Ribbon Sets
Two sets of ribbons are used in ironing. Use
the cross-section below (Figure 5-5) to follow the
path of the atwork. Note the function of each
roll and set of ribbons as the atwork moves
through the unit.
The feed ribbon drive roll (A) rotates the set of
feed ribbons (B). These move the atwork under
the safety nger guard (C) toward the ironing
cylinder (E).
The flatwork is then carried under the
compression roll (D), which smooths the atwork.
To keep the atwork tight against the ironing
cylinder (E), a set of return ribbons (F) is rotated
by the return ribbon drive roll (G) and guided by
the return ribbon guide assembly (H) and idler
rolls (I).
The atwork then passes over the return ribbon
drive roll (G) and onto the receiving shelf.
