Print versionMechanical registration lock-ups incorporate a special tool to assist in installation and removal of plates from the press cylinders. Torsion spring bars as well as spring clips positively lock both the head and tail of the plate in proper registration while providing the holding strength during the press run. The CML Double Acting Lock allows the plate cylinder to reverse. The CML Double Acting Lock is designed for presses with a slot gap of 13.48 mm (.531”). It also requires a mechanical tool assist for plate installations.
Key Benefits:
- A high-profile register pin aids in quick and accurate plate installations
- Heavy-duty torsion springs provide strong positive plate locking with proper registration
- Air hose and periodic light lubrication is the only maintenance required
- Reduced angle ends aid in preventing marking due to stress bends
- False lead edge can be set high or low on the press registration
- The lock is web adjustable without drilling and tapping, resulting in faster and easier web reductions
- This lock is capable of meeting any web width. Custom sizes and multiple web widths available
Typical Press Application:
Goss Headliner, Goss Visa and TKS presses
Plate Up Procedure:
The plate is installed between the spring clip and lead edge of the cylinder. The press is jogged to the next plate up position. The cocking tool is then used to open the pin bar, which the trail edge bend of the plate mounts over. The cocking tool is removed from the pin bar allowing the torsional springs to apply the correct tension to the plate.
