Measuring and Adjusting the Winding Torques
The rewinders for the transfer ribbon and the internal rewinder are coupled with slipping clutches to the rewinder
drive. The unwinders of the transfer ribbon are braked with slipping clutches during printing.
The correct setting of the torques of these slipping clutches is necessary for:
•
precise conveyance of the transfer ribbon during label transport
•
the prevention of wrinkles in the feed path of the transfer ribbon
•
high positioning accuracy of the peeled labels.
The winding axes of the rewinders are not actively driven by the belts during label backfeed, but rather solely by the
pull of the print roller. The torque required to disengage the rewinder from the belt drive is implemented via a brake
in the winding reel, which works in both directions. The measured clockwise torque is the sum of the coupling torque
and the torque of the brake. Only the torque of the brake is measured when the winding axis is rotating counter-
clockwise. For this reason, measurement of the torques at the rewinders are required in both directions.
The method of measurement differs for the various types of slipping clutches:
•
Measurement of the winding torques at the transfer ribbon rewinder and unwinder
•
Measurement of the winding torque at the internal rewinder
If the winding torque differs from the set value, it must be adjusted. The procedures for adjusting the winding torques
of the transfer ribbon winders and the internal rewinder are identical

Transfer Ribbon Rewinder and Unwinder

Notice!
The measurement at both rewinders and unwinders can be done in the same manner.
Measurement of the winding torque at the transfer ribbon rewinder and unwinder occurs by determining the pulling
forces on a test collar attached to the winder.
The physical relation between the torque and the pulling force is:
F= M / r
F:
Pulling force [N],
M:
Winding torque [Ncm],
r:
Radius of the test collar (30 mm)
The set values for the winding torque and the resulting pulling force at the test collar are:
