not pinch the document and the paper must sit on top of the
protruding edge at the base of the lay. Secure the thumbscrews when in position.

Air Flow
Slots
Air flow to the slots is controlled using the thumbscrews running along the top edge of
each lay. By screwing them down all the way the flow of air will be stopped. This should
be done if the document does not cover the slots. Screwing them up will allow air to pass
through the slot. The thumbscrews are fitted with antivibration devices, to prevent the
settings from altering during normal operation. After placing the paper onto the machine,
the magnetic backstop should be placed behind the stack to prevent it from moving.

The outfeed tray has two thumbscrews , one on each side. By loosening the thumbscrews
the bottom stop plate may be extended to allow larger sheets to be collected without
damage.
The magnetic side plates may be positioned to keep fed documents stacked accurately.
The outfeed tray can be removed in order to adjust the lower perforation wheel shaft.
