Installation
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
- Keep hands and fi ngers away from tape cutoff blades under Yellow 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 can be used for tape head
conversions and/or custom machines. 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 installation and
conversion guidelines.
CAUTION
• To reduce 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.
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.
2. If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being used,
steps should be taken in the conveyor design to
prevent the pusher from contacting the applying
or buffi ng roller arms resulting in damage to the
taping head.

WARNING
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" for set-up procedure.
