BO-30 Bag Opening Device
This device enters the bag with one or more “fingers” and
then pulls and holds the bag open. Air can also be shut off at
this point. See Figure 3 - 15.
To turn ON this option, press the Toggle button to <ON>.
Down Delay is a delay time before the finger will attempt to
enter the bag, after it is initially blown open. A typical value
is 0.7 seconds.
Close Delay is the amount of time, in seconds, after the
fingers have entered the bag, before the fingers will pull the
bag to the gripper point. A typical value is 0.5 seconds.
Ready Delay The amount of time, in seconds, it takes the fingers to cycle before the machine looks for an error.
Note: It is very important that Ready Delay is set correctly, as the entire operation of the machine is
affected by this setting. If Ready Delay is too short, the machine could drop the product before it
confirms the bag opening. The bag will not be ready and an error will occur. If Ready Delay is too long,
the machine will cycle slower and there will be a loss of production.
Fill Time is the amount of time, in seconds, that an output will be sent to an auxiliary piece of equipment, after
the bag has been opened and the opening validated. A typical value is 0.5 seconds.
Next Bag toggle button can be turned on to automatically reject an empty bag after failed attempts to open the
bag. Bag will not be sealed if rejected by the bag open validation.
Blower During Loading toggle button turns off air if set to “OFF”.
BO Cycle button allows you to test cycle the Bag Opening Device alone, without initiating other equipment or the
T-1000 seal operation.
LC-10 Light Curtain
This option is used as a safety device to disable air power
when the active area is obstructed. See Figure 3 - 16 and
Figure 3 - 17.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not reach under guards.
This may defeat the safety feature of the LC-10 Light
Curtain option.
As an additional safety function, the Automatic cycle mode
is disabled when the Light Curtain option is turned ON.
