Straightener
Description
As the cone-rod leaves the drum/cassette assembly, it passes through the
straightener assembly. This creates a reverse stress action to the coiled cone-
rod, which when set up correctly, straightens the cone-rod during the push.
There is one variable position roller that can be individually set to vary the
amount of reverse stress applied to the coiled cone-rod. On the bottom of the
straightener is a pair of scraper blocks, to remove any debris from the cone-
rod before it enters the roller arrangement. Below the scraper blocks is the
cone-up sensor, which provides the electronics with the relevant signals to
identify when the cone extension rod is located in the upper-most position.
Assembly
An exploded view of the straightener is illustrated in Drawing 1127-01-ASS,
which can be found on the following page. This drawing provides a
representation of the main parts that make up the assembly, and the way in
which they fit together.
When ordering any replacement parts, please quote the assembly drawing
number, revision, and title, followed by the item number and description of
the part you wish to order.
