8.1 Glossary
Banding refers to the layers of film that the FDS applies to a set section of the load.
The layers of film that the Film Delivery System applies to the bottom of the load.
The cumulative force on the load from the layers of film, measured at any point. It is
the best indicator for load shipment success.
A button that safely stops the machine in an emergency condition.
An option that is standard on most Film Delivery Systems. It includes a gate that
makes it easy to thread the film.
The function to release the film for a set period of time. This lets the operator pull the
film and attach it to the load before it moves through the wrap cycle.
To start or continue the wrap cycle after a film break.
The assembly that pre-stretches the film and generates the wrap force before it applies
the film to the load. The FDS can apply Netting as an alternative to the film.
An adjustable setting that controls the tension, pressure applied to the load during the
wrap cycle.
HMI (Human Machine
Interface)
Gives information to an operator or user about the status of a process. It accepts and
implements the operators control instructions.
This sets the safety circuits and puts all components in the start position.
To move a machine component with manual functions, controls. Examples are to
"Jog" the wrap arm, turntable.
A transducer that changes the force or pressure into a measurable electrical output.
A transducer is a device that changes the power from one system into a different form
for a different system.
A machine control system that eliminates the need for an operator to understand the
complex interaction of wrap setup parameters. The operator answers simple
questions about the load. The machine sets the wrap parameters to produce a “safe to
ship” wrap profile.
A sensor that sees the top of the load and stops the Film Delivery System to apply the
top wraps.
Safety procedures that align with OSHA requirements and give protection to
personnel. The procedures make sure that the power is off and not started up again
before the completion of maintenance, service work.
The upright section of some machines that holds the Film Delivery System and the
control panel.
The quantity of film that extends above the load during the wrap cycle.
