In the daily production on Komori series presses, blanket mounting is one of the most common issues faced by press operators and maintenance personnel. These Japanese machines are known for their stability, with mature H-UV drying and automatic registration systems, and even ink distribution across the inking unit. If not handled promptly, the problem can range from affecting registration accuracy and print quality to causing extended downtime in severe cases.
1. Fault symptoms: Uneven pressure after mounting, blanket wrinkling or coming loose, smudging at the plate edge, and difficulty in registering.
2. Cause analysis: Uneven blanket tensioning, mismatched underpacking, unsecured plate clamps, improper allowance settings, excessive packing thickness, and loss of elasticity due to blanket aging. Given that Komori Japanese presses are known for stability, mature H-UV drying and automatic registration systems, and even ink distribution, troubleshooting should prioritize checking key components and standard parameters.
3. Maintenance guide: Tension the blanket symmetrically in steps, select underpacking according to standards, lock the plate clamps and re-check registration, and replace aged blankets promptly.
4. Daily maintenance: Establish a blanket mounting standard, record underpacking configurations, and replace blankets at regular intervals.
The above methods also apply to models such as LS440, LS629, Lithrone, GL840, and G40. For actual operation, refer to the PQC Print Quality Control system / KMS console and on-site conditions. For complex situations, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance support through the printm.cn platform.
