6.5.5 PRESSURE PLATE DRIVE MECHANISM
Overview
There are three phases.
• Homing
At power on or when recovering from an error or jam, the machine makes sure
that the pressure plate is at home position. This is because, if certain errors
occur, the pressure plate may not be in the home position at the start of a job
• Master ejection
The pressure plate rotates into a position where it can act as a feed guide for the
used master on its way to the eject box.
• Compression
The pressure plate compresses the master into the box.
Drive
The pressure plate motor [A] drives the pressure plate [B] through the pressure
plate gear [C]. This gear contains actuators for the home position sensor [D] and
the limit position sensor [E]. These two sensors monitor the pressure plate position.
The diagram shows a front view of the mechanism. The actuators are on the rear
of the pressure plate gear, which is shown as see-through for ease of viewing.
