7.12 Carriage Case Length Dimension C Adjustment
The formed case length adjustment determines how far the carriage needs to push the erected
case into the conveyor so that the rear of the case is in the right position for rear minor flap
folding. The quick-adjust handle and scales are on the operator’s side of the carriage sub-frame.
This adjustment has two scale ranges, one for formed cases up to 12” in length and one for
formed cases from 12” to a maximum of 22”. Each has a corresponding pointer on the scale
provided. The 3” difference in the ranges is due to the relative position of cases in the conveyor
section of the machine and due to different characteristics of small and large cases.
Before making any machine adjustments, refer to the
shutdown procedure outlined in Section 6.5:
‘Shutdown’
. To
adjust the carriage formed case length Dimension ‘C’
measurement, adhere to the following the procedure.
Open the operator’s side guard door. Adjust the formed case
length Dimension ‘C’ quick-adjust handle to the measured
formed case length. Following the procedure outlined in
Section 5.3:
‘BOX SETUP JOGGING OFF/ON Button’
, put
the machine into
‘BOX JOG’
mode. Jog the machine
through until the case is conveyed forward by the carriage
into the case forming area between the conveyors.
Note the position of the rear of the case relative to the rear plates of the conveyor assemblies.
For cases shorter than 12” in length, the rear plates (those nearest to the machine arch) should
line up with the rear of the case. For cases longer than 12” in length, the rear panel of the case
should line up with the trailing end of the conveyor assembly top plates (those nearest to the
machine arch). If the case does not line up, press
‘E-STOP’
and open the operator’s side guard
door. Remove the case from the jawplates.
Adjust the formed case length Dimension ‘C’ quick-adjust handle to the distance on the
proportional scale that corresponds to the position of the rear wall of the case relative to the rear
plate of the conveyor assemblies. Close the guard door, pull out any
‘E-STOP’
buttons, and
press
‘RESET’
. Keep jogging cases through the machine until the rear of the case is even with
the rear plates.
