INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATION


DigiFold is a registered trade mark of Morgana Systems Ltd. The unique patented
creasing and folding system, makes it possible to fold most delicate stocks from 90gsm,
upto and often above 300gsm. The DigiFold reduces the possibility of scratching, marking
or cracking appearing on the substrate, as is often associated with conventional folding
machine methods. A maximum paper weight cannot be specified, as this can be governed
by the hardness of the substrate or the type of fold required to be produced.

It is IMPORTANT to note that to prevent cracking, when using dry ink or toner based print
engines, the material must be fully acclimatised for at least 48 hours before putting an
image onto the paper.

IMPORTANT the operating environment should be controlled to a temperature between


16° C and 27° C Maximum.

NOTES:-
If a crease position is ‘micro adjusted’, the fold will move with it.

If a fold position is ‘micro adjusted’, then only the fold will move.

‘Micro adjust’ a fold only if the fold appears to be giving an out of square result
or cracking appears.
The fold is probably too close to the center of the crease and will be trying to
fold from one side of the crease to the opposite side of the crease (see page 16
for explanation).

SYSTEM Page 15
Operating the Digifold

SET BY POSITION
IMPORTANT NOTES.
1. If the fold is too near, or on the center line of the crease; the fold will try to fold
diagonally across the crease profile and pull the fold out of square to the paper.

The best fold squareness is achieved when the fold is not on the center line of the
crease, it should be to one side of the crease center line as shown below.

Thus for a crease setting of Cr1 = 100 for example, the fold should be set to a figure
slightly smaller or greater than 100.

Adjusting the Paper Gate


The standard setting for horizontal adjustment of the paper gate is 6.5mm (1/4") away
from the mounting block. Turn disc J to make this adjustment. This setting is only intended
as a guide, for instance, sheets with an upward curl will require this setting to be
increased. Set the height of the Paper Gate to approximately two thicknesses of paper, by
turning knob K. An excessive gap is a most likely cause of double sheet feeding.

IMPORTANT:-
To avoid possible damage to the suction drum,
when adjusting the paper gate height, ensure that
the disc is located over a solid section of the
suction drum and not over a slot in the drum.
Do not adjust the paper gate while the machine is
running.
Setting the suction slot
The suction slot is located inside the vacuum roller and can be adjusted by releasing and
moving the suction knob horizontally in either direction to the required position.
For light stocks set the knob to the left and for heavier stocks set the knob to the right.

Setting the Adjustable Side Lay


Place the paper stack on to the loading table and slide up to the fixed side lay and paper
gate. Release the clamps located at each end of the side lay and slide up towards the
paper stack as shown in FIG 16.1. Allow a gap of approximately 0.5mm (1/64 inch) between
the paper and the side lay.

Adjustable
Side Lay

SYSTEM Page 19
Operating the Digifold

Setting the Back-Stop


Place the back-stop on to the adjustable side lay and slide up towards the paper stack
allowing a gap (as specified in the above step) before clamping. When the extension table
is used for feeding longer sheets, remove clamp type back stop and use the magnetic
type back stop as shown in fig. 18.2.

Setting the Air Distribution


Depending on the length of the sheet to be creased, the air distribution knob can be
rotated to various positions in order to supply air to different ports. Position 1 is
recommended for most sheet sizes. However, a better result may be obtained by using
the below settings or by experimentation.

Position 1 - For A5 sheets or 8 inches long, front port and port 1 open.
2 - For A4 sheets or 11 inches long, front port and port 2 open.
3 - For A3 sheets or 17 inches long, front port and port 3 open.
0 - For longer sheets in order to supply air to the centre of the stack, port
1 and port 2 open.

Setting the Air Separation Pressure


To control the amount of air supplied to the ports, the air separation knob can be adjusted
By first rotating the knob to unlock its position, then push the knob down to the required
Position and rotate the knob to re-lock its position.

Setting the positions of drive wheels and hubs


It is important that the drive wheels and drive hubs on the roller shafts are arranged evenly
across the width of the media being creased. This is done to ensure that the media is
accurately driven and supported through the rollers.
The drive wheels and hubs are fixed to the rollers by means of a grub screw. To locate this
grub screw the rollers can be rotated by operating the motor manually.

DO NOT ROTATE THE DRIVE ROLLERS BY HAND.

Page 20 CREASING / FOLDING


Digifold Operating the Digifold

To operate the motors manually, switch the machine ‘on’ at the Emergency Stop switch.
Whilst holding down Push Button 1, flick the Set-up switch to ‘set up’.
The display will now read ‘hAndLE’. Press the System switch to ‘on’ and use Push Button
1 (forward) and Push Button 2 (reverse) to manually rotate the rollers in short pulses.
Rotate the rollers until the grub screw is located. Lift the exit guard and the machine will
switch ‘off’ automatically. Loosen the drive wheels and hubs by using a 2mm allen key.
Arrange the drive wheels and hubs as shown in FIG 18.1. In order to avoid marking on
some types of media ensure a gap between the drive wheels and drive hubs.

Setting the extension table


The extension table can be fixed to the machine in order to feed through longer sheets.
The table can be supported by the two fixing screws as shown on page 6.
The back stop can be used to support the paper stack as shown in FIG 18.2 below.
The other back stop supplied with the machine can be used as a tool holder as shown in
FIG 18.3 below.

The machine can be programmed and set up in exactly the same way as explained
when operating the machine automatically. However, when setting up the machine the
paper gate must be raised to its highest position for the sheets to be fed freely.
Operating the machine manually will also require the suction length to be continuous in
order to accommodate various types of stock. Therefore, the suction length switch
must be positioned at ‘III’.

The machine can now be started by activating the System switch to ‘on’. Do not
activate the Compressor switch. Flick the Feed switch to ‘on’ and begin to slide the
sheets individually through the paper gate until they are driven by the drive belts.
To stop feeding the sheets, flick the Feed switch to ‘off’ and then the System switch to
‘Off’.

The Delivery Unit

The delivery unit on the Digifold is used to catch the sheets once they have been
creased, or folded.

WARNING:-
The Digifold will not start if the delivery unit is not fitted onto the machine.
Assemble the delivery unit as shown in FIG 23.1.
1. Hook the delivery unit onto the shaft in the positions shown below, being careful to
align the mating connectors.

2. Locate the Support Hoop into the channel on the underside of the delivery unit.

Digifold The Blade Assembly

Adjusting the blade pressure (no paper required)


1. Turn the Emergency Stop button clockwise to switch the machine ‘on’.

2. Activate the system switch and the motors will begin to operate.

3. Flick the ‘Feed’ switch to ‘on’ and then back to ‘off’ to ensure that the lower blade /
anvil is at its bottom position.

4. Press Push Button 3, the machine will automatically switch off and the lower blade /
anvil is set to its top position where the pressure can be adjusted. Raise the exit guard.

5. Using a 6mm allen key, unlock the shoulder bolts (labelled with scale transfer)
positioned at each end of the creasing blade.

6. Turn the adjustment cam to adjust the blade pressure. Increasing the gradient on the
scale will increase the blade pressure.

7. Ensure that the shoulder bolts are locked after setting.

The diagram below demonstrates the adjustment of blade pressure

Adjusting the blade alignment


It is extremely important that the blade and anvil assembly within the creasing unit is
correctly aligned. Misalignment of the blade or anvil can lead to damaged profiles and
subsequently poor quality creasing so it must, therefore, be corrected immediately.

SYSTEM Page 27
The Blade Assembly

If the blade set is misaligned, the media being driven will be subject to scoring or even
tearing at any point along the crease line. Please note that to avoid damage to the
blade set, adjustment should only be made in small increments. The sketch below
demonstrates how the blade alignment can be carried out.
Adjustment can be made at either of the blade or anvil. The two clearance holes
positioned above the roller tilt mechanism are the front alignment (one for blade, one for
anvil). The two holes are repeated on the back of the machine for the back alignment.

1. Remove the stacker unit from the Digifold.

2. Using a 3mm allen key, loosen the cap head type locking screws located on the
front face at both ends of the blade /anvil as shown below.

3. Using a 4mm allen key, locate the two front or back alignment screws in the side
frame in order to adjust the blade / anvil.

4. The upper screw of the two, will adjust the upper blade / anvil whereas the
lower screw will adjust the lower blade / anvil both in very small increments.

5. In order to obtain the required position, adjust either the blade or the anvil by a
small amount and then operate the machine to test the form of the crease.
Repeat the exercise until centralisation is located.

6. Using a 3mm allen key, lock the cap head type screws (as per step 3) on both the
upper and lower blade / anvil.

Page 28 CREASING / FOLDING


Digifold Replacing Blade Sets

1. Before removing the blade assembly, ensure that the lower blade / anvil is NOT
at ‘top dead centre’, ie. Push Button 3 has not been pressed. Switch the machine off.

2. Remove the delivery unit and lift the top guard.

3. Using a 6mm allen key, loosen the socket


Blade Extractor Tools head screws located inside the blade
adjustment cams. Remove the screws and
the blade adjustment cams.

4. Insert the blade extractor tools (70-055-01 &


70-055-02) into the holes in the adjustment
links, as shown. Push downwards on the
handles of the blade extractor tools to
release the blade assembly from the power
links.

5. Slide the blade assembly out of the creasing


unit and lay it on a flat surface.

6. Slide the adjustment links away from the


dowels located in the ends of the blades /
anvils as shown in the photograph (left).

7. Place the new blade set into position.


Check that the eccentric shoulder bolts on
the link plates have been positioned as
shown in fig 26.1.

8. (Upper blade / anvil only)


Slide the adjustment links onto the dowels.

9. Slide the new blade set into the slots of the


FIG 26.1 creasing unit as shown in fig. 27.1.

Locate the blade extractor tools into the holes in


the adjustment links as shown. Pull the handles
of the blade extractor tools upwards to engage
the blade assembly back into the power links.

10. Set the cam graphics for both ends of the blade /
anvil to their lowest point on the scale (ie. When
the mark on the scale reaches the mark on cam
holder) Fasten the socket head screws on the
adjustment cams until they are tight.

SYSTEM Page 29
Replacing Blade Sets

11. Push the exit guard down and replace the delivery assembly before operating the
machine.

12. Switch the machine on and test the crease for form.

If the pressure and the alignment of the crease is not to a satisfactory level,
see pages 27 and 28 to adjust the creasing line.

‘Spares’ kits
In the event of any damaged or lost components within the blade assembly, spares kits
are available on request. However, components within the blade set can not be ordered
separately i.e. single blade or anvil.

Digifold Trouble Shooting

Paper crease out of square


! Check that the sheets are all square and exactly the same size before loading the
stack on to the table.

! Check that the adjustable side lay has been correctly positioned ie. No further than
0.5mm from the paper stack.

! Check that the blade is a slide fit in the side plate slots, adjust if necessary, see
adjusting blade alignment.

Paper fold out of square


Note:- the best fold squareness is achieved when the fold is not on the center of the
crease, but to one side or the other.

! Check that the fold is to one side of the crease center line.

! Check that the roller gap is not too tight and squashing the crease.

! Check that the roller gap is not too large and allowing the paper to slide (especially
so on glossy paper).

! Check that the rollers are not worn on one end.

Paper jamming
! Check that the leading edge of the paper is not being damaged by the paper gate. If
this is occurring, check that the suction slot and the paper gate have been correctly
set.

! Check that the first crease / fold position is not too close to the leading edge of the
paper. A minimum distance of 40mm is recommended.

! If jamming is occurring in the out feed rollers, open up the roller gap. (See page 23)

Machine will not start


! Check the power supply to the machine.

! Check that the emergency stop button has been released.

! Check that the two top guards are down.

! Check that the delivery unit is fitted, and located correctly, (the machine will not start
if the delivery unit is not fitted).

! Check that the lower blade / anvil is connecting to the home switch (mounted below
the lower blade / anvil).

SYSTEM Page 31
Trouble Shooting

Paper not feeding


! Check that the paper stack is not too high or too heavy for the feeder. The height of
the paper stack should be defined by the weight and the size of the stock being
creased.

! Ensure that the adjustable side lay is not pressed against the paper stack. However,
if the clearance between the adjustable side lay and the paper stack is too great, the
air supply will escape instead of blowing through the paper thus making it difficult to
feed.

! Check that the clearance between the paper gate and the suction roller is not set too
low.

! On digital media, the feeding performance may be improved if the leading edge of
the stack is trimmed before loading onto the Digifold.

! Check that the air distribution has been correctly set.

! Check that the air separation has been set high enough to feed the sheets.

! For heavy stocks, very small or very large sheets, embossed or even irregular stock,
it may be necessary to feed the sheets manually - see page 25

Machine not counting


! Open the top and remove the blade set
(see pages 29-30) to access the dual
sensor post located in between the drive
rollers. Using a soft brush, clean the
visible sensor on the end of the post.
Use the brush to clean the sensors
between the post and the bottom paper
guide which are not visible.
Photograph (left) shows the dual sensor
post containing the sensors.

Cracking of the Printed Material along the Crease.


Cracking of the material along the crease may be caused by the following:-

! Pressure too heavy on the top blade - reduce pressure.

! Crease too narrow for heavy stock - change the blade to the standard blade set (part
number 76-213-01).

! Cracking on one edge caused by misalignment of the anvil and blade - realign blades
using cams at sides (see FIG 26.1 on page 29).

Page 32 CREASING / FOLDING


Digifold Trouble Shooting

Cracking of the Printed Material along the Crease. (continued)


! When using dry ink or toner based print engines, the material must be fully
acclimatised for at least 48 hours before putting an image onto the paper.

Paper marking or scratching.


! If the paper is marking or scratching set ‘F_cLr’ to ‘on’, as described below.
This function is used to withdraw the top fold blade from the nip position, when paper
is in the fold roller. This reduces the possibility of marking or scratching sensitive
paper. On certain folds, gate types for instance, ‘F_cLr’ should be set to ‘off’ because
the trailing edge of the paper will catch on the withdrawn blade.
IMPORTANT NOTE.
If F_cLr’ has been set to ‘on’, any subsequent change to the programme settings will
automatically return ‘F_cLr’ back to its default setting of ‘off’; and it must therefore be
set back to ‘on’ again.

Setting ‘F_cLr’ to the ‘on’ position.


1. Select the main display screen (see pages 11 and 13 to identify main display).
2. Set the Set Up switch to its Mid-position.
3. Turn the Setting Dial clockwise until the display reads ‘F_cLr’.
4. Flick the Set Up switch upwards to select ‘on’.

! If the rollers are marking the media, open the roller gap (see page 23).

No suction
! If the suction drum is not rotating, check all of the drive belts for cleanliness and splits
(including the bottom in-feed roller drive belt).

Display Window Reads

! ‘h’
If at any time during the creasing / folding process the display window reads ‘h’, it is
indicating that the lower blade / anvil has not made contact with the HOME switch.
i.e. Blade still in top position. Switch the machine off and remove the blade set,
ensure that the area is free from obstructions. Return the blade set to the creasing
unit and switch the machine on. Operate the machine in the normal sequence, if the
letter ’h’ continues to appear it is advised to contact a Service Engineer immediately.

SYSTEM Page 33
Trouble Shooting

! ’Crunch’ (Paper Jamming)


In the event of a paper jam occurring whilst the machine is operating the display
window will read ‘crunch”.
In order to remove the paper causing the jam:-
Push Button 1 and Push Button 2 can be used to manually operate the motor.
Push Button 1 will drive paper forward, in short pulses.
Push Button 2 will drive paper in reverse, in short pulses.
Push Button 4 will cycle the fold knives and drive the roller forward.
When pressed, the push button will activate the rollers for a short movement. For
continuous movement, press and release the push button repeatedly.
If the sheet remains jammed, check that the lower blade / anvil is not clamping the
sheet. If so, press Push Button 3 to lower the blade / anvil to release the jammed
sheet. When the paper jam has been removed, make sure the feed switch is off and
then press the Set Up switch up to clear ‘crunch’ from the display window.
Note .- As a safety device to overloading, the fold knives will be ejected from their drive /
location lugs.

To replace fold knives.- using two red handled allen keys (2.5mm as supplied)
align the holes in the blade drive gears (black lugged gears) with the brackets
attached to the mechanism side plates, each side. The gears may be turned by
hand. Insert the allen key through the slots in the top cover to lock the mechanism
and align the blade drive pins both sides with the lugs on the gears, with a small
amount of pressure on the rear face of the blade it will clip into position.

! ‘cLiP P’
If the Feed switch is turned off while a piece of paper is still feeding (but has not
reached the first fold roller), the machine will stop and the display window will read
‘cLiP P’. Use Push Buttons 1, 2, and 4 to remove the paper causing the jam; as
described above under the heading ‘crunch’. When the paper jam has been
removed, make sure that the Feed switch is off and then press the Set Up switch up
to clear ‘cLiP P’ from the display window.

! ’cLiP 1’
If the machine stops and the display window reads ‘cLiP 1’ this indicates that paper
has jammed in the rollers. Use Push Buttons 1, 2, and 4 to remove the paper
causing the jam; as described above under the heading ‘crunch’. If the jammed
paper can only be removed by inching the paper forward, the jammed paper will be
found on the underside of the delivery unit. When the paper jam has been removed
make sure that the Feed switch is off and then press the Set Up switch up to clear
‘cLiP 1’ from the display window.

! ’cLiP 2
If the machine stops and the display window reads ‘cLiP 2’ this indicates that paper
has jammed in the rollers. Use Push Buttons 1, 2, and 4 to remove the paper
causing the jam; as described above under the heading ‘crunch’. When the paper
jam has been removed, make sure that the Feed switch is off and then press the Set
Up switch up to clear ‘cLiP 2’ from the display window.
