1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The machine multimaster CAS 35 PBA is a computer-controlled folder with an
infeed width of up to 35 cm.
The sheets are fed by means of the bottom-feed, top-loading air feeder PBA (2).
The register table (3) aligns the sheets before folding.
The folded sheets are fanned out on the delivery table (4).
1
Fold Principle
4
Buckle Fold
The infeed rollers (1) and (2) transport the
sheet to be folded into the fold plate (3).
As soon as it comes up against the adjustable
stop (4), the sheet forms a buckle (5) because
the infeed rollers keep on moving.
The loop gets bigger until the sheet is seized
by rollers (2) and (6); this is where the actual
fold occurs.

8. AIR FEEDER PBA
Principle of
Operation
Description
The air feeder PBA is suitable for handling a wide variety of papers - uncoated as
well as coated, freshly printed or thin papers.
The sheets are separated by air and vacuum.
Air is supplied from the bottom of the stack both on the left and right side,
separating the paper in the stack which now floats in a cushion of air.
A rotating suction drum can then separate the sheets from the bottom of the
paper stack.
This principle has the advantage that paper can be continuously reloaded with
the machine running. There is no need to stop the machine.
Components and operating elements of the air feeder PBA:
1 Feed table
2 Air guides left and right
3 Knobs for adjusting the air guides
4 On/Off switch for pump
5 Front paper stop
6 Guide rollers
7 Suction drum with suction segment

Setting the Format
When setting the format, care should be taken that the sheets are fed
approximately from the center.
• Loosen the handles (5 and 6) by turning
them counter-clockwise.
• Set the left feed guide to half sheet width
with the help of the scales (7).
• Tighten the handle of the left feed guide (5).
•
Place a stack of about 50 sheets on the
feed table.
Slide the right feed guide (8) against the
•
edge of the stack.
Make sure that the sheet does not actually touch the guide. There should be
a gap of approx. 0.5 mm. The right and left feed guide should be parallel.
• Thighten the handle (6) at the right feed guide.
If the width of the paper is less than 7 cm, only one paper guide can be
used.

Setting the Sheet
Separation
Setting the Air
Sheet separation is achieved by the combined action of the rotating suction drum,
the paper stop and the air.
Paper weight and type of paper have an influence on the setting.
A suction drum (1) separates the sheets from
the bottom of the stack.
This is achieved by the suction segment (2)
inside the suction drum.
The angle of the suction segment with
respect to the paper stop can be changed to
suit different types of paper.
Basic Setting
• Loosen the screw (3).
• Shift the screw (3) to the left or to the right
until the figure "0" appears in the window (4).

4
1

2
Tighten the screw (3).
•
Now the suction segment is in its zero
position (5).
5
Most types of paper with a weight of 80 to 90 GSM can be separated in this position.
For different paper grades, other figures must be set in the window.
- Paper grades below 80 GSM: 1 to 2
- Paper grades above 90 GSM: -1 to -2
Mathias Bäuerle GmbH 17
Operator's Manual multimaster CAS 35 PBA Air Feeder PBA
Vacuum setting for light paper grades:
For running light-weight paper, first try the suction segment setting as
described under "Basic Setting".
A steeper inclination is only necessary for special types of paper.
Light paper grades easily cling to the curve of the suction drum.
Therefore the suction segment must be tilted in direction of the paper stop.
The inclination of the suction segment in this
direction has the effect that the paper is wrapped
around the suction drum (1).
1
The sheets are easily separated from the stack
and double sheets occur very rarely.
In the batch counting mode it may happen occasionally that a single sheet is fed
during the interval time.
This is caused by the fact that the suction drum continues to turn during the interval
time (although without vacuum). For light paper grades the friction between paper
and suction drum may be sufficient for detaching a sheet.
To prevent this, a special plate (2) can be placed
over the suction drum. This plate, which is pulled
out of the feed table, can cover the suction drum
3
to its highest point (3).
Sheet are no longer affected by the friction
2
of the suction drum.
Proceed as follows to pull out the plate:
5
• Loosen the screw (4).
• Insert a screwdriver in the hole (5).
• Pull out the plate.
Tighten the screw (4).
•
4
Vacuum setting for heavy paper grades
Heavy paper grades do not easily cling to the curve
of the suction drum.
For this reason the suction segment must be tilted
in direction of the paper stack.
6
The inclination of the suction segment in this
direction has the effect that the paper is barely
wrapped around the suction drum (6).
This is sufficient because heavier paper grades
are more easily separated from the stack.
18 Mathias Bäuerle GmbH
Operator's Manual multimaster CAS 35 PBA Air Feeder PBA
Vacuum:
Vaccuum can be modified by means of a regulating
valve (1). This is necessaary because heavy paper
grades require more vacuum than light paper grades.
The vacuum can be modified by turning knob (1).

Setting the vacuum:
For setting the vaccum, the machine must be turned on (see paragraph 13).
Exercise caution in the vicinity of rotating shafts and rollers!
Hair, loose garments and jewellery may get caught!

•
Close the valve (1) for setting the minimum effect.
•
Start the machine.
• Slowly open the valve (1) by turning the knob clockwise.
Observe the sheet separation while doing this.
At first no sheets are pulled off the stack or they are pulled off irregularily.
The more the valve is opened, the smoother is the paper transport.
Make sure that much vaccum does not cause feeding of double sheets.
Switch off the machine.

Infeed Balls
During transport from the feeder to the register table,
the separated sheets are guided by infeed balls (2, 3).
Adjust the infeed balls in such a way that they run on
the guide rollers (4) below, independent of the
paper size.
For accurate positioning, loosen the clamp csrew (5)
of the ball cages by turning them counter-clockwise.
If the infeed width of the paper is smaller
than 28 cm resp. 11", the outer infeed balls
must be removed. For this lift the carrier
arm (6) until it is locked (7).

Operator's Manual multimaster CAS 35 PBA Air Feeder PBA
Front Paper Stop
The position of the front paper stop (1) can be adjusted in a horizontal and vertical
direction.
Adjusting the horizontal position:
The horizontal position of the front paper stop
determines the suction point on the paper and
in turn depends on the position of the suction
segment in the suction drum.
The inclination of the suction
segment must be set correctly
before making the horizontal
adjustment.
When the suction segment is adjusted, the
horizontal position must also be changed
accordingly.
•
Turn the handwheel until the openings of the suction drum (2) are exactly above
the openings of the suction segment (3).
• Adjust the horizontal position of the front paper stop in such a way that it forms
a vertical line (4) with the leading edge of the suction openings.
To achieve this, turn the knurled screw (5) counter-clockwise.
