Setting and running IG units through the Fixed Head Press.
Definitions:
Any needed definitions
Procedure:
- Home the press.
- Read the label of the first unit going through, set the press to the correct thickness, and put a visual indicator label for the unit's thickness at the front of the press.
- Run all units with the same thickness that the press is set to.
-
Read all labels prior to sending them through the press.
- If the press and unit thickness do not match, the unit will either break or not receive an adequate press.
-
If a unit is a different thickness than the press is set to, store the unit in the holding harp next to the press.
- This unit will be run when the press has been adjusted.
- Periodically, change the press size to clear out all units waiting in the holding harp.
- When making any adjustments to the press, ensure the correct visual indicator label for the unit’s thickness is placed at the front of the press.
