Bag "Out" Sensor - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000-S14 Advanced Poly-Bagger Operation Manual

Increased production can be achieved in manual load or automatic load operations. In a manual operation,
the operator can insert the product into the funnel without waiting for the bag to be in position and opened.
When the bagger is ready to receive the product, the door at the bottom of the funnel will open, drop the
product and shut, to allow the funnel to again be loaded.
In an automatic operation, increased production can be achieved by allowing counters, fillers, scales and
other infeed equipment to feed the funnel without regard for the status of the bagger.
Additionally, the funnel can be operated in an "Open Accumulator" mode or a "Closed Accumulator"
mode. In an Open Accumulator mode, the door is closed only during the CYCLE operation. When the
door opens (when the bag is in position and blown open), the door will open and remain open until the bag
has been filled with the required amount of product. The door will then close only until the next bag is in
the Closed Accumulator mode, the door remains closed until the full contents have been inserted into the
funnel. When the bag contents is reached in the funnel, the door will open and all of the product will enter
the bag in one.
To turn ON the option press the Mode Toggle button. See Figure 3-31.
The Setup screen displays the time, in seconds, which the bagger will wait after the door opens (product
drops). Depending on whether you are in the Open or Closed mode, adjusting the <Door Delay 1> or
<Door Delay 2> settings will cause delay in the opening or closing of the funnel.
See Figures 3-35 thru 3-36
Note: Valve # X indicates the Valve Station number assigned to this option. Valve #0 indicates that no
valve is assigned to this option. The option will not operate unless a Valve Station number is assigned,
other than 0.
3.29 BO-20 Bag Open Detector
A Photo optic or Closed Contact sensor to detect the opening or presence of bag material is available for
purchase, not included in the standard T-1000 package. See Figure 3-38.
This option will detect whether or not a bag is blown open, or whether or not a funnel is inserted into the
bag for validation that that bad is ready to receive product. This option is valuable for an automatic
operation to decrease the chance of product falling on the floor. See Figure 3-39.

3.30 Bag "Out" Sensor

A Photo optic or Closed Contact sensor to detect the presence of bag material is available for purchase, not
included in the standard T-1000 package. If the bag material ends, a message will be displayed indicating
out of bags or a threading or web breakage issue.
3.31 DF-20 Part Diverter (Diverting Funnel)
A Photo optic and preset Counting and Diverting option is not included in the standard T-1000 package
and must be purchased separately. See Figure 3-40.
This feature is used to count bags from the bagger and divert them for further packaging operations
including counting into cartons. See Figure 3-41.
Note: Valve # X indicates the Valve Station number assigned to this option. Valve #0 indicates that no
valve is assigned to this option. The option will not operate unless a Valve Station number is assigned,
other than 0.
