Mattress Size Adjustments
The 1390HCB machine is designed to automatically detect and adjust itself for one of the two basic bed
lengths: 75” and 80”. To detect the bed length, the machine uses one proximity sensor which is mounted
on a rectangular guide rail. The array is mounted on the right side of the Input frame, under the table,
near the front of the machine (right illustration). The sensor detects the position of the (right) movable
Input frame during the bed alignment and locating cycle.
Before this machine is shipped, it is adjusted and tested according the customer bed specifications and
should not need to be readjusted. If the parameters of the bed change after installation and it is necessary
to readjust these arrays, it is very easy to do so. Simply loosen the screw that clamps the proximity
sensor mounting block and move in the desired direction. If you want to be able to detect a smaller bed
in the Input, move the sensor toward the center of the machine and vice versa. It works the same way if
you want to stop the adjustable Output Seal bar frame.
Maintenance
Under normal operating circumstances, the 1390B machine does not require much maintenance. The
following list outlines the normal machine maintenance that should be performed on periodic bases to
keep the machine in a good working order:
Daily
Clean the three Seal bars at least once a day, preferably at the beginning of the first shift, before the seal
bars begin to heat up. To clean the Seal bars, use a soft cloth and WD-40 as the solvent. Use extra
caution and make sure Seal bars are not hot or heating up before cleaning. Also, use extra care not to
scratch the Seal bar’s anti-stick coating. If the coating surface is scratched to the bare metal, the plastic
film may stick to it, which in turn may result in poor seal quality and /or machine down time.
Visually inspect PTFE tape (covering the lower seal bars) for any cuts and delaminating from the lower
seal bar. If necessary, replace the tape.
During machine operation, listen for any unusual noises and watch for any uncommon machine behavior
For example: jerky cross seal bar up/down movement, squeaky belt drive, etc.
Clean the machine and remove any plastic film scraps or other debris. They may cause mechanism to
jam and potentially fail.
