AUTOPLATINE SP
Introduction Productivity Three criteria are necessary for obtaining a good level of productivity with the AUTOPLATEN SP press: High level of production The production phase concerns the press operator, first and foremost. His job is to achieve the maximum production rate with a minimum number of stops. If there are stops, he has to determine their causes and remedy them quickly. Good flexibility Production flexibility is the ability to manufacture small batches easily. The best way of achieving this is to reduce the time needed to change jobs. To guarantee a good flexibility and a high production rate, the job change phase must be as short as possible so that the machine downtime is kept to a minimum. Assured quality Total quality is obtained when quantities are observed, delivery times are met, the packaging is appropriate and the product conforms.
High, steady production rate
Flexibility Productivity Quality
The quality of the converting tools and equipment is a determining factor in obtaining a high and constant rate of production, quick changeover between jobs and good quality conversion.

Converting tool standard In order to ensure compatibility of converting tools between AUTOPLATEN SP (compact) and SPO (corrugated) presses, BOBST has developed a new principle called the SP/ SPO Standard. It is based on the Centerline axis and the first rule.
Existing converting tools can be modified to become compatible with the Standard or, as the case may be, be placed in specific converting equipment to ensure their compatibility.

Adaptating the tools to standard This adaptation concerns existing blank separating upper tools with a front edge corresponding to the first rule P13. To make these tools compatible with the standard, a 20 mm thick compensating gib must be added to the front edge of the tool.
A Centerline block and fastening tie-bolts are necessary for the use of a pull-out frame with quick locking. Note In the context of the Continuous Improvement Programme, we suggest a PIP Retrofit for this adaptation. Contact your BOBST representative for more information.

Gripper margin Jobs with front waste The gripper margin G is the zone between the sheet front edge and the first cutting rule P. Never place cutting rules in this zone (except for jobs without front waste). The setting value of the gripper margin G varies according to the machine type (See Technical data). Jobs without front waste Only in this case can the longitudinal cutting rules be placed between the grippers right at the edge of the cutting die. Watch the gripper position ! (See Gripper position).

Position of the first cutting rule Standard gripper margin The first transversal cutting rule P13 (considered to be the reference) has to be positioned at a distance of at least 13 mm from the front edge of the cutting die Y. It must be respected in order to guarantee the maximum cutting size and to avoid damage to the grippers. The position P13 corresponds to the average width of the gripper margin when the sheet front edge is aligned with the edge of the cutting die Y. The sheet position in the grippers can be adjusted by the front lays. Position of the first rule on the cutting plate or on the thin plate Distance x indicates the position of the first cutting rule from the front edge of the cutting plate or the thin plate. Take this reference into account when creating counterparts which are engraved in the cutting plate or the thin plate.

Retracted position of the 1st cutting rule (example) The gripper margin has to be larger for certain jobs. In such a case, move back the layout in the cutting die by shifting the position of the first cutting rule P13. The difference between the theoretical position P13 and the retracted position of the first cutting rule P22 must be transferred to the stripping and blank separating tools (see next page).

Layout of the blanks It is advisable to distribute the blanks on the layout first in running direction 1 and then in transversal direction 2 in order to use cutting force best. This method enables to reduce the number or even suppress the compensating rules (loss of cutting force).

Numbering of blanks and waste Numbering blanks and waste helps finding rapidly a position in the makeready process or when adding nicks. The corresponding numbers have to be printed on the sheets, on the layout and on the makeready sheet. Number the blanks first and continue with the waste starting front left of the layout and terminate rear right. Respect the order of the numbering.

Rules for easier stripping

Sharp corners Sharp corners should be replaced with rounded ones where possible. This makes it possible to avoid angular joins which often lead to unwanted nicks. Small size waste To facilitate stripping of small waste, the blank can be modified to obtain conically shaped waste; the waste width can also be increased over part of its length.
Design and layout

40
AUTOPLATINE SP
Narrow waste Avoid narrow waste pieces wherever possible as they are difficult to strip. Their width should not be less than 5 mm.
If the blank shape so allows, it is advisable to replace narrow waste by a single cut. For easier waste stripping, in some cases the shape of the blank can be modified so as to obtain a narrow piece of waste attached to a wider piece.

When a narrow piece of waste with a length a greater than 50 mm is attached to the front waste, an additional rule should be fitted approx. 5 to 10 mm from the first rule. This will make the job of the front waste separator easier as the shaded part of the waste will have been removed in the stripping station.

Joining a slanting rule to a straight one Round off the end of the slanting rule in order to obtain a rightangled join. Compared to a slanted join, a right-angled join is easier to adjust and also more rigid.
Joining a rounded angle to a straight line The tangent connection of a radius on a straight cutting rule is practically impossible to achieve. We recommend centering the circle of radius r at a distance a smaller than the value of r. The value a should correspond to approx. 0.8 r. A creasing rule b can be positioned in support of the cutting rule to avoid leaving a natural nick.

Rules to facilitate folding / gluing

Clearing the slots Folding and gluing is made easier when the slots are well cleared and when they project slightly beyond the creasing lines. Tucking in glue flaps on a folder-gluer A sharp angle can cause problems when it comes to tucking in. A radius allows a correct tuck-in but once the box has been folded by 180, there is a risk of the box untucking itself again. The solution shown below will prevent this problem.

Compensation to balance out the load Importance of load balance of the platen press When the load is unbalanced, the rules at the back of the die are subject to a greater load and tend to wear more quickly. If so, the time spent on the makeready will be greater and the rules will have to be replaced more frequently. The quality of the converted product will suffer and substantial damage could be caused to the press. Rule to apply If the length of the blank in running direction is less than the machine size, compensating rules are recommended. They must be fitted directly on the cutting die using rubber of the same quality as the one used for the cutting rules. The compensating rules must be replaced each time there is a complete change of cutting rules.

Cutting rule with double centered bevels
Faceted cutting rules To correctly cut sheets with a thickness of more than 1.5 mm, we recommend the use of faceted cutting rules. Compared with double centered bevel rules, they have a narrower cutting angle, which reduces the corner effect and helps them penetrate the board.

To join two rules at a right angle, a joined mitre has to be made on one of the two rules. This mitre will allow the rules to be adjusted so that the cutting edges fit each other perfectly. The shape of the mitre should correspond to the profile of the rule. Note: With this solution there is a risk that the mitre might break.

Bridges For straight cuts, leave a bridge approximately every 100 to 150 mm. If possible, avoid placing bridges in curved sections. If, however, they are necessary, place them every 80 to 100 mm. Do not make bridges where rules intersect, as this diminishes the strength of the joins. Dimension of notches Height a of the notches should be 0.5 mm higher than the thickness of the wooden board in order to take account of the thickness variations in the wood. This allows you to see the position of the bridges when you make the notches for the nicks. Length b of the bridges is generally 5 mm to 8 mm.

Height of the creasing rules with prefabricated creasing counterparts When using prefabricated (unitary) or plastic (CHANNEL, CITO-type, etc.) counterparts, take into account the thickness at the bottom of the groove a. Usually, the closest low creasing rule height h is chosen. Note: For microflutes measure first the thickness of the crushed flute, then the same formula is applied.

Prefabricated creasing counterparts Width of creasing grooves Each groove must be centered in relation to the creasing rule. Due to the varying reactions of the board, ideal creasing conditions may not be attained solely by application of the following rules. Nevertheless, the width of the grooves is generally defined like this: Grooves perpendicular to the sheet fibers The width of groove b is equal to 1.5 times the thickness of the sheet e plus the thickness of the creasing rule f. For corrugated board, use twice the thickness of the board creased e plus the thickness of the creasing rule f.
b = (1,5 . e) + f
Grooves parallel to the sheet fibers The groove is therefore narrower when it follows the fibers. In practice, it is usually accepted that grooves running parallel with the fibers are 0.1 mm narrower than those running across the fibers.

Simultaneous embossing and cutting For some jobs, simultaneous embossing and diecutting is possible. The time for putting into operation is usually longer, however, as the necessary adjustments are numerous and delicate. Position of the plates Respect a minimum distance of 5 mm between the embossing plates and the cutting or creasing rules. The plates must be fitted with an adjusting system to synchronize them with the printing operation. Dimensions The thickness of counterparts d should not normally exceed 0.7 to 1 mm. The total height of assembly a + b + e + d must be equal to the height of cutting rules H. The formula to determine height a of the aluminium block is obtained as follows:

Dimensions of notches for nicks Width a of the notches, in general 0.1 to 0.2 mm larger than thickness e of the sheet, is given as a guide. It will depend on the position of the nicks (blank transport, waste, etc.) and the characteristics of the sheet of board (direction of the fibers, type, quality, humidity content). Depth b of the notches depends on thickness e of the board.
The nicks can be enlarged by using special piercers which are delivered by the Bobst SA. This operation has to be carried out with the utmost care in order not to fold or damage the rules. Gradually increase the size of the nick by changing the type of piercer.

However, the following rules must be respected: Attaching the blanks to the front waste 1 Make the nicks according to the layout. Connection between blanks 2 Make nicks connecting each blank to its neighbour in the running direction. Align them on the axis of the nicks connecting the blanks to the front waste. 3 Make several nicks between the blanks in crosswise direction.

Inside waste In principle, nicks should be made at the front of all inside waste. Make one or two nicks, according to the size of the waste, at the extremities of glue flaps. This ensures that glue track c does not coincide with the nick.
For large, long, narrow waste, make one nick on each side of the waste. For small, long, narrow waste, make one small nick at the front of the waste.

Rubber We recommend rubbers of different section and hardness according to their position: 1 Solid section rubber of 70 Shore near nicks. 2 Foam rubber of 35 to 40 Shore at other cutting rules. 3 Solid rubber of 70 Shore in slots.
AUTOPLATINE SP
Distance between rules and rubber For solid, non-profiled rubber of 70 Shore, leave a 2 mm space between the cutting rule and the rubber. If solid section rubber leaves marks on the blanks, use foam rubber of 35 to 40 Shore more than 7 mm wide.
If the rubber is placed in contact with the cutting rules, its compression generates opposing forces which tend to push the blanks apart and break the nicks.

Wear of cutting rules Excessive cutting force causes accelerated wear on the cutting rules and has undesirable effects on productivity and the quality of the product. The rules are prematurely blunted, generating waste fibres and necessitating larger nicks. Unevenness of cut can be compensated using a makeready sheet.

Cutting force Setting the cutting force is very important not only for the quality of the converting but also for the machines productivity and the service life of the cutting die. The cutting force should be high enough to cut the board correctly but also as low as possible not to damage the cutting rules.

Makeready sheet A makeready sheet is a sheet of paper bearing the layout of the cutting die. It is specific to one job and one machine and must be used systematically with its corresponding cutting die. To do so, it is recommended to identify the machine on the makeready sheet. The makeready consists in pasting strips of paper on to the sheet in the places where weaknesses of cut are apparent in order to obtain uniform cutting quality without a significant increase in cutting force. m Reduced wear of cutting rules m Accuracy and evenness of cutting A new makeready sheet must be made whenever any cutting rules or the converting equipment (cutting plate, thin plate, supporting plate, chase bottom plate, etc...) are replaced.

Dimensions The dimensions of the makeready sheet must correspond to the dimensions of the wooden board of the cutting die, including the compensating rules. Note: Fig. 1 and 2. In order to facilitate the register of the makeready sheet on the chase, it is recommended to continue the line of the 1st rule and the Centerline axis until the sheet edge. Thickness Use a 0.1 mm thick paper with a tolerance that does not exceed 0.01 mm. Quality The paper used for the makeready sheet should have the following properties: incompressibility, resistance to humidity, dimensional stability and evenness of thickness. We strongly recommend the special papers for offset printers (calibrated papers) and plasticized papers. Imprint Fig. 3. If a converting tool is not designed with CAD, the outline of the cutting die can be reproduced on the makeready sheet using carbon paper on EASYPRESS or directly on the machine.

The makeready 1. Increase the cutting force until some cutting rules go through the sheet. 2. Proceed to the zone makeready until 80% of the entire length of the cutting rules go through the sheet. 3. Proceed to the local makeready. Zone makeready If a zone is imperfectly cutted, proceed first with the zone makeready M1. From a sheet of paper 0.02 to 0.03 mm thick, cut out a piece corresponding to the imperfectly cut zone and use a glue stick to stick it to the back of the makeready sheet M. If a zone of imperfect cut persists, prepare a second zone makeready M2, smaller than the first, and fix it inside the latter. The zone makeready must never transform a correctly cut zone into an imperfectly cut zone. If this happens, make the zone again, using thinner paper.

Inner openings Inner openings must be slightly larger than the waste. Leave a gap of 1.5 mm on either side of the waste (paper 0.5 mm). In dynamic stripping the openings have on some places narrower parts to keep the waste well flat and to avoid any pivoting during stripping.
If support irons are used, take their thickness into account in order to size the openings.

Operating mode The upper stripping frame is designed for two different operating modes. The first solution consists of mounting profiled bars to the pull-out frame to fasten the strippers and pressing devices. These tools (supplied with the press) have to be placed according to the waste to be stripped. This method is particularly well suited for simple non-repetitive jobs.
The second solution consists of making a wooden tool to which the stripping tools are fastened. The tool is then fastened underneath the upper pull-out frame using the profiled bars or introduced directly into the machine if a pull-out frame with quick locking is used. Once the job is completed, the tool is stored to be re-used as required. This method has the advantage of considerably reducing the time needed to start up repetitive jobs.

Anti-vacuum apertures It is important to provide large openings in the wooden panel to prevent a vacuum phenomenon when the stripping frames move. However, take care not to weaken the solidity of the die. For large strippers, also make holes to allow the free passage of air.
With a quick locking pull-out frame, the openings must not on any account be located in the fitting zones of the fixing tie-bolts. See on the following pages the possible zones for creating openings in the wooden panel according to the Autoplaten press type.

Stripper types Many materials can be used as stripper tools. The overall height (board + tools) must be 50 mm. The polyester foam pressing devices must be 2 mm higher than the strippers. It is essential that the cylindrical pins have a collar to prevent them from being pressed into the wood. For certain wastes, rules with corrugations on the section can be used to increase their contact surface with the waste.
Dynamic stripping The inner waste is forced by pointed strippers mounted on the upper stripping tool through the central stripping board whose openings in some places are smaller than the waste to be stripped. This system enables to reduce or suppress the number of lower pins.

Lower stripping pull-out frame The lower stripping equipment contains profiled bars to which telescopic pins are mounted. As the length of the bars is adjustable, they can be used for all the combinations required by the size and the location of the waste to be stripped.
These bars must be placed in such a way that they do not obstruct waste fall. In case of difficulty, add strips of cardboard or plastic to guide waste fall laterally.

126
AUTOPLATINE SP
Positioning of the telescopic pins As a general rule, a single telescopic pin per waste is sufficient, even when several upper strippers are spread out over the waste surface.
Best position for the telescopic pins is the front of the waste piece and where the nicks are located.

The T.O.P concept The level of productivity depends on the following factors:
T.O.P.
Technique Organization
People
Technique The productivity of the AUTOPLATEN press is undeniably linked to the technical characteristics of the machine. The most important of these are: m Machine configuration (equipment, improvements, peripherals, etc.) m Operating conditions of the machine m Quality of the converting tools m Available handling resources m Flow processing equipment
Organization The organization of the machine environment has a direct effect on its productivity. A number of different points are involved, the most important of which are the following: m Location of the machines and links with the different sectors of the enterprise m Job planning and follow-up m Management of converting tools m Cleanliness and organization of the workplace m Working and inspection procedures m Maintenance schedule and policy People Finally, it is self-evident that staff with a profile appropriate to the work play a crucial role in the optimum utilization of the AUTOPLATEN press. The essential characteristics that operators must possess are: m Skill, knowledge and experience m Behaviour and motivation m The will to progress

Equipment flow Sheet supply The machine has to be continuously supplied to prevent any production stoppages due to a lack of sheets. Keeping a permanent stock of sheets will ensure uninterrupted supply to the machine. For IIIB format machines, BOBST offers systems for automatic introduction of piles into the feeder. Evacuation of converted sheets Whatever the type of delivery at the output from the machine, it is important to ensure regular removal of the piles of diecut sheets. This will avoid production stoppages caused by accumulation of piles at the output. Waste removal A good system of waste removal is absolutely essential if the production rate of a converting machine is not to be limited. This system must be generously dimensioned so that it can cope with the stripped waste, front waste and whole blanks of one or several AUTOPLATEN die cutting presses operating at maximum capacity. Note: In view of the diversity and complexity of these systems, we recommend you to have recourse to a company specialized in the creation of this type of installation!
Productivity

AUTOPLATINE SP
Job planning and follow-up Good job planning and follow-up are essential factors to reach a high production level. Follow-up does not concern only the production managers and operators of the machines, but also all those who have any connection with the manufacturing process (die makers, preparers, etc.). Computer-assisted planning Computerized tools for production planning and management have become indispensable to companies wishing to control their production. Their objective is: m Reducing stocks and work in progress m Meet delivery times m Monitor and establish production statistics (stoppages, waste, etc.) m Check and manage converting tools m Make better use of the companys resources and potential
Machine allocation Machines are of course allocated to an order in accordance with their availability and the order deadline. Certain parameters with an indirect influence on the machines productivity also have to be taken into account: m Using the same machine for the same order (no need to remake a makeready sheet and possibility of reusing the setting data) m Run duration according the machines equipment (short runs should be allocated to machines with equipment adapted to quick job changes) m Working format of machine appropriate to format of job (avoids conversion problems linked to balancing of the load)
Productivity
148
AUTOPLATINE SP
Job sheet The operator of the AUTOPLATEN diecutting press fills out a job sheet when an order is first executed. He then stores and files the sheet near the machine or attaches it to the tools at the end of the job.
The sheet contains all the various setting values for the job as well as any other information likely to save time once the next job is set up.
See model page in chapter Various information" Productivity

149
AUTOPLATINE SP
Organization of the work place Cleanliness of the machine An operator will take more care and get more pleasure from working with a well-maintained machine. Keeping the machine clean will reduce the number of stoppages (photocell faults, fouled suction cups, etc.) and improve the quality of the product converted.
Productivity
150
AUTOPLATINE SP
Operator equipment In order to reduce job change and machine start-up times to a minimum, the operator should have equipment appropriate to his type of machine at his disposal at all times. A tool box containing the basic tool kit is supplied with the machine. Provide also additional material.
Nuts and bolts
Nylon hammer
File
Measure tape
Scissors
Spatula
Goggles
Nick grinder

Hand grinder
Cleaning agents
Rubber blocks and stripping foam
Do not hesitate to replace any worn tools at once.
Rubber glue
Adhesive tape

Productivity
151
AUTOPLATINE SP
Work table A work surface of sufficient size and adequately illuminated must be provided so that the operator can carry out his work, quality control, etc. properly. Storage unit To avoid waste of time spent looking for equipment, provide a small storage rack on the platform or beside the machine. It should provide space for job and tool order sheets, the operators equipment, the technical documentation and a few personal effects.
Makeready sheet storage rack The makeready sheet is specific to a job on a particular machine. It takes up little storage space, and if possible should be stored in a special rack (the sheets rolled up or hanging). If the makeready sheet is stored with the converting tools, however, an effective system of protection for its storage and transport must be chosen.

Productivity
152
AUTOPLATINE SP
Maintenance In a context of production with reduced stocks and work in progress, maintenance takes on considerable importance. It should not be forgotten that the aim of just in time is the systematic fight against waste, of which stocks and work in progress form a part. A machine that breaks down can then stop an entire production line if buffer stocks have not been provided to ensure supply to the next stage of production. Types of maintenance There are several types of maintenance, the most common types being: m Preventive maintenance (active maintenance) m Reactive maintenance (troubleshooting) Preventive maintenance A modern maintenance system gives preference to preventive maintenance in order to reduce troubleshooting operations. It is carried out outside production hours and only shuts down the machines for a short time. Lack of preventive maintenance results in production stoppages, troubleshooting and prolonged machine stoppages. It is therefore important to observe the operation instructions and intervals described in the maintenance manuals supplied with the machine.
BOBST is proposing maintenance contracts. For further information please contact your representative.
Productivity
153
AUTOPLATINE SP
Reactive maintenance Since preventive maintenance reduces the number of breakdowns, it becomes easier to clear them efficiently. If a breakdown occurs, reaction must be rapid to limit machine downtime. This is the responsibility of the maintenance team or, in the case of complex or major breakdowns, BOBST technicians. Spare part stocks A minimum of spare parts should be kept on hand in the factory for quick replacement of wearing parts (brushes, rollers, suction cups, etc.) or damaged parts.
Original spares By ordering your spares through the BOBST organization, you gain the following advantages: m Services: our technical advisers will analyse your orders according to your machine file and will propose you advantageous options. m Availability: 90% of parts ordered are available immediately. m Quality: all our spares respect the original characteristics of the parts and are guaranteed for 1 year. m Speed: urgent orders recorded before 4 p.m. can be despatched the same day.

Retrofit PIP The Retrofit PIP programme enables customers possessing machines of former design to benefit from the technical development of BOBST products. The advantage of this programme is the opportunity it provides to select improvements adapted to needs. For short runs, choose equipment which reduces the job change time. For long jobs, equipment which increases the speed and performance of the machine should be favoured.
Example: Supporting plate with adjustable centernig pieces The primary objective of this product is to reduce the job change time. Its chief advantages are: m Quick registering correction between the counterparts and the cutting die m Correction possible in both directions ( 0.9 mm with 0.02 mm precision) m Higher creasing quality
