    We have Heidelberg SM 74-5P and the Cam Follower on unit 1 (front gripper)is out of place. The grippers are failing to open to allow paper go through. Please assist on how to go about resolving this.

    Best regards,

    You are talking about the transfer gripper or swing gripper, correct?

    SM74 has 2 different cam follower styles for the transfer gripper. One is spring loaded and one is not. There is a different method used to replace each one. In either case it not so easy. This may be something you want Heidelberg or some qualified technician doing. Can you tell me which version you have?

    What do you mean by The cam follower?
    And what are you talking about the opening bearings of the grippers?
