2.5.2 Electrical/electronic installations
DANGER
Danger of electric shock!
Contact with live leads or components poses a risk of serious in-
jury or even death!
► Work on electrical/electronic components or assemblies may
only be carried out by qualified electricians in accordance with
the electrical engineering regulations.
► Before working on electrical equipment, isolate this equip-
ment and secure to prevent restarting!
► Cover neighboring live parts!
► Inspect the machine at regular intervals. Remedy any faults or
malfunctions discovered immediately. Switch off the machine until the faults have been remedied.
► Faults discovered on electrical machines/assemblies/equip-
ment must be remedied immediately. If these faults pose an acute danger, the machine, assembly or equipment must not be used until the faults have been remedied.
► Machine parts on which inspection, maintenance and repair
work is to be carried must - if prescribed - be disconnected from the power supply. First check the disconnected parts that they are really no longer live, then ground and short-circuit the parts and isolate any neighboring live parts!
► If work on live parts is necessary, have a second person
standing by who can turn off the master switch with voltage trip in the event of an emergency.
► Inform the operating personnel before starting the work.
Before starting any work on electrical installations, turn off the master switch and se- cure it with a padlock to prevent it from being turned on again. In addition, hang a
warning sign on the master switch for the duration of the work.
Close off the working area during the work and put up a warning sign. Use only insu-
lated tools for the work!
When working on high-voltage assemblies, connect the power supply lead to earth af-
ter switching off the power and short-circuit the components, e.g. capacitors, using a
grounding rod!
Fuses must not be repaired or bridged. Use only specified fuses with the prescribed
amperage!

3.2 Description of functions (general)
The packaging film (film tube) is transported from the film rack (8) until the film tube is
level with the underside of the suction jaws (2). The film is picked up and fixed by
means of the suction fan. Then the film reel (10) swings out and receives the full length
of the film hood. The film is then welded with the welding beam (7) and cut off above
the seam. The suction jaws moves outwards, thereby opening the film tube. After the film hood is opened, it is transferred to the "hood fitter", consisting of tensioner
frame (4) and lifting carriage (3). The film hood is thereby held on the four clamping
corners (6) and subsequently stretched outwards. After stretching to the necessary fit-
ting dimension, the tensioner frame moves downwards and the film hood is drawn
over the load.

3.4.3 Film feeder head (5)
CAUTION
Danger of being pulled in or trapped!
There is a danger of body parts being pulled in between the rub-
ber roller (A) and the counter-roller (B)!
► Do not reach between the rubber roller and the counter roller!
► Wear work clothing with low tensile strength (see chapter 9.1)!
► Wear appropriate protective gloves!
Two film drives are located in the film feeding head (Fig. 3.21). The motors each drive
one rubber roll (A) that is pressed against two counter rollers (B). The drives have
been designed so that they can pull the film tube from the film storage. The counter
rollers (B) arranged in pairs can be shifted by the pneumatic cylinders for format con--
version.
The drive conveys the film through the opened sealing bars as far as the suction jaws (C).
The film storage in the film feeding head is a linearly traversable construction and can
take up the entire hood length. In addition to the sealing bar for sealing the film, the
film feeding head also has a film knife to separate the completed hood from the film
tube.

3.4.6 Hood Wrapper (4)
The tension frame (4) is integrated into the base frame and can be moved vertically
up and down by means of a lift motor (9). Arranged in the tension frame are four ad-
justable clamping corners with catch wheels that enter the opened film tube and pull
it into a rectangular form and ultimately stretch the film. After stretching the film, the tension frame is moved down over the pallet with the prod-
uct. Then the tension corners move together again so that the film surrounding the
product relaxes again. The tension frame is moved down again, the tension corners
move apart again, and the tension frame is moved upwards to its starting position
ready for the next working cycle.
The tension frame has counterweights in order to reduce the dynamic masses. These move up and down in the lift pole opposite the direction of movement of the tension frame!
For setup, maintenance or repair work and for when the emergency stop function is triggered the tension frame has automatic locking catches (2) that snap into the pro-
vided grooved strips.
In addition, bores and corresponding locking pins are provided on the lift pole to se-
cure the counterweights if maintenance needs to be carried out on the toothed belt,
for example.
The tension frame has a contour monitoring function (3) to prevent the tension frame
colliding with non-centered pallets. The path beneath the tension corners of the ten-
sion frame is monitored by means of light barriers and reflectors.

3.4.7 Centering device
The load is centered on the conveyor via an integrated pneumatic centering device. A
sonic sensor measures the height of the load in anticipation of preparing the stretch
hood. After a signal is given that the load is centered, it is transported via conveyor to
the stretch hooding station.
3.4.8 Control console
The control console is installed separately alongside the machine and contains all the operating and control elements for the operation of the machine in manual, setup and
automatic mode and the touch screen for the parameter displays and settings.

3.5 Safety Mechanisms
WARNING
Danger if the safety mechanisms are not used correct-
ly!
The packaging machine can become a source of danger if the safety mechanisms are not used correctly or are by-passed!
► Operate the packaging machine only when all the safety
mechanisms are installed and functioning correctly!
► The procedures described in the operating manual must be
observed!
3.5.1 Emergency STOP circuit
ATTENTION
Material damage caused by misuse of the emergency
stop circuit!
Frequent emergency stops result in high mechanical loads and
hence to increased wear of the machine.
► Operate the emergency STOP button only in the event of an
impending danger.
► Before entering the safety fence area, stop the machine via
the "Start/Stop automatic" (see chapter 8.1.8), as opening the safety fence gates results in an immediate stoppage of the machine as for an emergency stop.
The emergency stop switch is located on the machine control console. Press the
emergency stop switch immediately in the event of danger situations. This stops all
machine movements. In some cases movements performed by pneumatic cylinders
stop only when the piston has reached the end of its stroke.

ATTENTION
Risk of damage to the lift motor!
As the lift motor has to move the whole weight of the tensioner frame (the counterweights are resting on the lower pins), the lift
motor can be damaged if it is operated incorrectly!
► Move the motor only by brief actuation of the preselector but-
ton!
3.5.3 Safety fence
The machine is hermetically surrounded by a safety fence. The packaging area of the
machine can only be entered via gates in the fence switch monitored limit switches.
ATTENTION
Machine damage caused by frequent emergency stops!
During operation of the machine, opening the safety fence gates
trips the emergency stop function and stops the machine. Fre-
quent emergency stops result in high mechanical loads and
hence to increased wear of the machine.
► Before entering the safety fence area, stop the machine via
the "Start/Stop automatic" (see chapter 8.1.8), as opening the safety fence gates results in an immediate stoppage of the machine as for an emergency stop.
NOTE

WARNING
Risk of falling due to eccentric center of gravity!
The center of gravity of loads may not always be in the middle. If
the lifting equipment is not correctly attached, the load may tip
over and cause serious or even fatal injuries! There is also a risk
of tipping on uneven floors or due to objects lying around.
► Observe the markings on the loads!
► Attach the crane hook so that it is above the center of gravity!
► Carry out a careful test lift and observe whether the load tips!
If necessary, adjust the attachment point of the hook!
► Remove all objects lying around before transport.
ATTENTION
Damaged caused by improper transport!
Considerable material damage can be caused by improper trans-
port!
► Do not pull the load at an angle, twist or scrape along the floor.
► Remove all objects lying on the floor before transport.
► When unloading the packages on delivery and during in-
house transport, handle the packages carefully and observe the symbols and instructions on the packaging!
► Remove the packaging only shortly before installation!
Observe the following additional points during transport:
After transport, raise the crane hook and do not leave it hanging at head height. When
working with multiple personnel, define the meaning of signals in advance and
raise the load only after receiving the agreed signal.

5.2 Transport inspection
Inspect the delivery immediately on receipt for completeness and transport damage.
NOTE
If the following instructions are not followed in the event of dam-
age, the insurance cover may be lost.
In the case of obvious and visible transport damage, proceed as follows:
• If damage is even suspected, sign for receipt only conditionally (e.g. on the freight
document), indicating the suspected damage.
• In the case of goods transported in containers, ensure that container and locks or
seals are examined by responsible persons from the shipping or transport compa-
ny. If containers are damaged or locks and seals are broken, are missing or differ
from those indicated on the freight documents, sign for receipt only conditionally,
indicating the suspected damage, and keep the damaged or wrong locks and
seals.
• Ensure claims for damages against third parties. Request the shipping company, other freight carrier, transport companies, warehousing companies, customs and
port authorities
• to make a joint examination of the damage,
• to certify the damage,
• to assign liability in writing and describe the damage in detail, in the case of ob-
vious visible damage before acceptance of the delivery, in the case of damage
not visible from the outside immediately on discovery.

tarpaulins or tear-resistant plastic film. Protect the tarpaulins/plastic film against me-
chanical damage.
Adequate ventilation must be ensured under the tarpauliln/film. Inspect the tarpaulins and corrosion protection at regular intervals.
Remedy any damage discovered immediately. Remove any corrosion that may have
occurred and renew the corrosion inhibitor.
External corrosion protection
• Clean or wash down bare unpainted machine parts.
• Allow cleaned parts to dry and then coat with a drying corrosion inhibitor.
ATTENTION
The machine paint must not be dissolved by the clean- ing or washing agent!
During corrosion protection of the machine, the paint may be at-
tacked!
► Use only suitable washing agents!
► Observe the manufacturers instruction for use, safety and
disposal regulations!

8.1.11 Switching off the machine
Always move the MSK packaging system to normal position before shutting down the
system. As an exception to this rule, the stretch frame must be moved to its lowest position in the following cases:
• If maintance work is to be carried out on the strech frame
• When the MSK TENSIONTECK is being prepared for possible transportation.
ATTENTION
Components inside the control cabinet will still be on even after
the MSK packaging system has been switched off.
In addition certain frequency converters take a further 60 seconds until the voltage has
dropped below 65V. Shut off the compressed air supply and open the quick-relase
valve on the pneumatic conditioning unit (compressed air will escape from the ma-
chine).
ATTENTION
Some pneumatic equipments are still pressurized even after the
compressed-air supply and the bleeding function of the pneumat-
ic system have been blocked.
ATTENTION
Before entering the danger zone, ensure that the padlock on the
master switch cannot be removed by other persons, e.g. with a spare key.

9.5 Maintenance of the MSK Tensiontech
Fig. 9.1 Maintenance schedule/machine overview
Insert the safety pins (see arrows) during all maintenance work requiring the replace-
ment or disconnection of the lift belts or clamping element on the motor shaft!
Safety pins provide the tensioner frame with additional support to prevent it from drop-
ping during maintenance work and are located on both sides of the baseframe. Move
the tensioner frame to its uppermost position for insertion. Insert the safety pins up to the top (roll pin).
When three safety pins have been inserted on each side, lower the tensioner frame
slowly and carefully in manual mode onto the upper safety pins. As the lift motor has
to move the whole weight of the tensioner frame (the counterweights are resting on
the other pins), move the lift motor only by briefly touching the preselector button. Oth-
erwise it can be damaged due to overloading!

9.6.5 Toothed belt replacement
WARNING
An improper procedure during the replacement of the
toothed belts can cause a life threatening hazard due to a
falling hood applicator or a toothed belt bouncing up!
The replacement of the toothed belt requires sound expert
knowledge and incorporates a certain risk. The work must be
carried out under safe working conditions carefully.
► We recommend having these maintenance procedures per-
formed by MSK mechanics.
Hazard due to fall!
WARNING
For work performed at certain heights, additional safety
precautions are required.
► We recommend the use of a mobile work stage, a so-called
“Cherry Picker”, in order to reach the upper assembly points of the MSK Tensiontech.
► Use fall protection!
NOTE
Faulty threaded rods on the toothed belt clamping must only be
replaced by threaded rods of the strength category 8.8.
NOTE
The toothed belt shall be subject to visual inspection on a regular
basis!
The toothed belts installed by MSK shall be replaced no longer than every 6 years!

9.10 Maintenance of the electrical equipment
DANGER
Danger of electric shock!
Contact with live components poses a risk of serious injury or
even death!
► Before starting the maintenance work, switch off the electric
power supply and secure to prevent it from being switched on again!
► Maintenance work on the electrical installation may only be
carried out by appropriately authorised qualified personnel!
During the maintenance work, check the proximity switch priodically to make sure it is
properlly installed. Check the function of the AC unit on the control cabinet and all the
indicator lights.
Clean the light barriers and reflectors at regular intervals, depending on the degree of
soiling. Should the control LED on a light barrier blink, the reflected light flow is too
weak. If the blinking cannot be remedied by cleaning the light barrier and reflector,
check the alignment of the two components to one another and correct, if necessary.
Inspect the electrical cables for obvious signs of damage. Check that the electrical
connections are tight.
Clean electric devices from time to time to remove collected dust and dirt, as otherwise
leakage currents can occur.
Inspect fuses, signal lamps and safety elements (replace blown fuses only with fuses
of the same amperage).
Maintenance of the battery in the PLC, see separate description of the Control Logix
controller.
Furthermore, observe the maintenance instructions in the manufacturers' descriptions
in the Annex Manufacturers' documents.

9.11 The alignment and maintenance of the flap conveyor
Below you will find a description how the knee angle must be adjusted to beware
accidents.
NOTE
Please do not walk on the flaps if it is not really necessary!.
Fig. 9.19 Flap conveyor knee setup
Fig. 9.19 show you an example of flap conveyor. The flap is in conveying position. The
sketch No.1 will show you that the knee angle is in the right position. The middle angle
must be over the dead point. In that position, the pneumatic cylinder could be pressure
less and the flap will not retract. Sketch No.2 and No.3 show you, the both wrong po-
sitions. If the knee angles are in that positions and the cylinder is pressure less the flap
will be retract.
Please check the position of the knee angle continuous, once per week.

Whit these screws (Fig. 9.20 (B)) you can adjust the flaps.
1. The flap must be in level with the middle string chain.
2. The knee angle must be adjusted in that way, that the knee is over the dead point (Fig. 9.19).
A mechanical end stop makes sure that the knee angle can not bend over!
If the knee angle is in the right position, but the flap is not in level with the middle string
chain, you must readjust the ball and socket joint which is connecting the knee an-
gle with the flap!

10.5 Further faults
10.5.1 General Faults
10.5.1.1 General
General fault can be caused. It should be pointed out here that a properly maintained machine is a precondition for its proper and reliable function (see chapter 9 Mainte-
nance).
10.5.1.2 Load not centered
CAUTION
Danger due to uncentered pallets!
Not centrically positioned pallets can cause severe damage to the
MSK packing system!
► Transport the pallet in manual mode to the next removal sta-
tion!
► Remove the pallet and set down in the upstream of pallet cen-
tering!
► Switch the system back to „Automatic“.
Contour monitoring ensures that only loads centered on the pallet are packed. Should
a load not centered on the pallet enter the hooding station due to a pallet fault or faulty
pallet loading, the machine will stop and an error message is displayed.
• Switch off the machine as described in chapter 8.1.11
• Reposition the load
• Leave the safety area and close the gates in the safety fence
• Restart the machine as described in chapter 8.1.4.
• Carry out contour monitoring again in manual mode
• If the load is now centered on the pallet, the machine can be switched to automatic
mode again

10.5.1.3 Gate in safety fence open
Gates for safety fences supplied by MSK are equipped with a safety limit switch. If a
gate is opened, the machine switches off. Restarting is only possible when all the safe-
ty fence gates have been closed and the safety fence area has been enabled again
at the control console.
DANGER
Danger when standing in the safety area!
There is a serious danger if persons are allowed to remain in the safety area when the machine is switched on!
► Close the safety fence gates only when you are sure that no-
one is in the safety area inside the safety fence!
ATTENTION
Machine damage caused by frequent emergency stops!
During operation of the machine, opening the safety fence gates
trips the emergency stop function and stops the machine. Fre-
quent emergency stops result in high mechanical loads and
hence to increased wear of the machine.
► Before entering the safety fence area, stop the machine via
the "Start/ automatic" (see chapter 8.1.8), as opening the safety fence gates results in an immediate stoppage of the machine as for an emergency stop.
NOTE
Confirm closing of the safety fence gates by turning the preselec-
tor switch to the corresponding position or by pressing the push- button!

10.5.1.4 Emergency stop tripped
When the Emergency stop button is pressed, all movements of the machine are
stopped (pneumatic cylinders end their stroke on reaching the end position). For re- actions after tripping the Emergency stop circuit, see chapter 2 Safety.
10.5.1.5 Miscellaneous
If the fault cannot be exactly localized, the packaging machine must be brought to its
home position using the preselection function (see chapter 8.1.7) and automatic mode
started again. If the source of the fault cannot be identified or remedied, please contact
MSK After-sales Service.
10.5.2 Stretch film
10.5.2.1 General
DANGER
Danger due to electrostatic charges for persons with heart pacemakers!
Persons with heart pacemakers are at risk due to electrostatic charges!
► Persons with heart pacemakers must not come anywhere
near the packaging machine!
NOTE
The danger for persons with pacemakers depends on the ESD
values of the film.
(ESD = electrostatic discharge).
Ask the film manufacturer about the ESD value of your film.
Use only film with low ESD values.
In order to avoid faults in the film run, always pay attention to good film quality. The following are characteristics of good quality, i.e.:
– Low tolerance in the film opening dimension (>1” (25 mm))
– Low tolerance in the film thickness
– The film should be wound onto the reel with straight edges
– The film should not stick on the inside and in the side pleats (anti-blocking agent!)
Observe here also the general inspection and maintenance points in chapter 9.

NOTE
Use only films from the same film manufacturer that MSK provid- ed for commissioning and testing.
If films from other manufacturers or of other qualities are used,
the parameters may have to be modified.
10.5.2.2 Film tears during stretching
First check whether the film dimensions stipulated in chapter 4 Technical Data have been observed. If the film dimensions correspond to the specified values, the film qual-
ity is probably poor (visual inspection of the film for thin spots).
10.5.2.3 The film hood is not drawn optimally over the goods to be packed
A precondition for optimum fitting of the film hood over the pallet and load is the exact
alignment of all the elements of the packaging machine. This includes:
– Exact installation of the MSK packaging machine (in particular the MSK Tension- tech and the conveyor at the hood fitting station) according to the installation plan (see chapter 4 Technical Data)
– Horizontal positioning of the tensioner frame
– Correct threading of the film according to the film threading plan
– Properly centered film reel
If the MSK packaging machine is properly adjusted, check compliance with the spec- ified load and film dimensions again (see chapter 4 Technical Data). Furthermore,
check whether the pallet is properly centered at the hood fitting station. If this is not
the case, the reason for this must be determined (e.g. a defective pallet) and the pallet
properly centered.
10.5.2.4 The film is not cut off cleanly
Inspect the 10-blade knife. If the cutting side is blunt, the knife can be turned and the
film cut with the other side of the knife.
WARNING
Risk of injury from sharp knives!
The film knife is very sharp. There is a risk of serious cuts!
► Wear suitable protective gloves.
► Leave the knife covers closed!
NOTE
It is expedient to always turn the 10-blade knife in the same direc-
tion (e.g. in clockwise direction).

10.5.2.5 Film is not or not completely sealed
If the Teflon tape, the silicone rubber or the heater wire are damaged, replace these
parts. In addition, check the sealing bar pressure.
CAUTION
Danger from hot surfaces!
Touching the hot sealing bar can result in severe burns!
► Do not touch the hot sealing bar!
► Allow the sealing bar to cool down to < 140° F (60° C)!
► Wear protective gloves.
10.5.2.6 The film jams
First check whether the fold cutter is in the side fold of the film tube. The function of
the fold cutter is to open the side fold and to guide the film.
Fig. 10.1 Adjustment of the fold cutter
In addition, check the film threading against the film threading plan.
NOTE
Always pay attention to good film quality!
