Installation
WARNING – Taping head utilizes an extremely sharp tape cut-off knife. The knife is located
under the orange knife guard which has the "Warning – Sharp Knife" label. Before working
with the taping head or loading tape, refer to Figures 3-1 and 3-2 on page 6 and identify the knife
location. Keep hands out of these areas except as necessary to service the taping head.
Receiving And Handling
After the taping head assembly has been
unpackaged, examine the unit for damage that might
have occurred during transit. If damage is evident,
file a damage claim immediately with the
transportation company and also notify your 3M
Representative.
Installation Guidelines
The AccuGlide™
II
STD 1-1/2 Inch Lower Taping
Head is designed for bottom taping of boxes,
however, with slight modification, it can easily be
adapted to top taping. See "Adjustments –
Converting Lower Head to Upper Head", page 14.
Refer to box size specifications on page 3, and
Figure 2-1 on page 4, for the following points in
making such installations:
4.
Mounting studs are provided with the taping
head, but special installations may require
alternate means for mounting.
5.
Box hold-down or guide skis should be provided
and the taping head mounted so that the side
plates are 6 mm [0.25 inch] maximum away from
the ski surface on which the box rides.
Tape Leg Length
Taping head is factory set to apply standard
50 mm [2 inch] tape legs. The head can be
converted to apply 70 mm [2.75 inch] tape legs if
desired. See "Adjustments – Changing Tape Leg
Length From 50 to 70 mm [2 to 2.75 Inch]", page 13.
Also, the conveyor speed at which the product
moves through the taping head, affects the leading
and trailing tape leg length. See, "Adjustments –
Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment", page 13.
Tape Width Adjustment
Taping head is factory set to apply 36 mm
[1.50 inch] wide tape. If it is necessary to align the
tape, refer to "Adjustments – Tape Web Alignment",
page 12 for set-up procedure.
3.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting
relationship for opposing taping head
assemblies to allow taping of box heights down
to 90 mm [3-1/2 inches]. To tape box heights
down to 70 mm [2-3/4 inches], the taping
heads must be completely staggered so only
one tape seal is being applied at one time.
Note – AccuGlide™
II
STD taping Heads are
supplied with a buffing arm guard. This guard
may have to be removed to install the taping
head into some older design 3M-Matic™ case
sealers. If this is the case, remove the four
guard mounting screws, remove the guard and
then install the taping head.
1.
The box conveying system must positively
propel the box in a continuous motion, not
exceeding 0.40 m/s [80 feet per minute], past
the taping head assembly since the box motion
actuates the taping mechanism.
2.
If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being used,
steps should be taken in the conveyor design to
prevent the pusher from contacting the
applying or buffing roller arms resulting in
damage to the taping head.
CAUTION – Taping head weighs
approximately 7.7 kg [17 lbs]
without tape. Remove tape roll before
removing taping head from machine to
minimize weight. Use proper body
mechanics when installing or removing
taping head.
