Applying Reinforcement Wraps
Automatic operation can be paused in order to apply reinforcement wraps to an additional top
sheet or corner boards on the product. Follow the procedure below.
1. Press the “Start” button as normal to initiate cycle.
2. As the carriage travels up, switch the “Turntable” selector from Auto to Manual. Both the
turntable and the film carriage will pause.
3. Apply the top sheet or corner boards to the product.
4. Press the “Start” button to resume cycle. Leave the “Turntable” selector switch in Manual
position. The turntable will now rotate in Manual mode.
5. Once the reinforcement wraps have been applied, switch the “Turntable” selector switch
from Manual to Auto. The turntable will pause.
6. Press the “Start” button again to complete the automatic operation.
If the “Turntable” selector is switched from Auto to Manual while the carriage is traveling down, the
carriage will travel back up and apply the top wraps before completing the wrap cycle. This to
ensure the top sheet applied during the manual operation is properly wrapped into the product.
Automatic Film Cut
The automatic film cut feature is always enabled in the automatic mode. On the last wrap
revolution, the puncture solenoid, located on the film carriage, engages, tearing a small hole in the
film. The powered film feed motor stops to allow the film force-to-load to increase the turntable
rotates to its home position. The punctured film is stretched, until eventually cut.
