Specifications
70
bi-directional and designed to take plates that fulfill the following
requirements:
Length: 127.2 - 128.2 mm
Width: 84.5 - 86.0 mm
Height: 7.5 - 29.0 mm
Maximum load: 5.2 kg
Above the plate ledge: the ledge width > 2.8 mm
Below the plate: the ledge width relative to a plate stacked below it:
> 0.7 mm
Gap between the top of a ledge and the bottom of a plate stacked above it:
> 3.5 mm
These last three requirements are because of the holders that support the
stack of plates in the magazine. There must be adequate space between a
ledge and the plate stacked above it for the holders to fit in. There must also
be an adequate amount of ledge sticking out for the holders to get
underneath so that they can support the plate and the rest of the plates
stacked above it.
Note! A plate locking mechanism ensures that a plate can be removed from
a stack even if there is a tendency for plates to stick together due to e.g. tape
on top of a plate.
Note! Plates with heights below 10 mm cannot be used in the same run as
larger heights.
