Tape Latch Alignment – Figure 5-1
The Latching tape drum assembly is pre-
set to accommodate 48mm [2 inch] wide
tape. Tape drum assembly is adjustable
to provide alignment of narrower tapes.
To move the latch to a position that
corresponds to a new tape core width
(Figure 5-1):
1. Remove screw from the latch.
2. Move latch to position that cor-
responds to the tape core width.
3. Replace screw in new latch location.
To adjust or center tape width on
centerline of taping head (and box
center seam - Figure 5-2):
1. Loosen locking hex nut behind tape
drum bracket on tape drum shaft.
Use an adjustable wrench or
25mm open end wrench.
2. Using 5mm Hex Wrench, turn tape
drum shaft in/out to center tape web.
3. Tighten locking hex nut to secure the
adjustment.
No other components require
adjustment for tape web alignment.
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
- Turn air and electrical supplies o
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
