Installing and Removing the Pin Bar
The pin bar provides alignment points that insure accurate plate
registration.
There are two types of pin bars: notch-registered and edge-
registered. Notch-registered pin bars are for registering plates that
are punched with a specific notch pattern. This pattern matches up
with the pins in both the Mako CTP and the press clamp. The edge-
registered pin bar is used to edge register a plate. Typically, notch
registration provides more consistent registration than edge
registration.
The pin bar is located in a channel on the left side of the input tray.
