    Select if you want the scoring and side gluing end stops to calibrate automatically(recommended for producing single copies). If you whish to bind larger series of the sameformat, it is recommended to run the machine in manu mode. Set the according side gluingand scoring value names. When running in auto mode, the cover is loaded on the nippingstation once the side gluing and scoring end stops moved to the appropriate position.

    4.6. Setting the cover feeder

    Position the cover stock against the cover end stop finger once it moved to theappropriate position. Make sure the rear side of the cover stock is properly positioned againstthe cover stock end stops in front of the blower. (see following page) Position theloadstones and the side guides against the cover stock to ensure the covers areaccurately transferred. Adjust the position of the suckers to the width of the cover stock.(eventually enable 3 or 5 suckers by turning the according switch see picture on followingpage) Never position the suckers in front of the cover forwarding wheels though, asthis would obstruct the movement of the cover forwarding bar.

    The cover end stop finger must form an angle of 90 towards the cover stock endstops. Ensure this is the case by transferring a cover on the nipping station: Switch on thecover feeder by selecting in the main menu then activate twice the key. The scoringlines must run parallel to the the border of the cover. If they dont fine tune the position of thecover stack by turning the setscrews. (see on following picture)

If the glue layer is too thin, the set side gluing valuename needs to be increased. If, on the other hand, there is glue on the spine but the book blockis compressed and the front sheet is crumpled, the set side gluing value name must bedecreased.

    11. Inertia compensation

    A recap of these parameters is featured with every machine. By compensating the inertia, thebinder displaces its braking ramp by the set value. This allows the binder to calibrate asclosely as possible to the set end stop position. The inertia compensation is only required forthe nipping and feeder end stops. The side gluing and scoring end stops are driven bybrushless motors which operate with a precision to 1/100th of a mm.

    If for example the target position of the nipping end stop is 210 mm and the according valuename shown on the screen is of 210.3 mm, the inertia must be corrected by 0.3mm (The valuename to be set is 210.3 0,3= 210 mm) Check the settings are correct and fine tune ifnecessary.

    11.1. Clamp inertia

    The clamp transfer inertia parameters vary according to the set clamp speed. Theseparameters can be set to ensure the clamp always stops at the correct position when reachingthe nipping station. (The clamp inertia parameters can be set for low and medium clamp speedonly, the high clamp speed being the original factory setting.)

    11.2 Compensating the glue application inertia

    The distance photocell to nozzle and the glue application inertia values vary according to theset clamp speed. In order to achieve an accurate glue cut off at the end of the spine, the glue issucked back into the nozzle once the end of the bypassing book block approaches. The timingat which the glue suction shall occur can be adjusted. (=Glue Application Inertia)

    The exact distance between the photocell and the nozzle is being determined throughapproximation. In a first place, set the glue stop to zero (see chapter 4.15), then measurethe distance between the photocell and the nozzle. Set a value name which is actuallybigger than the distance you actually determined. (for instance distance photocell to nozzle +20 mm)

    Prepare several bookblocks with identical spine length. Set a value name in the glueapplication length menu box which is inferior to the actual spine length. (for instancebookspine length 40 mm). This ensures the glue is only being applied on the spine. (seealso chapter 4.15)

Repeat the operationwith the various clamp speeds. Measure the glue application length on the spine and comparewith the value name shown on the screen.
