SECTION 3 – COMPONENT REPAIR
SEALER ASSEMBLY
LINEAR BEARINGS (con’t)
7. Install the new linear bearing into machine by
sliding it onto the rail from the rear of the
machine. Replace the spacer above the
bearing, and insert the four mounting screws.
8. Manually slide the pressure jaw in and out a
few times to test the movement. The jaw will
be relatively difficult to move due to the drive
linkages still being connected, but should move
smoothly over the fully range of motion.
9. Reinstall all guards removed in the previous
steps.
STRIPPER PLATE ASSEMBLY
The stripper plate assembly consists of the stripper
plate, mounting blocks, the springs and shoulder
bolts that hold the stripper plate into position for
product loading, and the gripper buttons and
springs which apply force to the pressure jaw to
pinch the bag film for sealing and separating the
sealed bag from the roll of film yet to be used. If
any of the components in this assembly fail, Sharp
Packaging Systems recommends changing all
springs and wear items associated with the stripper
plate, since somewhat substantial machine
disassembly is required to access the springs, etc.
Replaceable items are available as a stripper plate
maintenance kit (part number 960881-01), which
can be purchased from Sharp Packaging Systems
Inc.
1. Depress the stripper plate by hand to check the
springs. The stripper plate should smoothly
slide in and out, and the spring force should be
enough to keep the plate slightly beyond flush
with the front of the machine with no pressure
applied. Once fully depressed, the stripper
plate should sit parallel to the front plate of the
machine.
TESTING
Always remove electrical power from the
SX
prior to performing any maintenance
on the machine.
