It's time for an update and I'm going to show you some of the maintenance things
I'm going to do to the workhorse javelin automatic press coming up welcome back
everybody I'm gonna show you some of the maintenance things that we're going to
do and kind of give you a general overview as to exactly how these
pneumatic machines work they're pretty simple when you really think about it
and I'm gonna show you why and some of the issues that we have to face with the
press that we do have but let's dive into it okay so here's head number one
one of the things that is an issue with this one is this stroke stop this a
little bit of a bump stop so to speak but this generally has a little bit of a
it has this same lever arm here that pinches down and as you can see here
they were using just a bolt to go through here and a piece of rubber so
this whole piece of this aluminum track will have to be replaced we got that on
order generally this is what it would look like to adjust your stroke link and
this little nylon kind of rubber bushing here it's not a bushing but there's a
little pivot head and then a little plastic cover that goes on it that way
it's not kind of marring up this little side rail
but you adjust this and then tighten it down but that will be what determines
how far your head goes back and there's some Springs in here some of these are
missing some of these Springs however we're gonna show you guys exactly what
we need to do to fix this step-by-step but before we dive into that there is
this little drain nut I need to take out because there's a
little bit of water in the system not that big of a deal it could cause issues
down the line if any of these cylinders do fell we'll replace them as need be so
what I'm going to do is take this 9/16 wrench and I'm going to pull this plug
underneath this automatic decided to grab this fast-food container here pull
those back out I didn't know that there was some water in the system these traps
here however it's not much of a big deal I'm gonna show you guys how we're gonna
get rid of all at least most of the water in the system this is how you
drain it all out while the water is finally finishing draining out of the
base the source of this press I'm going to come up here and I'm going to attach
a couple arms here are the couple pieces that I did have to pull from the press
this is to fit it within a doorway get into tight spaces we numbered it as we
did pull it from the press we got number four right there and then the complete
opposite side that's number eight so I'm gonna go ahead and test these real quick
now I'm going to take my torque wrench and then I'm going to tighten this dude
down until I feel like it's in a comfortable spec
okay so I would say about 65 foot pounds still it's pretty good let's do the rest
I'm gonna take care of head number for head number eight
now that I have arm number four and arm number eight completed assembled those
I'm going to start taking apart head number one I need to replace the stroke
cylinder along with every single one of the heads I'm gonna replace the squeegee
carriage rollers I think it's a squeegee carriage rollers forget what it's called
but I'll show you what I'm talking about ups just showed up and dropped off our
repair and maintenance parts for the automatic press so let's go ahead and
open these things up and see what I got alright here is the first box I already
think I know what this one is
here is one of the squeaky rail on the printhead number one I showed you guys
that The Strokes top was a little marred up so I thought it would just be best to
get a whole new rail and have hardware in here so that's good
here is box number two
these are the flashback reflectors had to get a couple of those what I
basically got was a kit for both of the flashbacks as they tend to get older the
reflectors that go for the quartz bulbs tend to get junk on them and a halt more
heat and cure your eat inside this tree so this essentially will keep that from
happening and here's there's two these reflectors
that go to each of the single bolts and then there's a double reflector so they
look pretty nice
a couple though
this looks like it's probably the stroke cylinder so here's the little cylinder
air blows into
one side and the other push this opens and closes the cylinder so to speak
let's see what else we got here oh yes Gerald made in China parks here
is the
main air regulator
here is our secondary filter let me see doesn't necessarily say but here is an
air filter we're going to replace that this part cost a a pretty penny so here
is the next box bag of assorted parts get this stuff out of the way if they
put everything it should be this is a stroke stop right here for this is the
little indexing block when it does come to a stop point this comes up and grabs
one of the bearings underneath the carousel I'll show you where that goes
alright how to install it looks like my other built in okay so this must be the
the secondary filter here got one of those here we have the
cylinders I ordered four of those got some additional knobs for the press and
replace the old ones out we'll hold on to them some of them bad smoke marks
still okay I've got a couple more squeegee pins they there's a couple of
them that were missing some more strokes top springs then we have our micro
registration caps couple the heads where we're missing these ended up getting
four flip switches snap action switch that's what it's called so I got four of
those for just general use some of them will be used for the flashback some
really just they're gonna hang around using installing as some of these
switches do tend to go out these this is the clevis part so basically there's a
cylinder that presses the squeegee down we're missing some pins on some of those
we're going to install those eclipse for each of the stroke cylinders not stroke
cylinders but the the flip cylinder that flipped the squeegees next up we have a
bunch of bolts four for each of the the squeegee carriages I'm going to replace
all the wheels there's a total of 48 of these there's four that go on each side
so each head requires a total of eight wheels are these little bolts that just
you can see those sitting in here in this bag I also got some little caps for
these nylon caps just to replace the ones that have worn out their little
nuts that go to the bolts and then these are the little I forget what they're
called exactly but I'll look that up but this goes to the slip cylinder as well
and then here are the caps that go on the opposite end of these levers which
is what pinches down onto certain parts of the breath
I think somebody must have had a bad day at work horse we're gonna call them up
have them send the parts that they did forget not a big deal
I'm also going to go through his notes and do any other maintenance that he has
