Installation

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are extremely sharp

Receiving And Handling

After the taping head assembly has been unpackaged, examine the unit for damage that might have occurred during transit. If damage is evident, file a damage claim immediately with the transportation company and also notify your 3M Representative.

Installation Guidelines

The taping head assembly can be used in converting existing or in custom made machinery.

It can be mounted for top taping or bottom taping. Refer to "Box Size Capacities," as well as Figure 2-1 in the Specifications section, for the following points in making such installations:

CAUTION

•To reduce the risk associated with muscle strain:

−Use proper body mechanics when removing or installing taping heads that are moderately heavy or may be considered awkward to lift

Important – Always conduct a hazard review to determine appropriate guarding requirements when the installation is in an application other than 3M-Matic(TM) equipment

1.The box conveying system must positively propel the box in a continuous motion, not exceeding 0.40 m/s [80 feet per minute], past the taping head assembly since the box motion actuates the taping mechanism.

2.If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being used, steps should be taken in the conveyor design to prevent the pusher from contacting the applying or buffing roller arms resulting in damage to the taping head.

3.Figure 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting relationship for opposing taping head assemblies to allow taping of box heights down to 90 mm [3- 1/2 inches]. To tape box heights down to 70 mm [2-3/4 inches], the taping heads must be completely staggered so only one tape seal is being applied at one time.

Note – AccuGlide™ 2+ Stainless Steel Upper Taping Head is supplied with a buffing arm guard. Adjustments to this guard may be required to install the taping head into some older design 3M- Matic™ case sealers.

4.Mounting studs are provided with the taping head, but special installations may require alternate means for mounting.

5.Box hold-down or guide skis should be provided and the taping head mounted so that the side plates are 6 mm [1/4 inch] maximum away from the ski surface on which the box rides.

Tape Leg Length

Taping heads are factory set to apply standard

70 mm [2-3/4 inch] tape legs. The heads can be converted to apply 50 mm [2 inch] tape legs if desired but both upper and lower heads must be set to apply the same tape leg length. See "Adjustments

–Changing Tape Leg Length From 70 to 50 mm [2-3/4 to 2 Inches]."

Also, the conveyor speed at which the product moves through the taping heads, affects the leading and trailing tape leg length. See "Adjustments section – Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment."

Tape Width Adjustment

Taping heads are factory set to apply 72 mm [3 inch] wide tape. If it is necessary to align the tape or to apply narrower tapes, refer to "Adjustments – Tape Web Alignment" for set-up procedure.
