PNEUMATIC CONNECTION

Important: Use care when working with
compressed air.

The case sealer requires a 5.2 bar gauge
pressure 110 liter/min [75 PSIG], @ 21°C, 1.01
bar [3.75 SCFM] compressed air supply. As
shown in Figure 3-1, an on/off valve, pressure
regulator, and filter are provided to service the air
supply.

Note: A precision regulator is used to balance
the top drive assembly. Due to the self­relieving feature of this regulator, a small
amount of air continually vents to the atmo­sphere. This is normal and amounts to
approximately 3 liter/min. [0.1 SCFM].

1. Read and remove safety tag from pneumatic
"On/Off" valve.

2. Connect the main air supply line to the inlet
side of the On/Off valve using the barbed
fitting and hose clamp provided. The
customer supplied air hose
(8 mm [5/16 inches] Inner Diameter) must be
clamped tightly to the barbed fitting.

4. Raise the upper drive assembly to full Up position
by turning the drive assembly raising switch
clockwise.

If another type of connector is desired, the
barbed fitting can be removed and replaced
with the desired 1/4-18 NPT threaded
connector.

Always turn the air valve Off when the air
supply line is being connected or
disconnected.

3. Turn the air supply on by turning the air On/Off
valve to On.

Note – The air valve has provisions for lock
out/tag out according to plant regulations.

Figure 3-4—Air Regulator, Centering Guides

Upper Drive Assembly Actuator Switch

(Figure 3-2)
This switch, when touched by the leading edge
of a box , pneumatically raises the upper drive
assembly to allow insertion of the box under
the drive belts. As the box moves under the
switch, releasing it, the upper drive assembly
descends on the box and the drive belts
convey the box through the machine. When
switch is turned, the upper drive assembly
rises. When the switch is released, the upper
drive assembly descends to its rest position.

Centering Guide Switch (Figure 3-7)
This pneumatic switch controls the box
centering guides. When switch is activated by
a box entering the case sealer, the centering
guides close (centering the box), and released
(after box passes over switch), the guides
open.

Air Pressure Regulator, Centering Guide
Force Adjustment (Figure 3-4)

This regulator is used to adjust centering
guides according to weight of boxes. Pressure
should be adequate to center boxes, but low
enough to allow easy pushing of boxes under
taping head.

Air Pressure Regulator, Top Drive Assembly
Force Adjustment (Figure 3-5)

Set nominally to control the "down" movement of
top drive assembly and the pressure exerted
against the box as shown in Figure 3-5. The
regulator setting is changed as necessary for the
boxes being sealed to provide adequate drive belt
pressure against the box to positively convey the
boxes through the machine. If the boxes stop or
hesitate while being conveyed, decrease the

regulator pressure. This increases the drive belt
force on the box for more friction between the box
and drive belts. Adjust the pressure setting as
necessary to get continuous movement of boxes
through the machine.

To adjust the regulator setting, pull the knob
outward, rotate the knob to the desired setting.
Push the knob inward to lock it and prevent
unintentional adjustment.

Figure 3-5—Air Regulator/Gauge, Top Drive

Assembly

18

Operation (Continued)

For boxes which are fully packed with products
that support the top flaps, the adjustment of this
regulator is not critical since the boxes can
support the pressure of the upper frame (drive
belts) at a wide range of regulator settings.
However, if under-filled or fragile boxes are
sealed, this regulator can be used to set the
upper frame pressure to a reduced level that is
still adequate to positively convey the box and to
prevent damage of boxes. The regulator setting
can be locked by pushing the knob inward.

Note: A precision regulator is used to
balance the top drive assembly. Due to
the self relieving feature of this regulator a
small amount of air will continually vent to
the atmosphere. This is normal and
amounts to approximately 3 liter/min

[0.1 SCFM ].

Main Air Pressure Gauge (Figure 3-2)

Indicates main air regulator pressure setting. Air
regulator should be adjusted so gauge reads 5.2
bar gauge pressure [75 PSIG].

Pneumatic Valve, Drive Assembly Raising
Switch (Figure 3-6)

The Pneumatic Valve Drive Assembly Raising
Switch is used to hold the upper drive assembly
to its fully raised position for tape threading and
maintenance.

To raise the drive assembly, turn the switch to
the right. To lower the drive assembly to its fully
lowered position, turn the switch to the left.

WARNING

• To reduce the 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.

Theory of Operation

Figure 3-7—Centering Guide Switch

CAUTION

• To reduce the risk associated with pinches

and entanglement hazards:

− Always feed boxes into the machine by

pushing only from the end of the box.

− Keep hands clear of the upper head support

assembly as boxes are transported through
the machine.

• To reduce the risk associated with pinches

and impact hazards:

− Keep away from the pneumatically controlled

upper drive assembly and box centering
guides when air and electric supplies are on.

The air supply powers movement of the centering
guides and upper drive assembly to automatically
adjust the case sealer to the box size being sealed
as follows:

1. A box centering switch in the center of the
infeed roller conveyor actuates movement of the
centering guides. When the operator pushes a
box onto the infeed conveyor, as shown in
Figure 3-7, the lever is depressed causing the
air cylinder powered centering guides to move
inward, centering the box.

2. Once the box is centered by the guides, the
operator pushes the box against the raising
switch on the upper drive assembly, as shown in
Figure 3-8, two air cylinders raise the upper drive
assembly. The upper taping head will continue
to rise above the box height so the operator can
insert the box underneath the upper drive belts.

CAUTION

• To reduce the risk associated with pinches

and entanglement hazards:

− Keep hands clear of the upper head support

assembly as boxes are transported through
the machine

Figure 3-8—Upper Drive Assembly Actuator
Switch

Operation (Continued)

CAUTION

• To reduce the risk associated with pinches

and entanglement hazards:

− Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and jewelry

away from moving belts and taping heads

3. Once the box is pushed under the upper taping
head, the upper drive assembly actuator switch
is releases to lower the upper drive assembly to
descend onto the box top, as shown in
Figure 3-9, allowing the drive belts to convey the
box through the upper and lower taping heads for
application of the tape seals.

4. As the box is conveyed through the machine, the
centering guide switch is released causing the
centering guides to return to their full open
position, ready for insertion of the next box.

5. Once the box is conveyed from under the upper
taping head, the upper drive assembly descends
to its rest position, ready for insertion of the next
box.

At this point it is recommended that the centering
guides and upper drive assembly switches be
manually actuated to better understand their
functions. Depress the centering guide switch to
close the guides. Release the switch to open the
guides. Depress the upper drive assembly raising
switch to raise the upper drive assembly. Release
the upper drive assembly raising switch to lower the
drive assembly.

Figure 3-9—Box Conveyed Through Machine

Machine or taping head adjustments are described
in "Adjustments" Section I for machine or Section
II for taping heads.

Note: Box drive motors are designed to run at

a temperature somewhat above ambient
room temperature. A motor may feel hot
to the touch during normal operation.

Box Sealing

1. Turn main air valve to (On).

Important: Before turning drive belts on, be sure
no tools or other objects are on the conveyor bed.

2. Turn the switch on side of machine frame to start
drive belts.

3. Feed boxes to machine. Always allow previous
box to exit machine BEFORE feeding next box.

4. Turn air and electrical supplies "Off" when
machine is not in use.

5. Reload and thread tape as necessary.

6. Be sure machine is cleaned and lubricated
according to recommendations in "Maintenance"
section of this manual.

21

Maintenance

The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble
free service. The machine performs best when it
receives routine maintenance and cleaning.
Machine components that fail or wear excessively
should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent
damage to other portions of the machine or to the
product.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with

mechanical and electrical hazards:

− Turn electrical and air supply off and

disconnect before performing any
adjustments, maintenance, or servicing the
machine or taping heads.

• To reduce the risk associated with impact

hazards:

− Always use appropriate supporting means

when working under the upper drive
assembly.

Lubrication

The machine bearings, including the drive motor, are
permanently lubricated and sealed and do not require
additional lubricant.

Cleaning

Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from
the machine by blowing it out with
compressed air. This can cause the dirt to
be blown inside the motor and onto sliding
surfaces which may cause premature
equipment wear. Never wash or subject
equipment to conditions causing moisture
condensation on components. Serious
equipment damage could result.

Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to buildup on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust buildup can
best be removed from the machine by a shop vacuum.
Depending on the number and type of boxes sealed in
the case sealer, this cleaning should be done approxi­mately once per month. If the boxes sealed are dirty,
or if the environment in which the machine operates is
dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be
necessary. Excessive dirt buildup that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be wiped off with a
damp cloth.

22

Maintenance (Continued)

WARNING

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

− Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or

servicing the machine or taping heads

Circuit Breaker

The case sealer is equipped with a circuit breaker
which trips if the motors are overloaded. Located
inside the electrical enclosure on the side of the
machine frame. The circuit breaker has been preset
at the factory to 4.5 amps and requires no further
maintenance.

If circuit is overloaded and circuit breaker trips:

1. Determine cause of overload and correct.

2. Rotate the switch mechanism to the "O" (Off)
position then to "I" (On). If circuit breaker will
not reset, wait 2 minutes and retry.

Knife Replacement, Taping Head

See Section II, "Maintenance—Blade (Knife)
Replacement."

Box Drive Belt Replacement

3M recommends replacing drive belts in pairs,
especially if belts are unevenly worn.

Adjustments

WARNING

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

− Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or

servicing the machine or taping heads.

Box Drive Belt Tension

The four continuously moving drive belts convey boxes through the tape applying mechanism. The box drive belts
are powered by electric motors.

Tension adjustment of these belts may be required during normal operation. 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 3.5 kg [7 lbs.]
applied at the midspan, as shown in Figure 5-1, will deflect the belt 25 mm [1 inch]. This ensures positive contact
between the belt and the drive pulley on the discharge end of the drive assembly. Figure 5-1 illustrates the lower
drive belts. The upper drive belts are adjusted in the same manner.

Figure 5-1—Box Drive Belt Tension Adjustment

25

Adjustments (Continued)

WARNING

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

− Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or

servicing the machine or taping heads.

Refer to Figures 5-2 and 5-3 and adjust belt tension as follows:

1. Using a 17 mm open end wrench, loosen, but do not remove, the M10 lock nut. Refer to Figures 4-2 and 4-3.

2. Reset the tension on the drive belts as needed. Using a 6 mm long shank hex wrench (approximately 9 inches
[230 mm] long), adjust the M8 tension screws in (clockwise) to increase tension or out (counterclockwise) to
decrease tension.

3. Tighten the M10 lock nut to secure the tension setting.

WARNING

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

− Allow only properly trained and qualified personnel to operate and service this equipment.

− Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or

servicing the machine or taping heads.

Centering Rail Timing Adjustment

The centering rails position and hold the box in the
center of the infeed conveyor until it contacts the drive
belts. A flow control valve located at the front of the
machine determines the amount of time that these
guides are in contact with the box. This valve is preset
at the factory. However, changes to the plant air
supply and adjustments to the case sealer pneumatic
system for your specific application may alter perfor­mance of the centering rails.

The centering rails should close against the box until
the drive belts engage and then release the box.
Indications of improper operation include the rails
moving away from the box before the drive belts pull the
box through the machine (short box applications) and
the rails moving inward after the box passes through
the centering rails.

To adjust the Centering Rail timing, do the following:

1. Turn off the air supply and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove Entrance conveyor (if installed).

3. Remove Infeed Frame Cover Plate.

4. Turn the Flow Regulator knob (Figure 5-5) clock­wise slightly to increase the dwell time or coun­terclockwise slightly to decrease the dwell time.

5. Replace cover temporarily to prevent access to
moving parts.

6. Turn on the air supply and plug in the power cord.

7. Run a box through the machine and observe the
operation.

8. Repeat steps 1–7 until the centering rails operate
properly.

9. Replace Infeed Frame Cover plate and Entrance
conveyor (if installed).

If any part is defective within this warranty period, your exclusive remedy and 3M’s and seller’s sole obligation shall be,
at 3M’s option, to repair or replace the part. 3M must receive actual notice of any alleged defect within a reasonable time
after it is discovered, but in no event shall 3M have any obligation under this warranty unless it receives such notice within
five (5) business days after the expiration of the warranty period. All notices required hereunder shall be given to 3M solely
through the 3M-Matic™ Helpline (800-328-1390). To be entitled to repair or replacement as provided under this warranty,
the part must be returned as directed by 3M to its factory or other authorized service station designated by 3M. If 3M
is unable to repair or replace the part within a reasonable time after receipt thereof, 3M, at its option, will replace the
equipment or refund the purchase price. 3M shall have no obligation to provide or pay for the labor required to remove
any part or equipment or to install the repaired or replacement part or equipment. 3M shall have no obligation to repair

Intended Use

The AccuGlide™ 2+ STD 2 Inch Upper and Lower
Taping Heads applies a "C" clip of Scotch

®

pressure-sensitive film box sealing tape to the top and
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
replacing 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

pressure-

sensitive film box sealing tape.

Installation

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.

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,
file 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 Specifications section, for the following points
in making such installations:

CAUTION

• To reduce the 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.

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.

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

The AccuGlide™ 2+ STD Upper Taping Head is
supplied with a buffing 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 an
alternate method of mounting.

5. Box hold-down or guide skis should be provided
and the taping head mounted so that the side
plates are 6 mm [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 70 mm
[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 must be set to apply the same
tape leg length. Refer to "Adjustments—Changing
Tape Leg Length From 70 to 50 mm [2 3/4 to 2
inches]" for more information

The conveyor speed at which the product moves
through the taping heads affects the leading and
trailing tape leg length. Refer to"Adjustments—
Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment" for more
information.

Tape Width Adjustment

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
buffing roller arms resulting in damage to the
taping head.

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

Maintenance (Continued)

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:

− Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,

maintenance, or servicing the taping heads.

− Never attempt to work on the taping head or load tape while the box drive system is running.

• 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.

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 buildup 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 operating
environment is dusty, more frequent cleaning 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 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 4 mm hex
socket has been provided at the bottom of the
threads in both ends of the shaft. Insert a 4 mm hex
wrench into this socket after removing one screw to
hold the shaft for removal of the second screw as
shown in Figure 4-3.

Adjustments

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with shear,

pinch, and entanglement hazards:

− Turn air and electrical supplies off on

associated equipment before performing any
adjustments, maintenance, or servicing the
machine or taping heads.

− Never attempt to work on the taping head or

load tape while the box drive system is
running.

Tape Latch Alignment

The Latching tape drum assembly is pre-set to
accommodate 48 mm [2 inch] wide tape. The tape
drum assembly is adjustable to provide alignment of
narrower tapes as shown in Figure 5-1.

To adjust the latch to a new tape core width, do the
following:

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 the box center seam as shown
in Figure 5-2, do the following:

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

2. Using a 5 mm hex wrench, turn tape drum shaft in
or out to center the tape web as shown in Figure
5-2.

3. Tighten locking hex nut to secure the adjustment.

Tape Drum Friction Brake

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 as shown in Figure 5-3. Adjust brake to
minimum tension to prevent excessive tape roll over
travel.

Note: Excessive braking force will cause poor
tape application and may lead to tape tabbing on
the trailing tape leg.

load tape while the box drive system is
running.

Applying Mechanism Spring

To obtain access to the spring, remove the taping
head cover (four mounting screws). Replace cover
when finished.

The applying mechanism spring, shown in
Figures 5-4A and 5-4B, controls applying and buffing
roller pressure on the box and returns the
mechanism to the reset position. The spring
pressure is pre-set, as shown in Figure 5-3A for
normal operation, but is adjustable.

If a tape gap appears on the trailing surface of the
box increase spring pressure. If the front of the box
is being crushed by the applying roller decrease
spring pressure.

Figure 5-4—Applying Mechanism Spring

To adjust the spring pressure, remove the spring end
loop from the spring holder and place loop in other
holes provided, as shown in Figure 5-3B.

One-Way Tension Roller

The one-way tension roller is set at the factory.
When replacing this assembly, the roller must have

0.5 kg [1 lb.] minimum tangential force when turning.

To adjust tension, do the following:

1. Wrap a non-adhesive cord or small strap 4-6 turns
around the tension roller as shown in Figure 5-5.

2. Attach a spring scale to the end of the cord or
strap.

3. Turn the adjusting nut with the socket wrench
provided, until a force of approximately 0.5 kg to

0.9 kg [1 to 2 lbs.] is required to turn the roller by
pulling on the spring scale.
