GP 6.7 Die Set Service
The Die Set assembly is not serviceable other than inspection and
periodic lubrication.
If a Die Set is at its end of life, it will tend to cause paper jam due to
hanging chips. This is a result of die plate wear, and not pin wear, which
cannot be corrected. When this occurs, the Die Set should be replaced
with a new one.
GP 6.7.1 Die Set Life Expectancy
The AdvancedPunch Pro Die Sets have a minimum life expectancy of
750K cycles (sheets of paper punched, when punching 75 gsm paper).
With periodic lubrication and optimum paper types, life can exceed this
number.
Use the Die Cycles feature on the User Interface to view the number of
cycles on the Die Set.
Variables that affect life expectancy:
Failure to follow the lubrication schedule or using the incorrect
lubricant
Variety and types of paper being punched
Cover stocks being punched
Length of the average job
Other environmental conditions
