Intended Use
The intended use of the AccuGlide™ HST 2 Inch
Upper and Lower Taping Heads is to apply a "C"
clip of Scotch®pressure-sensitive film box sealing
tape to the top and/or bottom center seam of regular
slotted containers.
These taping heads are incorporated into most
standard 3M-Matic™ case sealers. The compact
size and simplicity of the taping head also makes
it suitable for mounting in box conveying systems
other than 3M-Matic™ case sealers. This includes
replacement of other types of taping, gluing or
stapling heads in existing case sealing machines.
The AccuGlide™ HST 2" Taping Heads have
been designed and tested for use with Scotch®
pressure-sensitive film box sealing tape.

Installation
1. The box conveying system must positively
propel the box in a continuous motion, not
exceeding 0.76m/s [150 feet per minute], past
the taping head assembly since the box motion
actuates the taping mechanism.
2. If a pusher or cleated conveyor is being used,
steps should be taken in the conveyor design to
prevent the pusher from contacting the applying
or buffing roller arms resulting in damage to the
taping head.
Receiving And Handling
After the taping head assembly has been
unpackaged, examine the unit for damage that
might have occurred during transit. If damage is
evident, file a damage claim immediately with the
transportation company and also notify your 3M
Representative.
Installation Guidelines
The taping head assembly can be used in convert-
ing existing or in custom made machinery.
It can be mounted for top taping or bottom taping.
Refer to "Box Size Capacities," as well as Figure
2-1 in the Specifications section, for the following
points in making such installations:
4. Mounting studs are provided with the taping
head, but special installations may require
alternate means for mounting.
5. Box hold-down or guide skis should be provided
and the taping head mounted so that the side
plates are 6mm [1/4 inch] maximum away from
the ski surface on which the box rides.
Tape Leg Length
Taping heads are factory set to apply standard
70mm [2-3/4 inch] tape legs. The heads can be
converted to apply 50mm [2 inch] tape legs if desired
but both upper and lower heads must be set to ap-
ply the same tape leg length. See "Adjustments –
Changing Tape Leg Length From 70 to 50mm
[2-3/4 to 2 Inches]."
Also, the conveyor speed at which the product
moves through the taping heads, affects the leading
and trailing tape leg length. See "Adjustments sec-
tion – Leading Tape Leg Length Adjustment."
Tape Width Adjustment
Taping heads are factory set to apply 48mm [2 inch]
wide tape. If it is necessary to align the tape or to
apply narrower tapes, refer to "Adjustments – Tape
Web Alignment" for set-up procedure.
Note – AccuGlide™ HST 2" Upper Taping
Head is supplied with a buffing arm guard.
Adjustments to this guard may be required to
install the taping head into some older design
3M-Matic™ case sealers.
3. Figure 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting
relationship for opposing taping head
assemblies to allow taping of box heights down
to 90mm [3-1/2 inches]. To tape box heights
down to 70mm [2-3/4 inches], the taping heads
must be completely staggered so only one tape
seal is being applied at one time.
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
- Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards.
The blades are extremely sharp.
WARNING
Important – Always conduct a hazard review to
determine appropriate guarding requirements
when the installation is in an application other
than 3M-MaticTM equipment.
• To reduce risk associated with muscle
strain:
- Use proper body mechanics when
removing or installing taping heads
that are moderately heavy or may be
considered awkward to lift

It is recommended that the detailed instructions and
sketches in this manual be referred to the first few
times the taping head is loaded/threaded until the
operator becomes thoroughly familiar with the tape
loading operation.
Note – Remove tape roll before removing taping
head from machine to minimize weight.
Operation (continued)
Figure 3-3
Insert threading needle through rollers in direction
indicated by arrows.
5. Pull the threading needle down until the tape
travels between the apply plate and the ears of
the apply arm (Position 4) until it extends past
the applying roller. When properly threaded the
adhesive side of the tape should be facing the
knurled rollers at position 2 and also position 3.
6. Cut away any excess tape.
Important – Do not cut against the apply roller -
roller damage could occur.
Tape Loading – Lower Taping Head
1. Remove the lower taping head from the
conveyor bed or associated equipment and
place it a convenient working position.
2. The lower taping head is loaded and threaded
in the same manner as the upper head. Follow
the upper taping head tape loading/threading
procedure.
Tape Loading – Upper Taping Head
1. Place the upper taping head in a convenient
working position.
2. Use Figures 3-3 to 3-5 and tape threading la-
bel. Position the tape supply roll so the adhesive
side of tape is facing the front of the taping head
as it is pulled from the supply roll.
3. Attach the threading needle to the end of the
roll. Guide the threading needle around the wrap
roller (Position 1) then back around the one-way
tension roller (Position 2).
4. Continue pulling the threading needle down and
guide it between the two rollers on the apply arm
(Position 3).
• To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:
−Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,
maintenance, or servicing the machine or taping heads
−Never attempt to work on the taping heads or load tape when the box drive system is running
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards.
The blades are extremely sharp
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with
muscle strain:
−Use proper body mechanics when
removing or installing taping heads that
are moderately heavy or may be
considered awkward to lift
• To reduce the risk associated with impact
hazards:
−Place the taping head on a smooth level

3. Bottom the blade slots against the screws. (This
will position the blade at the correct angle.)
Tighten the blade screws to secure the blade.
Blade Guard
The blade guard covers the blade whenever a box
is not being taped. Periodically check to be sure the
blade guard is functioning properly and returning to
cover the blade. Replace any defective parts.
Blade Oiler Pad
The taping heads are equipped with a felt oiler pad
that has been pre-lubricated at the factory to
provide a film of oil on the cutting edge of the blade
to reduce adhesive build-up. Apply SAE #30 non-
detergent oil as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
The AccuGlide™ HST 2 Inch Taping Head has been
designed for long, trouble free service. The taping
head will perform best when it receives routine
maintenance and cleaning. Taping head components
that fail or wear excessively should be promptly
repaired or replaced to prevent damage to other
portions of the head or to the product.
Blade Replacement, Upper and Lower Taping Heads
– Figure 4-1
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the blade screws (A).
Remove and discard old blade.
2. Mount the new blade (B) with the beveled side
away from the blade holder.
Maintenance
• To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:
−Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,
maintenance, or servicing the taping heads
−Never attempt to work on the taping head or load tape while the box drive system is running
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards.
The blades are extremely sharp
WARNING
Note – Check the blade position to insure proper
clearance between blade and guard by slowly
pivoting the blade guard back.
