Operating procedure
● A product is loaded manually at the loading station. If the machine is in auto mode and there is no fault (emergency pressed) then the machine should start when start PB is pressed.
● If a product is present inside the cabin (sensor 3), then the door1 will remain closed and the stopper will pop up and it will stop the product.
● Door 1 will open only when a product is not present at the hammering station.
● Once the product reaches sensor 3, the hammering station conveyor will stop after 1 second and both doors will get closed. A lifter will lift the product and start the hammer after 2 seconds. The hammering operation will continue as per set the time from HMI.
● After completion of the hammering operation, a lifter will come down, both doors will go up and restart the hammering conveyor.
● Keep unloading station conveyor in running mode. Sensor 4 will keep counting the production.
