ORBIT 16
Phase 2
‒
When the “head and tail revolution”
count is completed, the conveyor
restarts and product length wrapping
begins.
‒
The product moves forward and engages
photocell
(B2)
, the outfeed pressure
platen lowers on the product while the
machine continues to wrap product.
|
Note
The overlapping of film wraps is defined
by roller conveyor speed, thrust bearing
speed and film width.
Phase 3
‒
The product moves forward disengaging
photocell
(B1)
, the infeed pressure
platen lifts, the “tail positioning” timer
starts.
‒
After the timer count has finished, the
outfeed carrier stops, the “head and tail
turns” counter starts; the tail of the
product is wrapped and gripper comes
out at the last turn of the rotating ring to
grasp the coating.
|
Important
In case of
500
reel, the machine carries
out an additional pneumatic movement
to lock the coating inside the gripper in
the forward most position.
Phase 4
‒
After the “Head and tail turns” count has
finished, the rotating ring stops and the
pad
(A)
moves up, locking the film
against the stopper
(C)
.
If there is a sealing unit installed, the
coating gets sealed as the pad moves
up.
The gripper returns to its position and
locks the coating.
‒
The blade comes out and cuts the
coating.
‒
The pad
(A)
lowers into rest position and
the blade is withdrawn at the same time.
‒
The outfeed conveyor restarts.
‒
The product detects the photocell
(B2)
,
the outfeed pressure unit lifts up and the
“conveyor outfeed” timer starts.
‒
When timer has finished counting, the
conveyor stops and the products totally
wrapped can be removed from the
machine.
