The electric control is advanced and the front and behind of the equipment all can control the running of paper feeding part. When the paper feeding part feeds paper, it begins to count with photoelectric technology. It also can set up a certain batches to feed paper and freely control the interval time between two batches. So it’s very simple to operate.
Quick speed and the middle grade paper box can produce 8000~25000 boxes hourly.
ZH series high-speed automatic folder gluer machine is redesigned and manufactured by our factory based on absorbing the advantages from BOBST folder gluer machine and various imported folder gluer machines. The feature of the improved machine has simple compact, complete, flexible and convenient functions.
This machine possesses the functions of automatically paper feeding, automatically gluing, automatically folding and forming, automatically counting etc. and it’s really a full-automatic folder gluer machine. It also has the advantages of quick speed, simple operation, electric saving and paste saving etc.
It is mainly suitable for inside packing box paste and forming of various paper boxes, such as the tobacco box, medicinal box, make-up box, electric box and stationery box etc. and is ideal equipment for resolving the defects of over-paste, degumming or uneven pressure of the traditional handcraft paste box.
The test of the paper feeding part (see picture 1) is a base of folder gluer, which can play important composition to whole folder gluer procedure. So please pay close attention to it while testing. The paper feeding part consists of five paper feeding belts, roll axle, two paper withstanding knives, two stainless steel back plates and one photoelectric counting sensor etc.
The tightness of the belt can be adjusted through two ends tight screw under the front roll axle. There are two methods to move the belt: First method is to loosen the adjustable screw on both ends tensile bearing and then loosen the plate tight screw of the shift groove wheel, thus the belt can be moved freely;
The second method is to use the rotary method to move the belt in hand or dynamic. When moving, you can close the front main machine (close with the triplex coupling air switch in electric distributor, close the frequency converter while opening). But please pay attention to safety, this method is suitable for small amplitude moving.
The position of the two paper baffle knife row has four requirements: First, withstand the hard face of the belt (the position of roll axle under the belt); Second, the better the near of the fold line is. Do not deviate the position of the behind fold belt, otherwise, the paper sheet is easy to slope; Third, withstand the most front end of paper sheet.
The most front end is easy to touch the belt; Fourth, the front and behind lengths of paper withstood part should be the same, otherwise, it will cause the paper slope due to friction unparallel. The low end of the paper baffle knife row and the interval of the belt are standard based on a thickness of a piece of paper.
The dynamic power of driving the paper sheet is the friction power between the belt and the lowest layer, so the touch face of the paper box and belt is very important. Add more belts possibly under the paper sheet. The tail part can be raised highly for large box and can be dropped down for small box. The paper feeding part also equips with a vibrator. Users can select whether you need the vibrator or not. There are two photoelectric tubes on the sensor, which can be aligned with the side of the paste port.
The paper feeding part is connected sheet by sheet continuously while feeding paper. Paper feeds from the paper feeding part to the pasting part (see picture 2). Before going to the pasting part, first adjust the right and left moving rows well. Please refer to the folding part how to adjust it. The speeds of the belt of pasting part and paper feeding part are different.
The pasting part is fast but the paper feeding part is slow. When the paper sheet enters the pasting part, the side, which first enters the pasting part, will first get the tensile composition, so as to let the paper sheet slope, so please adjust well the front and behind moves of two rows small wheels on the belt of pasting part, so that two sides can enter the paper sheet at the same time and can’t be slopped.
After adjusting the box correctly, finally shake the glue wheel to the proper position of the paste port. Press the front press wheel and let the glue completely adhere the paste port and balance with the box edge. Adjust the glue quantity with the small hand wheel beside the glue box.
The paper box will enter the fold part after pasting. The fold part mainly consists of four parts. (See picture 3)
The tightness of upper and lower, right and left of the fold belt should be identical. Two upper adjustable handles use to adjust the two upper belts and two lower adjustable handles use to adjust the two lower belts. (adjust separately)
Two removal rows can be adjusted with the hand wheel according to the dimension of the paper box. The width of adjusting two belts is wider 1-2 mm of the trace of the folded paper box edge.
Two widths of folded knife row should be less 1-2 mm of the paper box folded trace. The height between the fold knife and belt should be wider of the thickness of a paper sheet. The fold knife row in upper and lower, right and left has adjusting part to be fixed on the moving row, so it’s unnecessary to adjust the knife row to the paper box with little different thickness.
The back wheel outside the belt and natural curve of the fold belt should be coincided. Do not lean against too tight. Do not bend too strong while the paper box walks to the bend part. Adjust the belt with the back wheel into the natural curve bend per the press trace line of the paper box. After the paper box wholly enters the fold tape, the behind two press wheels will press the two sides of the paper box tightly and to be formed and then enters the press part.
The fold part also equips with two stainless steel wires, which mainly point to the flat box. The flat box is disassembled one side first, so it’s difficult to reach the requirement with belt, this time, you can use the stainless steel wires to help. (see picture 4)
The fold part also equips with a groove flat wheel, which mainly points to the flat box and lets the other side of the flat box enter first. (see picture 5)
The press part consists of four large wheels and one stroke protective switch (see picture 6). Four wheels mainly charge the pasted box not to rebound and fold the paper box to be sent to behind convey part.
The stroke switch mainly protects the paper box not to be damaged. If some individual paper boxes have problems and cause jam, the jammed paper boxes impact the stroke switch and the equipment will stop running immediately, which will not let the behind normal paper boxes cause waste.
The convey part mainly consists of two wide belts and a row of rollers. There are hand wheels of pressure adjustment on the roller (separately mounted on both sides of removal frame), which mainly adjust the box pressure (see picture 7).
The upper belt can move forward and backward with the frame, which can take adjustment play to long boxes or short boxes. The convey part will make the folded paper boxes be pressed at the middle of the belt and send them to the behind collection part, let the paper box paste and then bale them to leave the factory. (see picture 8)
The electric part consists of the controller, speed adjuster and counter etc. (see picture 9,10)
The controller mainly provides the power to the speed adjuster and two motors. The speed revolution of the two motors is controlled by a frequency converter, so the front, middle and behind three parts of the whole equipment can be synchronic from zero speed to the max speed. It’s very convenient for operation.
There are three indicating lamps on the panel (see picture 9), which will be separately controlled by the lower start and stop switches. The electric power indicating lamp is on that means the power is on normally. The main motor indicating lamp is on that means the motor starts to run.
The paper feeder indicating lamp is on that means the paper feeder motor works normally. The speed revolution of the two motors is adjusted by the potentiometer on the frequency converter. The speed adjuster adopts the advanced frequency converter.
It’s very important part in equipment. Our factory selects the original Japanese Panasonic frequency converter all the time, so the equipment runs steadily. There are quite more internal functions of frequency converter. In general, they have been set properly while they leave the factory.
If you want to reset the functions, please inquire the professional personnel or contact our factory. Do not do them by yourselves, otherwise the internal procedures will be confused. There is a belt plate on the paper feeding motor axle, which can change the speed. It can change the speed ratio between the paper feeding part and fold part on the different belt wheel groove through V-belt, so as to change the interval of paper box on the fold part (the interval can be decided through the paper box structure).
The paper feeding motor also can be controlled by the counter (see picture 10). After setting a certain batches on the counter, the paper box transmission of the paper feeding part will begin to count through the photoelectric sensor of the counter till the set quantity, such as 50 sheets, the counter will control the paper feeder and stop the machine.
Its stop time also can be controlled by the delay relay on the counter. After getting the delay time, the motor also begins to work and feed paper. If the delay time is set to zero, the counter only count the accumulating quantity and not count the batch quantity. There is an electric stop protector of the data on the counter, which will let the data not lose.
Once needing to inquire it, please press the rear buttons of the counter. The original data will be indicated immediately. Close the power switch of the counter while stopping machine. Do not dial the power wire or pull the switch blade, otherwise the internal batteries of the counter will consume continuously and will exhaust in full.
There are machine stop switches in front, middle and behind of the equipment. Once the equipment is found some problems suddenly, the operator can control emergent stop in any positions, the front motor switch, middle protective switch or the behind stop switch.
The equipment also equips with a wire itching switch, which can bring convenience for adjusting the paper box. Close the button switch of motor on the panel while using it.
The vibrator equips with a button switch, but it’s also controlled by the paper feeding part, because the paper feeder is not open, it’s no magnificent to open the vibrator.
In usual, open or close the switch general power, first close the button switch of main motor, otherwise, it will have great impact to the frequency converter and easy to damage the equipment.
To sum up, the testing steps are: 1) Paper Feeding Part; 2) Pasting Part; 3) Fold Part; 4) Press Part; 5) Convey Part; 6) Glue adjusting box; 7) Counter.
| Breakdown | Reason | Shooting Method |
| Paper-out slope | 1: Paper baffle interval is too large |
2: Interval between the paper baffle knife and belt is not aligned or not symmetric.
Adjust the baffle knife to let paper pass properly
2: Head of the middle protective stroke switch impacts some objectives.
