= Finger Back-and-Forth Motion =
•
The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers are moved in the crosswise
direction by the eccentric cam with ratchet when Separator Finger
Solenoid SL6 is operated.
•
When SL6 is energized, the Actuating Lever is moved in the direction of
arrow C. At this time, pawl D moves over the ratchet one tooth, which is
a given amount of rotary motion of the eccentric cam. When SL6 is
deenergized, the Actuating Lever is returned to the original position (in
the direction of arrow E) by the tension of the spring. As a result, pawl D
moves over the ratchet one tooth back. (The ratchet is not turned
backward as it is provided with a lock that prevents the ratchet from
turning backward.)
•
According to the profile of the eccentric cam, the Lateral Movement
Plate is moved as the eccentric cam turns. This results in the Finger
Shaft being moved back and forth over an approx. 9 mm distance. (One
complete turn of the eccentric cam is equivalent to one round trip of the
fingers.)
