Bridge between platesetter and plate gummer

[jimking]

We have a technician assembling our 4 out Agfa Acento S platesetter. He's having an issue with how to connect the bridge to the Azora plate gummer. Apparently the bridge connects to the gummer only. The transport (bridge) is set very close to the exit lip of the platesetter contain an activation switch which turns the transport on when a plate exits towards the gummer,  this way the bridge does not have to be bolted to the platesetter but it has to be bolted to the gummer. No bolt holes seem to line up, maybe we are missing something?  Does anyone have an idea or a schematic available?

Everyone calm down now, wait your turn................We figured it out.

Sorry man, I don't have that configuration or even close. Can I offer you a banana?

... but it has to be bolted to the gummer. No bolt holes seem to line up, maybe we are missing something?......

I would guess you were missing some holes then? I usually kept them in the back room with my box of dots....or by the dot-stretchers...

[jimking]

Yes, send them overnight- Fedex, hailboy.  :laugh:

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

Yes sir. Until then, I offer this as a teaser.



Now get that shirt off!

Jeez, another smart ass!  :laugh: :laugh: By the way you're correct about the holes, they did not match with the bridge and gummer. It turns out the holes to use is the two odd ball hole offset between four semetric holes. It just doesn't seem to be enough support but it is after all and works great............so far.

I was afraid that I had arrived too late to post a blatantly off-topic post in Jim's printing-related thread, but I see that I arrived just in the nick of time! Whew!

[jimking]

I'm starting to think Hailboy has a craving for bananas. Maybe I should send him a bunch?  :cheesy:

[mwc]

...and you could always send 'woman that is very nice to bananas' my way.... :azn:

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

The woman is merely a byproduct of the banana image, does not come included. I do not have a banana fetish, I do however have a fetish watching JimKing eat a banana with no shirt on.

Damnit, I was going to post a pic of a drill earlier but decided I didn't want to derail Jim's thread to off topic. Too late now I guess.

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

It's never too late Joe. Never. Taint this thread... make it GLORIOUS!

 :tongue:

Here you go Jim, make your own holes that do line up.

[DigitalCrapShoveler]

YES! And take that shirt off while you do it. It gets hot in the CTP room.
