Optional Mark reading photocell

1.1 FUNCTION OF THE FILM MARK READING PHOTOCELL

By using this optional photocell it is possible to set the distance between the "mark" on the

centre-folded film and the point at which the sealing takes place. Depending on the type of

packaging machine purchased (angular sealing (FP6000-FP6000CS-FP8000CS) or

continuous longitudinal sealing (FP500HS-FP500HSE) install the kit provided by carefully

following the procedure described below.

1.2 PHOTOCELL ASSEMBLY

1) FP6000 - FP6000CS - FP8000CS

- Position support 1 on which the photocell is assembled by means of screws 2 using the

holes made specifically for that.

2) FP500HS - FP500HSE

- Position support 1 on which the photocell is assembled as shown in the figure and then

secure it using screw 2 and handle 3.

1.3 PHOTOCELL POSITIONING

Adjust the photocell using the handles 3 shown in Figure 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 based on the position

of the mark on the film.

1.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE PHOTOCELLTo electrically connect the photocell to the packaging machine you need to unplug the

connector 28.X2.7 which is located in the area shown in the figure and using the appropriate

Y-connector which is supplied connect:

• on side 1 the mark reading photocell (28.B.9)

• on side 2 reconnect the connector 28.X2.7

CHECKING CORRECT CONNECTION OF THE PHOTOCELL

Depending on the packaging model purchased (angular sealing or continuous longitudinal

sealing) it is necessary to check that the film mark reading photocell is properly connected.

1) with models FP6000-FP6000CS-FP8000CS-FP500HSE it is necessary through the

operator panel:

• insert the 2° level PROGR password

• access the menu “DISPLAY DATA” and scroll the parameters within it until you see:

INPUT SLAVE 2 (for the model FP500HSE see “INPUT SLAVE 3”)

CONNECTOR J10

00000000

• check that the detection signal of the photocell is fully active by passing a hand in front of the

photocell to test it. At the highlighted field below, the value 1 must appear temporarily.

2) with model FP500HS it is necessary through the operator panel:

• through the "VIEW DATA" menu, access the sub-menu shown in the figure, and then check

on the module DIO16 3 (22.DIO.1) that when you pass a hand in front of the photocell the

LED P03 turns on.

1.5 ENABLING THE PHOTOCELL

To enable the mark reading photocell access the "INSERT PASSWORD / ENABLE ADJUST"

menu and insert the following password:

LT+program version

Example: If the software version of the packaging machine is 5.04 the password to enter is

LT504.

1.6 PHOTOCELL ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS

Place the mark below the photocell and press the photocell button once and check that a

flashing red light turns on. Next, move the mark out of the reach of the photocell and check

that the red light goes off.

Put the mark below the photocell again and check that the light comes on again.

If there is an error in the detection of the mark by the photocell repeat the above procedure.

ADJUSTMENT OF PHOTOCELL OPERATION BASED ON THE PRODUCT TO BE

PACKAGED

1 - Select the “OPTIONS” menu and set the parameter “FILM MARK OFFSET” to “000”.

FILM MARK OFFSET

[mm] xxx

2 - Measure the distance in millimetres between the two reference marks present on the reel

(e.g. 350 mm)

3 - Measure the length of the pack to be packaged (e.g. 270 mm)

4 - Access the “FILM REGULATION” menu and set the parameter “ FILM ADVANCE” with the

required distance between the front sealing and the product.

5 - Similarly access the “FILM REGULATION” menu and set the parameter “FILM DELAY” with

the required distance between the rear sealing and the product.

6 - Access the “PACK” menu and insert 270 mm in the “PACK LENGTH” field. (the sum of the

values set in "FILM ADVANCE", "FILM DELAY" and "PACK LENGTH" must be equal to the

distance between the two marks, as in the case of the example 350)

7 - Select the MANUAL operating mode and make sure the film is brought into the sealing

area.

8 - Enable the AUTOMATIC operating mode and activate the packaging of a pack.

9 - Through the “DISPLAY DATA” menu read the value shown in the parameter “FILM MARK

OFFSET” detected by the photocell and enter this value in the “OPTIONS” menu in the

“FILM MARK OFFSET” field where in the initial phase the value “000” was set.

10 - Package another pack to check that the film sealing takes place in the same position. Re-

activate the packaging to check that the cutting and sealing of the film takes place in the

same position, otherwise modify the previously set value (FILM MARK OFFSET

parameter).

Note - Remember that if you want to bring forward the cutting of the film it is necessary to

decrease the value set.

1.7 CENTRE-FOLDED FILM REEL WITH PRINTS

If, when packaging with the SMIPACK models of the FP6000-FP6000CS-FP8000CS-

FP500HS-FP500HSE series, you want to use a centre-folded film with print, you need to follow

the directions listed below.

1 • Choosing the film type

• Select the film type and thickness that is most suited for the product to be packaged.

• Calculate the band of the film reel as a function of the product size using the following

formulas:

Reel Band = Width W + Height H + 100 mm (per Hproduct 100 mm)

2 • Calculating the ideal bag size

Adjust the packing machine in accordance with the product dimensions in order to calculate

the the ideal bag size.

Fig. 1.7.1

W= 200 mm

H= 100 mm

200 (W) + 100 (H) + 100 = REEL BAND 400 mm

RUNNING DIRECTION

8/18/2019 DM200124_0_EN

Once you have the ideal bag size measure its length. The measurement obtained must be

used as the distance between the reading marks of the film.

3 • Print features

The printed side of the film reel and also the mark must be inside. By winding the film on the

rolls of the winder and on the squares, the print will remain on the outside.

The mark must always be on the open side of the film and must remain on the top flap so that

the photocell can detect it.

4 • Positioning mark on film

The mark must be positioned ± 50 mm with respect to the edge of the bag with the desired

dimensions. The ideal size of the mark is 5x30 mm.

PART OF THE FOLD

5 • Positioning of the print on the bag

• You must consider the margins at the sides of the bag which will reduce the usable print area.

These margins will be used for the heat shrinking process of the film. Each margin is equal

to 1/2 h product.

• The remaining area useful for printing can be completely used. You can choose the print

position (centered or decentered) as required.• To choose the print type, the settings related to the film, please contact your supplier.
