5.1 General Module Description
5.1.1 Guide Rails
The material is guided into the
rollers between two guide
rails. These rails should be
adjusted to hold the material
straight as it slides into the
rollers, but not to hold the
material so tight that they
impede it from moving freely.
One guide rail is fixed in
place, and the other guide rail
is adjustable. Adjustment of
the guide rail is covered in Section 5.4.1.
5.1.2 Rollers
The material is held in place and driven
into the blade by two rollers. The
indexed roller is fixed in place and
rotated in precise increments by the PLC.
It is normally hidden by the idler roller on
top of it.
The idler roller has no motor control; it is
spring loaded to press against and roll
over the indexed roller. The framework
that holds it pivots to control the
tension on the material between the
two rollers.
To load the material between the
rollers, press and hold down the
tension adjustment knob. This lifts the
idler roller so material can be inserted
between the rollers.
