5.4 Unwind brake tension
The unwind brakes are uniquely designed to allow
you to change rolls of film without changing your current
brake setting. Brake tension may vary from roll to roll so
some adjustments may be required for optimal output.
A lw ays use the m inim um am ount
of brake for th e job.

b) Turn the upper black brake knob ( shown above)
or the lower gray brake disc ( not shown )
counter clockwise to decrease unwind brake
tension.
5.5 Rewind brake tension
The rewind brake controls the tension of the
rewind tubes. Rewind brakes along with the unwind brakes
allow for precise control of the release liner in PSA films.
If your Falcon 60 C is equipped with the roll to roll option,
the rewind brakes are helpful as the finished product
rewind becomes heavier by adding more friction to the
rewind tube.
a) Turn the brake dial counter clockwise to
increase rewind brake tension.
If m ore brake is needed, add an O -ring
to the brake side of the rew ind.
