Figure 3).

The parallel jig

The Parallel jig measures the variation in distance (parallel) along the length of two rollers. It is used
to accommodate the various adjustments necessary to bring the rollers of all the press components
(printing engines, ILP, unwinder) into parallel with the rollers of the adjacent one. Adjustments can
then be made to the press component position until the variation in distance is either zero or minimal.

The jig may be extended between rollers of distances using the three extensions which are attached
to the base. The v-section is suitable for rollers of diameter 50 - 79 mm, whereas the dial bracket,
buffer and dial are suitable for rollers 79 - 80 mm in diameter (Figure 4).
The long configuration is used to make the following alignments (Figure 4):
•
To align the ILP to PE1
•
To align the unwinder to the ILP
The intermediate configuration is used to make the following alignments (Figure 4):
•
To align one of the rollers in the exit-side stepping plate of the ILP to PE1
•
To align one of the rollers in the input-side stepping plate of the ILP to the ILP itself
