MACHINE OPERATION
FILM LOADING
Follow procedure below to thread film onto the
carriage:
1. Rotate the handle and open the film carriage.
2. Pull six (6) feet of film off the film roll.
3. Follow the diagram below and "thread" the 6-foot
film tail all the way through the rollers.
4. Close the film carriage and rotate the handle in the
opposite direction to lock.
5. Attach the film securely to the pallet. Tying the end
of the film in a knot often helps to secure the film to
the pallet.
NORMAL SYSTEM START-UP
After the machine has been positioned and supplied
with proper voltage, you are ready to begin operation.
Read thoroughly and follow these steps to operate your
system:
1. Place product on the turntable.
2. Make sure the turntable is at home position.
3. Make sure the film carriage is situated at the max
down position.
4. Thread the film as instructed, and attach it to the
product.
5. Set the desired numbers for top and bottom wrap
counts.
6. Select the "Up Only" or "Up/Down" wrapping mode.
7. Turn the "Turntable" and "Film Carriage" selector
switches to Auto position.
8. Press the "Start" button to initiate cycle.
STOP CONDITION
Follow procedure below in the event of emergency.
1. Press the "STOP" button. This cancels the current
wrapping cycle and immediately stops the system.
2. Correct the problem.
3. Pull the "STOP" button out, and then perform normal
system start-up procedure.
NOTE: After pressing the "E-STOP" button,
wait for at least 60 (sixty) seconds before
pulling the button back out. This will allow the
frequency drives to completely go off.
APPLYING REINFORCEMENT WRAPS
Automatic operation can be paused in order to apply
reinforcement wraps to an additional top sheet or
corner boards on the product. Follow the procedure
below.
1. Press the "Start" button as normal to initiate cycle.
2. As the carriage travels up, switch the "Turntable"
selector from Auto to Manual. Both the turntable
and the film carriage will pause.
3. Apply the top sheet or corner boards to the
product.
4. Press the "Start" button to resume cycle. Leave the
"Turntable" selector switch in Manual position. The
turntable will now rotate in Manual mode.
5. Once the reinforcement wraps have been applied,
switch the "Turntable" selector switch from Manual to
Auto. The turntable will pause.
6. Press the "Start" button again to complete the
automatic operation.
If the "Turntable" selector is switched from Auto to
Manual while the carriage is traveling down, the
carriage will travel back up and apply the top wraps
before completing the wrap cycle. This to ensure the
top sheet applied during the manual operation is
properly wrapped into the product.
AUTOMATIC FILM CUT
The automatic film cut feature is always enabled in
the automatic mode. On the last wrap revolution,
the puncture solenoid, located on the film carriage,
engages, tearing a small hole in the film. The powered
film feed motor stops to allow the film force-to-load to
increase the turntable rotates to its home position. The
punctured film is stretched, until eventually cut.
