So there are a number of strange things with the press. The last setup on the press before I owned it was terrible. The carousel doesn't come up far enough. You can see the old grease line and it is about 1" shy of where it used to table up to. So all the heads are bottomed out on the off contact and the platens are maxed out to the top to try and make the press printable. It works OK, but if the table came all the way up, my problems would be solved, that's for sure.
Any ideas on this one? The off contact itself isn't working, so the problem might be there. Or it might be in the valve that controls the left cylinder, that is leaking like hell in the down position. It has been leaking for a while I guess and it has to be covered with oil inside because there are puddles under it.
It's strange. I have an email into Rick and one of his techs, I sent it tonight, so we'll see what I hear tomorrow. I am sure it will involve parts, just hopefully not the expensive ones.
This is a prime example of what happens when you don't train people properly and they have zero regard for equipment.
