Ribbon Tension Assembly
The Ribbon Tension Assembly holds the ribbon spools and keeps the ribbon tension tight
for a proper tie. It houses the ribbon tension spring, ribbon drop sensor, the ribbon brake,
and the dancer arm. The Servo Tyer comes standard with a double ribbon spool holder.
Ribbon Tension Spring
The Ribbon Tension Spring is used to increase or decrease brake tension and allow for
a proper ribbon dispense. The thumb screw and cantilevered spring stop allows to relieve
or maintain spring tension.
