DCA/DCC Adjustments of Mark location

Cost Savings with Multi-Reading Roll Dies
Your DCA/DCC Roll Carriage is designed for efficiency and repeatability. Its ability to adjust mark location and spring tension without removing the roll die offers significant time savings and minimizes tooling wear.

With simple adjustments, you can index multiple readings on the roll die — no need to remove or re-key the die. The system allows for the following adjustment features:

Adjustment Capabilities:

• Adjusting Screw & Lock Nut: Fine-tune the start of the mark by adjusting the screw in or out.

• Stop Pin: Choose one of six available positions to quickly align your legend.

• Spring Cap & Shaft: Adjust spring tension with four possible set-screw locations to optimize return action.

Adjustment Instructions:

1. Initial Setup
   Position the set-screw (det#9) and lock nut (det#10) in the central location on the holder body. This provides an equal range of forward/backward adjustment for fine-tuning later.

2. Legend Start Alignment

   • Loosen the set screw (det#12) on the stop pin (det#6).

   • Loosen the set screw (det#11) on the spring cap (det#5).

   • Remove the stop pin and rotate the shaft to visually align the start of the mark.

   • Reinsert the stop pin in the location nearest the adjusting screw.

   • Re-tighten the set screw (det#12) so it seats properly into the stop pin notch.

3. Spring Tension Adjustment

   ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Proper spring tension is critical for a smooth return of the roll die.

   • Loosen the set screw (det#11) if not already done.

   • Rotate the spring cap (det#5) to one of the four marked positions on the shaft face.

   • Retighten the set screw.

   • Adjust as needed for smooth roll die return.

   ⚠️ CAUTION: Overwinding the spring can cause part scuffing and damage the holder.

4. Final Mark Start Position
   Use the adjusting screw (det#6) for precise alignment of the start location.
   Once satisfied, tighten the lock nut (det#10) to secure the setting.

Lubrication Instructions:

• Apply grease to the two lube points (det#13) every 10,000 cycles or whenever the shaft is removed.
  Regular lubrication ensures smooth operation and prolongs tool life.
