Operation (Continued) For boxes which are fully packed with products that support the top flaps, the adjustment of this regulator is not critical since the boxes can support the pressure of the upper frame (drive belts) at a wide range of regulator settings. However, if under-filled or fragile boxes are sealed, this regulator can be used to set the upper frame pressure to a minimum that is still...
Operation (Continued) WARNINGS 1. Turn electrical and air supply off and disconnect before servicing taping heads or performing any adjustments or maintenance on the machine. 2. Do not leave machine running unattended. 3. Before turning drive belts on, be sure no tools or other objects are on the machine bed. 4.
Operation (Continued) Theory of Operation 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.
Operation (Continued) WARNING – Keep hands away from drive belts when feeding boxes. 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.
Maintenance The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble Lubrication free service. The machine will perform best when it receives routine maintenance and cleaning. Most of the machine bearings, including the drive Machine components that fail or wear excessively motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent do not require additional lubricant.

Special Set-Up Procedure WARNING – Turn off electrical power and air supply and disconnect power cord from electrical supply before beginning Special Set-Up Procedure. If power cord is not disconnected, severe injury to personnel could result. Changing the Tape Leg Length (From 70 to 50 mm [2-3/4 to 2 inch]) The following changes to the case sealer frame and upper/lower taping heads reduces the tape leg length to 50 mm [2 inch] and also allows the taping of boxes 95 mm [3.75 inch] minimum height.

Special Set-Up Procedure (Continued) TAPING HEADS WARNING – Use care when working near knifes as knifes are extremely sharp. If care is not taken, severe injury to personnel could result. With upper drive assembly in raised position: 1. Remove tape from upper taping head. 2.
Special Set-Up Procedure (Continued) WARNING – Turn off electrical power and air supply and disconnect power cord from electrical supply before beginning Special Set-Up Procedure. If power cord is not disconnected, severe injury to personnel could result. Box and Machine Bed Height Range – Refer to Figure 6-4 Moving the outer columns up one set of mounting holes increases the maximum box size handled by the 700r case sealer and decreases the minimum machine bed height.
Special Set-Up Procedure (Continued) WARNING – Turn off electrical power and air supply and disconnect power cord from electrical supply before beginning Special Set-Up Procedure. If power cord is not disconnected, severe injury to personnel could result. Box Height Range – (Refer to Figure 6-5) The operating range of the upper drive assembly can be adjusted to minimize its movement to the range of box heights being sealed.
Troubleshooting The Troubleshooting Guide lists some possible machine problems, causes and corrections. Also see Section II "Troubleshooting", pages 15 and 16 for taping head problems. Troubleshooting Guide Problem Correction Cause Drive belts do not convey boxes Narrow boxes Check machine specifications. Boxes are narrower than recommended, causing slippage and premature belt wear.
