INFORMATION ON USE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE AND FUNCTIONING
Accident frequency derived from machine use depends upon many factors that cannot always be foreseen and
controlled. Some accidents can depend upon unforeseeable environmental factors; others depend especially
upon the user’s behaviour. In addition to being authorised and appropriately informed, on first use personnel
must simulate some manoeuvres to identify the main commands and functions. Only carry out the operations
foreseen by the manufacturer and do not tamper with any device to obtain performances other than those
provided. Before use, check that the safety devices are correctly installed and efficient. Users, in addition to
striving to satisfy these requirements, must apply all the safety regulations and carefully read the descriptions
of the controls and start up.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
general unit description
The unit divides product crosswise in set quantities according to the packaging format.
Pressure pad (A) rises and falls through the action of pneumatic cylinder (B) and, with synchronised upper (H)
and lower (I) stop, allows for the passage of a preset quantity of product.
Belt conveyor (C), operated upon by chain (D), conveys the product with the help of product bars (E).
These are fixed to chains (F) which receive a signal from the frame and drive unit via chain (G).
The conveyor shaft (L) is equipped with a mechanic joint that intervenes in the event of “fallen product”.
The upper and lower guides (M-N) accompany the product along its track. They can be adjusted according to
the packaging size.

description of the electrical devices


Sensor/photocell (A): detects the intervention of the safety joint; in the event of a product jam, stops the ma-
chine in alarm conditions and signals “product bar joint” on the display.
Solenoid valve (B): operates the pneumatic cylinder for pressure pad movement.
The solenoid valve is combined with an electronic cam; the cam start phase commands the pad rise, on the
contrary, the cam end phase commands the pad descent.
Solenoid valve (C): drives the pneumatic cylinders that move the upper and lower stop.The solenoid valve
is combined with an electronic cam whose initial phase permits upper stop descent and lower stop rise and
whose end phase permits upper stop rise and lower stop descent.

information on use
recommendations for use and functioning
Accident frequency derived from machine use depends upon many factors that cannot always be foreseen and
controlled. Some accidents can depend upon unforeseeable environmental factors; others depend especially
upon the user’s behaviour. In addition to being authorised and appropriately informed, on first use personnel
must simulate some manoeuvres to identify the main commands and functions. Only carry out the operations
foreseen by the manufacturer and do not tamper with any device to obtain performances other than those
provided. Before use, check that the safety devices are correctly installed and efficient. Users, in addition to
striving to satisfy these requirements, must apply all the safety regulations and carefully read the descriptions
of the controls and start up.

Solenoid valve (C): drives the pneumatic system for glue spray on tray edges.
The solenoid valve is coupled with two electronic cams. The phase of the first starts and stops in synchroniza-
tion with the glue spray on the first point.
The phase of the second cam starts and stops in synchronization with the glue spray on the second point.
Solenoid valve (D): drives the pneumatic system to activate the “flap press” cylinders.
The flap press cylinders close the tray flaps in the event of sudden machine stop.
Solenoid valve (E): drives the pneumatic cylinder that moves the “flap folders”; the solenoid valve is coupled
with an electronic cam whose ON phase start permits cylinder movement to close the flap.
Sensor/photocell (F) (St@r T30 and T45 only): checks whether the “flap folder” cylinder completed movement;
the sensor is coupled with an electronic cam whose OFF phase end checks whether flap closure movement
completed by detecting sensor ON status.
During this check, if the sensor is in OFF conditions, the machine is stopped in “Flap folder fault” alarm condi-
tions.
Sensor/photocell (G) (St@r T60 only): detects axial limiter intervention and stops the machine in “flap folder
fault” alarm conditions.

information on use
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE AND FUNCTIONING
The frequency of accidents derived from machine use depends on many factors which cannot always be pre-
vented and controlled. Some accidents may depend on unexpected environmental factors, other mainly depend
on the user’s conduct. In addition to being authorised and appropriately trained, if necessary, users, upon first
use, should simulate some movements to identify controls and main functions. Only perform the manufacturer’s
foreseen uses and do not tamper with any device to achieve performances other than those.

GLUE APPLICATOR REFILL


The glue applicator requires the tank to be filled and glue to be heated. If the optional kit is installed, the mes-
sage “minimum glue” appears when the minimum level is reached to warn the operator.

Important

information on use
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE AND FUNCTIONING
Accident frequency derived from machine use depends upon many factors that cannot always be foreseen and
controlled. Some accidents can depend upon unforeseeable environmental factors; others depend especially
upon the user’s behaviour. In addition to being authorised and appropriately informed, on first use personnel
must simulate some manoeuvres to identify the main commands and functions. Only carry out the operations
foreseen by the manufacturer and do not tamper with any device to obtain performances other than those
provided. Before use, check that the safety devices are correctly installed and efficient. Users, in addition to
striving to satisfy these requirements, must apply all the safety regulations and carefully read the descriptions
of the controls and start up.

FORMAT CHANGE

Important
Perform the following operations each time product or packaging format change.

information on use
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE AND FUNCTIONING
Accident frequency derived from machine use depends upon many factors that cannot always be foreseen and
controlled. Some accidents can depend upon unforeseeable environmental factors; others depend especially
upon the user’s behaviour. In addition to being authorised and appropriately informed, on first use personnel
must simulate some manoeuvres to identify the main commands and functions. Only carry out the operations
foreseen by the manufacturer and do not tamper with any device to obtain performances other than those
provided. Before use, check that the safety devices are correctly installed and efficient. Users, in addition to
striving to satisfy these requirements, must apply all the safety regulations and carefully read the descriptions
of the controls and start up.
