  • Page 14: Operating Principle

    U-RX User Manual OPERATING PRINCIPLE Speed control During winding, the speed is controlled by the deflection of the dancer arm from its rest position (rest position = left in the picture). The greater the deflection (to the right), the lower the speed. If the label material sags - the dancer arm is then only slightly deflected - the rewinder increases the speed to catch up.
