✅ Troubleshooting Steps:
Check for Obstructions:
Inspect the press bar guide rails for debris, glue build-up, or foreign objects.
Ensure no panel or loose parts are stuck under the bar.
-
Inspect Pneumatics or Motor Drive:
If the press bar is pneumatic, check for proper air pressure.
If motor-driven, check for motor load spikes or coupling misalignment.
-
Lubrication & Mechanical Inspection:
Make sure the vertical guide shafts or rails are well-lubricated.
Inspect the coupling unit for signs of wear, slippage, or physical damage.
Check Sensors and Limits:
Ensure the upper/lower limit switches or proximity sensors are not misaligned or damaged.
If the sensors are faulty, the machine may falsely detect resistance or misposition.
Reset the Alarm:
Go to the “ALARMS” screen.
Review the activation details and press RESET once the issue is resolved.
Recalibrate the press bar movement if necessary (based on the machine manual).
🛠️ Preventive Tips:
Regularly clean the press bar mechanism.
Lubricate moving parts weekly.
Perform a weekly test cycle without material to detect resistance early.
Train operators to avoid loading panels too high or off-centre, which can overload the system.
