OVERVIEW
25.2 Technical Reference Manual Chapter Issue 5, Jul 16
The under screen cleaner (USC) wipes lint free paper, dry or wet across the
underside of the screen to minimize print medium build up. The paper is
available in 300, 400 and 520mm widths. The frequency and mode (wet/dry/
vac) is programmable in the product file.
When a screen cleaner operation is required, the camera carriage approaches
the cleaner and attaches to the cleaner using two permanent magnets. The two
electromagnetic clamps holding the screen cleaner unit in the home position are
de-energized allowing the camera carriage to control the cleaner. The paper
feed motor supplies a clean section of paper across the two rubber wiper blades
of the squeegee assembly. During a ‘Wet’ clean, a solvent pump dispenses
solvent through the solvent spray bar, wetting the width of the paper just behind
the squeegee assembly. The squeegee assembly is lifted (engaging the
cleaner with the underside of the screen) and the camera carriage pulls the
cleaner across the underside of the screen, removing any surplus print medium.
The two wiper blades form the mouth of the vacuum cleaner.
A paper usage sensor enables the software to monitor the paper roll usage. If
‘Time To Go’ is enabled, software measures how much paper is remaining and
displays this as a percentage. If ‘Time To Go’ is disabled, software monitors
the pulses from the sensor and if no pulses are detected during paper advance,
it is assumed that the paper roll is empty and displays an error message.
Solvent The solvent pump supplies solvent to the paper roll from the external solvent
tank, mounted on the rear or either side of the machine. The external solvent
tank container is capable of accommodating a 5 litre container of solvent. A
load cell in the base of the external solvent tank enables the software to
calculate the percentage level of solvent within the container.
The Style 5 machine utilizes an internal solvent tank container capable of
accommodating a 5 litre container of solvent. A solvent low level float switch
fitted to the solvent container enables the software to calculate the solvent level.
Solvent Advice The plastic tubing that transports the solvent from the solvent tank to the
underscreen cleaner head is designed to withstand most types of solvent.
However, mixing of two different solvents can cause a chemical reaction and
seriously damage the plastic tubing. When changing to a different type of
solvent, the tubing must be replaced completely to prevent solvent leaks. To
obtain new tubing and replacement instructions, order Machine Performance
Upgrade (MPU) 601187*2.
ASM only recommend the DEK-PRO and the DEK-PRO XF (Environmentally
Friendly) USC solutions to be used with the under screen cleaner. The following
are available from ASM:

Vacuum Filtration The vacuum filtration unit extracts solvent fumes and draws excess print
material onto the paper. Vacuum filtration is optional and may be one of the
following types:
Vacuum filtration is optional and may be one of the following types:
• VF35i Vacuum Filtration Unit

For information on the removal and replacement of the filters, refer to the
Preventive Maintenance manual.

VF35i Vacuum
Filtration Unit
The onboard VF35i vacuum filtration unit is protected by two circuit breakers on
the front panel of the base unit. A 15A (for 115V) and an 8A (for 230V) which
can be reset by pressing the circuit breaker button covered by a clear plastic
protector. For safety, the voltage selector control knob is removed from the
switch and bolted to the fan housing. The VF35i vacuum filtration unit has a
three position mechanical air flow adjuster to regulate the air flow as follows:
• Maximum (full air flow)
• Medium (half air flow approximately)
• Minimum (15% of full air flow approximately)
