Figure 3-8 – Box Centering Guide
Important – If operator is not familiar with operation
of this machine, it is recommended that the box
centering and upper frame switches be manually
actuated to understand their function. Connect and
turn air supply "On". Depressing the box centering
switch causes the box centering guides to close,
releasing the switch causes the centering guide to
open. Depressing the upper frame raising switch
causes the upper frame to rise, releasing the switch
causes the upper frame to descend.
1. Connect air and electrical supply.
2. Turn main air valve "On" (SUP) to energize
pneumatic circuit.
3. Turn electrical switch "On" to start drive belts.
4. Feed boxes to machine.
Figure 3-8 Operator pushes a box onto the
infeed conveyor where box depresses box
centering switch. This causes the pneumatically
powered centering guides to move inward,
centering the box.
Note – centering force is adjusted with
"Centering Guide Force Adjust" air regulator.
Figure 3-9 Once the box is centered by the
centering guides, operator continues to push box
against the upper taping head frame raising
switch. This switch pneumatically raises the
upper frame above the box height so operator
can further push the box under the upper drive
belts.
