3.3.3  CK-400 bottom unwinder 

 

The CK-400 unwinder is equipped with tension arm and brake system to ensure a constant 
film tension during unwinding (see fig 3.5). Place the film roll so far on the spindle till the core 
reaches the  cone  on the  end  of  the  spindle.  Now  activate  the  clamp system  by  turning the 
serrated knob to the right. This moves the three ridges out of the spindle to centre and clamp 
the film core. The film has to be placed on the spindle and routed as shown on the routing 
picture. 

In the rest position the spindle is held by the brake system. When the tension arm is pulled 
forward  during  unwinding  the  brake  will  be  released  to  unroll  the  film.  The  tension  arm  is 
connected to a spring,  which brings the arm back to its start position at the end of the film 
advance.  
Each film advance of the machine will pull the tension arm forward. This will be checked by a 
sensor which is placed just behind the tension arm in the blue brake box. If the arm stays at 
its position during transport, the machine will stop with the message “running out of film”. If 
there  is  still  film  on  the  roll,  than  the  core  is  slipping  on  the  spindle  and  the  clamp  system 
needs more friction. Turn the ridged knob more to the right to create more friction to the film 
core.
