Ribbon Dispenser Adjustment, cont’d
The Ribbon Tension Spring is used to lift the dancer
arm back into position to trigger the Ribbon Drop
Proximity Sensor.
To adjust this spring loosen the securing thumbscrew,
and release all tension on the spring. Observe where
the dancer arm comes to rest.
Adjust the spring tension until the dancer arm is raised
against the Ribbon Tension Arm Bumper.
Position thumbscrew next to spring stop and securely
tighten.
After the spring is adjusted, the Ribbon Tension Spring may be used to increase tie
tightness by increasing the spring tension. No more than one inch of adjustment should
be used when increasing spring tension for tie tightness.
Once the adjustments are satisfactory, run several test packages using both the upper
and lower spools. The brake should hold firm when the Servo Tyer is idle and rotate freely
when the Servo Tyer is pulling ribbon.
