TOOL ADJUSTMENTS
WELD TIME
Weld time has been factory adjusted to
provide acceptable weld strength when using
Tenax (polyester) or Contrax (polypropylene)
type strap. When using Dymax (nylon) strap
the weld time must be increased.
Weld time may need to be adjusted due to air
supply differences, tool wear, etc.
Adjustments are made by turning the small
slotted screw, located beneath the weld
housing at the rear of the tool, using a small
screwdriver.
Establishing the correct weld time is a matter
of trial and error and should be conducted as
follows.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw
clockwise increases weld time and
counterclockwise decreases the weld time.
1. Adjust the screw in 1/8 to 1/4 turn
increments only.
2. Apply a strap and make a weld.
3. Compare the weld made with the
illustrations shown on page 9 of this
manual. A good weld will displace some
material along the outer edges of the
joint.
4. If you are unable to produce an
acceptable joint or if you have any
questions as to whether your tool is
producing good weld strength, contact -
your Signode Sales Representative.
STRAP TENSION
Strap tension can be accurately controlled by
turning the adjustment screw in 1/4
increment turns counter-clockwise using a
3/32 hex wrench (P/N 422587) to reduce strap
tension and clockwise to increase strap
tension. Operating air pressure must be set
between 85 and 90 psi (5.7-6.2 Bar). With
accurately controlled air pressure the tension
will be uniform on all straps, provided the
operator allows the air motor to stall.
STRAP GUIDES
The VXL/VXM tool is manufactured with a
strap guide for 7/16" (10.5mm) strap. When
using 1/2" (12.7mm) strapping material, the
standard strap guide must be replaced with
the 1/2" (12.7mm) strap guide for proper
strap alignment. One 1/2" (12.7mm) strap
guide is packaged with each VXL/VXM tool.
To remove a strap
guide from the tool,
remove the screw
from the bottom of
the tensioner foot.
Once the screw has
been removed the
strap guide can be
lifted over the
alignment pin and
out of the tool.
Replace the new
strap guide in the
same manner in
which the old guide
was removed.
