Testing of the return protection
The upper tape heads of the bundling machine are equipped with a return protection. This protection helps to prevent injuries.
If the bushing, which can be found around the lower tape head, is pressed down, the upper tape head will stop its downward movement and return to its upper position. This protection needs to be tested each time before the beginning of the operations.
Way of testing:
- Take a solid piece of cardboard of about 1cm thickness
- Place the piece of cardboard on top of the bushing, which can be found around the lower tape head. Watch out that no body parts are situated between the upper and the lower tape head.
- Activate the micro switch, the machine now starts a tape cycle.
- Check:
- As soon as the bushing, which is found around the lower tape head, is pressed down because of the upper tape head, the upper tape head needs to stop its downward movement and should return to its upper position.
- The cardboard must not be damaged.
Application of the tape
Push the tape roller over the tape holders in such a way that the adhesive is at the top during unwinding.
Wind the tape around the upper tape head and hold the tape firmly.
