The drum cleaning unit has two devices to detect when the drum lubricant (provided on the lubricant bar to prevent deterioration of drum surface) is depleted.
Lubricant End Detection Specifications
Status | Content |
|---|---|
Lubricant mechanical detection | Detects a mechanical feeler pressing against the bar |
Lubricant near-end | After the mechanical feeler is detected, another 10 km (A4 LEF or about 25 kP) of machine running is allowed, and then a message on the operation panel alerts the operator that the lubricant bar is nearly gone. |
Lubricant end | The lubricant end alert is issued 40 km (A4 LEF or about 100 kP) of machine usage past the appearance of the near-end alert and the machine stops. The machine alerts the operator that the lubricant bar must be replaced. |
- The lubricant end sensors [A] are mounted at the top of the unit behind the lubricant blade.
- One is mounted at the front, and another at the rear, and either one can trigger a near-end alert.
