2.7 Film / Bag Threading
Since the Ti-1000 can be mounted to virtually any bagging machine, threading requirements will change
according to each configuration of machine and special mounting requirements.
For autobagging equipment, the threading requirements are fairly consistent from one model to another.
(Fig. 2-3, Threading Diagrams)
T-1000 / Ti-1000 Threading Procedures: Roller Shaft
The first step to threading the machine is to place a roll of bags on the shaft. Remove one of the chucks
from the shaft by loosening the chuck knob and slide the roll of bags over the shaft, locking the chuck
pin in the small hole in the core plug. Retighten the chuck knob. Replace the second chuck also
locking the chuck pin to the core plug. Remove the tape from the bags so that the bags fall freely and
hang down from the top of the roll towards you or at the "front" of the roll. Insert the right side of the
roll shaft in the right side of the shaft holder (circular holder). Insert the left side of the roll shaft in the
left slot of the shaft holder (square open holder) (Fig 2-4).
Center Roll of Bags on Shaft
Center the bags on the shaft by loosening the chuck knobs and sliding the roll of bags along with the
chucks to the desired location. Ensure the chuck pins remain in the core plug holes when siding left or
right.
Rollers
Pull the bags over the roller immediately above the dancer assembly, then down between the roll of bags
and the outer dancer roller. Pull the bags around the outer dancer roller, over the rear
guide roller on the
Ti-1000. Before threading the bags beneath the pinch roller and the print head , first pull the web of
bags through the handle off to the side of the print head assembly. Then slide the web of bags under the
print head . Then thread the web under the alignment roller and into the bag of the T-1000. (Fig. 2-3).
Lower Frame Handle
From the front of the T-1000, lower the frame by slowly pulling the frame handle forward and
downward. Carefully reach inside and pull the bags through the front of the T-1000 so that one bag is
centered on the roller. Ensure only one (1) bag extends through the front of the machine. (Fig 2-5)
!
Caution: Roller "Fingers" may be sharp. To avoid injury when reaching into the T-1000, ensure
that you do not come in contact with the roller "fingers."
Slowly raise the frame by pulling forward and upward on the handle while holding the bag in position.
When the handle locks into position, a
portion (approximately 1 inch) of one bag should be extended
from the front of the machine
(Fig 2-5).
