Trims are jamming into Big8 trim guides / trims are flying anywhere
Possible solutions:
- Measure the cutting tolerances of at least one complete sheet:
Is the diameter within tolerance ?
Is the height within tolerance ?
Is the angularity within tolerance ?
- Are there any burrs on diameter / height cut ? If yes, sharpen and reset the knifes first. Adjust the clearance between the knifes acc. manual.
- Are the width of both trims correct (min. 2mm) ?
- Measure the overlap of all Big8 knifes with the respective gauge:
Target is 0.13 – 0.15 mm
- Make sure that the corners of the stripes are not damaged (before entering into the Big8 unit)
- Check the side centering system before 2nd operation: Is it correctly set ?
- Remove the trim guides, check them for any damages, and re-install them again:
The gap between guide and top knife shall be around 0.2 mm.
- Make sure all transport rings are in good condition and correct positioned.
- Check the drive system of the Big8 unit:
Is there any damage on the drive system and is the timing belt well tensioned ?
- Check the upper rubber / lower steel roller system after the Big8 (no direct impact):
Is there any damage ? Is the gap between both rollers correctly set ?
