Adjustments

Tape Alignment and Tracking – Figure 5-1
An adjustment system behind the tape roll hub
is provided to center the tape as it
moves along the tape applicator rollers and
onto the case. Adjusting the position of the
hub brake off sets the tape moving through the
applicator.
To adjust tape tracking, loosen the nut behind
the hub brake. Turn the screw clockwise to
push out the hub brake, or counter-clockwise
to move the hub brake closer to support arm.
Retighten the nut to lock assembly in new
position.
The tape should be applied directly over the
center line of the case fl aps and should not
extend past the edge of the rollers (Figure 5-2).
Note: Only fi ne adjustments for tape
alignment should be done on the
tape applicator.
• To reduce the risk associated with shear,
pinch, and entanglement hazards
- Turn air and electrical supplies off
on associated equipment before
performing any adjustments, mainte-
nance, or servicing the taping heads
- Never attempt to work on the taping
head or load tape while the box drive
system is running.
