Solution
Clamp tail does not
insert into tool.
Backing Wheel is touching Tension Wheel.
Verify the return cycle of the clamp cylinder is
unimpeded and clamp cylinder is fully retracted.
Excess material from previous operation
did not fully eject.
Clean tension and backing wheels with wire
brush.
Verify the tension wheel rotates enough to
remove scrap tail by hand.
Tension wheel does
not rotate while
tensioning.
Loose motor shaft collar.
Ensure set screw between motor and gearbox is
tight. Check for foreign object present or other
obstructions.
Pre-set tension is not
reached.
Tension Wheel slipping.
Inspect clamp tail for evidence of slipping. Clean
Tension and Backing Wheels with wire brush. If
slipping persists, replace Tension and/or Backing
Wheel.
Loss of air pressure to Clamp cylinder (<80
PSI).
Verify that air source and fittings are pressurized,
unobstructed, and not leaking.
Drive-train failure.
Contact BAND-IT.
Clamp tail pinched off at tension wheel
due to high pinch force on backing wheel.
Verify air pressure to Clamp Cylinder does not
exceed 80 PSI.
Tension setting too high for
clamp/application.
Ensure tension setting (motor torque) is correct
for clamp type and application.
Backing wheel pin un-lubricated.
Lubricate.
Failure to cut clamp
tail.
Loss of air pressure to cut-off cylinder
