The document discusses a modification made to a 3M-Matic a80f case sealer to enable it to seal very short case heights. The modification involves adding a "Restorable to Standard" Center Bed Lift Mod with quick disconnects, allowing the case sealer to easily convert between the modified and standard configurations. This solution was designed for applications involving small parts or customers using very small cases. Contact information is provided for 3M Applications Engineers to discuss potential replication of this type of modification for other use cases.
