Abstract
HERRAMIENTA FLEJADORA DE BULTOS Y SIMILARES. SE COLOCA LA HERRAMIENTA FRENTE A LA SUPERFICIE DEL PAQUETE Y SE EMPUJA LA PALANCA ACCIONADORA QUE HACE DESVIAR EL BRAZO TENSOR HACIA FUERA, SEPARADO DE LA RUEDA DE TENSION. SE COLOCA EL FLEJE ALREDEDOR DEL PAQUETE CON LOS SEGMENTOS INSERTOS ENTRE EN YUNQUE DEL BRAZO DE TENSION Y LA RUEDA DE TENSION. CUANDO SE SUELTA LA PALANCA DICHOS SEGMENTOS QUEDAN PRESIONADOS CONTRA LA RUEDA. APRETANDO UN INTERRUPTOR SE PONE EN MARCHA EL MOTOR PARA TENSAR EL BUCLE, CON LO QUE SE PROVOCA EL ACCIONAMIENTO DEL INTERRUPTOR QUE INVIERTE LA ROTACION DEL MOTOR.
