Leveling Platens
« on: January 28, 2021, 11:07:44 AM »
Anyone have a video link for leveling platens on an M&R? I thought I bookmarked one a while ago, but it seems I didnt. We havent done it in a bit and the last time we did our tech did it. Winter maintenance wants me to do it again especially with the CTS coming. Thanks in advance if anyone has one!

The best way to level pallets on a press is to use a L.O.C gauge.( level and off contact)

Yes there was a video showing the whole process on a Sportsman. But it’s gone.

I heard that action engineering does make one to order. But I have not used or seen one.
