Optional Equipment > Auto. F. Tracking Sensors

Touchscreen Controls

Switches on the touchscreen display determine when the bagmaker

can perform automatic film tracking adjustments. When the jaw drive

encoder count is between the cam values, the motion controller signals

the PLC to perform any necessary film tracking adjustments.
