A = Length of platen
along the belt
B = Width of platen
across the belt on the bias
C =
Right angle dimension across the belt, plus
edge overlap
D =
Bias angle |
When selecting a press for your particular application, the following
can be used as a guide for determining the platen length (A) and the
platen width (B), as shown on the diagram on the right.
A -
The platen length (A) is determined by
adding the following amounts to the manufacturers recomended splice
length:
6 inches (150mm) for fabric belt
14 inches (355mm) for steelcord belt.
B -
The width of platen, or dimension B (along
the bias), is determined by taking the belt width and adding:
6 inches (150mm) for fabric belt
8 inches (200mm) for steelcord belt.
To this figure multiply by:
1.05 for 16 deg bias angle
1.07 for 22 deg bias angle
1.117 for 26.5 deg bias angle. |
