Function Setup screen

1. : No use of printing film eye mark tracing.

2. : Use printed film with eye mark.

3. : It means the eye mark sensor is not in right position, can't read the eye mark properly. The value indicate the eye mark offset position . This value can be set directly.

4. ,: If machine stops, press those to buttons to manually feed film forward and pull film backward. If machine running, those two is for changing cut offset position.

5. : Use mark manually feed film forward and pull film backward. Set value before Offset Affirm.

6. : This is the synchronization accuracy deviation of the film feeding and cutting. In normally running condition, it should be a stable value under 20. If the value changes too large or continuously change, the coder or eye mark must have broken. At the same time, the stop-and-go will occur on the film feeding roller.

7. Press to enter into PLC input and output monitoring screen.

u  Temperature range:

Center seal:110---135 C ; end seal:110---150 C

4.3  Installation and Adjustment of Packing

Paper loading steps (refer to winding diagram on the machine)

4.2.1  Load the film on the roller, with the exit to right. (namely, the central line of the center sealing).

4.2.2  Please refer to the winding diagram on the machine for film moving directions. If your packer is equipped with the printer, please round the roller of the printer first, then round the transition roller and active roller. When the film is rounding the active roller, turn the pressure handle to separate the active roller and rubber roller for paper drawing, and the film will enter into the bagger through the electric eye regulating roller, transition roller and pendulum roller, enter into the bag former. Then Then, disconnect the on-off handle for center sealing to enable the paper pass through the paper pulling pulley, heating plate for center sealing and pressure pulley (for ironing-plate type), or through the paper pulling pulley and heating and pressure pulley (integral center sealing by heating and pressing). Later, switch on the on-off handle, press “JOG” on the main unit continuously, and pass the film through the vertical sealing tool. The entire paper lading process finished at this time.
