Attention! The lower part of the strap jumps upward. Consider the strong development of noise during longer operations. Therefore, protect your health. Exclusively use original TITAN spare parts! The use of spare parts not made by TITAN excludes guarantee adjustments and liability.
Automatic mode: Automatic processing of all movements. In automatic mode attention must be paid that no points with the risk of squeezing may occur between the feed installations (e.g. roller conveyors) and the movable strapping unit. VS-32-L B 13 GB 07/10...

7.1. Process description 7.1.1. Insertion of strap Before the insertion of the strap into the TITAN strapping head type VS-12-L attention must be paid that the beginning of the strap has been cut cleanly and sprightly. The beginning of the strap is then inserted...
The adjustable strap tension can be between 4000 and 20000 N. It can at the multi-functional module (569) see chapter 8.4 being adjusted. The tension pressures achieved can be read on the pressure gauge installed. VS-32-L B 13 GB 33/06...
The sealing motor M3 is switched on and operates until the 0 position of the head has been reached. The tensile springs (116) close the welding station. Switch ring 1 (55) then occupies switch B3. - A new strapping cycle may begin. - VS-32-L B 13 GB 33/06...

15 °. Angles being too obtuse provide good ignitability, but it is their disadvantage that they are consumed too quickly which in turn increases ignition distance. Sharpening the ignition needle should be done by means of a TITAN-Sharp grinder.
Switch B1 should be set such that the gap between pusher (71) and switch (85) is max.1 mm. Counter switch: Switch B2 (446) is screwed into transport rocker (529) such that the gap between shaft (385) and switch is 1 mm and fixed by a locknut. VS-32-L B 13 GB 26/06...
