Heidelberg Windmill 10x15 locked up
Hello,
I need some help…My heidelberg windmill 10x15 is completely locked up and stuck at the point of impression. Can anyone help me trouble shoot how to disengage. I had my noticing it losing pressure in the impression just recently, last job, I thought sit may have been the plates. I just read a post to increase packing, I did and then the next thing the machine locked up. I will send some picture when I get home tonight. I live in NE fla. If anyone knows of a mechanic around here that may be helpful.
concerned,
Jamie
Sounds like you cracked your shear collar, which is the machine’s safety device against too much impression. Once you get the machine unlocked, you’ll need to replace it.
Have you tried releasing the impression lever? Sometimes you can pop it up which relieves the pressure and the press will open back up.
