Installation

• To reduce the risk associated with
sharp blade hazards:
- Keep hands and fi ngers away from
tape cutoff blades under orange 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 assembly can be
used in converting existing or in
custom made machinery.
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
following points making installations:
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, not exceeding
0.81 m/s [160 feet per minute],
past the taping head assembly
since the box motion actuates
the taping mechanism.
• To reduce the 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.

Warning
Caution
2. If a dancer arm is present, pull the
shaft until the latches stops it in place.
This will prevent the dancer arm from
interfering with the reloading process.
3. Information is provided for the physical
dimensions and mounting locations for
both the 2" and 3" Taping Heads in
Figure 2-1.
4. Turn lock lever away from locking position.
Remove spent core. Reload with a new
roll (make sure the adhesive side of tape
faces toward incoming cartons).
Return lock lever to secure position after
reloading tape. Also check and make
sure the spring lock was not bent during
this process.
Note: Make sure lock lever is in correct
position during and after loading.
Pushing or pulling a roll of tape while
lock is engaged may bend spring lock.
If lock is deformed, the lock must be
bent back to a straight position.
5. Press release latch on dancer arm
(if present) so dancer arm roller rests
between new tape roll and tape thread.

Tape Leg Length

Taping heads are factory set to apply
tab length 2" (48mm) to tape leg.
Both upper and lower heads must be
set to apply the same tape leg length.
Also, conveyor speed at which the
product moves through taping heads
aff ects the leading and trailing tape leg
length. See "Adjustments section -
Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment."

48mm [2 inch] wide tape. If it is
necessary to align the tape or to apply
narrower tapes, refer to "Adjustments –
