13.4 Inspections to be Performed Before and
After Every Maintenance Operation
Before every maintenance operation, Push the main
switch OFF and disconnect. During the maintenance
operation, only properly trained and qualifi ed person-
nel must work on the machine. At the end of every
maintenance operation check the safety devices.
13.2 Tools and Spare Parts Supplied with
the Machine
See Spare Parts Order Section.
13.7 Cleaning of Cutter Blade
Qualif cation 2
Should tape adhesive build-up occur, carefully wipe
clean with oily cloth or brush (Figure 13-1). Oil prevents the build-up of tape adhesive.
(See manual 2.)
13.5 Check Eff ciency of Safety Features
1. Blade guard assembly lower taping head
2. Latching Emergency stop button with mechanical
lock (interrupt supply of electrical power)
3. Push the main switch STOP/OFF
13.6 Cleaning of Machine
Qualif cation 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 over-heating of drive
motors. The dust build up is best removed from the
machine with a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the
number of cartons processed, this cleaning should
be done weekly. Excessive build-up that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be removed with a
damp cloth.
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.
− Allow only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel to operate and service this
equipment.
• To reduce the risk associated with

• To reduce the risk associated with pinch, entanglement and hazardous voltage:
− Turn electrical supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance or
servicing the machine or taping heads
13.10 Drive Belt Tension
Tension adjustment of the drive belts may be required during normal operation. Belt tension must be adequate to
positively move the box through the machine and they 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 3.5 kg [7 lbs]
applied at the midspan, as shown in Figure 13-7, 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 taping head.
To adjust belts, see "Maintenance – Drive Belts", steps 3 and 7.

Intended Use
The intended use of the AccuGlide™ 3 Upper and
Lower Taping Heads - 2 Inch 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™ 3 Upper and Lower Taping Heads
- 2 Inch have been designed and tested for use with

Receiving And Handling
WARNING
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 (TM) 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].
Note – AccuGlide™ 3 Upper and Lower Taping
Heads - 2 Inch is supplied with a buffi ng
arm guard. Adjustments 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 guides should be provided
and the taping head mounted so that the side
plates are 6mm [1/4 inch] maximum away from
the 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 50 mm [2 inch] tape legs if desired
but both upper and lower heads should 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 30.5 m/min [100 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.
AccuGlide 3 Taping Head - 2"
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/Buff ng 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 5mm hex
socket has been provided at the bottom of the
threads in both ends of the shaft. Insert a 5mm
hex key wrench into this socket after removing one
screw to hold the shaft for removal of the second
screw. See Figure 4-2.
