7. Operation / settings
7.1. Description of components
The T200/2 consists of the following components:
Tensioning and transport system:
The transport system feeds the strap through the strap guide channel around the
package and back to the strapping head. There the strap end activates the strap
stop switch. During the strap retraction the strap is tightened around the package
and tensioned according to the preset tension.
Sealing unit:
The sealing unit is controlled by the cam gear. It clamps the strap ends, cuts the
strap and forms the friction weld joint.
Friction welding unit:
The sealing motor generates the movement of the oscillator which provides the
required heat for joint forming. During the friction movement the straps are
pressed together and thus heat-sealed.
Strap guides:
The strap guides are the connection between the strapping head and the strap
guide channel which leads the strap around the package.
Attention!
Prior to any adjustments or settings the strapping head must
be put out of operation and disconnected from the power
supply.

7.2. Pushbuttons
Pushbutton "touch control cam gear":
The push-button "touch control cam gear" is used for gradual touch control of the
cam gear in manual mode. The cam shaft turns to the subsequent position
following a touch of the push-button.
Pushbutton "strap insertion":
When actuating the push-button "strap insertion" the function relating to the cam
gear position is performed. The main function is the manual activation of the strap
transport motor for strap insertion.

T200/2 19
7.3. Strap insertion
Attention!
Before insertion of the strap it must be observed that the cam gear
is in basic position. This is shown by the fact that the counter plate
and the head channel are closed. Otherwise strap insertion is not
possible.
Push the strap as shown in the below figure into the strapping head. The strap is
fed-in by pressing the push-button "strap insertion".
Wear protective gloves because the strap may slide through
the hand!

7.4. Strap width setting
Attention!
Prior to any settings or adjustments the strapping head must be
disconnected from the power supply.
The strapping head T200/2 can process strap of 9, 12 and 16 mm width. Therefore it is
required to adjust or modify the strapping head according to the respective strap width.
First, remove the 5 screws (A) and the front cover plate.
