Adjusting Automatic Brake On
Reel Holder
It may never be necessary to adjust this part.
The reel holder in the back of the machine has an
automatic braking device which is operated by the
tension arm. As the operator begins to feed paper,
the machine pulls the polyester tape from the back
of the machine and causes the arm to rise. This
releases the brake and allows the reel of tape to
turn freely. When the operator stops feeding
paper, the reel will continue to turn until the arm
drops far enough for the brake to operate and stop
the reel. There is a roll pin in the back plate of the
machine which prevents the arm from being
rotated beyond a certain point. However, in normal
operation, the arm should never come in contact
with this pin and should stop approximately 1/2"
from the pin. This may be adjusted by rotating the
nut in the center of the reel holder.
3.3.10 Adjustment Of Brake & Clutch
Potentiometers
The two potentiometers located on the side of
machine's operators controls, are controls for the
electric brake and clutch. The purpose of these
controllers is to change the aggressiveness of the
brake & clutch, making for more gentle stops &
starts.
For normal operation, set potentiometer to lowest
possible setting (usually 5 or higher) so that the
action of the brake and clutch allows smooth,
consistent stopping and starting.
NOTE!
THIS IS NOT NORMAL RUNNING
ADJUSTMENT AND CAN PRETTY
MUCH BE LEFT ALONE ONCE SET.
