M&R saturn

[ericheartsu]

does anyone on here have any knowledge of an older M&R saturn? We just picked one up, and i'm trying to figure out how to adjust the offcontact , but am having a major banging my head moment on how these little pieces actually move!

Contact me and I should be able to help

Eric-

Combination of the front peel nut adjustments and loosening the two bolts at the rear of the master frame then raising or lowering the bars themselves. Depending on what that does, you might also need to adjust the bed height and reparallel . If it's a used machine hopefully the threads on the peel rope are not buggered up.

is this what we need to be adjusting in the front?

I see the back, but i can't figure out the front!

Yep, those threads looked inked up, try to clean them up with a wire wheel, or if you have a 3/8-16 die that should do the trick unless they are really messed up, then you need to replace the entire rope. That is a "fun" repair job.

Saturn = Cool, but more fun than anything to run. You'll love it.

I see the back, but i can't figure out the front!

if this is an older unit and not equipped with flat flood cylinder make sure you adjust the peel to minimum and have the carriage in front position when you adjust your off contact or you will not be flooding properly

Noted!

And thanks Rich and Tony. still trying to figure this thing out as, this bolt seems a little gunked up on this rope!

What are you using the Saturn for? Paper prints?

Does anyone do textile with these?

[ericheartsu]

we are going to use it for boxes, transfer sheets, and maybe some bandannas.
