Drive System
Use the drawing at right (Figure 5-4) to
identify the mechanical components of the ironer
drive system.
A shaft from the main drive motor (A) extends
directly into the main gear reducer (B). The output
shaft of the main gear reducer is connected to a
drive sprocket (C) which powers the drive chain
(D).
The chain passes around an adjustable idler
arm (E) and then powers the return ribbon drive
roll sprocket (F) and feed ribbon drive roll
sprocket (G). It then drives the compression roll
sprocket (H) and the ironing cylinder sprocket (I).
The adjustable idler arm (E) maintains proper
tension on the drive chain. Tension on the
compression roll is maintained by a spring (I).
