6-1) Life expectancy of Heater Sheet
Check the condition of the heater sheet before starting the banding operation.
The sheet has expired if its color has changed to black, and it would need to be
replaced with a new one.
The sheet may be torn if the banding operation continues without replacing the
old sheet and could make the surface of the deposited portion opaque when the
band is bound. This may result in jams or shortening of the heater’s life.
6-2) How to check the Condition of Sheet
Replace the heater sheet with a new one if the
color of the heater section changes to black,
as shown in the figure on the right.
To replace the sheet, refer to “6. Sheet Replacement”.
