Receiving And Handling
After the taping head assembly has
been unpackaged, examine the unit

during transit. If damage is evident,
file a damage claim immediately with
the transportation company and also
notify your 3M Representative.
Installation Guidelines
The taping head assembly can be
used in converting existing or in
custom made machinery.
It can be mounted for top taping
or bottom taping. Refer to “Box Size
Capacities,” as well as
Figure 2-1
in the Specifications section, for
following points making installations:
Important –
Always conduct a hazard
review to determine appropriate
guarding requirements when the
installation is in an application
other than 3M-Matic
™
equipment
1. The box conveying system must
positively propel the box in a
continuous motion (see specifications)
past the taping head assembly since
the box motion actuates the taping
mechanism.
2. If a pusher/cleated conveyor is used,
steps should be taken in conveyor to
prevent pusher from contacting apply-
ing or buffing roller arms (resulting in
damage to taping head).
3.
Figure 2-1
illustrates the typical
mounting relationship for opposing
taping head assemblies to allow taping
of box heights (see specifications).
The taping heads must be completely
staggered so only one tape seal is
being applied at one time.
4. Mounting studs are provided with the
taping head, but special installations
may require alternate mounting means.
5. Box hold-down/guide skis should be
provided and taping head mounted so
that side plates are 6mm [1/4 inch]
maximum away from the ski surface
on which the box rides.
Tape Leg Length
Taping heads are factory set to apply
58mm [2 1/4 inches] tape legs.
Tape Width Adjustment
Taping heads are factory set to apply
48mm [2 inch] wide tape. If it is
necessary to align the tape or to apply
narrower tapes, refer to “Adjustments –
Tape Web Alignment” set-up procedure.
Caution
• To reduce the risk associated with
muscle strain:
-
Use proper body mechanics when
removing or installing taping heads
that are moderately heavy or may be
considered awkward to lift
• To reduce the risk associated with
sharp blade hazards:
- Keep hands and fingers away from
tape cutoff blades under orange blade
guards. The blades are extremely sharp.
