CARRIAGE SAFETY SWITCH
In case of carriage safety switch limits or some obstacle preventing carriage to move down
when descending - carriage safety device will be engage causing safety limit switch to
change position and in effect, cause safety pause.
TO RESET - select carriage raise.
TO CONTINUE - press start to continue auto cycle.
TURNTABLE JOG & REINFORCE WRAP
The turntable jog switch will rotate the turntable low speed when the switch positioned on
the TOWER / TURNTABLE JOG. When the switch is released, the turntable (rotary tower)
will stop. The switch is inoperative during the wrap cycle. When the same switch is
positioned on the REINFORCE WRAP the carriage will be stationary until the switch is
released.
PHOTOCELL ON/OFF SWITCH
The photocell switch has two settings:
ON - when turned ON, the photocell instructs the carriage to stop and begin the top wrap
sequence once the top of the load is reached. The carriage will always stop at the top of the
load regardless of its height. The photoswitch position on the track can be adjusted in order
to make the carriage pass the top of the load and overlap the top.
OFF - when turned OFF, the photocell is inoperative and the carriage will stop when the top
limit switch has been activated.
FILM TENSION
Film tension may be adjusted using the film tension control knob. It has a range of tension
from 0 to 10 (0 to 4 the low range, 4 to 8 the most useful range for most of the films used by
our customers, 8 to 10 as a very high range which may break some films).
CARRIAGE SPEED
The carriage speed potentiometer control can be used to control the amount of overlap the
film will have during the wrap. The potentiometer has settings from 0 to 10, the higher
settings being the fastest. High settings mean less film overlap because of faster carriage
speed and low settings mean more film overlap because of lower carriage speed.
TOP WRAPS 1,2,3...9
Three-position switch controls the number of wraps that may be applied on the top of the
load. The machine is preset RANGE # 1 (top wraps: 1 or 2 or 3). To change the values of
wrap see TOP & BOTTOM WRAP COUNTS CHANGE.
BOTTOM WRAPS 1,2,3...9
Three-position switch controls the number of wraps that may be applied on the bottom of the
load. The machine is preset with RANGE # 1 (bottom wraps: 1 or 2 or 3) which may be
applied. To change the values of wrap see TOP & BOTTOM WRAP COUNTS CHANGE.
