5.1 Strap Amount in the Accumulator Box

The machine has been already well set for storing enough amount of strap in
accumulator Box.
However, some adjustments may be required, depending on the actual quality or
thickness of the strap used.
The strap supply in the accumulator box should be sufficient for about 2-5 strapping
cycle.
(It depends on the package size and the arch size. Fewer cycles are available for bigger
arch or bigger package.)
Caution!
Excessive amount of strap in the Accumulator Box can lead to the strap jam (too
curved) and cause feeding problem.
Insufficient amount of strap in the Accumulator Box can lead to short feed problem
or decrease strapping speed.
In case that there is an insufficient amount of strap in the Accumulator Box, loosen the
Nut A and turn the Screw Bolt B counterclockwise. After adjustments, be sure to tighten
the Nut A to avoid unstable strap accumulation.
