AUTO WARS 1 - Micro Registration - Videos only

[Screened Gear]

Ok so I thought this would be a good topic to start with. Remember this is a video series so only post videos of your Auto press. I added the Poll feature to this post just for fun. Now it is really a war. We can see what everyone thinks. I feel like kind of a tool making these posts. I hope everyone likes them. I would like to do one for every aspect of each press.

Now if you have a press and want to post a video go ahead the more the better. I will add the name of the press to the list so people can vote it as the best option for micros. Make sure to vote for at least one press. You can change your vote as new presses are posted.

Make comments also. This is for learning so please no bashing.




UPDATE

These are the AUTO WARS so far

When did you hear me sober??? I only drink at ISS shows.

You sound sober there in your video. I really dig the micros after watching it again.

They are really easy to use. I don't know how other presses work so I can't comment if they are better. That’s the reason I wanted to do this Video Series.

I would say that we do the changes on the fly all the time. If the print is out of registration it is usually a very small amount and when you make the adjustment it is getting closer to where it needs to be so it works great on the fly.

Pierre I agree with you. I knew if I said you can do it without the disclaimer that people would say that it would mess up wet on wet. You are talking about very fine adjustments, I do that also.

I made a video today but didn't have time to do anything with it.  I was installing a new 6/4 sidewinder today and a triloc regi system.  I'll do my best to get it up here tomorrow.

That is pretty cool. I won't bother with showing my Anatol which you have to lock and unlock.  Obviously this system is probably the best on the market.

[alan802]

I like the fact that you don't have to lock the micros, but engineering wise, how does it accomplish that and is it 100% locked in like it would be if it had a locking mechanism?  I'd like to take one apart and see how it works, I'm not doubting it, I just wonder if there is a reason why other manufacturers use a locking mechanism on their micros.  Damn Austrians might just be ahead of the game with that system.

Donnie,

Even if you think your system is not better, make a video and post it. Its nice to see the compairisons. Thats why this AUTO WAR series was started. This goes for everyone.

Thanks

Come on Donnie we have some cool presses, but hey I will agree, I like the way those mics work not having to tighten after micing has some benefits.

from what I can tell, the micros are a high ratio worm gear system and thus do not require locking. They are under slight tension so they do not turn freely and because of it do not drift. The adjustment force is higher than regular micros, but it can be done with just two fingers.

I have several that have developed a little bit of slop in them so they have  few thousands of free play (not drifting while printing, just jump a little instead of smooth pickup when you initially turn the wheel), but overall, it is a very good system.

i like the idea of the locking mechanism also
that a side. he is only turning one knob to make the adjustment
another time saver. whereas when working with two knobs you gotta
make sure both knobs are going evenly up or down together
just my two cents
