GRIP ASSEMBLY
10. GRIP ASSEMBLY
[B]
The grip assembly works as follows:
When the stapler unit reaches the stapling position, the grip arm
positioning solenoid [A] activates and the plunger is pulled in to move the
grip arms [B] towards the rear of the machine. This is to access the
paper on the bin.
The grip arm positioning solenoid has a strong magnet inside; the plunger
stays in this condition until the solenoid is energized by an opposite
charge.
The inset at the upper right of the illustration shows the mechanical
linkage as seen from the top.
The grip solenoid [C] activates to close the grip arms and the grip arms
catch the papers.
For this solenoid also, the plunger keeps the grip arms closed until the
solenoid is energized by an opposite charge.
