Abstract

A wrapping machine for wrapping trayed items includes a wrap station and a conveying system for moving trayed items from an input station to the wrap station. The conveying system includes a conveyor for moving trayed items from the input station to a trayed item detection arrangement, and a prime mover operatively connected for moving the conveyor. A controller connected to the trayed item detection arrangement and the prime mover is configured for selectively carrying out a self-calibration operation in which: the prime mover is operated to cause movement of a portion of the conveyor from a start position to the trayed item detection arrangement; and an amount of prime mover movement required for the portion to travel from the start position to the trayed item detection arrangement is monitored and used to store a calibration value in memory of the controller.
