Air & Power Hookup; Main Power; Bag Threading - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000 Operation Manual

2.4 Air & Power Hookup
This section describes in detail how to hook up air and power and the air and power
requirements. Note: A qualified electrician should ensure power outlets are the required 115
VAC and properly grounded before hooking up the power.
The air supply should be fed to the T-1000 with 3/8 ID flexible tubing; this tubing affixes to the
coupler adapter (quick disconnect not provided). Connect the air to the regulator by holding the
regulator firmly in one hand and pushing the air line connector on the male regulator connector.
After connecting air, the regulator should be adjusted so the gauge reads 80 PSI. Insert the
T-1000 power cord into a 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz, grounded power outlet.

2.5 Main Power

The main power switch is located on the rear panel (Fig. 2-5). Press the switch to ON position
so that the Red main power light is illuminated. When the power is in the ON position, the
Touch Screen will power up displaying the Introduction Screen. The program version will also
be identified. The introduction screen will only appear for a few seconds until automatically
changing to the MAIN MENU. Note: If the Touch Screen does not power up to the
Introduction "T-1000" screen, see Chapter 6, Trouble- shooting steps.

2.6 Bag Threading

(Fig. 2-6 & 2-7, Threading Diagrams)
The first step to threading the machine is to place a roll of bags on the shaft. Remove one of the
chucks from the shaft by loosening the chuck knob and slide the roll of bags over the shaft,
locking the chuck pin in the small hole in the core plug. Tighten the knob. Replace the second
chuck also locking the chuck pin to the core plug. Remove the tape from the bags so that the
bags fall freely and hang down from the top of the roll towards the back of the machine. Insert
the right side of the roll shaft in the right side of the shaft holder (circular holder). Then drop
the roll shaft in the slot located on the left side of the dancer assembly. See Fig. 2-2 and 2-8.
Center the bags on the shaft by loosening the chuck knobs and sliding the roll of bags along with
the chucks to the desired location. Ensure the chuck pins remain in the core plug holes when
sliding left or right. Pull the bags over the roller immediately above the dancer assembly, then
down between the roll of bags and the outer dancer roller. Pull the bags around the outer dancer
roller, over the rear "guide" roller and into the back of the T-1000. Push the bags at least half
way through the machine.
From the front of the T-1000, lower the frame by slowly pulling the frame handle forward and
downward. See Fig. 2-9. Carefully reach inside and pull the bags through the front of the
T-1000 so that one bag is centered on the roller. Ensure only one (1) bag extends through the
front of the machine. Slowly raise the frame by pulling forward and upward on the handle while
holding the bag in position. Holding the guide roller shaft, slide the Roller Guides within
approximately 1/8" from the sides of the bag to assist the tracking of the web of bags.
Caution: Roller "Fingers" may be sharp. To avoid injury when reaching into the T-1000,
ensure that you do not come in contact with the roller "fingers."
Note: The Roller Guides are for fine adjustments only, after proper tracking has been achieved.
If the web of bags are not properly tracking, make proper adjustments. If not tracking properly,
the web of bags may "ride" up the side of the guides causing the bags to fold over.
