3.3 CALIBRATING THE UW/W 100 3.3.1 Calibrating the rear tensioning system Parts and Tools needed Included in kit No. 1 2 3 4 Description Synthetic paper strip Hexagon wrench 2,5 mm Hexagon wrench 3 mm Hexagon wrench 4 mm No. 1 2 Description Tape Pencil Quantity 1 1 1 1 NOT included in kit Quantity 1 1 3.3.1.1 Checking the calibration The procedure below describes the calibration check of the rear tensioning system. The method to check the front tensioning system is the same.
Step 4 : Check if the edges of the loop are aligned on each other. Step 5 : Raise the pressure rollers. Slide the end of the strip (1) under the pressure rollers (4) and move it to position 1 as shown on the picture below. Lower the pressure rollers. No 1 2 3 4 Description Synthetic paper strip Paper loop Tensioning bars Pressure rollers Step 6 : Go to the FRONT SIDE of the printer. Step 7 : Carefully pull the strip to create some tension. • • Caution Don’t pull too hard on the strip.
PART 2 : DRAWING THE CONTROL LINES Step 1 : Place the adjustment plate onto the strip and slide it against the pressure rollers. Step 2 : Draw a line on the strip. Step 3 : Slide the strip (1) to position 2 as indicated on the image below.
Step 4 : • • Carefully pull the strip to create some tension. Caution Don’t pull too hard on the strip. This will loosen the tape, resulting in the fact that the loop becomes longer, leading to a bad calibration check. Make sure that you have an equal tension on the left and right of the strip. Step 5 : Place the adjustment plate onto the strip and slide it against the pressure rollers. See image below. Step 6 : Draw a line for the second time. The following two situations can be obtained.
3.3.1.2 Adjusting the tensioning systems Introduction The present topic describes the adjustment of the REAR tensioning system. The procedure to adjust the front tensioning system is the same. Procedure Step 1 : Standing at the REAR SIDE of the unit, remove the cover (1) of the adjustable bracket (3). Tool : Hexagon wrench 2,5 mm No 1 2 3 Step 2 : Loosen (don’t remove) the 4 screws on the side of the adjustable bracket.
Step 3 : Use the 2 screws (1) in the tension bar bracket to adjust the tension system. Referencing the figures below Line 1 is drawn in Position 1 and Line 2 in drawn in Position 2. Tool : Hexagon wrench 3 mm REAR REAR 1 = Adjustment screws IF Line 2 lays… THEN turn the adjustment screws as follows : BEFORE line 1 (Case A on image above) BEHIND line 1 (Case B on image above) • Caution Make sure to turn both adjustment screws an equal amount of turns.
3.3.2 Calibrating the front and rear roll unit bars. 3.3.2.1 Introduction The heights (hL and hR) on both sides of the roll unit bar (2) in relation to the printer stand (1) have to be adjust with spacers (3) to calibrate a roll unit bar (2),. FRONT VIEW No 1 2 3 Description Printer stand Roll unit bar Spacer 3.3.2.2 Checking the calibration of the roll units The procedure below describes the calibration check of the FRONT roll unit. The procedure to check the rear roll unit is the same.
Step 5 : Slide the end of the synthetic paper strip (1) under the pressure rollers (4) in position 1 of the printer until the synthetic paper strip (1) is a little tensioned. No 1 2 3 4 • • Description Synthetic paper strip Loop Core Pressure rollers Caution Don’t pull too hard on the strip. This will loosen the tape, resulting in the fact that the loop becomes longer, leading to a bad calibration check. Make sure that you have an equal tension on the left and right of the strip.
PART 2 : DRAWING THE CONTROL LINES Step 1 : Standing at the front side of the unit, place the adjustment plate onto the strip and position it against the pressure rollers as indicated on the image below. Step 2 : Draw a line. See image below. Step 3 : Slide the strip (1) to position 2 as indicated on the image below.
Step 4 : Place the adjustment plate onto the strip and slide it against the pressure rollers. Step 5 : Pull the strip so there is an equal tension. • • Caution Don’t pull too hard on the strip. This will loosen the tape, resulting in the fact that the loop becomes longer, leading to a bad calibration check. Make sure that you have an equal tension on the left and right of the strip. Step 6 : Draw a line for the second time. The following two situations can be obtained.
3.3.2.3 Adjusting the roll units Procedure Step 1 : Use the correct amount of spacers (2) to cover the space between the drawn lines (1). No 1 2 Step 2 : 3-20 Description Drawn lines Spacer Determine the deviation of the roll unit using the image and table below. IF line 2 lays… BEFORE line 1 BEHIND line 1 Adjusting the FRONT Units THEN… Remove spacers on the left front unit or add spacers on the right front unit. Add spacers on the left front unit or remove spacers on the right front unit.
Step 3 : Insert these spacers (1) at the left or right side (depending on the deviation determined in the previous step) BETWEEN the roll unit bar (3) and the printer’s stand (2). (See images below) No 1 2 3 Description Spacer Printer’s stand Roll unit bar Step 4 : Check the calibration of the roll system again and do an adjustment again if necessary. Step 5 : Now fix the screws of the roll unit bar so the bar doesn’t move anymore.
3.3.3 Adjusting the weight supports under the UW/W 100 Parts and Tools needed No. 1 Description Hexagon wrench 3 mm Quantity 1 3.3.3.1 Location of the weight supports on a 65” printer There are 2 weight supports on the UW/W 100 system for a 65” machine, see the images below for their positions. FRONT VIEW No 1 Description Weight support 3.3.3.
3.3.3.3 Adjusting the weight supports • Caution Don’t turn the weight supports with force when they reach the floor! Instructions Lower the weight supports of the UW/W 100 till they reach the floor. A hexagon wrench 6 mm can be used as indicated below.

4 OPERATING THE SYSTEM 4.1 TURNING THE POWER ON / OFF The switch in located on the power supply box. Its status is marked with “O” and “I”. “I” Switched ON Power LED on control panel of winding system will light up “O” Switched OFF Power LED on control panel of winding system will not be lid.
4.2 LOADING ROLL MEDIA Please follow the procedure below to install and load roll media. Step 1 : Make sure the printer and Unwinder/Winder 100 are switched ON. Step 2 : Raise the pressure rollers of the printer. Step 3 : Open the front cover Step 4 : Make sure both unwinder (REAR) and winder (FRONT) unit are set to MANUAL mode.
Step 9 : Be sure that the media is loaded centrally. This to be sure that the media is wound up straight. This can be easily checked by the yellow labels on the winding rails. Be sure to mount the left and right roll unit on the same distance from the 0I0 label. Step 10 : Install an empty core between the front roll units. a. Make sure the core is longer than the media width. b. Load it centrally as described in previous step Step 11 : Use the foot-switch to release some media at the rear.
Step 13 : Take the media on the front of the printer and pull until the rear tensioning system gently hits the back of the machine. This to become an equal tension. Step 14 : Lower the pressure rollers Step 15 : Set the unwinder (REAR) unit to AUTOMATIC. The rear tensioning system will go to its initial position. Notes Be sure to make the correct settings on the control panel of the winding system.
