GERSON CLICKER PRESS MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In order to preserve the working life and efficiency of the clicker press machine, certain regular maintenance operations must be carried out as follows:(The following Fig.1 and Fig.2 is Gerson machinery GR clicker press model)
The cutting block (Fig. 1) must be turned upside down every six working days to provide uniform wear. When a hollow of approximately 2 mm is formed, the block must be planed flat.
The aluminium plate (Fig. 1) attached to the arm must be rotated 180o at least every two months of machine work life, to make wear as uniform as possible and to maintain the plate reasonably flat.
During die cutting operations, dust is formed by the cut material. This dust deposits on the seal ring (Fig. 1) of the column. With time, this dust forms a sponge effect, absorbing the oil on the column, depositing a coat of oil on the seal ring similar to an oil leak. The area around the ring must be cleaned once a month.
Dust left on the hands has a tendency to accumulate in the cutting action control button (Fig. 2). In spite of their self-cleaning action, these buttons can block if left for long periods, with the danger of blocking the machine action. To clean the inside of the button, press a piece of adhesive tapeonto the button, pull the command rod upwards so that the dust can be cleaned (better still if a strong air blast with compressed air is used).
Dust and small cut material waste penetrate in the air vents to the motor and under the base of the clicking press at floor level (Fig. 2) where they deposit blocking the motor overheating and burning. At least every six months clean inside the motor area carefully, after removing the front protection shield.
