Safety

Read Carefully Before Operating

Any Wulftec Machinery

Wulftec stretch wrap machinery should be handled with the same caution and care as with any
other industrial equipment. Many automatic functions may be potentially hazardous. For this
reason, except for the authorized operator(s) and maintenance crew, other personnel should keep
clear at all times. It is especially important to be aware that mechanical or electrical components
may suddenly become active when the electrical panel is turned on.

Unstable loads being wrapped at high speeds are liable to fly apart and cause machine damage or
personal injury. For this reason, it is suggested that whenever attempting to wrap a "new" load
configuration, all personnel should be well clear of the wrapping area. The load should not be
wrapped at a higher speed than the machine was designed to handle.

Always assume the machine is in an active mode. Disconnect control power prior to servicing,
adjusting or performing routine maintenance procedures.

WARNING!

Unless specifically stated, preceding all instructions in this manual, it must be well
understood that all inspection, maintenance, and repair should be performed only
when the electrical power is disconnected from the machine.

Please use extreme caution if it should become necessary to inspect, diagnose, or adjust the machine
while it is in operation. Only qualified individuals thoroughly familiar with the particular machine
should perform regular maintenance or inspections.

WARNING! Disconnect machine power supply before loading film.

NOTE: This mention (*) indicates that the item is in option on the system.

Inspection and Installation
Upon Arrival, visually inspect machine for damage caused in transport. If damage to the machine
has occurred, it must be reported to the freight carrier immediately and Wulftec notified. As stated
in warranty on page 5, Wulftec is not responsible for damage caused in transit. If no damage is
apparent, carefully remove all wrapping material, strapping, blocks, etc.

NOTE: Wulftec WRT Wrap Machines series are to be lifted for placement only by
the lifting tubes with an overhead crane, pulley blocks or forklift of at least twenty-
five (25) hundred pounds lifting capacity

shown to remove skid, then set machine down on floor.
3. Insert forks as far as possible into lifting tubes. (See forklift requirement above).
4. Lift machine while moving forward until machine is in vertical position.
5. Lift machine above floor and remove bottom brackets.
6. Move machine to desired location and anchor to floor.
7. Unwrap carriage and install safety bumper and photoeye bracket.
8. Remove shipping bracket.

NOTE: Because of machine configuration, in various circumstances, some of the

elements of the machine may need to be disconnected. Please follow
instructions/indications on elements and/or relevant diagrams to reconnect.

NOTE: Wulftec recommends using 10 heavy-duty expansion shields of ¾”

diameter thread size with a minimum length of 4” as a minimum anchor in
concrete. The clamp needs to be anchored with 2 anchor nuts of ½” diameter.

Note: The type of anchors for the Control Panel and Clamp (if applicable) is to the customer’s
discretion.

This machine needs to be connected to a dedicated line. A dedicated line is a line that is powered
from one breaker or fuse, and that has no other device connected to it. Furthermore, the line shall
be such that the voltage at the outlet will not drop more than 5% under full load. Use of extension
cords is not recommended.

To measure the voltage drop, measure the voltage at the outlet with nothing connected to it this is
VA, then measure the lowest voltage during machine operation. Please read during the complete
cycle and note the lowest value, this is VB.

Take the difference between VA and VB and divide it by VA. This will give you the voltage drop
percentage. Drop= (VA-VB)/VA. This drop should remain under 5% for proper machine operation,
and for compliance with the electrical code.

As an example, an outlet connected to a 15A breaker, wired with #14AWG wire, should not be
further than 70' from the breaker, to meet the 5% voltage drop.

NOTE: Because of machine configuration, in various circumstances, some of the

elements of the machine may need to be disconnected. Please follow
instructions/indications on elements and/or relevant diagrams to reconnect.

Inspection and installation (cont’d)

Installation of Fence Handle

See the following drawings in order to facilitate the installation of the handle on the safety fencing.
Refer to assembly drawing 6MFEN00496.
1: Clamp key switch plate in place with edge, flush with post. Transfer holes approximately center of
slot for adjustment. Drill 9/32” hole through post. Install key switch with carriage bolts.

0MINS00006, rev. 1

Align slide bolt with key switch. Shims must pinch door panel angle iron. Tighten nuts.

Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 10 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014

Installation of Light Curtains
The light curtains must be installed at the entrance of the fencing, away from the wrap zone and be
positioned as close to the fencing as possible (refer to overview drawing). Make sure the posts are
leveled (both sides, vertically) before anchoring. Maximum distance is 14’, but the closer from each
other they are the easier it will be to adjust them.

1. Anchor the posts.

2. Make sure both light curtains are at the same level/height.
3. Connect the light curtain, if not connected already.
4. Final alignment is performed by mechanically adjusting the light curtains components, using the
top light beams as guide.
5. The alignment mode is automatically activated when the light curtain is switched on if the light
beams are not yet aligned or the light path is interrupted.

Top light beams (A)

• Red light beam – light curtain is misaligned or an obstacle is blocking
the path
• Green light beam – system clear
• Yellow light beam – muting in action, will never occur with this setup
Bottom light beams (B)
• Red light beam – light curtain is misaligned or an obstacle is blocking
the path
• Orange light beam – cleaning or alignment required
• Yellow light beam – reset required
• Green light beam – system clear

6. The light curtains will reset themselves each time the light is broken but a rearm must be
done on the lanyard or the control panel to enable the wrapper to begin a cycle.

Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 11 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014

Film Loading and Threading

The film roll should be loaded so that the tacky surface will face inward on the pallet load.

1. *Make sure the machine is in stop mode before opening the fencing door. Do not press on E-stop.
2. *Open safety fencing door (if applicable).
3. Push the lock on the carriage gate latch to unlock carriage door.
4. Remove empty film roll.
5. Ensure that the inner core of the new film roll is undamaged. If the lower (bottom) of the inner
core is damaged or somewhat unwound, trim or shave it with a sharp knife.
6. Lift the film roll and make it slide along the film support roll. Then move the bottom of the film
roll over the bottom cone film roll holder to ensure that the roll is securely in place.
7. Pull the film from the roll until a good film web is reached, cut the film and discard the damaged
portion.
8. Pull out the film manually; ensure enough length to reach the clamp when it’s closed.
9. Place film loosely between door and pre-stretch rollers, then close the door and ensure that the
carriage locks are correctly locked (this is a 2-position lock; make sure to reach the 2nd position
when closing the door).
10. Pull out the film manually in order to verify proper loading and operation of the film carriage.
11. Cut off the excess film and place the film on the clamp, then close the clamp with the clamp jog
push button (located on the wipe plate near the e-stop).
12. Close the door, press reset to rearm the door circuit then acknowledge the alarm and restart the
machine.
13. If film breaks during a wrap cycle, repeat steps 7 to 12 or attach film to the product.

Film loading and threading (cont’d)

WARNING! Before threading the film, press on the dancer bar once door is
opened to make sure the pre-stretch rollers are not turning. If they are, contact a
Wulftec Customer Service representative immediately. Do not touch the carriage.
Inadvertent movement of the dancer bar will cause the rollers to turn abruptly,
creating the possibility of serious injury. The operator must respect the film
loading and threading instructions AT ALL TIMES!

NOTE: If the film web breaks during the cycle, reattach the film, or if necessary,
rethread the film following the instructions. It is not necessary to reset the
machine. If E-stop is activated, the pre-stretch and the clamp will not work. If the
E-Stop is pressed, pull it.

The machines equipped with a standard carriage are programmed to stop when a
lack of film occurs. In a wrap cycle during which the rotation speed is higher
than 10Hz and the pre-stretch motor stops working for more than three (3)
seconds, the machine will fall into a stop state. The cause is either a stop a lack
of film or a film break. Follow the film threading procedure (previous pages) to
rethread the film to start/restart a cycle.

The machines are equipped with a proximity

sensor used to determine if the carriage door is
closed properly. This sensor can be seen
through the hole in the carriage cover. When
the light is lit, it indicates that the carriage door
is closed properly. If the door is open, the pre-
stretch motor will stop working or if the
machine is running a wrapping cycle, it will stop by itself rapidly. If
the light is not lit, make sure the door is properly closed. The
machine is ready for a start cycle.

Wrapper Controls
Pictogram Controls Functions

Power Illuminates to indicate power Off/On.

Power on/off Turns power OFF/ON to the machine.

O I
Start/stop Starts or stops the wrap cycle (also continues the wrap
cycle after the top cover pauses or after stopping "in
cycle" by using the emergency stop) and brings the
carriage down in spiral up mode.

Emergency stop Temporarily stops the sequence by cutting all power to

the drives. Wrapping sequence may be re-started after
pressing E-stop. (To re-start the wrap cycle, simply
release the E-stop and press the START/STOP button.)

Autoheight off/on Allows "autoheight sensing" for pallet load height

variations. (There are limit switches on the carriage
with adjustable stops on tower as safety override).

Top cover off/on Offers the ability to "Pause" the cycle when the film
carriage reaches the top of the load in order for the
operator to place a top sheet on the load. Once top
sheet is in place, the operator presses "Start/Stop"
button and the cycle resumes, wrapping the top sheet
with the specified wraps. The machine then completes
the rest of its wrap cycle.

Spiral up up/down Controls the way pallet load is wrapped. In spiral up

mode, specified bottom wraps are completed. Carriage
then travels up to do specified top wraps and stops.
The operator cuts the film and presses "Start/Stop"
button, which automatically brings the carriage down
to home position for the start of the next cycle. In the
spiral up/down cycle, the carriage spirals up
immediately in order to wrap the top of the load first,
with the specified top wraps. Then the carriage travels
down to wrap the bottom with the correct number of
bottom wraps. This cycle provides stability to the
pallet where loads are more sensitive to centrifugal
reaction and instability, depending on stacking
methods.

Wrapper Controls (Cont’d)

Pictogram Controls Functions

Carriage speed up Controls speed of carriage in up direction, which has

effect on cycle time and film overlap. It should be
adjusted with great care when trying to optimize speed
while maintaining quality wrap on product. Min. on
potentiometer is lowest speed attained.

Carriage speed down Controls speed of film carriage in the downward

direction, which has an effect on cycle time and film
overlap. It should be adjusted with great care when
trying to optimize speed while maintaining quality wrap
on product. Min. on potentiometer is lowest speed
attained.
Top wraps Determines the number of wrap layers at the top of the
load, adjustable from 0 to 9.

Bottom wraps Determines the number of wrap layers at the bottom of

the load, adjustable from 0 to 9.

Rotation speed Allows the rotation to be set at the speed best suited to
the load, variable from min. (being the lowest speed
attainable without stopping) to 12 RPM.

Reinforce wrap Reinforce wrap function allows the operator to reinforce

any section of the load by pausing the carriage
movement while the rotary arm continues. The
number of turns in reinforce wrap is determined by the
amount of time the switch is activated. This function
allows the operator to set a number of reinforce wraps
in a minimal amount of time.

Manual rotation Manual rotation moves the rotary arm to desired

position.

Film tension Controls the tension between film carriage and pallet
load (i.e. higher % tension = tighter wrap).

Carriage With the machine cycle stopped, allows carriage to be

Down/up moved up or down.

Setting Wrap Parameters
The operator can select or tune a number of variable wrapping parameters in order to achieve the
desired wrap configuration. These controls also affect the cycle time.

Film Carriage / Rotation Speed

The film carriage speed control varies the rate at which the carriage travels up and down. This, in
conjunction with the rotation speed, determines the amount of film overlap. The slower the carriage
speed, given the fact that the rotation speed remains unchanged, the greater the overlap. The
rotation speed should be set to optimum speed for a given load stability to achieve optimum cycle
times.

Upper/Lower Limit Settings

The upper limit stop bracket sets the upper limit of the wrap. If this bracket is set lower than the top
of the load, it will override the photoeye (standard on most machines). The lower limit stop bracket
located on the arm sets the lower limit of the wrap.

Top Wraps
The number of top wraps applied to the top of the load has to be set on the touch screen. It can be
set to apply zero (0) to nine (9) wraps to the top of the load.

Bottom Wraps
The number of bottom wraps applied to the bottom of the load has to be set on the touch screen. It
can be set to apply zero (0) to nine (9) wraps to the bottom of the load.

Overwrap

The film overwrap is the extent to which the film carriage wraps above the load. Under stretch, the
film tends to fold itself over the top, providing a greater degree of retention. The overwrap can be set
by adjusting the timer on the touch screen. The upper limit stop may also be used to set the
overwrap (if this limit switch is activated before the photoeye, it will override it). Note that the
carriage speed up setting is going to change the overwrap adjustments.

Film Tension (Post Stretch)

The film tension control on the control panel inside the enclosure adjusts the tension (or pull)
between the film carriage and the load. The higher the tension control is set, the tighter the load is
wrapped.

NOTE: For proper performance of the film carriage, the dancer bar should float
between its limits. Avoid setting the tension so high that the dancer roller becomes
pinned against the secondary roller. If additional tension is desired, simply turn the
adjustment knob to apply more pressure upon the dancer bar.

The red LED indicates “signal strength.” This indicator is solid when the signal is good; it flashes
when the signal is marginal. This indicator is especially helpful for use in alignment or to determine
whether dirt and dust build-up will interfere in operation. A flashing signal strength indicator will
trigger the alarm output.

Light/Dark Switching
Light and dark switching can be toggled using the switch below and between the red signal strength
and green power LEDs. Simply move the switch toward “light” for light switching or “dark” for dark
switching.

Sensitivity Adjustment
Using a small screwdriver, turn the sensitivity adjustment, located to the right of the green power
LED. To increase sensitivity, turn clockwise; to decrease sensitivity, turn counter-clockwise.

Time Delay
The on and off delays may be set simply by using the small dip switches on the top of the housing.
On these versions, a grid titled “Time Delay” appears in the center of the top panel, above and
between the red signal strength LED and the green power LED. The grid provides a key to the
positions of the dip switches for various time delays. Find the delay you want (between 0 and 14
seconds) on the grid and, using the 4 numbers to its right, toggle the dip switches between 0 and 1
as needed.

WARNING! The photoeyes are factory set for average loads at maximum rotation speed
and maximum carriage speed. Your particular wrap parameters may require alternate
settings for proper height sensing.

Setting Wrap Parameters (cont’d)

Photoeye Response Delay Time

Since most pallet loads are square or rectangular, as opposed to round, there must be a delay time
setting in order to remain "ON" as the arm turns around the load and reflects the diffuse photoeye's
signal away from its own receiver. The delay is set in the PLC program and can be changed via the
touch screen.

Automatic Height Sensing

All Wulftec automatic machines are equipped with a photoeye sensor, for load height sensing. This
allows for variations in load height, while maintaining the predetermined "overwrap" setting. All
machines are equipped with manual override (limit switches).

NOTE: When using a 30” carriage with a 20” film on the machine, the
autoheight photoeye will not work on small load higher than 20” and smaller
than 33”.

NOTE: The upper limit stop controls the overwrap of the pallet when the
photoeye mounted on the carriage is not in use.

Setting the Limit Stop

Lower:
Loosen the lower limit stop.
Slide stop block into desired position.
Tighten securely.

Upper:
Loosen the upper stop limit.
Slide the stop block into desired position.
Tighten securely.

NOTE: The bottom limit switch block should be adjusted according to the
downward speed of the carriage so that it does not over travel. At each end of the
limit stop adjustment rail are over travel security stops that are fixed in position.
Under no circumstances are these to be removed, as serious machine damage
and/or personal injury may result.

2. Remove the film roll.
3. Remove the carriage cover.
4. Make sure that the dancer bar is completely retracted and at home position.
5. Using a ruler, align the right side of the cam with the edge of the analog sensor bracket. Tighten
the bolt to secure the cam in place.
6. Loosen the detector, lean it against cam. Then move back gradually until the light on the
detector stops flashing and becomes constant, and then tighten the detector in position.
7. Rearm the emergency stop circuit (Caution: the pre-stretch motor can restart).
8. For PowerFlex 4 : make sure that parameter A110 is set at 20

9. Make sure that when the dancer bar is completely retracted with its initial position, the motor
does not turn, and when the dancer bar is moved gently, the motor starts gradually. If the motor
turns in initial position (too far from the cam), or it starts too far (too close from the cam), loosen
the nuts and readjust the analog sensor slightly. If you need to readjust the analog sensor,
make sure to activate the emergency stop to prevent injuries to technicians or damage to
machine.
10. Reinstall the carriage cover.
11. Install film roll.

Setting Wrap Parameters (cont’d)

Proximity Sensor

The first sensor is located beside the rotary arm

ring gear and is used to count the rotary arm
revolutions (to match the wrap counts selected
on the panel). The reading is obtained by a flat
piece of steel glued on the ring gear. The second
sensor is used to indicate home position to cut
film and also, because the WCRT series uses
two (2) counts per rotary arm revolution, to give
the second count required.

Figure 8 Proximity Sensor

Revolution and Home Position Sensors

Wrappers from Wulftec use proximity sensor to count revolutions and to determine the arm’s home
position. These two (2) sensors can be found on the top of the ring gear and they are reading off a
piece of steel glued on the top of the ring gear.

Reed Switches Adjustment

These switches indicate the push arm’s initial and limit position. Red light at the end of the arm
should be on when it arrives in its initial position or to its limit.

Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 26 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014

Proximity Sensor Replacement

Removal

Remove the ring gear cover and unscrew the quick-disconnect on the proximity sensor. Loosen the
two (2) lock nuts on the sensor and remove it.

Replacement

Position the sensor until the gap between the sensor head and the counter block on rotary arm is
approximately 1/8 of an inch. Tighten the lower locknut finger tight. Tighten the upper locknut and
reconnect proximity sensor. When all wires and guards (if applicable) have been replaced, turn on
the power and jog the rotary arm by using the arm jog switch. Then verify if the related input blinks.

WARNING! Make sure that the power is disconnected and that a pad-lock is
installed on the main switch of the wrapper before you carry out these operations.

Motor Speed Control

Your Wulftec pallet wrap machine utilizes AC drives from Allen Bradley™, which are controlled by a
digital parameter unit. This unit is used to set the functions such as acceleration/deceleration time
and electronic thermal relay to allow variations in motor operation to best suit the specific
application and/or desired customer wrap parameters.

Maintenance
General Maintenance
The commutator should be cleaned every two years or every 6000 hours of operation.
Cut/wipe pivot points should be greased (approx. every 6000 hours of operation). See Item 4 below.

Figure 9 Film in clamp

Filter Regulator

The FR possesses a Filter, which traps the water contained in the air line. A drain plug is located at
the bottom of the filter section. (This function should be done automatically and should not have
to be touched). The second section of the FR contains a Regulator that shows how much air
pressure going is into the machine. The pressure may be regulated by the knob located at the top of
the center section of the FR. This pressure should be set at 80 psi for all Wulftec automatic
machines.

*For cold package; apply EP0 grease.

Maintenance
Carriage Lift Chain Tension Adjustments

Position the carriage to the center of the travel limits. Hold

the locknut while tightening the tension-adjusting nut on
the "upper" section. (The lower section is for aligning the v-
groove/carriage mounting plates). Do not over tighten and
assure that both chains are equal in tension. (0.015" of
play per foot) Once set, hold the adjustment nut and
tighten the locknut.

Pre-Stretch Belts Adjustment

The pre-stretch belts should be checked for proper tension every 2000 hours of operation.
Recommended tension is 1/64” deflection per inch of belt span with a force of approximately 25 lbs.
The motor drive belt is adjusted by loosening the four (4) motor mounting bolts and sliding the motor
in the mounting slots. The pre-stretch belt tension is adjusted with the tension adjustment arm. This
arm can be rotated and moved within the mounting slot to obtain correct tension.

Pre-Stretch Chain Adjustment

The pre-stretch chains should be checked to ensure the proper tension (approx. every 2000 hours of
operation). If the chains are found to have improper tension they may be adjusted. (0.015” of play
per foot of chain is recommended) The motor chain may be adjusted by loosening the four (4) bolts
from under the top plate of the carriage and moving the motor using the slots provided. The pre-
stretch chain tension may be adjusted by using the cam & sprocket. This cam has an eccentric hole
and may be turned for chain adjustment.

Photoeyes

Every 2000 hours of operation the photoeye and reflectors should be cleaned to ensure that no false
readings would be taken during operation of machinery.

Wulftec / M.J. Maillis Group Page 30 of 36 Version 1.7.1 /November 2014

Maintenance

Slider Blocks/Carriage Rails

Inspect carriage chains and slider blocks monthly or as a part of your regular maintenance program.
If necessary, grease with EP2 grease (or whatever grease your operating environment requires) using
a paintbrush.

Chain Maintenance
Inspect chains every six (6) months or as a part of your regular maintenance program. If necessary,
apply grease to chains. The chain tension should be checked on a regular basis. The proper tension
for the chain is approx. 0.015" of slack for every one (1) foot of chain.

Reducer
The reducers on your equipment are filled with Mobil Glygoyle 460 oil. Do not mix different
lubricants in the reducer. Lubricant incompatibility may result in premature failure. Do not use
Mobil Glygoyle 460 oil if your operating environment requires a different type of oil (ex. cold
temperature environment) or if you have requested a different type of oil in your system.

During the initial start-up operation, a break-in period is necessary before the reducer reaches
maximum operating efficiency. It is recommended to take an oil sample after 1,000 hours of
operation to see if metal shavings or fragments may have accumulated during break-in. If so, change
the oil. Winsmith recommends a gradual application of load during the first several hours after start-
up. The reducer may run hot during this initial break-in period. This is normal. A few drops of oil
may weep from the lip seals during the break-in stage. After a short period of operation, clean off any
excess oil around the shaft seals and recheck the oil level; adjust if necessary.

Subsequent oil changes should be made after 25,000 hours or as a part of a regular maintenance
program (this frequency is highly application dependent). Note: When changing oil, carefully inspect
used oil to be sure there are no metal shavings, fragments and other signs of excessive wear. Under
severe conditions (rapid temperature changes, moist, dirty, or corrosive environments) it may be
necessary to change the oil at intervals of 1-3 months. Periodic examination of oil samples taken
from the reducer will help establish the appropriate interval. Winsmith considers that in many
indoor environments that are relatively contaminate free and under normally loaded application
conditions, changing the lubricant may never be necessary within the desired life of the speed
reducer.

The oil change procedure for all SE Encore speed reducers is similar. The appropriate oil fill, drain,
and level plugs are identified in chart on following page. Please note that these locations are unique
for each operating position shown. After draining the old lubricant, new lubricant should be added to
the appropriate level plug shown.

Maintenance

Ring Gear

Bearing:

Lubrication of the bearing component is provided through the auto-lube system. The automatic lube
station only greases the bearings. For any other component that needs greasing, do a visual
inspection every month and add grease as needed. Operation of the auto-lube is detailed here under.

For machines without the auto-lube system, apply EP2 grease with a grease pump every month, or
as part of your regular maintenance program. Move bearing several times to ensure complete fill.
Or use appropriate grease if you have requested a different type of grease in your system (ex. FDA-
approved) or if your operating environment requires a different type of grease (ex. cold temperature
environment).

Inspect the seals to ensure they are properly inserted into their grooves and that they are intact and
preventing contaminants from entering the bearing

Teeth:

Visually inspect the teeth once a month. Remove buildup if present. With steel pinion, if teeth are
dry, apply grease with a brush all around ring gear. Use high quality open gear grease (Mobile
Unirex EP2 GCLB or equivalent). With nylon pinion, no greasing is necessary. Backlash between
gear and pinion needs to be kept at approximately .005".

Lube Station
The Lincoln greaser is controlled by a PLC output and should be greasing for 60 seconds every 2,400
revolution of the rotation. It can be adjusted on the HMI.

Inspect the grease container of the lube station once a month and refill with EP2 grease as
recommended by Wulftec unless you have requested a different type of grease in your system (ex.
FDA-approved) or if your operating environment requires a different type of grease (ex. cold
temperature environment). The lube station needs to be refilled before it is empty. To fill the
container, use the fitting located on the front side until you reach the max. line.
