CASSETTE SUCKER BAR

Purpose:
This adjustment ensures that the CASSETTE SUCKER BAR CARRIAGE travels the correct
distance, that the rear end position is correct, and the CASSETTE SUCKERS are withdrawn
correctly from the film as it is picked up by the TRANSPORT ROLLERS to avoid static or
pressure marks.
Note
The main cause of SUCKER MARKS is contamination of the sucker surface. This
contamination can be any number of substances ranging from natural body oil, sweat or even
KODAK Intensifying Screen Cleaner and anti static Solution (which has sometimes been
recommended for cleaning SUCKERS!). Do not use KODAK Intensifying Screen Cleaner and
Anti Static Solution to clean the SUCKERS!
How to clean the SUCKERS

similar material.
2
