Section A — Requirements for Proper Operation (Checklist)
Before operating the TD-35 Tape Applicator Head, ensure all the following conditions are met:
- The height (gap between the paper and the applicator head) is correctly adjusted.
- The tape roll feeds smoothly.
- The tape feeding limiter guide aligns the tape perfectly straight and matches the tape width.
- The cutting blade cuts the tape cleanly and accurately.
- The brake holds the tape with sufficient tension.
- The taping roller makes contact with a rigid surface.
- The piston rod extension is positioned correctly.
- The piston activation timing (on/off) is synchronized properly.
⚙️ Note:
Settings 1, 4, 7, and 8 require fine-tuning for optimal performance.
In most cases, items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are factory preset and should not be adjusted unless you are experienced and fully understand their function.
Section B — Setup Steps After Unboxing (Manual Taping Test)
Follow these steps to set up a new TD-35 from the factory:
- Install the tape roll and route it correctly according to the video guide.
- Pull out 10–30 cm of tape from the bottom of the taping roller.
- Turn on the air pressure (set to 0.2 MPa).
- You should now be able to cut the excess 10–20 cm of tape easily by pulling it.
- Adjust Section A Item 3 (tape guide width).
- Mount the applicator onto your production line — maintain a bottom gap of approximately 8 mm from the conveyor belt or roller.
- Verify Section A Item 6 (taping roller surface).
- Pass your product under the applicator, then manually press and hold the solenoid valve button to activate the piston.
- The taping roller (with tape) should contact the product surface and apply the tape smoothly as you move it.
- When you release the solenoid valve button, the tape should be cut cleanly.
Verification for Steps B1 – B4
✅ OK:
- Items A2, A4, and A5 are functioning correctly.
❌ NOT OK:
- Check A2: Tape must feed smoothly along the correct path.
- Check A5: If the brake is loose, tighten it.
- Check A4: If cutting is inconsistent, fine-tune the blade position. Extend the blade about 1 mm test again until it cuts cleanly. Ensure the blade is sharp.
Verification for Steps B5 – B10
✅ OK:
- Items A1, A3, and A6 are functioning correctly.
❌ NOT OK:
- Recheck A6 and A3 first.
- Then adjust A1 (height):
If the tape doesn’t adhere to your product, fine-tune the height by adjusting the height set screw.
Turn the screw half a turn at a time, test again, and repeat until the taping is reliable and consistent for every pass.
Section C — Automatic Taping Mode
- Before proceeding, ensure Section B (manual taping) is completed successfully.
- Start feeding your product at a low speed (around 30 m/min). Feed one piece at a time — not continuously.
- Test automatic taping operation.
- Fine-tune the solenoid valve activation start and end timing.
- Remember, the pneumatic piston has a natural delay — you must compensate for this.
- If you change the product feeding speed, you will need to readjust the solenoid valve activation timing again.
