Operation (Continued)
3. Once the box is pushed under the upper taping
head, the upper drive assembly raising switch is
released causing the upper drive assembly to
descend onto the box top, as shown in
Figure 3-9, allowing the drive belts to convey
the box through the upper and lower taping
heads for application of the tape seals.
4. As the box is conveyed through the machine,
the box centering switch is released causing the
centering guides to return to their full open
position, ready for insertion of the next box.
5. Once the box is conveyed from under the upper
taping head, the upper drive assembly
descends to its rest position, ready for insertion
of the next box.
At this point it is recommended that the centering
guides and upper drive assembly switches be
manually actuated to understand the functions
described above. Depressing the box centering
switch causes the guides to close, releasing the
switch causes the guides to open. Depressing the
upper drive assembly raising switch causes the
upper drive assembly to rise, releasing the switch
causes the drive assembly to descend.
