Mechanical Slides

Wexxar is pleased to announce the introduction of ultra-smooth linear guide tracks to guide the vertical motion of the jawplates and the horizontal motion of the discharge pusher. In the older system, the vertical motion of the jawplates on the mast is guided by beveled-edge aluminum guide tracks fitted with grooved nylon rollers, and the horizontal motion of the discharge pusher is guided only the pneumatic cylinder.

The bevel track guide wheels are factory preset for optimal performance, but over time the gap between the nylon wheels and the bevel track will increase and the wheel assembly will become loose, especially if case jams are cleared in an improper manner. The nylon wheels will also oxidize, becoming harder over time, reducing their plasticity, thereby minimizing the ability of machine operators to properly adjust the pressure of the wheels against the bevel track. These issues are compounded on machines that have a high case-per-minute (CPM) rate.

In contrast, linear tracks operate using linear bearings, which never require adjustment, and which are much more easily lubricated and maintained.

The main reason for guide wheel adjustments is improper case jam removal in the case forming section. Pulling the case out from the side of the machine puts lateral pressure on the bevel track, which alters the position of the guide wheels, making the wheels rest loosely on the bevel track.

Many of our customers will also benefit from the noise attenuation associated with the new linear mechanical slides. Machines with bevel track and guide wheel systems are prone to vibration induced effects, especially in areas of the machine where case jams are most frequent.

The nylon wheels on the mast guide track are the most likely components to experience lateral damage due to improper case jam removal. By contrast, the new mechanical slides are constructed with hardened steel, making them ultra-strong and resistant to vibration. Reducing the level of vibration also increases the service life of machine components, especially pneumatic cylinders.

Customers that replace wheel-and-track systems with the mechanical slide assemblies will therefore also realize cost-benefits due to the reduced wear and tear on cylinders, which ultimately further reduces the frequency of case jams. Contact your nearest Wexxar representative or authorized agent for details. NOTE: If your machine already has case dimension ‘Dial-Adjust’ technology, please bring this fact to the attention of Wexxar at the time of purchase of the Mechanical Slides kit.

Both the mast and discharge pusher replacement procedures are provided below.
