Hydraulic shock absorbers
1. Adjust the depth of the two hydraulic shock absorbers.
2. Check this by putting the film bridge up and down manually.
3. The perfect depth is if the film bridge doesn’t touch the housing of the shock
absorber.
4. Try to keep a distance of approximately 1 mm between the housing shock
absorber and the film bridge.
5. This is for the upper and lower shock absorber.
6. Remember to fix the nut of the shock absorber.
Take over table
1. Adapt the position of the take-over table so that it lies parallel to the surface of the
drum.
2. The distance between the drum surface and the take-over table is a function of the
spoiler in the drum.
3. The surface of the take-over table and the surface of the spoiler should be in one
plane.
4. Adapting the position of the complete film load cassette can change the distance,
so by adjusting the two feet of the film load cassette.
5. The distance between the drum and the suction caps should be around 0,7 cm.
This is not the reference distance!
Depending if the film doesn’t fall against the drum when he’s only holded by the
take-over, the suctionscaps can always be adjusted closer to the drum.
6. A reference distance is the equal distance left and right between take-over table
and the surface of the drum.
7. Do not forget to tighten the eight screws of the film feeder.
8. Enter the command “8 RFDREL and 1 RFDREL” this resets the valves of the film
bridge and the take over cylinder.
Activating blowpipe
This blowpipe was designed to separate films. It is situated at the top of the
filmfeeder. Airflow can be adjusted by a air speed controler which is connected in a
tube on the left side of the blowpipe.
The blow pipe is activated just before the filmfeeder bridge moves up.
