    Hello. My name is Agustín, I am writing to you from Argentina.

    The problem I have is that when I put APC to change the plate. And I go to body 4 and press the button ready and APC, It enables me to make the change in body 3. And so on with the other bodies. Unfortunately, in Argentina there is no one suitable who can solve it for me. I thank in advance whoever can give me a hand.

    Hi Leograf;

    Normally this happen with the software is Corrupted.

    You can try to Reinstall again.

    Thanks for your quick response. He couldn't tell me where I could get the software or buy it. On the other hand I bought the cable to connect the plc to the computer, but I don't know what program I should use, if you could give me a hand I would appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance

    Thank you very much. There I wrote to the address that you gave me, I hope they can give me a solution. Too bad he's not in Argentina to be able to solve this problem for me.

    I don't think it is a software issue if everything works as it should, maybe when they installed the press, put data cable in wrong slot, you just need to switch them back

    Couldn't you tell me what that cable would be so I can locate it? After that, everything else is perfect. He makes all the perfect stops. Thanks

    Those who installed the printer say that it is the program, I have been with the machine for three months with this problem.

    In that case, you might need to take off the cover to see where the cable goes to see if the marks on cable match the marks on connector

    That’s the way it is supposed to work in auto mode. If you are changing all 4 plates simply press the APC and the ready button at the delivery end of the press and that begins the full sequence starting at the last unit. Or more simply….if you want to change just 1 individual unit, lift the guard of that unit THEN press ready/APC.

    Hello. The printer is from the year 1998 and does not have that function. In the photo I uploaded is what I have to press to start the APC cycle and then go to each skin and press ready and apc to start the change process

    From memory, try apc on, then ready, then apc on again. This should start the music/process. If this is not correct, then I encourage you to try the other option I suggested.

    To stop the plate change process…either press “ready then inch.” Or at either end of the press (feeder and delivery) you will notice a stop button not the same as the mushroom type you have everywhere else. This stop cancels the plate change process. It is also used in production to run out the feeder then slow the press down gradually to a stop.

    What happens is that when I go and press apc on the console in front of the machine it lights up. And when I go to any body. To say the 3 and I press there APC enables me to make the change in the body 2. The striking thing that the whole process makes it perfect

    I’m troubled as to what the problem is because what you are reporting is exactly what the plate changer should do. Is it that you don’t know how to change the last unit plate.

    It's like the start of the APC is out of date. The bad thing is that it never lets me activate my unit 4. Some people from Komori will come to see the machine there. We'll see what he says. All a mystery.!! Thank you for your concern to solve this problem. Meanwhile I'll keep looking, if you can think of anything else please share it.

    Re-read my previous post. To activate unit 4…go up to the unit and raise the inking guard with the switch and leave it in that position. Then press APC there at the unit and press ready, then APC again. This starts the process there.
