Heidelberg Polar 115 Service Manual
Hi PDRINTUK This is not a repair program. This is maybe a collection of Heidelberg information’s. So, you think you can fix a 55 EM hydraulic with just a book. And you think you understand a Monitor-Servo-Drive without correct training course. The only thing you do is giving people hope. A cutter is a complex machine.
And everybody working with paper cutters has to do this under the national law. In other words - If you can not provide a training course for all this information’s (which would take month) you just try to get money from others. Handling stolen goods is as well not very nice! Why don’t help like a specialist would do? This would be like having character. Coulered paper.
I understand very well your position. And I do think, that you are somehow right. It is not my point to criticize second hand service. I know perfect people out there and the prices of big companies have to be higher than yours. But in the moment you give hope (the documentation) away, you transfer a high responsibility to the next person.
I case you change in the U.S. A safety cover you have already the responsibility for the whole (!) safety concept of the machine. How can you do this? You live in the UK.
Polar 115 Cutter Manual
There the law is not much different. It is not to judge. It is just to make you see the risk.
Coloured paper. There are also people who give hints and tips(good and bad) on all forums which still gives 'hope' to encourage printers to fix their own machinery which really is no different to having some proper info/documentation and doing the same thing.whether it be guillotine or press. That was my view on it mate.they will always take the risk if they can save themselves money/downtime and then call an expert. in the u'k the printers get the guillotines safety inspected twice a year but the inspector does not know if they are doing repairs inbetween inspections when the safety certificate is still valid.
Best regards,pdprint. Hey PDPRINTUK!
Do you have a manual for a Polar 92EM? We just acquired the cutter from another printer and no manuals came with it. Our bindery guy has assigned me the task of trying to hunt one down.
He'd like to know everything about it, all the way to proper lubricants recommended. There is also an immediate twitch he'd like to fix with the back gauge not being true.
It is consistently off about a 1/8' of an inch and once in awhile loses the numeric display (but a tap on the hand crank and running the back gauge through a cycle all the way back, it re-finds itself and starts working again. We would like to have a manual for this machine to make it complete again. Thanks for any help!
I'm pretty new to cutting and don't really know what to do when it comes down to maintenance. The cutter I use seems to be making a loud squeaking noise whenever the backgauge moves all the way from the back to the front. I'm thinking it's the backguage dragging on the bed that causes the loud rumbling noise. Is there any way to prevent it from happening? Any information on this or on any other maintenance that can be done on the polar 115cutter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, EnzoEsg.
If the backguage is dragging you should see scoring on the table. More than likely the drive screw needs to be lubricated. You can try spraying the table with WD40 and see if the squeaking stops. If it doesn't, the drive screw needs to be lubricated with a grease gun. The manual will tell you what grade and where the fittings are located.
Also, I recommend cleaning the table with a clean rag, then you can either wax it with a carnuba wax, or spray it with cutter table spray, it's similar to silicone spray. Waxing it lasts a little longer, and helps keep the table from rusting. WD-40 will work as a quick 'n dirty diagnostic aid, but will leave you with a clean up chore. Much better to use a cutter bed spray lubricant.
Varn's SlipAgent 6 is a good one. Or the carnuba wax or other quality car wax will work well. Depending on how old the unit is, there should be a semi automatic hand plunger type of heavy oil lubricator to use on a daily basis. In any case, no matter the age of the machine, and what the source of the noise turns out to be, the lead screw should be lubricated at least once daily. It is well worth having a qualified service tech come in to teach you the basic care and feeding of it.
Do you have the original instruction manual for that specific model? Try getting a photo copy of it by Gooogling for it. Get ready for a workout!! Al is right in getting someone in there to do some PM for you to make sure there is not something else going on. Does it not do this when the machine is cold or in early shift production and then as the day wears on it becomes and issue? If so, that is the metal warming up and your tolerances tightening.
So here is where the workout comes in. Get scotchbrite pads and clean the bed following the grain (front to back). 2016 cadillac srx service manual.
Scrub, scrub, scrub. Oh yeah, scrub some more. Wax is fine but food grad silicone will do the job also.
I clean, silicone, and then use Slide from time to time. Definitely make sure you are lubricating the screw. If you clean the bed correctly, your lifts of paper will move across the bed with the greatest of ease. HTH, John Weaver.
