Cleaning the Forcer and Platen
Prior to placing the Forcer on the Platen both surfaces must be cleaned.
Use this method:
1. Apply masking tape to lamination surface of the Forcer. Removing the tape
removes large particle contaminants.
2. Using alcohol, clean both surfaces to remove any adhesive residue and any
other contaminants on the Forcer and the Platen.
Note: Apply small amount of alcohol to cloth for cleaning. Never pour or drip alcohol
or other chemicals onto the forcer or platen surfaces.
3. Wax and polish Platen and Forcer surfaces. ( Turtle Wax ). Remove any visible
residue.
Cleaning the Air Bearings Required if the forcer is not lifting between 0.0005″ – 0.001″ ( i.e. rubbing on the Platen ).
1. Using a small screw driver, unscrew one air bearing.
2. Blow compressed air through the bearing in both directions.
3. Screw the air bearing back to its original position.
Note: Do not mix the air bearings, they have to be installed at their original position.
Installation: Mounting the Forcer on the Platen
1. Before placing the forcer on the platen be sure there is at least 60 psi of
regulated and filtered air flowing through the forcer.
2. At one end of the platen, carefully slide the Forcer onto the Platen.
(BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL ).
Removing the Forcer from the Platen
1. Before moving the forcer, be sure there is at least 60 psi of regulated and
filtered air flowing through the forcer.
2. Carefully slide the Forcer to one end of the Platen and remove it.
(Be Extremely Careful).
Maintenance Waxing of the Forcer lamination for corrosion protection is recommended every month (or
sooner) depending on environmental conditions (i.e. humidity and moisture).
Operation Considerations The motor must always be operated within the specified operating parameter limits.
Exceeding those limits will permanently damage the motor.
The forcer must never touch the platen during operation. Equal horizontal and vertical air
gap must be maintained.
The following steps must be completed to ensure safe and proper operation.
1. Verify that all electrical wiring and cables are properly connected. Refer to the
manual provided with the control for this information.
2. Adjust the stepper driver current to match the motor’s current specification.
3. Strain relieve the wires prior to operating.
