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.

Height
Adjustment
Handle

13.9 Lubrication Products

• Synthetic Silicone Spray may be used on Lead

Screw and Adjustment Handle (Figure 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

servicing the machine or taping heads.

13.10 Drive Belt Replacement

Drive Belts

1. Using a 17mm hex wrench, loosen
(counter-clockwise) but do not remove
the bolt as shown in Figure 13-4.

2. Using a 6mm allen wrench, loosen
(counter-clockwise) tension screw until all belt
tension is removed (as shown in Figure 13-5).

3. Pull out belt splicing pin.

WARNING

Figure 13-4—Loosen Roller Bolt

Tip: The old belt may be used to install the

new belt. Attach the new belt to the old
belt and pull the new belt into the position
while simultaneously removing the old belt.

4. If using the old belt, continue with the next step.
If the old belt cannot be used to install a new
belt, remove the Belt Drive Cover with a Phillips
Screwdriver (Figure 13-6).

5. Place new belt over pulleys with
laced splice at top.

6. Insert splicing pin.

Important: Pin must not extend beyond

edge of belt.

13-MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS (continued)

13.11 Box Drive Belt Tension and

Drive Pulley Rings

Before installing a new belt, check the orange plastic
drive pulley rings for wear. If torn, broken, or worn
smooth, replace the rings (Figure 13-7).

Figure 13-7

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.

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 13-8, 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.

Intended Use

The intended use of the AccuGlide™ 2+ STD 2
Inch Upper and Lower Taping Heads is to apply

®

a "C" clip of Scotch

pressure-sensitive fi lm box
sealing tape to the top and/or bottom center seam of
regular slotted containers.

These taping heads are incorporated into most
standard 3M-Matic™ case sealers. The compact

size and simplicity of the taping head also makes
it suitable for mounting in box conveying systems
other than 3M-Matic™ case sealers. This includes
replacement of other types of taping, gluing or
stapling heads in existing case sealing machines.
The AccuGlide™ 2+ STD Taping Heads have been
designed and tested for use with Scotch® pressure­sensitive fi lm box sealing tape.

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).
