1. GENERAL
The SIGNODE AK200 Plastic Strapping Head is designed to be used for applying various
qualities of plastic strapping fully automatically.
The head is only part of the strapping installation, which consists of the main structure, chute
system and control panel.
In order to ensure trouble free operation it is important that all operation and maintenance
personnel have received adequate instruction about the operating sequence of the head.
Furthermore, it is important that all will be familiar with the operation and maintenance manual
as supplied with the strapping head.
When operating and maintaining the head, it is important to regard all safety regulations valid in
the country of operation and supplied by the appropriate safety board or organization.
NOTE:
Before starting the head, check feeding direction of strap drive.
For a long lifetime of the feed wheel ring, it is important that the feed wheel ring does not run
without strap during strap threading. The strap feed control time depends on the strap chute
size and must be set as short as possible (max. 0.5 sec longer as necessary to fill up the strap
chute).
The tension control time must always be set shorter than the overall feeding time so that the
strap cannot escape out of the head, and that always strap rests between feed wheel ring and
roller chain, see adjustments of roller chain 7.6 , page 19.

3.3 Operation Description
The strapping head is in home position. The camshaft display indicator is on - 0 - position, and
the camshaft is blocked against rotation in anti-clockwise direction further than the - 0 - position
on the camshaft display. The switch B104 is activated, indicating that the shutter is closed.
With start of the strap cycle program, strap feeding will be initiated. While strap feeding the
motor M24 (see drwg. 464631, pos. 82, page 33) is running in clockwise direction. The small
clutch Y37 "high speed" (see drwg. 100.36, pos. 41, Page 43) of the transmission is activated
and the strap is fed through the chute system at high speed.
On re-entry of the strap into the head, the limit switch B102 positioned in the strap guide wedge
will be activated (see drwg. 464631, pos. 76, page 33). The activated strap feed switch initiates
the large clutch Y22 after a delayed time, causing the motor M24 to interrupt feeding after a
certain time, depending on the setting of the time relay. This setting directly influences the strap
overlap length. During strap feed the camshaft brake Y38 is energised.
Next step; strap being clamped, will be initiated. The motor changes into counter clockwise
direction, at the same time the strap drive brake Y36 will be activated and the "camshaft brake"
Y38 is de-energised. The large clutch Y22 will be activated and the camshaft rotates in
clockwise direction from position 0 into position 1. The proximity switch B106 "max strap tension
reached" will be activated for the first time. The camshaft stops at position 1 and the tip of the
strap will be clamped by the gripper (see drwg. 464655, pos. 8, page 39). Camshaft brake Y38
will be activated again. The strap drive brake Y36 will be de-activated.
6
Next step; strap tension will be initiated. The camshaft brake Y38 will now be activated and the
brake Y36 is de-energised. The large clutch Y22 in the transmission is de-energised and the
small clutch Y37 will be activated. The strap drive changes rotation at high speed and the strap
is pulled out of the strap chute system and is applied around the package (during high tension
the camshaft brake Y38 will be de-energised after a certain delayed time).
When the strap has been applied to the package, the strap drive is slowed down by the strap
being tensioned and the function of the planetary gear shaft rotates the camshaft from position 1
into point 2. Hereby the camshaft has to overcome the spring pressure of the pre-tension spring
(see drwg. 100.07, pos. 17, page 58).
At point 2 the sensor "Pre-tension reached" (switching fast -slow) will be free. The diode does
not gleam anymore (see drwg. 464631, pos. 79, page 33). Therefore the small clutch Y37 is de-
energised and the large clutch Y22 is activated. The transmission is now running at slow speed.
Depend on the adjusted spring resistance for the max. strap tension the camshaft rotation will
be retarded. The strap drive rotates now at slow speed until the strap drive will be stopped by
the raising strap tension and the camshaft rotates from point 3 into point 4.
Because of the planetary gear drive function and depending on the raising strap tension and
raising resistance due to the risk of the cam disc a relative moment between the strap drive and
camshaft occurs, until the adjusted max. strap tension on camshaft point 4 has been reached.
At camshaft point 4 the sensor "Strap tension reached" will be activated for the second time
(diode lit). The brake Y36 will be activated and blocks the strap drive via the gears in position 4.
The tensioned strap will now be held by the strap drive. The camshaft rotates from point 4 into
position 5. In position 5 the strap end (loop) will be fully clamped by the loop grip (see drwg.
464655, pos. 7, Page 39). The sensor "Pre-tension reached" will be activated again.
With this switch point the camshaft brake Y38 will be activated and the motor M24 and the large
clutch Y22 will be de-energised.
Also the brake Y36 for strap drive will be de-energised after a delayed time (400 ms).
Next step, "strap end cutting at no load" will be initiated. During the strap loosen time "time set in
the program" the strap will be loosen and turned the strap drive for a short time in feeding
direction until the strap is without load.
After the strap loosen time and a additional delay time (500 ms) the strap can cut under no load.
The motor M24 will be energised in tension direction, the large clutch Y22 and strap drive brake
Y36 will be activated and the camshaft brake Y38 will be de-energised again.
7
The camshaft rotates from position 5 to position 7 and the next step, welding will be initiated.
Thereby the vibrator support moves forward with the cutter blade and vibrator.
(see drwg. 464655, pos. 9, 22, 25, Page 39).
At point 6 the sensor "Pre-tension reached" will be de-activated again. With this switching point
the weld motor will be started, and via the eccentric drive of the vibrator the weld oscillation will
be reached. First the cutter blade cuts off the strap end under no load and the vibrator presses
both straps oscillating on top of another. The oscillation process melts both layers of strap
together. Depending on the strap quality the programme sequence is set (approx. 0, 5 sec) and
the weld motor stops. The strap ends will be combined by the motionless vibrator. At position 7
the camshaft stops as long as the cool off time is set in the programme sequence
(approx. 3 sec.), so the melted joint is able to cool off under pressure.
8
After the cool off time has expired, strap release will be initiated. The camshaft rotates from
position 7 into point 8. Gripper, loop grip and vibrator move backwards to its home point 8.
The camshaft rotates from point 8 without stopping into position 9. The shutter starts opening
(sensor "Shutter close" will be de-activated) and is in fully open position at position 9 (sensor
"Shutter open" is occupied and sensor “Pre-tension reached” will be de-activated again). The
"Camshaft brake" Y38 will be activated and holds the camshaft in position until next step
"Shutter close" will be activated. At the same time the large clutch Y22 ("slow speed") de-
energises and the motor M24 rotates in idle position.
At this point, the head is moved away from the package, releasing the strap from the sealing
mechanism until limit switch "Head back to home position" (machine installation) is activated.
Next step; "Shutter close" is activated. The camshaft rotates now from position 9 into position 0.
Hereby the "strap drive brake" Y36 is activated and the camshaft brake Y38 de-activated. At the
same time the large clutch Y22 is activated.
Before reaching position 0, the sensor "Strap tension reached" will be de-activated again and
that time the large clutch Y22, motor M24 and the strap drive brake Y36 have to be deactivated.
The camshaft brake Y38 has to be activated and stops the camshaft in position 0. The camshaft
rests in position 0 and the shutter is closed. Is the sensor “shutter close” activated also, the
head is in home position and ready for further application.
Note:
See sequence of operation for exact time schedules. Any manual adjustment in the operational
sequence shall be done by skilled personnel only.

4. POSITIONS ON THE CAMSHAFT DISPLAY
Position 0: The strapping head is in home position. Camshaft brake Y38 holds the
camshaft (time controlled) in position 0. The camshaft is blocked against
turning in counter-clockwise direction further than 0 position via a freewheel.
The proximity switch "Shutter Close" is activated. During strap feed the
camshaft brake Y38 is energised.
Position 1: "Tip of strap is clamped". Proximity switch "max. strap tension reached" will
be activated for the first time. The feed motor rotates in counter-clockwise
direction and the take-up cycle is started at high speed. During high tension
the camshaft brake Y38 will be de-energised after a delayed time.
Position 2: Proximity switch "Pre-tension reached" will be free. Shifting from "High speed"
to "Low speed" is activated.
Position 3: Strap will be tensioned. Sensor “max. strap tension reached” will be de-
activated again.
Position 4: Max. strap tension is reached. The cam follower is at highest point of cam
200.7 The camshaft is blocked by the freewheel so the camshaft has no
chance to rotate in counter-clockwise direction. The spring package is
pressed together to its maximum for the max. pre-set strap tension. The
sensor "max. strap tension reached" will be activated for the second time. The
brake Y36 will be activated.
Position 5: Loop grip presses firmly both straps (tip of strap and strap end clamped).
Proximity switch "Pre-tension reached" will be activated again. Hereby strap
slacken (strap at no load) is activated.
Position 6: The vibrator and cutter blade move forward. The strap will be cut off at no
load. The sensor "Pre-tension reached" will be de-activated again. With this
switching point the weld motor starts and both strap ends are welded.
Position 7 Proximity switch "Pre-tension reached" will be activated for the second time
The camshaft stops as long as the cool off time is set in the programme
sequence.
Position 8: Vibrator, loop grip and gripper return into home position. Pusher starts
opening.
Position 9: Pusher is fully opened sensor " Shutter open" is occupied and sensor “Pre-
tension reached” will be de-activated again, the joint moves out of the
mechanism. Camshaft brake Y38 is activated and blocks the camshaft until
next step "Shutter close" will be activated.
Position 0: The sensor "strap tension reached" will be de-activated again and sensor
“Shutter close” will be activated, the camshaft brake will be activated and stops
the camshaft in position 0 and the shutter is closed.
Note: Further description see section 3.3 and camshaft position next page.

4.2 COMMENTS TO THE PLANETARY GEAR DRIVE (Strap Drive)
The planetary gear drive on the strap drive has the following major function:
1. It takes over the strap feeding in feeding direction. The feed wheel ring is driven
via the solid shaft, drwg. 464626, pos. 2, page 47 and the planetary gears, pos.
10. The planetary gear shaft (hollow shaft) pos. 1 will be held in position by the
operative camshaft brake via the gear pos. 9.
2. It takes over the strap feed in take-up direction (tension direction). The feed
wheel ring is driven via the solid shaft drwg. 464626, pos. 2, page 47 and the
planetary gears pos. 10. Because the drive motor changes direction of rotation,
the strap feed also feeds in tension direction. When the max. strap tension has
been reached the feed wheel will stop. Hereby the planetary gear shaft (hollow
shaft) pos. 1 will be driven via the planetary gears pos. 10. The camshaft will be
driven by the gear pos. 9 via the intermediate shaft and the bevel gears.

bars) and tighten the lock nut.
Turn the adjustment screw into the cam lever until a gap of 1 mm remains between the cam
lever and the grooved collar. In case the gripping force is insufficient for welding joint, clamping
tip of strap or clamping strap end, re-adjustments as described in sections 7.1 till 7.3 should be
made.
Whenever re-adjustments have been made, it is necessary to maintain a remaining gap of 0.5
mm between the cam lever and the grooved collar after the proper pressure has been set, so
that the pressure still can be increased.
In order to accomplish this, the screw length "L" shown in the table may have to be increased.

Because of the high resistance from the tension cam it is not possible
to turn the camshaft by hand.
If it necessary to turn the camshaft by hand, please disconnected first
the strap guide chain.
Remove the release pin (see drawing 0464631 Pos. 58, page 33) and
swing strap guide wedge inclusive chain (see drawing 0464631 Pos.
10, page 33) backwards.
Also please swing out the stop device by pull off the catch pin (see
drawing 0464643 Pos. 14 + 15, page 60)
Note: If the clamping force for the strap tip is set too low, the strap slips in
the clamping zone.
(Now only one strap will be clamped by the loop grip against the shutter).
- Tighten the adjustment screw always by 1 raster until the gripper is clamping the strap.
The strap is being clamped when increased resistance is noticeable.
- Rotate camshaft into position 9 and remove cut off strap from head. Pressure marks from
the gripper pad of the gripper must be noticeable on the strap end.
- Rotate camshaft into home position 0.
During our training period of your operator and maintenance personnel, we point their attention
to results which may occur to the machine due to incorrect adjustments.

7.4 Adjustment of welding joint
The intensity of the welding joint depends on the set time in the program sequence.
To receive best results of joint strength, the welding time and cool off time will be set according
to the strap quality at the acceptance run of the head.
If strap quality changed, welding time and probably the cool off time must be changed by
qualified personnel only.
After a period of time or after exchange of wear parts check welded joints of strap samples. Re-
setting of welding time might be necessary.
Additional time values stored in the program sequence for head function control must be
changed only by a Signode service engineer.
The spring assembly (see drwg. 464631, pos. 9, page 33) permits the variation or adjustment of
the strap tension.
To increased strap tension, turn the threaded collar (see drwg. 100.07, pos. 4, page 58) with a 6
mm round pin against the disc washers. At the same time hold the socket head cap screw, (see
drwg. 100.07, pos. 13, page 58), to prevent the guide shaft (see drwg. 100.07, pos. 1, page 58)
from turning.
The proper chain tension is set at the factory for a particular strap thickness. If adjustments are
necessary, please pay attention to the following:
a) Compression spring "Pre-tension reached" ("Changing into slow tension") according to fig.
100.07, page 58. Adjustment of spring, stroke with strap being inserted must be about 5 mm
- 6 mm.
b) Basic position. - Additional compression spring for pre-tension of chain must be adjusted
without strap so that between spring and limit stop of strap guide a clearance of 1 mm
exists, see fig. 100.15, page 60.
If slip markings on strap occur (wear of feed wheel ring) the compression spring must be re-
adjusted to more tension until slipping marks disappear. Set chain pressure as high as
necessary but, so that the strap will not be deformed. After exchange of a feed wheel ring,
the basic setting must be obtained as described above, see fig. 100.15, page 60.
All proximity switches are set by the manufacturer and marked with a colored seal. They need
no adjustment. If re-adjustments are necessary, they should be done by qualified personnel
only.
