Machine Overview
The design of these machines emphasizes
performance and long service life. The
cylinder, shell, and main body panels are
fabricated of stainless steel.
These machines feature the V-Series
microcomputer which offers preprogrammed
cycles and programming versatility in
the field.
The AC inverter drive control provides
programmable motor speeds, using a single
motor. This makes it possible to achieve
ultra-high extract speeds.
The cylinder is supported by two deep groove,
sealed, permanently lubricated bearings. The
cylinder is constructed with lifters or ribs that
lift the laundry from the bath solution when the
cylinder rotates at slow speed and then allow it
to tumble back into the bath. This mechanical
action accomplishes the cleaning function.
The cylinder is perforated, allowing the water
to drain from within during the wash and
extract steps.
Water enters the machine through
electromechanical water valves, which
are controlled by the V-computer. The
computer also controls the supply dispenser,
drain, and door lock, and selects water levels
according to the programmed cycle.
Electrical controls for the machine are housed
in a separate enclosure located underneath the
top cover of the machine.
The supply dispenser is located on top of the
machine. The supply dispenser compartments
are accessed by lifting the rubber cover.
These compartments accept powder or liquid
supplies. Each compartment is controlled
independently by the V-computer, and is
energized independently of other
compartments.
A door-lock system prevents opening of the
door when water is in the machine. It also
prevents operation of the machine when
the door is open. The door lock system
contains the door-lock microswitch, output
voltage interlock magnetic switch, and the
door unlock solenoid.
