Automatic Business Card Hot Stamping Machine

I Paper feeding methods

There are two ways for paper feeding as direct and retreating types.

i. Rotary knob is located on the back of its body. It can be pushed forwards 5mm by hand. Turn 90 degree in anti-clockwise then pull backwards, it will switch to retreating paper feeding method.

ii. If you want to switch to direct paper feeding, just push the knob forwards about 25mm by hand, then turn 90 degree in clockwise.

Business Card, name card or paper in 250 pounds below ordinary paper can use direct paper feeding. If the paper is too thick that can’t suck in, you can choose retreating paper feeding.

Note: when in retreating paper feeding, paper block device on paper collecting claw shall adjust to the thickness of a piece of paper. If the space is too small, the sucking won’t be smooth; while too large it will suck two pieces of paper.

Coining adjustment

There are one-side, four pressure plate corners and overall three coining adjustments.

One-side adjustment is used when one of the four angles on the back of pressure plate is imbalance. When make adjustment, you should firstly loosen the screw of pressure plate corners, then move the pressure plate corners. Moving up is light and moving down is heavy. Four pressure plate corners are the same. When the adjustment complete, return the pressure plate with hand pressing on the four corners. Check its balance, or it will lead to offset of layout.

Overall adjustment knob is used when the writing is unclear after printing which maybe because of light coining. Pull the knob downwards in clockwise is light coining. Pull upward in anti-clockwise is heavy coining.

power and operation

There are 110V and 220V two kinds of power supplies. Needed cooperated power marked on the sign right below. There is inch switch in addition.

Inch switch will stop the machine when paper feeding is over, or the first process absorber failed to send paper to the second absorber.

vii. Coat strong glue or glue on the back of zinc plate.

viii. Set the paper with zinc plate on the pressure plate beside Haley.

ix. Pull up the recoil up pole on the recoil position when the temperature is 70-150℃ in thermometer.

x. adjust the pressure adjustment knob to light state.

xi. Then there are two ways to recoil down:

A.    press inch knob

B.    Continuously turn to make electro-thermal aluminum recoil down until it touches the back of zinc plate. Stop for 10-20second when they are in touch.

xii. Then pull apart the paper and adhesive plaster by hand.

xiii. You try a piece of paper to check whether the elevation is in right place. If not, adjust the position of zinc plate immediately.

xiv. Set gold-leaf paper. Note that it’s in right side.

xv. Adjust the length of gold-leaf paper according to the size of gliding plate. Turn clockwise, the gold-leaf paper is longer, while anti-clockwise it’s shorter.

xvi. When the temperature reached target, the green light is on, and then you can test gliding effect.

IV. Simple trouble shooting

i. in general, it has printing unsmooth conditions as follows:

a. double feeding

a). check three tuyeres of the induced draft are parallel with paper or not.

b). whether in right elevation

c). whether the distance between tuyere and paper collecting claw is too big. The right distance please refers to the second detail step.

b. paper feeding block in the middle

a) Check suction of pump is enough or not.

b) The paper is too thick that direct paper feeding can’t feed in, you shall choose retreating paper feeding. The right usage please refers to the third step of machine detail.

c) Check whether the space between paper blocking device and left and right levers is too tight.

c. paper finishing unsmooth

a)check whether the layer is in right position. The right usage please refers to the forth step of machine detail.

b).check whether the baseboard of pressure plate repeats coining. If yes, coat talcum powder or change bottom paper.

d. the machine won’t stop automatically after paper delivery.

a). along the second aspiration channel to its bottom, there is a Bakelite. Check the stopcock on the Bakelite is lockout or not. If it was lockout, please take out and clean it. See figure 2.

ii. forced delivery, clip trouble shooting

In operation, clip lose function because chase or formed type is loose and fall off, hitting the head of clip or locking the clip, and then paper delivery stops.

Trouble shooting method:

Loosen two screws on the top head of clip, turn coining head to 45°angle, and then tighten the two screws in 3m/ml wrench. Then check whether up-and-down clip heads are closely touched when they turn to printing situation. Check the gear between up-and-down clip heads is loose, and whether the spring is loose or broken, whether the cam is blocking, if yes, the operation will be wrong and the machine needs readjustment. Check switch bearing 626ZZ is squeezing or cracked, whether the gear chain is loose, if yes, the machine needs readjustment.

Up clip head will deform with serious strike, and then need to change clip P09. When install and remove up and down clip heads, please pay attention to the degree of tightness of two holders, if too tight, the clip won’t move and dovetail.
