    SAFETY FIRST Your Vario has been designed with safety as a key feature. However, as with all electrical equipment, when removing any covers or changing fuses always first discon- nect the machine from the mains electricity supply by switching off and unplugging the machine.
  • Page 6 Watkiss approved engineer. MAINS INPUT The Mains input for the Vario is on the rear of the drive unit. The collator must be plugged into a mains supply of the correct voltage. Two fuses are fitted next to the Mains input.
  • Page 7 GETTING HELP We are confident that your Vario will give many years of trouble-free production. If you have any queries or prob- lems, in the first instance please refer to the problem solving section in this book.

  • Page 33 Loading the Bins Slide the stock into the bin between the sidelays. Push in the sidelays to centralise the paper in the bin and so that they hold the paper securely. Bin Sidelays Switching Bins On & Off Before a test set is produced, individual bins will auto- matically switch on and off as they are loaded and unloaded.
  • Page 34 Moving the lever to its highest position disengages the separator. This position is used for the improved feeding of heavy cardstocks. Tray Pressure Separator Pressure Adjustment Adjustment Tray Pressure Increasing the tray pressure gives the feed wheels greater force on the paper; too much will result in double feeds and increases the possibility of scuffing the paper.
  • Page 35 This will be indicated by the small green light. The Vario outline diagram on the control panel will show a broken line between bins that are linked.
  • Page 36 Particularly heavy or opaque stock such as a straw board backing sheet may cause the bin sensor to go ’over- range’. This means that the sheet is too optically dense for the sensor to ’see’ through it. Double feeds will not be detected but misses, trailing sheets and jams will be detected as normal.
  • Page 37: Slimvac Bins

  • Page 45: Suction Bins

    Suction Bins Each Vario tower may have any number of Suction feed bins between 1 and 8. Additional bins can be added if required even after the machine has been installed. For operation of SlimVAC and Friction bins please refer to the individual chapters.
  • Page 46 the front of the machine and run parallel with the manifold. The suckers produce the corrugation in the sheet which ensures effective sheet separation (see x-section below). Whilst doing this, check that all the sucker cups are undamaged and that they are correctly seated (see p.75). Repeat this procedure for all bins.
  • Page 47 For on-line booklet making at the rear of a bench top machine, use method 1. When using the Vario rear corner stapler, use method 2, with the corner to be stapled loaded outermost. Loading the Bins Normally the trays are all in the up position, in order to load the bins they must first be lowered.
  • Page 48 the stack is loaded neatly and square, and then place the magnetic sidelays on all three sides. Make sure that the loaded bins are selected (remember that the bins are automatically selected as you load them, before you run the test set). Set the drive speed to 80%, the air separation to about 30% and the sets per hour to about 2,000.
  • Page 49 loading the Default Template will switch on all loaded bins. Remember that bins cannot be switched on or off when the system is locked (touch if necessary). END JOB SENSOR Sensor overrange is indicated after the test set by a slow OVERRANGE flashing red light on the bin in question.

The sensor only operates when feeding to the front of the collator. PAPER GUIDES There are paper guides at the delivery outfeed both at the front and at the rear of the collator.
  • Page 57 DEFLECTOR STRIP A deflector strip is provided to aid the stacking of large flimsy sheets such as NCR. As flimsy or curly sheets enter the receiving tray they may ride up against the endlay causing an untidy stack. To remedy this, clip the deflector strip to the underside of the grey tube (see above) at the front of the bench base.

  • Page 59: Oscillating Bench Base

    Oscillating Bench Base Three different bases are available for the Vario, a bench base, an oscillating bench base and a floor base. If your machine is fitted with a bench base, please refer to Section 6. If your machine is fitted with a floor base, please refer to section 8.

Position the sidelays on the base leaving a 5mm (¼”) gap between the inside corner of the sidelay and the paper.
  • Page 62 Paper Guides If the back edge of the paper stack is uneven this may be due to trailing sheets. Identify the bin that is trailing and adjust the feed to remedy the problem. PAPER DELIVERY Paper can be delivered to the front or the rear of the DIRECTION LEVER machine.
  • Page 63: Floor Base

    Floor Base Three different bases are available for the Vario, a bench base, an oscillating base and a floor base. If your machine is fitted with a bench base, please refer to Section 6. If your machine is fitted with an oscillating bench base, please refer to Section 7.
  • Page 64 Failure to do this will result in damage to the collator. When feeding into a Deep Pile Stacker unit, it is essen- tial that the front feedout conveyor is removed. Please refer to your Watkiss supplier for more information. The divert catch tray should also be removed. Paper Guides...
  • Page 65 Air Blast When stacking large and/or flimsy sheets, such as car- bonless paper, air can be directed into the jogger to aid neat stacking. The volume of air is controlled by an air tap (see p.59). Turning the tap to the right provides more air, and turning to the left reduces the air.
  • Page 66 Front Delivery Rear Delivery Rear Deflector Lever Feeding into a Jogger at the Front Ensure the divert catch tray (B) is fitted correctly. It should hang vertically down between the base back bar and central shaft under the conveyor. Position and set up the jogger in front of the floor base (see photo p.65).
  • Page 67 REAR FEEDOUT The rear feedout conveyor is an option to allow rear CONVEYOR delivery from a floor base into a jogger. (OPTIONAL) Rear Feedout Conveyor Rear Feedout Conveyor and Jogger Feeding to the Rear When delivering to the rear of the floor base, the rear deflector lever should be pushed down so that the fingers (A) deflect the paper to the rear.

  • Page 69: Joggers

    Joggers There are two types of jogger available for the Vario, the X-Jogger and the Straight Jogger. The X-Jogger straight or offset stacks whilst the Straight Jogger is used when set separation is not required. X-JOGGER Setting Up the Jogger Position the X-Jogger under the collator as shown.
  • Page 70 (Part No. 914-304). Using the Jogger with a Bench Top Vario The X-Jogger cannot be used with a standard bench top base. However, it can be used with an oscillating bench base.
  • Page 71 The Straight Jogger can be interfaced with either a stand- ard or oscillating bench base. In both cases please refer to your Watkiss supplier for more information. The Straight Jogger can be also be used off-line either independently or with any of the Vario bases (see below).
  • Page 72 Jogging Off-line The straight jogger can also be used off-line. Connect the jogger to the mains and switch on both the mains on/off switch and the local control switch.
  • Page 73: Rear Corner Stapler

    Rear Corner Stapler The Vario Rear Corner Stapler (RCS) is an optional ac- cessory that may be fitted onto your Vario. This unit fits onto the rear of the collator. Loading the Collator The sheets should be loaded face down and with the top page in the bottom bin.
  • Page 74 For more information about these messages, see p.85. Loading the Staple Cartridge The RCS uses staple cartridges, each holding 5,000 staples. These can be reordered from your Watkiss sup- plier quoting part number 800-020. • Open the access flap and release the red cartridge retaining spring by pushing firmly to the right •...
