In-feed table (13)

Figure 15: In-feed table controls

The in-feed table can swing up around pivot point (P) till it is upside down. In the upper
position it is stopped by the shaft supports and in the lower position by the table stops (M).
The in-feed table has a number of features to help feeding images correctly. Some of
these features can only be used in some of the processes.

Unwind trough (A)

To unwind a medium from a roll.
The trough can swing to the front (left) to be used or to the bottom rear (right) to be out of
the way. When the trough (A) is in position it is locked with a detent (B).

Media guide (C)

To help feeding in the medium straight the media guide can be set to one side of the
medium.

In-feed rollers (G)

Another aid to feed-in the medium straight are the in-feed rollers.
These rollers can not be used when processing panels and must be moved out of the way
by pulling down the handle (D). The centre of rotation is the shaft of the lower roller. The
upper roller moves into the table, where it replaces the table element (H).
The upper roller can be lifted from the bottom roller with the handle (E) which rotates an
excentric (F) on the shaft. The flattening allows the upper roller to rest on the bottom roller.
On the right side of the bottom in-feed roller a brake is installed that can be set by a small
handwheel (G). With this brake tension can be set to the medium. Turning the wheel
clockwise sets the tension and counter-clockwise releases the tension.

Image guide (I)

The image guide (I) is fixed to the in-feed table, but can be moved out of the way. It slides
through a groove (K) in the table arm and can be pulled back and stored in the storage
place underneath the table surface.
The storage space for the image guide is covered by a flap (L) when the guide is in use.

Note:

When the image guide is in use and the nip is zero, the optical safety device ‘looks
through’ holes (J) in the guide ends. When the nip is not set to zero the light-beam of
the safety device will be interrupted by the image guide. Therefor the image guide must
not be used (and stored away) when processing panels.
