WARNING! Before threading the film, press on the dancer bar once door is opened to make sure the pre-stretch rollers are not turning. If they are, contact a Wulftec Customer Service representative immediately. Do not touch the carriage. Inadvertent movement of the dancer bar will cause the rollers to turn abruptly, creating the possibility of serious injury.
This cycle provides stability to the pallet where loads are more sensitive to centrifugal reaction instability, depending stacking methods. Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 14 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014...

Automatic Height Sensing All Wulftec automatic machines are equipped with a photoeye sensor, for load height sensing. This allows for variations in load height, while maintaining the predetermined "overwrap" setting. All machines are equipped with manual override (limit switches).
If you need to readjust the analog sensor, make sure to activate the emergency stop to prevent injuries to technicians or damage to machine. 10. Reinstall the carriage cover. 11. Install film roll. Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 25 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014...
Revolution and Home Position Sensors Wrappers from Wulftec use proximity sensor to count revolutions and to determine the arm’s home position. These two (2) sensors can be found on the top of the ring gear and they are reading off a piece of steel glued on the top of the ring gear.
Motor Speed Control Your Wulftec pallet wrap machine utilizes AC drives from Allen Bradley™, which are controlled by a digital parameter unit. This unit is used to set the functions such as acceleration/deceleration time and electronic thermal relay to allow variations in motor operation to best suit the specific application and/or desired customer wrap parameters.
4-20 mA Analog Input Low [Zero] A113 4-20mA Analog Input High [Span] These parameters may differ from one application to the other. Please contact Wulftec M.J. Maillis to make sure you have the newest parameter set. *NOTE: Parameters must be set by qualified technician...
The second section of the FR contains a Regulator that shows how much air pressure going is into the machine. The pressure may be regulated by the knob located at the top of the center section of the FR. This pressure should be set at 80 psi for all Wulftec automatic machines.
Photoeyes Every 2000 hours of operation the photoeye and reflectors should be cleaned to ensure that no false readings would be taken during operation of machinery. Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 30 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014...
