Pneumatic Connecting; Infeed Conveyor Assembly - 3M MATIC A80F Instructions And Parts List

7-INSTALLATION (continued)
7.11 Pneumatic Connection
Important: Use care when working with
compressed air.
For compressed air supply Technical Specifi cations,
Note: A precision regulator is used to balance
the top drive assembly. Due to the self-
relieving feature of this regulator, a small
amount of air continually vents to the
atmosphere. This is normal and amounts
to approximately 3 litre/min. [0.1 SCFM].
1. Read and remove safety tag from pneumatic
"On/Off" valve.
2. Connect the main air supply line to the inlet side
of the On/Off valve using the barbed fi tting and
hose clamp provided. The customer supplied air
hose (8mm [5/16 inches] Inner Diameter) must
be clamped tightly to the barbed fi tting.
If another type of connector is desired, the
barbed fi tting can be removed and replaced with
the desired threaded connector.
Important: Always turn the air valve Off when the
air supply line is being connected or disconnected.
3. Turn the air supply on by turning the air On/
Off valve to On.
Note: The air valve has provisions for lock out/
tag out according to plant regulations.

7.12 Infeed Conveyor Assembly

1. Remove the conveyor and the package of parts
from the carton.
2. Verify that the package contains two fl at plates,
ten (10) M8 x 20 hex socket head screws, and ten
(10) M8 fl at washers.
3. To assemble the infeed conveyor, refer to
Figure 7-8 and locate the bolt holes on the infeed
end of the case sealer frame and the bolt holes on
the infeed conveyor.
4. Place the fl at plates over the conveyor and the
frame on each side.
5. Insert a screw in each hole so that only a few
threads take hold. Note: Be sure to line up and
level the Machine and Infeed Conveyor Rollers.
Adjustments can be made to the position of the
infeed conveyor before tightening screws.
6. Ensure that infeed conveyor rollers are level with
machine infeed rollers. Adjust position of
the bed height and infeed conveyor before
tightening all screws. When adjusting Case Sealer
Legs, block up the machine frame to allow
adequate leg adjustment This will help to prevent
damage to the boxes and ensure proper
performance.
7. Install case sealer in production line. When
installing the case sealer, be sure to observe the
following guidelines.
a. Case sealer must be installed level – it is not
designed to convey boxes uphill.
b. Infeed conveyor must convey boxes to
case sealer at the target speed indicated in
Specifi cations (Section 4).
c. Precautions must be taken to prevent
excessive box pressure against the case sealer
infeed gate. This will help to prevent damage to
the boxes and ensure proper performance.
d. Infeed and exit conveyors must provide
straight entrance and exit of boxes to/from case
sealer and exit conveyor must positively convey
boxes away from machine
