Installation
• To reduce the risk associated with
sharp blade hazards:
- Keep hands and fi ngers 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,
fi le 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 Specifi cations section, for
following points making installations:
Important – Always conduct a hazard
review to determine appropriate
guarding requirements when the
installation is in an application
other than 3M-Matic™ equipment
1. The box conveying system must
positively propel the box in a
continuous motion (see specifi cations)
past the taping head assembly since
the box motion actuates the taping
mechanism.
• 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.

Warning
Caution
2. If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being
used, steps should be taken in conveyor
design to prevent the pusher from contacting
the applying or buffi ng 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
(see specifi cations). The taping heads must
be completely staggered so only one tape
seal is being applied at one time.
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 6mm [1/4 inch]
maximum away from the ski surface on
which the box rides.
Tape Leg Length
Taping heads are factory set to apply
58mm [2 1/4 inches] tape legs.
Tape Width Adjustment
Taping heads are factory set to apply
48mm [2 inch] wide tape. If it is
necessary to align the tape or to apply
narrower tapes, refer to "Adjustments –
Tape Web Alignment" set-up procedure.
