Tape Drum Friction Brake
–
Figure 5-3
The tape drum friction brake on taping
head is pre-set for normal operation to
prevent tape roll over travel. Should
tension adjustment be required, turn self-
locking nut on shaft to vary spring
compression. Turn nut clockwise to in-
crease braking force, and counterclock-
wise to decrease braking force.
Adjust brake to minimum tension to
prevent tape roll over travel.
Note
–
Excess braking force will cause
poor tape application and may lead
to tape tabbing on trailing tape leg.
• To reduce the risk associated with
shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards
- T
urn 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
