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 are programmed in Absolute mode. All crease positions are measured from the leading edge and entered directly. Incremental mode may be used to make image shift adjustments 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.

Machine Components

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 will 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 releasing 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.

Setting Side Lays cont.
Air flow to the slots is controlled using the thumbscrews running along the top edge of each lay. By screwing them down (clockwise) 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 anti-vibration 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.

Setting Outfeed Tray

Thumbscrews
Magnetic Side Lays
Bottom Stop Plate
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.

Changing Crease Matrix

The machine is supplied with two crease matrix bars that have different widths of slot on either side. One of these slots allows the operator to use replaceable self adhesive matrix bars, the other three may be changed depending on the thickness of the material to be creased.
The bar must only be changed while the machine is in its rest position with the knife at its highest point. Withdraw the bar from the slot, turn or replace with the correct size slot, and slid the bar into the machine until it stops.

Choke Adjustment and Rotating Cylinder

The choke is used to control the amount of vacuum applied to the front edge of the paper through the rotating cylinder holes. The amount of vacuum needed is dependant on the type of paper being fed. Thin gauge paper, 80gsm to 90gsm will tend to wrap around the cylinder easier than thick gauge paper, and will need less vacuum to feed. By rotating the choke control wheel clockwise, more area of slot inside the cylinder is exposed through the holes and so more of the front edge of the document is sucked onto the wheel.
