Machine Set-Up

WARNING

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

−Read, understand and follow all safety and operating instructions before operating or servicing the case sealer

The following instructions are presented in the order recommended for setting up and installing the case sealer, as well as for learning the operating functions and adjustments. Following them step by step will result in your thorough understanding of the machine and an installation in your production line that best utilizes the many features built into the case sealer. Refer to Figure 3-1 to identify the various components of the case sealer.

Note – A tool kit consisting of metric open end and hex socket wrenches is provided with the machine. These tools should be adequate to setup the machine, however, other tools supplied by the customer will be required for machine maintenance.

PACKAGING AND SEPARATE PARTS

1.Remove straps and staples and lift fiberboard cover off pallet.

2.Remove protective wrapping around machine.

3.Cut and remove cable tie from electrical conduit.

4.Cut cable ties that secure upper assembly to machine bed on each side.

5.Remove tape drum bracket bolts (4) from top crossbar and install tape drum bracket from parts box as shown in Figure 2-1A.

6.Loosen and move both compression rollers out so they don't catch on side guides.

7.Install height adjustment crank and locking knob on top of left column as shown in

Figure 2-1B. Crank upper assembly up high enough to allow clear access to lower taping head. Remove and discard the two cushion shipping blocks.

8.Using 17 mm wrench, remove nuts from top of side guides. Replace with black knobs from parts box. Figure 2-1C.

9.Cut and remove cable ties on both upper and lower taping heads. (Applying/buffing rollers are held retracted for shipment.)

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are extremely sharp

Hold taping head BUFFING ROLLER and cut and remove cable tie that holds applying/ buffing arms retracted. See Figure 2-1D. Allow buffing/applying arms to extend slowly.

10.Install machine stops onto columns as shown in Figure 2-1E. Use the lowest hole position and bolt into the lowest threaded insert on the column.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)

Figure 2-1 – 700a-s Frame Set-Up

11.Check for free action of both upper and lower taping heads.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are extremely sharp

Push buffing roller into head to check for free, smooth action of taping heads.

12.Ensure that the tape drum bracket assembly, located on the lower taping head, is mounted straight down, as shown in Figure 2-2A. The tape drum bracket assembly can be pivoted to provide tape roll clearance in certain cases.

13.Remove fasteners that secure case sealer legs to pallet.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with muscle strain:

−Use the appropriate rigging and material handling equipment when lifting or repositioning this equipment

−Use proper body mechanics when removing or installing taping heads that are moderately heavy or may be considered awkward to lift

14.Remove the machine from the pallet and move it into position.

Important – Whenever the machine is lifted with a fork truck, insure that the forks span completely across the machine frame and do not contact any wiring or mechanism under the machine frame. In some cases the lower taping head may need to be removed to avoid damage.

15.Continue with the remainder of the Installation and Set-Up procedure through the end of the

11 topic.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)

MACHINE BED HEIGHT

Adjust machine bed height. The case sealer is equipped with four adjustable legs that are located at the corners of the machine frame. The legs can be adjusted to obtain different machine bed heights from 610 mm [24 inch] minimum to 890 mm [35 inch] maximum.

Note – Minimum machine bed height can be reduced to 520 mm [20.5 inch] by moving outer columns up one set of mounting holes. However, this change also increases the minimum box height of 120 mm [4.8 inch] to 165 mm [6.5 inch]. (See "Special Set-Up Procedure – Box/Machine Bed Height Range".)

Refer to Figure 2-2C and set the machine bed height as follows:

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with muscle strain:

−Use the appropriate rigging and material handling equipment when lifting or repositioning this equipment

−Use proper body mechanics when removing or installing taping heads that are moderately heavy or may be considered awkward to lift

1.Use appropriate material handling equipment and blocking techniques to raise the machine frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

2.Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 1.25 socket head screws in one leg (use M6 hex wrench). Adjust the leg length for the desired machine bed height. Retighten the two screws to secure the leg. Adjust all four legs equally.

OUTBOARDTAPEROLLMOUNTING (LowerTapingHead)

Remove the tape drum bracket assembly, spacer and fasteners from the lower taping head. Install and secure on the infeed end of the lower frame, as shown in Figure 2-2B.
