Mach 1 SONIC LPX - "Gentle Cycle"
Semi-automatic Low Profile Turntable Pallet Stretch Wrapper
"Gentle Cycle" Control Option
Comments:
- Demonstrates "Gentle Cycle" control option, for very light or unstable pallet loads
- Included at no extra cost in standard controls package
- This delicate cycle provides a slower rotation of the turntable during the first half of the wrap cycle until the carriage reaches the top of the load and one layer of film is applied. The turntable then accelerates to high speed for the rest of the wrapping cycle
- The slower rotation speed is user adjustable
- If other loads are to be wrapped using a "normal" cycle, we recommend pairing this option with the "Independent settings switch for 3 load types" option which allows operators to quickly and easily select between different load wrap types with the flip of a switch
- NOTE: no sound in video
Video Features:
- Operator starts the wrap cycle
- Compete automatic wrap cycle demonstrated
- begin rotation at slower speed
- wrap up
- auto height photoeye detects top of load
- one top wrap at slower speed
- turntable accelerates to full speed
- top wraps
- wrap down
- stop limit detects bottom of load
- bottom wraps
- stop rotation at home position
Mach 1 SONIC LPX - "Window Wrapper"
Semi-automatic Low Profile Turntable Pallet Stretch Wrapper
"Window Wrapper" Option
Comments:
- Typical / normal semi-automatic wrapping cycle
- Demonstrates wrapping of window (panel, or cabinet)
- There is sound, but no commentary or background music
Video Features:
- Operator places the window on the turntable of the wrapper by hand, and lowers the top platen down (footswitch control) to hold the window in place
- Operator attaches the leading film tail to the load
- Operator starts the wrap cycle
- Compete automatic wrap cycle demonstrated
- begin rotation
- wrap up
- machine detects top of load
- top wraps
- wrap down
- stop limit detects bottom of load
- bottom wraps
- stop rotation at home position
- Operator cuts film and wipes film tail to load
- Operator holds onto the window, raises the top platen (footswitch control), and removes the wrapped window
Mach 1 SONIC RT
Semi-automatic Rotary Tower Pallet Stretch Wrapper
Rotary Tower Semi-automatic
Applicable to models:
Comments:
- Rotary arm wrappers are suitable for applications in which very light or unstable loads are loaded into the wrapping machine using a manual pallet jack (aka. hand pump truck) or powered-walkie and cannot accommodate transfer up a ramp
- Shows pallet safety hoop and emergency stop photoeye system
- NOTE: no sound in video
Video Features:
- Operator places the load under the wrapping machine with a manual pallet jack (aka. hand pump truck)
- Operator loading the machine wrap (aka. stretch film) into the film carriage
[only required on first use or when the film roll runs out and needs to be replaced] - Operator attaches the leading film tail to the load
- Operator starts the wrap cycle
- Compete automatic wrap cycle demonstrated
- begin rotation
- wrap up
- auto height photoeye detects top of load
- top wraps
- wrap down
- stop limit detects bottom of load
- bottom wraps
- stop rotation at home position
- Operator cuts film and wipes film tail to load
Mach 1 SONIC LPA
Non-conveyorized (Portable) Automatic Low Profile Turntable Pallet Stretch Wrapper
"Portable" Automatic
Applicable to models:
Comments:
- The machine wrap (aka. stretch film) tail is automatically managed, not requiring an operator to attach the film to the load at the beginning of the wrapping process
- At the end of the cycle a fully automatic cut and wipe down seal is produced
- Forktruck operator does not need to dis-mount to load or unload the wrapper, nor to start the wrap cycle (i.e. remote start)
- Useful in high production rate environments where minimizing operational steps is important to increase efficiencies
- NOTE: no sound in video
Video Features:
- Operator remotely starts wrap cycle
- Compete automatic wrap cycle demonstrated
- begin rotation
- wrap up
- auto height photoeye detects top of load
- top wraps
- wrap down
- stop limit detects bottom of load
- bottom wraps
- stop rotation at home position
- alignment bar positions film
- film clamp grasps film
- cut/seal mechanism swings in, cutting the film and producing a wipe down seal
- end of cycle film carriage raise (to improve cycle time of next load)
Mach 1 DYNAMIC TTX
Fully Automatic Conveyorized Turntable Pallet Stretch Wrapper
Fully Automatic Conveyorized Turntable
Applicable to models:
Comments:
- Fully automatic operation accepts loads from an upstream pallet conveyor system, wraps the load, and discharges onto a downstream pallet conveyor system entirely without operator involvement
- During normal operation, the only time an operator is required is to load the machine wrap (aka. stretch film) into the film carriage when the film roll runs out and needs to be replaced (not shown)
- NOTE: no sound in video
Video Features:
- Fully automatic remote interlock accepts load from the upstream conveyor system
- The incoming load is automatically and precisely positioned in the wrap zone
- Following an automated safety check, the wrap cycle is automatically begun
- Compete automatic wrap cycle demonstrated
- begin rotation
- wrap up
- auto height photoeye detects top of load
- top wraps
- wrap down
- stop limit detects bottom of load
- bottom wraps
- stop rotation at home position
- alignment bar positions film
- film clamp grasps film
- cut/seal mechanism swings in, cutting the film and producing a wipe down seal
- the load begins to exit the wrap zone allowing the wipe down brush to seal the film tail to the load
- the load proceeds to the end of the outfeed conveyor
- the remote interlock to the upstream conveying system will signal that the wrapper is available to accept another load
