Combined with our unique intelligent heating solution, which offers efficient power consumption. Tension Sensor R R ear r sensor The tension sensor is uesd to maintain and adjust the tension of the printing material, besides It helps maintain print quality, facilitate powder transfer, and ensure accurate printing positioning by adjusting the tension of the printing material. After the transfer film is finished baking, it will exit the oven. The rear sensor is used to detect whether the transfer film has completed baking and emerged from the back. Powder Box Tension sensor Located beneath the take-up roller. The powder boxʼs main functions include Powder Storage， powder supply and convenient powder replacement, ensuring a continuous supply of powder and high-quality printing results.
- Page 16 Before use Dual Vacuum Rollers Through dual suction from the front and back, the paper feeding accuracy is ensured during the film transportation process, allowing it to better adhere to the conveyor belt. This ensures even baking of the transfer film. Once the film is detected by the rear sensor, the front vacuum roller will stop suction but continue to transport the film, while the rear vacuum roller will maintain both suction and transport functions. Powder Shield The powder shield's function is to prevent powder from splashing. If it is opened while the machine is running, the powder shaking function will stop. Once it is closed, the powder shaking function will resume.
