7.7.2 Pressure adjustment

1) BX sealer type
Usually, the pressure is
adjusted so that when the
upper and lower end sealers
are engaged, slide guide
No.11 may push up spring
guide No.20 0.1 to 0.2 mm.
The sealer pressure is
adjustable in two steps. In
the first step, when screw plug
No.43 is tightened, the
pressure of slide guide No.11
that installs the end sealer is
increased by compression
spring No.44.
In the second step, when set
screw No.29 is tightened, the
pressure of slide guide No.11
that installs the end sealer is
increased by compression
spring No.45. After making
an adjustment, tighten nut B-M
14 for locking.

 The end sealer splices film by its heat and pressure. Proper pressure should be
applied to the film when the sealer seals the film.

• After sealing 2 or 3 bags, check the

sealing status.
(Check the 4 corners of the sealed
portion.)
• Adjust the sealing pressure and the
temperature setting so that sealing
may be satisfactorily performed by
normal rotation.

- Set the temperature to a proper value.

- The proper temperature value differs depending on the film structure, wrapping
speed, and bag dimensions.
(The 3 elements for heat sealing are "Temperature", "Pressure", and Time".)

11. Products Available on the Market
11.1 Chain
11.1.1 Sag Amount
1) Unlike the V or flat belt transmission, the roller chain transmission does not need
initial tension and must give a proper sag to the roller chain for use.
If excessive tension is given to the roller chain, the oil film between the pin and
bushing will break, thereby giving damage acceleratively to the roller chain and
bearing. An excessive sag vibrates the roller chain and winds the roller chain on
the sprocket, thereby giving damage to both roller chain and sprocket.

2) At roller chain transmission, the lower side should be the sagged side. A proper
sag amount is supposed to be on the condition that when the center of the
sagged side is perpendicularly moved by hand, its length (SS) should be amount
4% of the span (AB). (For example, when the span length is 800 mm, the sag
amount is 800 mm × 0.04 = 23 mm.)
In the following cases, the length should be about 2%.
① Vertical transmission or similar arrangement (requiring a tensioner)
② An inter-shaft distance exceeding 1 m
③ A start that is frequently performed with an overload
④ Sudden reverse rotation

3) The roller chain will be a little stretched by each contact surface fitting for
decades of hours after use. (Approx. 0.05%) Consequently, the roller chain
has an excessive sag. It is necessary to make a sag adjustment. This sag
adjustment can be made by tension. Tighten the tensioner a little.

11.1.2 Connecting the Roller Chain

11.1.2.1 Connection at the sprocket toot

When connecting or disconnecting the roller chain, using the sprocket tooth
facilitates this connection work. Observe the following procedure:
1) Wind the roller chain on the sprocket and set it so that both ends of the roller
chain may touch the sprocket.
2) Insert the joint link into the joint.
3) Put the joint plate and then fix it with a clip, split pin or spring pin.
4) For a close fit joint link or F-type joint link, insert the joint plate to the specified
position by tapping on it with a hammer. After that, set it with a clip, split pin, or
spring pin.
5) When using the sprocket tooth, care take not to give damage to its tooth end,
especially, in the case where the cast iron sprocket is used.

11.1.2.2 Connection between shafts

When the sprocket tooth cannot be used for reason of layout, observe the following
procedure:
1) Wind the roller chain on the sprocket and bring near both ends of the roller chain
with a chain puller or wire.
2) Insert the joint link into the joint.
3) Put the joint plate and set it with a clip, split pin, or spring pin.

11.1.3 Clip and Split Pin

1) Clip
The clip is used for the joint link of a smaller roller chain than RS60. For
connection, insert the joint plate in the pin and then insert the clip in the pin
groove of the joint link securely. If the slip legs are too widely opened, the clip
cannot be inserted correctly, causing an unexpected accident. Take care about
it.
The direction of clip installation is usually as shown in the figure to the advance
direction of the roller chain.

11.1.4 Safety Precautions

① Don't use the offset link if possible but adjust the inter-shaft distance or use the
idler.
② If the pin joint plate hole is a close fit type when the F-type joint link or other joint
link is used, avoid enlarging the joint plate hole or making the pin diameter
thinner to facilitate the connection work in any case because the roller chain
strength is lowered, resulting in an accident.
③ The outer link of the split pin type roller chain is used a substitute for the joint link.
Because of its interference, the outer plate must be driven in the pin. At this
time, take care to fit a pair of pins into the outer link in parallel form. If not, a pair
of pins will be warped or the fitting force will be lowered. Take care in the same
way as above item ②.
④ Reuse the close fit plate that has been removed because its strength has been
lowered by removal.

11.2 Belt
11.2.1 Mounting Tension
Toothed-belt transmission uses an intermeshing transmission mechanism.
Accordingly, it does not require any adjustment for the inter-shaft equal distance that
may get out of order by abrasion or core wire creep phenomenon on general belt
transmission.

11.2.2 Belt Mounting Tension

The toothed-belt transmission is an intermeshing type but requires proper mounting
tension for prevention of a tooth run-over and for smooth transmission.
Low mounting tension will cause intermeshing mismatching, while high mounting
tension will cause noise. In any case, the life of the belt will be shortened.

− How to give mounting tension

1) Obtain parallelism of all shafts including the idler shaft and pulley alignment
accurately.
2) Apply pushing force (F) to the middle of the span of the belt.
3) Give tension so that the belt sag (δ) may be 1.6 mm per a span of 100 mm.

11.3 Cam Follower
The cross roller bearing, which is prepacked with high-quality lithium soap base grease
No.2, is available but has a smaller internal space volume than general roller bearings
and has a rolling contact structure of rollers that is severe for lubricant. Accordingly,
the cross roller bearing requires periodic lubrication.
An oil holes are provided so that grease may penetrate into the oil grooves provided on
the inner and outer rings. Perform lubrication at least at intervals of 6 months to 1
year so that the same type of grease may penetrate into the whole bearing. When
grease is fully given, the initial rotation torque becomes temporarily heavy because of
grease resistance but excessive grease is forced out so that the torque becomes
normal in a short time. However, the thin type has no oil groove. In this case,
provide an oil groove on the inner diameter side of the housing and perform lubrication.

11.4 LM Oil
The LM oil is a new type of long-life lubricant that has an excellent performance for a
linear motion system such as LM guides/ball screws.
In particular, it exercises its power in machine tools to which coolant is applied with a
high load and under a severe environment of small stroke and high repetition
frequency.

11.4.1 LM oil types

There are two types of LM oil depending on applications
● LM oil L31 (VG32)
Most suitable for industrial machines requiring a high speed
● LM oil L68 (VG68)
Most suitable for machine tools to which a high load is applied.
Characteristics
● Precautions on handling
The LM oil is a hazardous material, category 4, petroleum 4, based on the Fire
Services Act.

11.4.2 Lubricating method

For lubrication in a linear motion system, the manual lubricating method using a
grease gun or manual pump and the forced lubricating method using an automatic
pump are available as lubricating methods.
Manual lubricating method
Generally, lubrication is performed by applying grease periodically with a grease
gun from the grease nipple mounted on the linear motion system.

DC01881 11 − 6
11.4.3 Grease lubrication
The grease lubrication period depends on the operating conditions and the
environment. Usually, it should be every travel distance of 100 km.
Usually, apply the same type of grease from the grease nipple or oil hole provided in
the linear motion system. Note that if different types of grease are mixed for use, for
example, the consistency may be increased.

12.2 Maintenance and Inspection Items

○ Check if the periphery of the machine and devices is properly arranged.
○ Check the seal and condition of each wrapped product. If nay fault is detected,
check the film passing way, pinch roller, sealer, cutter, and take-up roller in this
order.
○ Check the cutter.
○ Check the brake of the film supply shaft.
○ Apply lubricant to the sealer bearing, driving gear, cam, and cam follower.
○ Check if any fault doe not exist in the film feeding system. (Film feeder roller,
pinch roller, and product hold belt)
○ Check the infeed conveyor and the lug of the stacker for bend.
○ Check the rubber and resin materials used for feeding device for abrasion.

 ○ Check the driving chain or timing belt for elongation and abrasion.
If any fault is detected, adjust or replace it.
Apply lubricant to a degree that the surface does not become dry.
○ Check the belt for zigzag movement, tension, and abrasion.
If any fault is detected, adjust or replace it.
○ Check the driving gear. Apply lubricant to a degree that the surface of the
driving gear does not become dry.
○ Tighten the screws of each device further.
(Check the screws for looseness in one week after a start of a new machine.)
○ Remove the dust staying on the terminal section in the control box.
(Take care not to have an adverse effect on the electrical parts.)
○ Check the screws of the terminal section and tighten them further.

These maintenance and inspection items are described in the order of inspection cycle
(shorter to longer). Consider the inspection period and order depending to the
frequency of machine use and the operating environment.
Periodic inspection will prevent accidents and failures and keep the machine in a good
condition for a long time.

Note: The electric system should be inspected by the electric engineer in charge.
