Introduction
This manual contains safety, operating, and maintenance instructions for the Eagle 100 semi-
automatic power strapping machine. This model is designed to strap packages with plastic strap 1/4-
5/8in (6-15mm) wide. The strap ends are joined by means of a hot knife welding process.

2. Components
Strap Dispenser
The strap dispenser supplies strapping material to the strapping head. It is located inside the cabinet
on the lower left-hand side. A friction brake is provided to limit over-run of strap.
1. Grip – The grip holds the lead end of the strap beneath the anvil while the remainder of the
strap is being tensioned around the package.
2. Strap Feed & Tension – Both feed and tension are achieved by two sets of gear rollers powered
by an electric motor by means of a drive belt and slip clutch system.
a. An operator controlled adjustable timer controls the duration of strap feed. When the
set time for feeding is up, the timer stops feeding strap. If additional feed is required
beyond that determined by the timer setting, jog feed will be facilitated by pushing the
“Jog” feed button on the operator control panel.
3. Welding & Cut-Off – Welding of the strap ends and cutting of the strap supply are facilitated in
this process.
4. Package Release – After a short weld-cool period (necessary to avoid welded ends from
separating), the package is released.
Functions 1, 3, and 4 are driven by a cam shaft coupled to the drive system by means of an
electromagnetic clutch which turns on full revolution per cycle.
Hot Knife
The “Hot Knife” is centrally located at the front of the strapping head. Movement of the knife is
controlled by a cam.
Electrical System
An all new electrical system using solid state technology supplies continual power to the components
within the machine. Using simple to insert circuit boards, the Eagle 100 provides for safe and relatively
maintenance-free operation.
Operator Controls
The electrical control panel consists of the following control switches/buttons; Main Power, Feed
Length Timer, Reset Switch, Feed Length Switch

Installation
Installation of the Eagle 100 requires placing the tension spring (part number 2201210020) into the
machine and securing it in place using the included caster, spring retainer, and top cover locks.
The screw on the top cap of the speed reducer can be removed for ventilation.
Once strap of the proper size is loaded and the power is connected, operation may begin.

4. Operation
4.1 Operator Controls
The control panel is located on the left-hand side of the front panel of the machine.
1. Power Switch
a. Press the power switch to turn on power to the electrical circuits and the electric motor.
The button will illuminate to show that power has been turned on.
2. Manual Feedback / Reset Switch
a. When lit green, strap can be fed back into the machine. When lit yellow, the button can
be pressed to reset the machine.
3. Manual Feed
a. When in “Reset” mode (green light is illuminated), the Manual Feed button, pressing the
button will cause strap to be manually fed.
4. Length Adjustment Knob
4.2 Cooling Time Adjustment
The cooling time adjustment on your machine allows the user to adjust the cooling time to meet their
strapping requirement. By turning the knob clockwise, the cooling time can be increased.
4.3 Motor Stop Time Dip-Switch Adjustment
The motor stop time adjustment on the machine allows the
user to adjust the motor stop time.
Note: Always power down the machine before adjusting
any dip-switches!

4. Operation
4.4 Loading Strap
1. Pull strap out from the strap reel and check whether the strap head is down. If not, then the
strap reel needs to be turned such that the strap feeds out from the bottom of pulley “A” and
from the top of pulley “B”.
2. Thread the strap through wheel “C” and thread it up to strap slot “D”.
3. Thread the strap along the guide rail to the opening between the rollers.
4. Press the “Feed” button on the control panel for mechanical output of the strapping material.

4. Operation
4.5 Lubrication
1. Lubricate the left knife, middle knife, and right knife of the slide plate once per month
2. The area where the shaft, core, and bearing should be lubricated once every three months.
3. Engine oil should be applied to the gearbox of the decelerator once every two years.
4. While lubricating, don’t use excessive amounts of oil as this may cause micro switch failure.
Avoid soaking micro switches with oil.
5. The following parts/components should not be oiled;
a. Strap feed and return roller
b. Electromagnet
c. Electromagnetic brake
4.6 Temperature Adjustment
In the control cabinet, above the circuit board, open the cover plate of the control panel to access the
temperature controls. The temperature is controlled via a potentiometer. When turned clockwise, the
temperature will be increased. By keeping the adjustment between the values of 4 and 5, the strap
adhesion should remain sufficient.
