13-MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS (continued)

13.6 Cleaning of Machine

Qualification / Skill 1

A weekly cleaning with dry rags or diluted detergents is necessary. Cardboard boxes produce a signiﬁ cant quantity of dust and paper chips when processed or handled in case sealing equipment. If this dust is allowed to build up on machine components, it can cause component wear and overheating of drive motors. The dust buildup is best removed from the machine with a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the number of cartons processed, this cleaning should be done weekly. Excessive buildup that cannot be removed by vacuuming should be removed with a damp cloth.

13.7 Cleaning of Cutter Blade

Qualification / Skill 2

- Should tape adhesive buildup occur, carefully

wipe clean with oily cloth or brush. Oil prevents the buildup of tape adhesive (Figure 13-1).

- Worn or damaged cutter blades must be replaced

promptly in order to guarantee a perfect cut of the tape. Lubricate the felt pad on the blade guard without saturating it.

13.8 Lubrication

Most of the machine bearings, including the drive motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and

do not require additional lubricant.

Figure 13-1

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with sharp

blade hazards:

− Keep hands and ﬁ ngers away from tape

cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are extremely sharp.

Figures illustrate the taping head and frame points which should be lubricated every 250 hours of operation. Lubricate the rotating and pivoting points noted by the arrows with a synthetic lubricant. At the same time, a small amount of Silicone should be applied to the end of each spring where the loop is secured to an eyelet

(Figures 13-2).

Note: Wipe off excess Silicone. It will attract

dust which can cause premature equipment wear and jamming. Take care that Silicone is not left on the surface of rollers around which tape is threaded, as it can contaminate

the tape's adhesive.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with mechanical and electrical hazards:

 Turn electrical supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments,

maintenance or servicing the machine or taping heads.

13.11 Box Drive Belt Tension

The two (2) continuously moving drive belts convey boxes through the tape applying mechanism. The box drive belts are powered by an electric gear motor.

Tension adjustment of these belts may be required during normal operation (for Belt Tension Adjustment - refer to Section 11 / Setup and Adjustments). Belt tension must be adequate to positively move the box through the machine and the belts should run fully on the surface of the pulleys at each end of the frame. The idler pulleys on the infeed end are adjusted in or out to provide proper belt tension. Each belt is adjusted separately.

Belt tension is obtained by tightening the adjustment screw so that a moderate pulling force of

3.5kg [7 lbs.] applied at the mid span, as shown in Figure 13-5, will deﬂ ect the belt 25mm [1 inch]. This will assure positive contact between the belt and the drive pulley on the discharge end of the drive assembly.

Installation

- Keep hands and ﬁ ngers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards.

The blades are extremely sharp

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

Receiving And Handling

After the taping head assembly has been unpackaged, examine the unit for damage that might have occurred during transit. If damage is evident, ﬁ le a damage claim immediately with the transportation company and also notify your 3M Representative.

Installation Guidelines

The taping head assembly can be used in converting existing or in custom made machinery. It can be mounted for top taping or bottom taping. Refer to "Box Size Capacities," as well as Figure 2-1 in the Speciﬁ cations section, for the following points in making such installations:

CAUTION

• To reduce risk associated with muscle

strain:

- Use proper body mechanics when

removing or installing taping heads

that are moderately heavy or may be

considered awkward to lift

Important – Always conduct a hazard review to

determine appropriate guarding requirements when the installation is in an application other than 3M-Matic™ equipment

3. Figure 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting

relationship for opposing taping head assemblies to allow taping of box heights down to 90mm [3-1/2 inches]. To tape box heights down to 70mm [2-3/4 inches], the taping heads must be completely staggered so only one tape seal is being applied at one time.

Note – AccuGlide™ 2+ STD Upper Taping

Head is supplied with a bufﬁ ng arm guard. Adjustments to this guard may be required to install the taping head into some older design 3M-Matic™ case sealers.

4. Mounting studs are provided with the taping head, but special installations may require alternate means for mounting.

5. Box hold-down or guide skis should be provided and the taping head mounted so that the side plates are 6mm [1/4 inch] maximum away from the ski surface on which the box rides.

Tape Leg Length

Taping heads are factory set to apply standard 70mm [2-3/4 inch] tape legs. The heads can be converted to apply 50mm [2 inch] tape legs if desired but both upper and lower heads must be set to apply the same tape leg length. See "Adjustments – Changing Tape Leg Length From 70 to 50mm [2-3/4 to 2 Inches]."

1. The box conveying system must positively propel the box in a continuous motion, not exceeding 0.40 m/s [80 feet per minute], past the taping head assembly since the box motion actuates the taping mechanism.

2. If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being used, steps should be taken in the conveyor design to prevent the pusher from contacting the applying or bufﬁ ng roller arms resulting in damage to the taping head.

2+ STD 2" Taping Head - NA

Also, the conveyor speed at which the product moves through the taping heads, affects the leading and trailing tape leg length. See "Adjustments section – Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment."

Tape Width Adjustment

Taping heads are factory set to apply 48mm [2 inch] wide tape. If it is necessary to align the tape or to apply narrower tapes, refer to "Adjustments – Tape Web Alignment" for set-up procedure.

WARNING

Cleaning

Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of dust and paper chips when conveyed through taping heads. If this dust is allowed to build-up on the heads, it can cause wear on the moving parts. Excessive dirt build-up should be wiped off with a damp cloth. Cleaning should be done once per month, depending on the number and type of boxes used. If the boxes used are dirty, or if the environment in which the heads operate is dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be necessary.

Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from taping

heads by blowing it out with compressed air. This can cause the dirt to be blown inside the components onto sliding surfaces. Dirt in these areas can cause serious equipment damage. Never wash down or subject taping heads to conditions causing moisture condensation on components.

Serious equipment damage could result.

Applying/Buffing Roller Replacement

Replacing roller requires removal of shaft and mounting screws. With no area on the shaft to grip, the shaft often turns when attempting to remove the second screw.

To ease removal of second screw, a 4mm hex socket has been provided at the bottom of the threads in both ends of the shaft. Insert a 4mm hex key wrench into this socket after removing one screw to hold the shaft for removal of the second screw (Figure 4-2).

Tape Latch Alignment – Figure 5-1 The Latching tape drum assembly is pre-set to

accommodate 48mm [2 inch] wide tape. The tape drum assembly is adjustable to provide alignment of narrower tapes.

To move the latch to a position that corresponds to a new tape core width (Figure 5-1):

Figure 5-1 – Tape Latch Alignment

1. Remove screw from the latch.

2. Move to the latch to the position that corresponds to the tape core width.

3. Replace screw in the new latch location.

To adjust or center the tape width on the centerline of the taping head, and therefore box center seam,

(Figure 5-2):

1. Loosen the locking hex nut behind tape drum bracket on tape drum shaft. Use an adjustable wrench or 25mm open end wrench.

2. Turn tape drum shaft in or out to center the tape web (use 5mm hex wrench).

3. Tighten locking hex nut to secure the adjustment.

No other components require adjustment for tape web alignment.

Tape Drum Friction Brake – Figure 5-3

The tape drum friction brake on each taping head is pre-set for normal operation to prevent tape roll over travel. Should tension adjustment be required, turn the self-locking nut on the shaft to vary compression of the spring. Turn the nut clockwise to increase the braking force, and counterclockwise to decrease the braking force. Adjust brake to minimum tension to prevent excessive tape roll over travel.
