Theory of Operation
CAUTION
•To reduce the risk associated with pinches and entanglement hazards:
−Always feed boxes into the machine by pushing only from the end of the box.
−Keep hands clear of the upper head support assembly as boxes are transported through the machine.
•To reduce the risk associated with pinches and impact hazards:
−Keep away from the pneumatically controlled upper drive assembly and box centering guides when air and electric supplies are on.
The air supply powers movement of the centering guides and upper drive assembly to automatically adjust the case sealer to the box size being sealed as follows:
1.A box centering switch in the center of the infeed roller conveyor actuates movement of the centering guides. When the operator pushes a box onto the infeed conveyor, as shown in Figure
Figure 3-7—Centering Guide Switch
2.Once the box is centered by the guides, the operator pushes the box against the raising switch on the upper drive assembly, as shown in Figure
CAUTION
•To reduce the risk associated with pinches and entanglement hazards:
−Keep hands clear of the upper head support assembly as boxes are transported through the machine
