[Case] Solution to the problem of the thermal printer's ink ribbon sagging.

Custom support/design simplification! By simply changing the torque of the TL, it can be used with various models.

We would like to introduce a case study of installing a commercial thermal printer to solve the problem of the thermal printer's ink ribbon sagging. The issue is that while using a TL to maintain tension to prevent ink ribbon sagging, additional sag occurs due to the pressure applied during printing. The solution was to integrate a torque limiter and a spring-back mechanism into a unit, achieving space-saving and design simplification, and preventing the misassembly of R/L by color-coding the shield (cover). 【Case Overview】 ■ Issue - While using a TL to maintain tension to prevent ink ribbon sagging, additional sag occurs due to the pressure applied during printing. - It is necessary to prepare a separate mechanism to eliminate the additional sag. ■ Effect - Although the tension maintenance varies by model, it is possible to use various models simply by changing the torque of the TL. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
