1. Description and Specifications

1-1. Intended Use

The 3M-Matic Model 800rf Type 39800 Automatic Random Case Sealer with AccuGlide II Taping Heads is designed to accept filled, regular slotted containers from an existing conveyor, fold the top flaps, and apply a C clip of Scotch brand Pressure-Sensitive Film Box Sealing Tape to the top and bottom center seams. Two side-drive belt assemblies convey the cases through the machine.

The 800rf Case Sealer is to be used with infeed and exit conveyors supplied by the customer. Do not attempt to run the case sealer without infeed and exit conveyors in place.

ü Note

In this manual, the end of the case sealer that accepts cases for taping is the infeed end. The end of the case sealer where the taped cases leave is the exit end. The side containing the Electrical Control Panel and the Pneumatic Control Panel is the front or left side of the machine, and the opposite side is the back or right side of the machine.

Figure 1-1 shows the 800rf Case Sealer with callouts to identify its major components.

Description and Specifications 3M-Matic 800rf Case Sealer

1-2. Description

The 800rf Case Sealer is controlled from two operator control panels located on the front left side of the case sealer. These control panels (Electrical Control Panel and Pneumatic Control Panel) have the most-used controls within easy reach of the operator. The case sealer is microprocessor-based and firmware controlled to maintain maximum and precise control over all operations within the case sealer.

The case sealer may be operated in Random, Fixed, or Bypass mode. A selector switch is located on the top of the Electrical Control Panel.

Caution

Never change operating modes while a box is in the case sealer. Change modes only after a box exits the case sealer and before the next box enters the case sealer.

• In Random mode, the case sealer automatically

adjusts itself for a wide range of case sizes, providing a tape seal on the top and bottom of the cartons. Random mode is considered the standard operating mode.

• In Fixed mode, the case sealer runs multiple

cartons of the same (fixed) size, providing a tape seal on the top and bottom of the cartons.

• In Bypass mode, the case sealer passes certain

containers through the machine, providing a tape seal only on the bottom of the containers. The top of these containers is not sealed.

2-3. Setup Procedure

2-3-1. Case Sealer Bed Height

The legs on the case sealer can be adjusted to obtain different bed heights from the factory set-point. The bed height can be set from 25-7/8 inches [657 mm] minimum through 32 inches [815 mm] maximum. Set the bed height as follows:

1. Block up the case sealer frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

2. Using a 6 mm hex key wrench, loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 16 mm socket-head cap screws in one leg. Refer to Figure 2-2.

2-3-2. Rear Emergency Stop Switch

Installation

A latching Emergency Stop (E-Stop) switch is electrically connected to the case sealer, but not mounted to the machine. Install this E-Stop switch on the rear side of the case sealer.

1. Remove the protective wrap from the E-Stop switch and bracket assembly.

2. Secure the E-Stop switch bracket to the rear sliding door support bracket with the socket-head screw provided. Refer to Figure 2-3.

2-3-3. Warning Beacon Installation

A red warning beacon is electrically connected to the case sealer, but not mounted to the machine. Install this warning beacon on top of the frame support member to which it is connected.

1. Remove the protective wrap from the warning beacon and L-bracket assembly.

2. Remove the top hex-head screw from the frame support member. Refer to Figure 2-4.

3. Secure the warning beacon L-bracket to the frame support member with the screw just removed.

2-3-4. Pneumatic Connection

The case sealer requires a compressed air supply of 75  140 PSIG [5.2  9.5BAR] 7.0 SCFM [11.89m

C, 101kPa] maximum at maximum cycle rate. The

21 optimum operating set-point on the gauge is 95  100 PSIG. As shown in Figure 2-5, an On/Off Valve, Main Air Pressure Regulator, and Filter are provided to service the air supply.

Connect the air supply line to the Main Air Pressure Regulator On/Off Valve.

ü Note

2-3-7. Electrical Connection

Caution

Before making the electrical connection, make sure that the red Latching Emergency Stop switch located on the Electrical Control Panel is depressed. Also ensure that all packaging materials and tools are removed from the case sealer.

The case sealer and its Electrical Control Panel are wired for 208  240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3-phase power and a power cord is connected. However, no power plug is supplied. The power cord can be wired directly into a power distribution box or a plug can be installed. The recommended plug is a L15-20, 4-pin twist-lock. Possible wire code combinations are:

Black  Phase X or Black  Phase X White  Phase Y Brown  Phase Y Red  Phase Z Blue  Phase Z Green  Ground Yel/Grn  Ground

1. Turn the electrical power on by rotating the Main Disconnect switch CW. Refer to Figure 2-8. The white POWER indicator lights to show that power is available. Refer to Figure 2-7.

2. The red lights on the Electrical Control Panel indicate a Fault/E-Stop switch condition. Turn the red latching E-Stop switch CW to release the switch. The red FAULT and E-STOP/ SLIDING DOOR indicators should turn off.

3. Press the blue RESET button on the Electrical Control Panel. You should observe air-powered movement of the Upper Head Assembly and the Rear Flap Folding Arm, which moves to an upright (extended) position.

4. Press the green START button on the Electrical Control Panel. Pressing this button applies electrical power to the two side belt drive motors and the infeed roller drive motors. The RUN indicator should light.

Viewing the case sealer from its infeed end, you should observe the right/rear drive belt turning in a CW direction and the left/front drive belt turning in a CCW direction. With the belts rotating as described, they will draw a carton into the machine. This is the normal operating condition.

ü Note

If the drive belts rotate in reverse, interchange any two of the black, white, or red 208  220 VAC wires at the plug or power distribution box. This will restore the motors to the correct rotation.
