Adjusting friction of the tension bar
The proper tension is different depending on the kind of fabric, pre-processing, fabric width
and so on.
Adjust the weight of the tension bar with using counter weight according to the fabric.
The weight can be adjusted from approximately 750 g to 3000g.
After adjusting the weight, operate “TEST DRAW (see page 2.11)” to get the proper print
quality before starting print.
STEPS:
1. Install the counter weight to the weight shaft of
each feeding tension bar and taking-up tension
bar.
• The weight of each tension bar is approxi-
mately 1500g and one counter weight is ap-
proximately 100g. Install the quantity of the
counter weight you need.
• When using burred texsure or stretchy
material, lighten the tension bar.
When using fine texure or hard material,
make the tension bar heavier.
In case of making the tension bar heavier to 1500g or more:
Install the counter weight requirement at “A” position shown below. (Maximum 15 pcs.)
In case of making the tension bar lighter to 1500g or less:
Install twice of the counter weight requirement at “B” position shown below. (Maximum 15 pcs.)
