[GreenKeys] Ongoing Model 15 Issues

[Steve Garrison]

Thought of that myself, but can you give any direction on how to accomplish
that adjustment?  Short of removing the Bell Crank Mounting Plate?  And even
then they are slotted screw heads; easy enough to loosen the locking nuts
with a small wrench, but it sure would have been a little easier with hex
headed screws!

Maybe the carriage guide screws need adjusting?

Is there an adjustment that I've been unable to discover that might explain
the back and forth 'rocking' (only word I could come up with) of the
carriage when the M15 printing?  Hope that is clear enough.  I'm not
referring to rocking where the left and right sides of the carriage seem to
pivot around the 'Z' axis, but where the front and back of the carriage seem
to pivot around the 'X' axis.

 

The Basket Guide Roller Assemblies on both sides of the carriage do not stay
in contact with the Lower Track as the Printing Bail Blade moves back and
forth, causing the rollers to lift as the bail moves to the rear and to come
back in contact as the bail moves forward.

 

Maybe this is normal, but, at least to me, does not seem like it should be.
I just haven't had as much experience with 15/19s to know.

 

Can anyone advise?   John Nagle are you out there this morning?
