11.5 Run Boxes to Inspect Adjustment
(Figure 11-5)
Important: Before starting the machine, verify that
no tools or other objects are on the conveyor bed.
Turn main electrical/pneumatic switch to "On".
Then press the Push Button Station "Start".
This starts the drive belts and engages the
pneumatic air pressure system. Move box forward
on the infeed conveyor until the Proximity Sensor is
activated (which activates the Box Centering Guides
automatically centering the box). Continue moving
the box forward until it contacts the Upper Drive
Assembly Actuator Switch. The Upper Drive Height
adjustment adjusts automatically as the box is taken
away by the drive belts. Always push at the end of
the box. If the box is not centered correctly or the
Upper Drive Assembly does not contact the top of
the box correctly, see pressure adjustment settings
and/or the Troubleshooting Section.
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk associated with
pinches hazards:
− Keep hands clear of the upper head
support assembly as boxes are
transported through the machine.
− Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and
jewelry away from box compression rollers.
− Always feed boxes into the machine by
pushing only from the end of the box.
− Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and
jewelry away from moving belts and taping
heads.
Note – The upper head has a unique feature for
overstuffed boxes. The head will raise up
to 13mm [0.5 inches] to compensate for
this condition.
Important – If drive belts are allowed to slip on
box, excessive belt wear will occur.
Note - For belt replacement and tension specifi cations -
refer to Section 13 / Maintenance and Repairs.
