ORBIT 16
Phase 3
‒ The "additional bands" timer starts
counting; at count completed, the carrier
stops, the rotating ring starts and counts
the "reinforcement turns" set; the
product is wrapped with the number of
reinforcement turns set.
‒ At the last wrap of the rotating ring, the
clamp comes out to hook the film.
‒ The rotating ring stops and the pad (A)
moves up to lock the coating 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the blade is withdrawn at the same time.
Note
The number of “additional bands” and
the distance between them are
determined by the parameters set by the
user from the main screen of the
operating terminal.
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
‒ As it moves forward, the product
uncovers the photocell (B1); the inlet
pressure roller moves up.
‒ The outfeed conveyor restarts.
‒ The product detects the photocell (B2),,
timer begins counting the “conveyor
outfeed”.
‒ After the time count has finished, the
carrier stops and the product can be
picked up from the machine.
