Section 8 – SET UP (cont’d)
11. ADJUST SUCTION CUP ANGLE (IF NEEDED) – The suction cup holds the band as it is cut and keeps it in
place until application. When the knife is open the suction cup is vertical. When the knife is closed, the
suction cup can remain vertical, or it can automatically tilt down at an angle. This angle aids in the smooth
application of the band to the container. An
angle of approximately 15˚ - 20˚ is good for most cases and,
generally, this does not need to be changed.
a.
Press the E-stop and open the guard door.
b. Make sure the knife is in the closed position.
c. Use a 3/16” L-shaped hex key to loosen the two Anchor Block mounting screws. The spring action of
the mechanism will cause the Anchor Block to slide forward, making the suction cup angle 0˚ .
d. Pull the Anchor Block back (or to the left) to increase the angle. The correct angle is determined
through trial and error based on actual test application of bands.
e. When the angle is correct, tighten the Anchor Block mounting screws.
