Videojet 8520 Operator Manual
Optionally, a resilient shaft encoder can be used for optimum contact
between the shaft encoder and the conveyor belt. This mount adjusts the
position and pressing pressure.
Note: Ideally you should avoid mounting the shaft encoder on the belt shaft or on
the underside of the conveyor belt. The speeds can be different here.
Fixed speed
Fixed Speed mode should only be used when the speed of the conveyor is
constant and critical information is not to be printed.
Note: If fixed speed mode is selected and the linear speed of the conveyor should
change, the length of the image printed will either increase or reduce accordingly.
