4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE FROM EQUIPMENT PRIOR
TO PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR
4.1 Routine Maintenance
Extended machine lifespan and trouble-free operation is possibly by properly maintaining the
strapping mechanisms contained within the Eagle 800 strapping machine.
4.2 Lubrication
The Eagle 800 is a high-speed strapping machine and due to its operating requirements, the moving
parts require regular lubrication with oil (No. N68 oil is recommended). The following parts require
regular maintenance and lubrication for trouble-free operation.
1.
Slide Board and Guide Plate (see below)
2.
Operating surface and roller of all cams
3.
Guide rail of heating body (see below)
4.
Strap-clipping block (see below)
a.
Apply oil to both sides and inside hole of the strap-clipping block
4.3 Decelerator
Check the oil reservoir to verify fluid levels. If over-filled, machine performance will be affected.
4.4 Proximity Switch
Periodically examine the proximity switch sensitivity and detection speed. If the proximity switch is
not positioned properly due to loose fittings or misalignment, it will cause a change to the stop
position of the strap sensor. This will reduce machine efficiency and requires adjustment if misaligned.
