Adjusting the Low Tape Supply Sensor:
The dancer arm position is used to de fi ne the low
tape condition. The arm rotates as tape is dispensed.
The low tape sensor “turns on” when the arm rotation
matches the low tape level setting. The sensor posi-
tion is adjustable and is determined by your process
requirements. There are two adjustments that will
a ff ect the proper operation of the low tape sensor.
The fi rst is the gap between the sensor and target.
The second is the rotational position of the dancer arm.
Note: The Tape Application Monitor can be used to
signal a low tape condition by turning on the panel
indicator and (optional) beacon light. The system
can be set to stop the case sealer when either the
upper or lower low tape supply sensors detect a
low tape condition. (Refer the Theory of Operation
and Adjustments sections of this manual for further
information on this feature.)
The sensor should be positioned to allow the opera-
tor ample time to replace the tape roll before
ad-versely a ff ecting your production process when
the system is set to indicate a low tape condition.
To adjust the sensor:
1. Check distance between the sensor and target.
The gap must be less than 0.079 inches (2mm)
and must not touch the target or interfere with
the motion of the dancer arm.
2. If necessary, loosen the M8 sensor jam nuts and
reposition the sensor.
3. Rotate and hold the dancer arm in a position that
represents your low tape condition. This can be
accomplished by placing a spacer or a tape roll
with the amount of tape that represents the low
tape condition.
4. Loosen or remove the (2) M5 fasteners on the
low tape sensor bracket and slide or reposition
the bracket as required until the sensor turns
"On" (indicated by the sensor LED).
Slots are supplied to allow adjustment.
Figure 2-17 shows di ff erent bracket positions.
5. Retighten the fasteners.
6. Check and adjust as required until a satisfactory
low level indication is achieved.
