Abstract:
A controller in a banding packing machine, comprising:a cam shaft on which a plurality of cams are integrally attached in predetermined intervals and which is rotated upon receipt of force from a driving source; one or more cam followers which are disposed to abut on periphery surfaces of the plurality of cams; a timing plate integrally provided on the cam shaft, the timing plate having a plurality of holes formed thereon which correspond to a predetermined position such that a plurality of rotation positions of the cam shaft can be detected, wherein each of a band feeding process, a band returning process and a band bonding process in the banding packing machine corresponds to at least one of the holes; a right presser member which rotatable supports the cam follower; a left presser member which rotatable supports the cam follower; a middle presser member which rotatable supports the cam follower; a detecting means for detecting that each of the plurality of holes formed on the timing plate has reached the predetermined position; and an inching mode capable of stopping the rotation of the cam shaft when the detecting means detects every hole formed on the timing plate, and permits the manual adjustment of each of one or more presser members and the cam shaft.
