Possible Causes & Resolutions:

• Check the blank cutting tolerances and quality (download form for cutting tolerances): If the cutting measures are out tolerance, blanks will create downstacking and double sheet errors.
• Check the burrs on the blanks (Cutting burrs B max. 0.15 x sheet thickness s): If the burrs are too big, the blanks will create downstacking and double sheet errors.

• Check the general setting of the blank magazine acc. instruction manual. The separator notches should always be aligned with the suction cups.
• Check the separating air: If the separating air pressure is too high or tool low, the bottom blanks will not being separared correctly. Try with more or less separating air.
• Check the position of the separation air nozzles: The air shall always being directed towards the most fanned-out part of the sheet stack. The distance between the separation air nozzles and the sheet stack should be a maximum of 1mm.
• The top position of the suction cup should always be adjusted with the separation air turned on to prevent it from being set too high. Otherwise the separating air between the sheets is pressed out which will lead to double sheets.

Problem:

All drives are starting correctly, but the vacuum and welding current are not active.

Possible Causes & Resolutions:

• Welding pressure has been set below the min. value of 2.0 bar => Check the welding pressure setting value on the precise air-regulator and reset if needed.
• Solenoid valve welding pressure Y10 does not work correctly  => Check the welding pressure valve Y10. Does the valve switch correctly and do the welding rollers close?
• Welding rollers are closing and welding pressure is set correct, but no welding pressure value is displayed on the HMI => Check whether the analogue sensor B77 is working correctly or not.

Problem:

Downstacker motor doesn’t move correctly to the reference position, stops or suddenly changes the direction of rotation. Display of servo controller U16 shows „IMax“ or „P03 trip“.

Possible Causes & Resolutions:

To check:

• Mechanical condition of downstacker motor: Turn it by hand and check that everything runs smoothly.
• Resolver mounting: Is firmly connected to the motor shaft?
• Resolver bearings: Remove the resolver from the motor shaft and check if it is turning smoothly.
• Resolver and motor connections: Motor and resolver are connected correctly and clamps/plugs tightened?
• Motor windings: Disconnect the motor from the inverter and check the windings with an ohm meter (U-V,U-W,V-W). All values are equal?
• Output servo controller: Measure the inverter output voltage when it should run (U-V,U-W,V-W). If 0V and display shows „IMax“ maybe servo controller defective.

Possible cause:

• The setting of the magazine is wrong
• The separating air is not correctly set, or the air pressure is too low
• Too much tin plates – especially on can heights over 200 mm:
  • in the magazine, the weight is too high!
• Tin plates have too much burrs
• Suckers are worn
• Sucker height too low
• Linmot slider is not well positioned:
  • Pusher plate must stay around 2 mm behind the tin plates
• No signal of tool sensor B6:
  • Maybe gap between can body and sensor to big?
  • Maybe wire break and no signal on plc/pacemaker. Check cable and plug!
