ERATION
Outfeed Accelerator Unit
The unit has been manufactured to withstand heavy applications and has been designed to have a
long life. It consists of a roller, driven by an electric motor, under the control of a guillotine.
Fig 2.2 Identification of Main Parts
Two pressure heads are fitted above the roller, with their wheels running under pressure against the
driven roller surface. This pressure can be altered by adjusting the spring tension in the pressure
heads.
The two pressure heads are mounted on a shaft which has an eccentric centre. This can be rotated
such that the shaft moves eccentrically, which in turn moves the pressure heads forwards or
backwards around the surface of the driven roller. This changes the point of contact at which each
head wheel touches the roller surface, so changing the angle at which the paper is ejected from the
unit.
The pressure heads can also be moved laterally along the eccentric shaft to cater for different
widths of paper.
Operation with an Ancillary Unit
The unit is supplied with mains power from the guillotine by interconnecting it with the mains lead
supplied.
