The Carriage Axis Drive

Figure 2-3. Carriage Axis Drive.

The Carriage Axis Drive moves the printer’s carriage assembly along

the length of the printer. The drive consists of a servo motor, linear

encoder strip, drive belt, and tensioning assembly. These items are

illustrated in Figure 2-3.

The servo motor, drive belt, and tensioning assembly are the compo-

nents that actually drive the carriage assembly. The servo motor drives

the belt back and forth allowing the attached carriage assembly to be

repositioned as required. The tensioning assembly is spring controlled

and allows the proper amount of tension on the belt.

The linear optical encoder strip is used to obtain the printers accuracy

along the axis of the printer. It is made with 150 parallel lines per inch

etched into it. By utilizing two optical encoder sensors that are slightly

off set from each other, and reading the leading and trailing edges of the

lines, a resolution of 600 dpi can be obtained.

The stepper and servo motors are controlled from the main printed

wiring assembly by the microprocessor.
