6.3.1 FDS and Counterweight

The FDS pre-stretches and applies the


film.
The belt connects the counterweight
and the FDS. The counterweight
balances the weight of the FDS.

6.3.2 FDS Lift Drive


The drive raises and lowers the FDS
during the wrap cycle.
FDS Up, Down Proximity sensors
The mast includes 2 proximity sensors
that sense the maximum travel of the
FDS.
These sensors are adjustable. Use
them to set the maximum up and down
travel limits of the FDS.

FDS Belt Slack Switch


This switch senses a loose belt
condition.
A loose belt stops the FDS down
travel.

6.3.4 Pallet Grip
Standard on Q400 XT

Option on Q300XT

The Pallet Grip locks the load to the pallet.


It includes an angled roller, a groove roller and
pivoting roller.
As the FDS lowers, the Pallet Grip engages and
makes a cable of film. This cable attaches below
the top boards of the pallet to lock the load to the
pallet.

Angled Roller moves the film down and helps


to align the edge of the film on the groove roller.
The roller attaches to the gate.

Groove Roller is adjustable to increase,


decrease the quantity of film that makes the
cable. The roller attaches to the gate.
Figure 6.6
Pivoting Roller is actuated by the machine
base. The roller moves the film cable down on the pallet. The actuator is adjustable to increase,
decrease the angle of the roller.

Pallet Grip Film Tail Reduction


To decrease the dimensions of the
beginning film tail (Film Tail
Reduction), set the P.4. Preset timer to
3.0 seconds.

Film Tail Elimination
Use the Configuration Setup to engage this option (Configuration Bit C-17).

Film Tail Elimination Sequence

1. The wrap cycle starts and the FDS is at the bottom of the load.
2. The Pallet Grip engages.
3. The FDS moves to the top of the load to apply the top wraps.
4. The turntable speed decreases and the XT Cut and Clamp engages to release the beginning
of the film tail.
5. The FDS applies the top wraps and moves to the bottom of the load to apply the bottom
wraps.
6. The film cable assembly engages to make a cable of film on the bottom edge of the film.
7. The pivoting roller engages to apply the film cable to the pallet.
8. As the FDS applies the bottom wraps, the beginning of the film tail wraps before the film
clamp and cut sequence.

WARNING
Obey all Lockout/Tagout procedures before you change, adjust, repair a part.

2. Record the current position of jumper J4 on the motor control board. Move it to the CAL
position.
3. Make sure that the jumper J1 is set to STD.
Note: The 20 CAL and 30 CAL jumper settings, potentiometers do not apply.
4. Attach the voltmeter positive lead to load cell output (TP-Load Cell In) and negative lead to
circuit common (TP-C).
5. Apply the power and push the Power On button.

Calibration - These steps make sure that the load cell senses the force on the load.

6. Make sure that there is no pressure on the load cell and the voltmeter shows 0 VDC. If a
voltage is more than 0, adjust the Zero Offset potentiometer to 0 VDC.
7. Thread the film and use a force gauge to apply 2.3 kg (5 lbs) of force to the film.
8. Make sure that the voltmeter shows 1 VDC at load cell output. If the voltage is negative,
turn the load cell 180.

To adjust:
9. Turn the GAIN CAL potentiometer clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to
decrease the output. The GAIN CAL is on the FDS in the small junction box.
10. Complete the calibration at 2.3 kg (5 lbs) and increase the force to 4.5 kg (10 lbs). Make sure
that the voltage is 2 VDC at load cell output.
11. Disconnect the power.
12. Remove the voltmeter leads from the circuit. Refer to the position of jumper J4 in step 2 and
move it to the original position.

7.5 Potentiometer Settings
7.5.1 Film Delivery System
Dead Band (DB) Keeps the motor in position.
If Dead Band is set too low, a small output voltage can cause the motor to move.
If the motor continues to move down, (drift):
1. Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise until the motor stops.
2. Measure the voltage between the M1 and M2 terminals to make sure that the output is 0
VDC.

Response (RESP) Dynamic Response Control - This potentiometer sets the response of the
control board. If the potentiometer is set too high, it can cause the control board to operate
incorrectly.

Internal Resistance Compensation - This controls how the motor control board measures the
differences between a load and a no-load condition. This is a factory setting.
If you replace the FDS motor, see the steps below.
1. Move the FDS up at low speed with a full film roll.
2. Attach the film to the load and make sure that you maximize the force-to-load.
3. If the motor surges, turn the potentiometer clockwise.

Reverse Current Limit (RCL) Controls the maximum current to the FDS lift motor when it
moves up.
Forward Current Limit (FCL) Controls the maximum current (amperage) to the FDS drive
when it moves down.
Maximum Speed (MAX) Controls the maximum speed of the FDS in the down direction.
1. Turn the FDS Speed knob clockwise.
2. Adjust the voltage to 90 VDC.
3. Measure the voltage across the M1 and M2 terminals.

Forward Acceleration (FACC) Controls the FDS rate of acceleration in the down direction.
Adjust counterclockwise to decrease the time.
Adjust clockwise to increase the time.

Reverse Acceleration (RACC) Controls the FDS rate of acceleration in the up direction.

1. Operate the turntable at low speed with a full film roll.
2. Attach the film to the load and make sure that you maximize the force-to-load.
3. If the motor surges, turn the potentiometer clockwise.

Reverse Current Limit (RCL) Controls the maximum current to the turntable. The RCL sets
the current available to the motor to decrease the speed at the end of the wrap cycle.

Forward Current Limit (FCL) Controls the maximum current (amperage) to the turntable
drive when it accelerates.

Minimum Speed (Min) Controls the speed that the turntable turns during Home speed at the
end of the cycle.
1. Push the Turntable Jog button to move the turntable off the Home position.
2. Push the Home button.
3. Adjust the MIN potentiometer to get 16 VDC at terminals M1 and M2.

Maximum Speed (Max) Controls the maximum rotation speed.


1. Turn the Turntable Speed knob fully clockwise.
2. Adjust the potentiometer to 12 RPM.
Refer to Section 3 for options that can change the speed of the turntable.

The steps below make sure that the motor control board adjusts to the changes of force that is
applied to the load during the wrap cycle.

Low Speed Operation


Adjust the TCI potentiometer counterclockwise if the FDS, at homing speed, pulses, chatters, or
surges.

Normal Speed Operation


During the wrap cycle, look for changes in the force to the film. An example is that the force
tightens as the demand increases at the corners of the load.
Increase the KP potentiometer function if the force at the corners is high. Turn the KP
potentiometer clockwise to adjust.
Decrease the KP potentiometer function if the force at the corners is low. Turn the KP
potentiometer counterclockwise to adjust.

Irregular Speed Operation


This condition can occur on rectangular loads and long narrow loads.
If the KP adjustment does not minimize the symptoms, turn the potentiometer slowly clockwise
in small increments (up to a maximum turn).
Make sure that the KD potentiometer is set fully counterclockwise for standard operations.

Heavier Gauge Film


A different film can pull more horsepower from the pre-stretch.
If this condition occurs, refer to the motor nameplate for the full load current. Set the J3 jumper
to a higher setting.
Turn the Force to Load potentiometer fully counterclockwise for low force. Adjust the current
limit to calibrate the low force setting.
Turn the current limit potentiometer clockwise to increase the current to the motor.
