Theory of Operation: (Standard) 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.

Theory of Operation: (High Speed) 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.

Theory of Operation: (Pneumatic Cartridge) 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.
no required adjustments. However in some cases it may be necessary to adjust tape tensions. The cartridge will operate at speeds up to 170 feet/minute. Important Safety Notices: Before installing operating or servicing the tape cartridges read carefully and understand the following precautions: ...
Tape Threading: The first step is to place the tape roll, on the cartridge exspandable tape core. The tape core diameter is adjustable by turning the adjustor nut. Turning the adjustor nut c.w. the core diameter increases and turning it c.c.w. the tape core diameter decreases.

Figure 3 White tape roller The tape is then threaded around the knurled tape tension roller. The adhesive side of the tape contacts the knurled roller. Refer to figure 4. Figure 4 Knurled tension roller ...
Page 9
The tape is then threaded between the black knurled roll and the tape guide plate. The adhesive side of the tape will contact the two tape guide rollers as it is pulled through the guide plate assembly until it is at rest on the front arm roller.

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.
Page 11
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. The drag setting may need to be adjusted if the tape cartridge is being operated at high speed or if the tape adhesive is causing the roll to over rotate as the tape it is being pulled of the roll.

Figure 8 Main spring Weakest setting Strongest setting Booster spring Main spring tension adjustment Booster adjustment Setting booster spring compression The booster spring aids in rear tab wipe. The booster spring preloads the wipe roller arm so when the trailing edge of the box releases the wipe roller the arm can travel out at a higher rate of speed and contact the rear tab and secure it to the back panel of the box.

necessary to adjust the stop depending on the type of machine that the cartridge is being used in. If the cartridge is placed in a machine and the tape is not being applied to the major flaps with enough pressure an adjustment will be necessary.
Maintenance: Application / Wipe roller replacement: Roller replacement is a tool less procedure. Simply push down on retaining pin and slide roller off the shaft. Install new roller by lining the angular pin notch on the undercut side of the roller with the retaining pin. Then push the roller onto the shaft all the way until the retaining pin protrudes through other side of the roller and extends out to hold the roller in place.

rotate the knife guard back until the knife blade is fully exposed. While holding the knife guard open slowly release the front roller arm and allow it to extend outward. This will allow the knife guard locking mechanism to hold the knife guard open for easy blade replacement. The knife blades have open slots to allow for easy slide on / off replacements.

Exploded Drawings For Ordering Spare Parts The following drawings represent several different models of the CAC60/60 series cartridges. Please read carefully to ensure the correct part number is chosen before ordering spare parts. Explanation Of Parts List: Each drawing contains a table with a parts list. The item numbers represent the corresponding balloon call outs on the drawings. Some of the drawings have two tables. One for a 2" wide tape cartridge and one for a 3" wide tape cartridge. Each table has a column for a stainless steel suffix , "SS" and a mirror image suffix, "MI". Any of the parts that have a suffix indicated in their row require the suffix to be added to the end of the part number for a stainless steel and/or mirror image cartridge. Example 1: Refer to Table 1 for the following example. If you wanted to order a, "Link Bar", for your stainless steel cartridge. Find the part in the corresponding table. The part number for a standard carbon steel cartridge is, "CAC60‐0007‐5". The cartridge your ordering is stainless steel. Check the column under the heading, "SS". If a, "SS", is in the row for the part you are ordering, than "SS" must be added to the end of the part number. In this example "SS" is indicated in the row for the, "Link Bar". So the part number would be as follows. "CAC60‐0007‐5SS" Example 2: ...

Refer to Table 1 for the following example. If you wanted to order a, "Sliding Block", for your mirror image cartridge. Find the part in the corresponding table. The standard image part number is, "CAC60‐0134‐4". The cartridge your ordering for is mirror image. Check the column under the heading, "MI". If a, "MI", is in the row for the part you are ordering, than "MI" must be added to the end of the part number. In this example "MI" is indicated in the row for the, "Sliding Block". So the part number would be as follows. "CAC60‐0134‐4SS". Example 3: Refer to Table 1 for the following example. If you wanted to order a, "Front Roller Arm", for your stainless steel, mirror image cartridge. Find the part in the corresponding table. The part number for a standard image, carbon steel cartridge is, "CAC60‐0001‐6". The cartridge your ordering is stainless steel and mirror image. Check the columns under the heading, "SS" and "MI". If a, "SS" and "MI", are in the rows for the part you are ordering, than "SS" and "MI" must be added to the end of the part number. In this example "SS" and "MI" are indicated in the row for the, " Front Roller Arm ". So the part number would be as follows. "CAC60‐0001‐6SMI". Take note that a part number is limited to 15 characters. So in this example one of the "S" in "SS" was dropped. Example 4: Refer to Table 1 for the following example. This example deals with converting hardware from carbon steel to stainless steel. If you wanted to order a, "M4 x 12 Button Head", for your stainless steel, cartridge. Find the part in the corresponding table. The part number for a standard, carbon steel cartridge is, "FBHME012P10". The cartridge your ordering is stainless steel. Check the columns under the heading, "SS". If a, "P‐S" or "B‐S", is in the row for the part you ...

are ordering, than "S" must replace the "P" or "B" in the part number. The "P" refers to plated hardware and the "B" refers to black oxide finished hardware. In this example "P‐S" are indicated in the row for the, " M4 x 12 Button Head ". This means the "P" must be replaced with a "S" to convert the part number to stainless steel. So the part number would be as follows. " FBHME012S10".
