Symptom: During the punch operation, the Idler Roller on the Paper Guide Energy NIP Assembly may not rotate. Cause: The purpose of having the Idler Rollers rotate during a punch operation is to keep the paper straight and deliver the paper to the Back- Gauge Assembly in time to be punched at the correct position. Insufficient pressure of the Idler Rollers can cause Skew/Shallow punches to occur. Field Remedy: Refer to technical Publication TP011 178a.

Professional Puncher – A1/B1/C1 Inline Die Wear Guideline.

Symptom: All punch Dies will wear over time based on number of punch cycles, media punched and maintenance schedule followed. This document should provide some guidance for symptoms of a worn Die that may need to be replaced. Cause: There is no hard and fast rule about when a Die should be replaced, but there are certain guidelines which can be used to help the end user judge when a Die is near the end of its useful life. As a general rule, the interchangeable Dies have a recommended life of about 500,000 punch cycles when properly maintained and when punching mostly 75gsm (20# Bond) stock. If Dies are not consistently lubricated or if heavier stocks are consistently punched, the Die life could be less. Field Remedy: Refer to technical Publication TP012 199.

Professional Puncher – A1/B1/C1 High Durability Die Set.

Detail: Following the release of High Durability Die Set, this technical publication describes the differences in servicing from the existing standard Die Set.
