Speaker: 00:00:14

Free webinars and meeting deadlines.

AICC technical advisors are here to answer all of your questions.

Speaker: 00:01:52

Recently todd ask ralph

Speaker: 00:01:54

Our company recently purchased an older dye cutter and no manuals

Speaker: 00:01:58

were supplied with the machine.

Speaker: 00:01:59

It's much like one of our other die cutters, but a few controls

Speaker: 00:02:03

and features are different.

Speaker: 00:02:04

In particular, the feeder has a feature.

Speaker: 00:02:06

We were told our skip feed and dual feed.

Speaker: 00:02:09

Do you know what they are and what they would be used for.

Speaker: 00:02:12

Ralph reached out to his friend, Dwayne trader of Schrader

Speaker: 00:02:15

studios for a little help.

Speaker: 00:02:16

And they replied.

Speaker: 00:02:18

Todd says older.

Speaker: 00:02:19

So I'll assume it's a gear-driven machine.

Speaker: 00:02:22

They have some limitations that many of the newer generation of

Speaker: 00:02:25

servo driven machines don't he also says he doesn't have manuals.

Speaker: 00:02:30

Let's quickly touch on that first.

Speaker: 00:02:33

For the safety of everyone, call the OEM and request a set

Speaker: 00:02:36

of manuals for the machine.

Speaker: 00:02:38

If the OEM is no longer in business.

Speaker: 00:02:40

Research and find out who might have bought the company and, or

Speaker: 00:02:44

the intellectual property rights.

Speaker: 00:02:46

Make sure you have your machine serial and model number in

Speaker: 00:02:49

hand when you make the call.

Speaker: 00:02:52

They go into a little more detail about the manuals and then they

Speaker: 00:02:55

move on to the feeder issue.

Speaker: 00:02:57

They explained that skip feed feeds one sheet for two rotations

Speaker: 00:03:01

of the print or die cylinder.

Speaker: 00:03:04

And dual feed feeds two sheets for each rotation of the print cylinder or Durham.

Speaker: 00:03:10

They then go on to discuss some of the challenges that might be face.

Speaker: 00:03:13

And what to watch out for.
