4. Pneumatic connection.
a. Read and remove safety tag from
pneumatic “On/Off” valve.
b. Connect the main air supply line to
the inlet side of the on/off valve
using the barbed fitting and hose
clamp provided
(See Figure 7-7B)
.
The customer supplied air hose
(8mm [5/16 inch] must be clamped
tightly to the barbed fitting.
If another type of connector is
desired, the barbed fitting can be
removed and replaced with the de-
sired 1/4-18 NPT threaded connector.
Always turn the air valve
“Off”
when
the air supply line is being connected
or disconnected.
5. Turn the air supply on by turning the
air on/off valve to SUP (On).
6. Raise and latch upper drive assembly
in full “Up” position.
Note –
Read “Operation –
Mechanical Latch” before
raising and latching upper
drive assembly.
Machine Set-Up
The following instructions are presented in
the order
recommended for setting up and
installing the case sealer, as well as for
learning the operating functions and
adjustments. Following them step by step
will result in your thorough understanding
of the machine and an installation in your
production line that best utilizes the many
features built into the case sealer.
Refer to
Figure 7-14
to identify the various
components of the case sealer.
1. Install the upper tape drum bracket
on top crossbar as shown in
Figure
7-7A
.
2. Mount the column guards, shown in
Figure 7-7
. Remove and retain the
screws and washers holding the guards
on the columns for reinstallation after
Bumper Supports have been mounted
(see Column Bumper Installation in
the Installation and Set-Up Section
and Special Set-Up Procedures
Section /
Figure 7-7 and Section 13
).
After the Bumpers have been
installed, the Column Guards must
be installed -
Figure 7-7
) for safe
operation of the machine.
Replace existing screws and washers
to secure the guards in place.
3. Cut cable ties securing upper assem-
bly to machine bed on each side.
Important –
Use care when working
with compressed air.
See Specifications for compressed air
supply needs. As shown in
Figure 7-15
,
an on/off valve, pressure regulator, and
filter are provided to service the air supply.
Note –
A precision regulator is used
to balance the upper drive assembly.
Due to the self relieving feature of this
regulator a small amount of air will
continually vent to the atmosphere.
This is normal and amounts to
approximately 3 litre/min. [0.1 SCFM].
The case sealer requires a 6.2 bar gauge
pressure 166 liter/min [90 PSIG], @21°C,
1.01 bar [11.6 SCFM]
- Allow only properly trained and
qualified personnel to operate and
service this equipment.
Warning
• To reduce the risk associated
with impact hazards:
- Always use appropriate supporting
means when working under the
upper drive assembly
