Getting ready to tack weld the center section up

 

Sounds like more fun than maintaining ink keys.

Someone's gotta do it.

 

Mine are similar, other than I have 16 per unit and the fucking servo motors are the most finicky pieces of shit ever invented.
If I replace the ink key unit instead of just the motor, they are about $1k each. My press has 64 of them.

 

This komori has been great as far as motors lasting...The boards are sealed under a rubber coating and well protected.

The mitsubishi goes through motors and boards quite regularly but some of that has to do with poor wash ups and lack of maint.

 

Mine are sealed and well protected, the. motors are simply too weak. Everything else on the press is overbuilt, Heidelberg ain't got nothing over this unit, but they should have specced a better motor.

 

This ftn I'm working on has been giving me issues getting full range out of the keys.
As I'm putting them back in, I see whoever was in here previously did a big no-no and put them back in out of order.

After all the years of them being that way. Now I wonder do I leave it or put them back in the right order, because they might now be worn differently.

I'm thinking the right order.
The ftn is already giving me grief.
What's the worse that can happen?
I have to take apart. oh no.

 

Ooof, that was a big no no!
Some people should not be allowed near precision equipment!

 

I use a generous amount of White Lithium.

Today is National Quitter's Day.
The experts figure that by the second Friday in January most people have given up on their New Years resolution.

There, I learned something new today. Also.
I just realized that this week has been my first full 5 day work week since last July.

 

Try not to strain yourself with that extra work!

 

That's what my apprentice is for.

 

It's starting to look like a bumper.

 

I...I envision shark teeth.
