Film Transport parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Supply Spindle 1× Driven spindle accepting 16 mm and 35 mm open reels and ANSI cartridges.
2 Take-Up Spindle 1× Motorised reel that winds scanned film under controlled torque.
3 Servo Motor 4 parts 2× Spindle drive motors
4 Tension Dancer Arm 2× Sprung arm whose position feeds back to the servos to hold constant film tension and protect brittle film.
5 Guide Roller 6× Polished crowned roller that tracks the film through the gate without touching the emulsion image area.
6 Encoder 1× Film speed/position encoder
7 Auto-Load Mechanism 1× Feeder that threads the film leader through the gate onto the take-up reel automatically.
