INSTALLATION 1. The SL-C Coder should be mounted so that the object to be printed contacts the die wheel with about 1/4 interference (see figure 1). NOTE: The SL-C Coder is presently set for left-hand mounting (see figure 6A.) 2. The mounting bracket assembly should be attached flush to the parent machine so the die wheel is parallel to the surface to be printed. When there are obstacles to mounting the SL-C Coder directly to the parent machine, secure the SL-C Coder mounting bracket to a slotted angle iron and then attach to the parent machine. 3. Light cases or objects not printed in the compressing section of a case sealer may require a support guide opposite the die wheel to keep cases or objects from shifting during the imprinting operation. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DiLok Type Changes Loosen die wheel nut (#16, Figure 1) at the top of the die wheel to release DiLok Rings for easy insertion or removal of type. After type change is complete, be sure type is seated on DiLok rings and securely tighten die wheel nut. 2. Flex Base Type Changes flex base type is secured in the type holder by pressing the tabs firmly into the specially designed channels. Pull old type out and install new type by starting one end into type holder and pressing firmly in and down on the other end until type is solid against bottom of type holder. 3. HS Type Specially designed type and type holder for high speed lines. The type ends are secured by a pair of locking channel type holders. To change type, loosen die wheel nut (#16, Figure 1) which will allow the channel to separate and thus remove or add type. 4. XLM, Didark, and Foam Ink Cartridge Replacement (see page 13) - Remove cartridge from ink roll shaft and install new or reinked cartridge on shaft. SL-C CODER 2
5. Orientation on object to be printed - a. DiLok type place type in location desired. b. FlexBase Type Loosen die wheel nut (#16, Figure 1) Rotate type holder and type to desired position. Then retighten die wheel nut. 6. Adjustment of inking cartridge against type (see figure 6) - The ink roller assembly is mounted on an adjustable springloaded bracket. Loosen wing nut, which locks adjustable thumb screw on bracket. Turn screw in or out, depending on adjustment required. When adjustment is correct, tighten wing nut. Light contact is all that is needed. 7. Adjustment for pressure against object to be imprinted (see figure 1) - To obtain more printing pressure, place spring in a hole position farther to the end of the return arm (#7). MAINTENANCE 1. To change type, cartridge, or for service, move the unit away from the carton flow. A quick and simple means is provided in the unit s design as follows (see figure 3). Grasp the Base Plate (#13) at the mounting end and lift upward away from the mounting bracket assembly (#3) until the collar (#4) is clear of the locating pin. Swivel the unit until clear of carton flow. The unit can now be serviced as needed. Return the unit to its original position with the locating pin reseated into the groove of the collar, The unit is now in its original print position. 2. The unit and type must be kept clean for good imprinting. 3. No hydrocarbon solvents should be permitted in contact with the rubber type or roller. To prevent damage to type or cartridges use only inks or cleaners recommended by Diagraph MSP. SL-C CODER 3
PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIONS PARTIAL IMPRESSIONS 1. Check the cartridge and type contact for complete inking. 2. Check cartridge for sufficient ink. 3. Check for worn, damaged, or improperly seated type. 4. Check SL-C Coder for sufficient pressure against object to be printed. 5. Check that die wheel imprint surface is parallel to surface being printed. 6. Make certain SL-C Coder is mounted rigidly. VERY HEAVY IMPRESSIONS 1. Check excessive pressure between ink roll and type face. 2. Check for over-inked system. LOCATION OF IMPRESSION WANDERS WITH RELATION TO OBJECT BEING PRINTED (See Figures 1 & 2) 1. Check for loose thumb screw on top of die wheel (#19). 2. Check for insufficient pressure between SL-C Coder and object to be printed. 3. Check that die wheel nut (#16) holding type holders is tight. 4. Check for loose hex nut (see Figure 2). 19 Direction Of Travel 16 13 7 Left-Hand Placement FIGURE 1 SL-C CODER 4
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING NEW DIE WHEEL AS- SEMBLY AND DIE WHEEL SHAFT AND ROTOR ASSEM- BLY (Figure 2) 1. Remove Hex Nut. 2. Loosen thumb screw approximately 1/4. Tap screw lightly to break die wheel loose from shaft. 3. Remove thumb screw and die wheel assembly (#19). 4. Remove nut and compression spring from Spring Return Assembly (#21). CAUTION: This nut is under slight spring tension and should be removed with a nut driver or socket wrench to prevent injury. 5. Remove shaft and rotor assembly (#20). 6. Install new shaft and rotor assembly. 7. Replace Hex Nut. 8. Replace compression spring and nut on Spring Return Assembly (#21). IMPORTANT! Use nut driver to replace nut since the spring must be compressed during installation. 9. Replace new die wheel assembly (#19). 10. Replace thumb screw. SL-C CODER 5
