Measuring the Traction at the Ribbon Take Up and the Ribbon Supply Hub
The traction at the ribbon take up and at the supply hub is measured by using a test collar (Part no. 5534199).
In this case the distance l results from the radius of the test collar (30 mm).

Figure 5i Measuring the traction at the hubs of the transfer ribbon
1 Spring scale, 10 N
2 Test collar
3 Ribbon take up hub
4 Ribbon supply hub
Remove the transfer ribbon from the printer.
Attach the test collar (2) to the appropriate hub (3 or 4).
Clamp the test collar (2) with the spreading mechanism (turn the knurled nut in counterclockwise direction).
Wind the string attached to the test collar (2) several times around it.
NOTICE!
Pay attention to the wind direction as shown in the î‚¿gure.
5. Attach the spring scale (1), 10 N, to the end of the string and move it vertically upwards until the hub starts to
rotate.
6. Read the measured traction value F.
If the readings differ from the set values, the concerning clutch has to be adjusted.
Set values:
Transfer ribbon take up hub M = 10.5 - 13.5 Ncm
l = 3 cm
--> F = 3.5 - 4.5 N
Transfer ribbon supply hub M = 4.5 - 6.0 Ncm
l = 3 cm
--> F = 1.5 - 2.0 N
