The option has two setting, fix or adjustable. When set to
fix, the turntable speed is constant and can not be change
by the knob(knob is inactive). When set to adjustable table
speed knob is active and can be used to control the speed
of the table during the operation mode.
IMPORTANT:
TURNTABLE SPEED NOT TO BE ADJUSTED DURING
THE WRAP CYCLE.
FILM TENSION
Film tension may be adjusted using the film tension control
knob (see
Figure 5 ). The range of tension is from 0 to 10 (0
to 4 the low range, 4 to 8 the most selected range for most of
the films used by our customers, 8 to 10 as a very high range
which may break some types of films).
Figure 5
CARRIAGE SPEED (Film Overlap)
The carriage speed knob can be used to control the
amount of film overlap apply during the wrap. The
potentiometer has settings from 0 to 10, the higher the
settings the faster the speed. High settings apply less film
overlap due to faster carriage speed. Low settings apply
more film overlap due to lower carriage speed.
This machine is equipped with independent speed
adjustement for travel up & down. (see
Figure 5 )
MACHINE WRAPPING TEST
Notice
: It is advisable to test-run the equipment with
several pallet loads before attempting to wrap using film.
Please position the operator beside the EMERGENCY
STOP push button. Start up of the machine (system) may
determine the need for the adjustment of:
- Load height stop photoswitch (on the carriage)
- Top limit switch position
- Bottom limit switch position
- Roping bar height adjustment
Before the test procedures adjust the wrapping cycle
parameters i.e. top wraps, bottom wraps, height photocell
on/off, film tension, carriage speed (Last two parameters
may be adjusted during the wrapping cycle).
