ORBIT 16
Phase 2
‒ Infeed/outfeed conveyors starts.
‒ The product moves forward and engages
photocell (B2).
‒ The outfeed pressure platen lowers on
the product.
Phase 3
‒ The product moves forward disengaging
photocell (B1), the infeed pressure
platen lifts and the ring starts rotation.
‒ After one revolution, conveyors turn on
and the “tail positioning” timer begins
counting.
‒ After the timer count has finished, the
outfeed carrier stops, the “head and tail
turns” counter starts; the tail of the
product is wrapped and gripper comes
out at the last turn of the rotating ring to
grasp the coating.
Important
In case of 500 reel, the machine carries
out an additional pneumatic movement
to lock the coating inside the gripper in
the forward most position.
Phase 4
‒ After the “Head and tail turns” count has
finished, the rotating ring stops and the
pad (A) moves up, locking the film
against the stopper (C).
If there is a sealing unit installed, the
coating gets sealed as the pad moves
up.
The gripper returns to its position and
locks the coating.
‒ The blade comes out and cuts the
coating.
‒ The pad (A) lowers into rest position and
the blade is withdrawn at the same time.
‒ The outfeed conveyor restarts.
‒ The product detects the photocell (B2),,
timer begins counting the “conveyor
outfeed”.
‒ When timer has finished counting, the
conveyor stops and the products totally
wrapped can be removed from the
machine.
