2. Perform a visual inspection of the electrical and mechanical parts for loosened joints and / or broken connections. Any suspected shipping damage must be reported immediately to the freight carrier. Any transport damage cannot be claimed to Orion Packaging Inc. Items that are vulnerable to damage and must be inspected are as follows:...
SECTION 1 General Description The system is an integrated control for a stretchwrapping machine. It includes three DC motor controls: • Carriage control, reversing. • Turntable control, fully programmable via keyboard interface. • Multistretch control, fully programmable via keyboard interface. The 755 control comprises three principal sub-assemblies: •...
1.3 Multistretch control description The multistretch drive is a solid state DC motor control especially designed for use in constant tension mode on stretchwrapping machines. The unit functions as a pay-off drive, unwinding the pre-stretched film as the turntable and pallet rotate, and continuously regulating tension as the diameter of the wrapped load changes.
1.4 Turntable control description The turntable control is a DC motor control designed for the use as a turntable drive of wrapping machines, where long and repeatable acceleration and deceleration times is needed, and remotely selectable pre-set speeds are required. The unit requires a 90 V armature, permanent magnet DC motor as output device.
SECTION 2 Keyboard Description The keyboard is used to control and monitor all the parameters of a stretch wrapper machine. It will also be used for in house calibration. See Fig 1. Below is a short description for the purpose of each keypad element. •...
SECTION 3 Manual Operation 3.1 Turntable Jog To rotate the Turntable using the TURNTABLE JOG keypad, the machine must be stopped (out of wrapping cycle). If a cycle is being processed, this keypad is disabled. When the JOG keypad is pressed, the turntable turns at a preset speed (Low) until the keypad is released.
4.2 Film Tension To select the film tension variable, press the FILM TENSION keypad. The FILM TENSION LED is located at the top right corner of the keypad. Once the keypad is pressed and the LED is ON, the UP and DOWN arrows can be used to change the value.
4.5 Photo eye Note: this feature works only when machine is running ... (During Cycle) To automatically detect top of the load (to stop carriage motion up with or without “overlap”) carriage auto-height photo eye must be enabled. The photo eye is enabled or disabled by the photo eye keypad.
SECTION 6 Advanced parameters setting 6.1 Parameter Description PARAMETER DESCRIPTION DATA RANGE DEFAULT Table Speed High From 0 to 100 Table Speed Low From 0 to100 Top Bottom Wraps First 0 “ Top Wraps First” or 1 “Bottom Wraps First Not Implemented Table Acceleration Time From 0 to100...
6.4 Get Default Settings Note: this feature works only when machine is stopped ... (Off Cycle) The user can load a specific default setting of parameters by selecting the function parameter P12. Screen will display DEF. The actual machine settings will be overwritten by a set of default values.
SECTION 8 Maintenance 8.1 Replacing Sub Assemblies The connections are mainly plug-in, and wrong connection is unlikely, but special attention should be taken to the configuration when removing items. Repair and replacement should only be done by experienced personnel who are aware of the dangers of working on line-operated equipment.
There is also the possibility of problems with external limit switches, pulse pickups sensor, or the Hall effect device. This should be apparent by problems with particular functions, i.e.: failure to respond to limits. Operating the devices manually and measuring the resistance of the switches or the output of the pulse pickup sensor could assist in diagnosis.

LOADING THE FILM The film roll can be loaded on the carriage mandrel from either end of the roll. When using tacky film, please verify that the inward tacky surface of the film is inward on the load. 1. Disconnect power (turn off power switch). 2.
Page 28
ADDITIONNAL SPACER WASHER (IF NEEDED ONLY) The roll of film may be slightly different from time to time, so you might have to change the bottom spool spacer (washer). The only thing you have to do is to add or remove the spacer washer under the bottom spool.

PROXIMITY SENSOR ADJUSTMENT Occasionally the Feed Back Proximity Sensor may need some adjustment. The position of the feed back proximity sensor against the cam is shown on drawing # 419139. Adjustment instructions: - Remove the carriage cover - Unbolt the two nuts holding the proximity switch - item # 1 - Turn the Proximity sensor - (item # 2) to create the gap between the cam and the front side of proximity sensor about 1/8 “...

MACHINE MAINTENANCE All general information about machine maintenance is based on normal machine working conditions: indoor, moderate dust and low moisture environment, and maximum rotation of 32 RPM of turntable/rotary arm. They should be regarded as guidelines, reviewed and corrected according to requirements of actual use and conditions. MOTOR MAINTENANCE An occasional inspection of the brushes should be made in order to establish a wear rate.
Page 31
Externally: by lubricating and wiping the chain drive with oily cloth. The frequency of lubrication depends on entirely upon the usage of the machine and environment in which the machine is placed (dust, moisture etc.). Machines working under extremely dirty conditions should be lubricated every 400 operating hours but at minimum, every 2 months.
