Theory of Operation: Pressure sensitive tape is applied to the corrugated box as it passes by the cartridge. The box will contact the front arm roller which has pressure sensitive tape adhesive side facing outward towards the oncoming box. The front leading side of the box will contact the front roller arm and the tape will adhere to the box.

Important Safety Notices: Before installing operating or servicing the tape cartridges read carefully and understand the following precautions: • Never service the tape cartridges when installed in an operating machine. • Use lock out / tag out protocols before installing or removing cartridges from machinery.
Tape Threading: The first step is to place the tape roll, on the cartridge tape core. Make sure that the tape roll is fully bottomed against the face of the core. Spring clips on the side of the tape core makes up for inner diameter core fluctuations of the tape roll.

Adjustments: • Aligning tape : Aligning tape side to side with in the cartridge frame is done by changing the position of the tape core. This is done by first loosening the tape core locking screw with a 3mm hex key. Turn the tape core locking screw counter clockwise allowing for the desired amount of adjustment to be made.

• Setting tape core drag: The tape core drag setting is factory set to not allow a full roll of tape to free wheel as tape is being pulled off it. Different types of tapes adhesives require different pull off force. It is crucial for proper operation that the tape roll is not allowed to free wheel or roll up on its self.

Figure 8 Adjustor nut • Front arm stopper adjustment: The front arm stop adjustment is factory set to insure that the front arm roller stays in contact with major flaps of the box. This allows for a tight tape seal across the horizontal length of the box. The adjustor does not need to be adjusted for normal applications.
Maintenance: • Application / Wipe roller replacement: Roller replacement requires the use of a 3mm hex key wrench and a propane torch. The screws must first be heated in order to break the loctite screw adhesive loose. The application roller has a one way clutch roller in it and the rear wipe roller does not have the clutch roller.
