Gun pressures that can impact performance:
Gun pressures affect the performance of electrodes and the electrode management systems.
General rules for specific electrode caps are recommended below. The recommended
maximum limit is allowable up to 15 degrees. Above 15 degrees the allowable forces decrease
considerable.

Issue
Source of error
Measure
1 No milling of the
electrodes or no
removal of the
electrodes,
no
signal of the
rotation display,
no running noise
of the device
No power supply (depending
on device type 230-575 V AC /
50-60 Hz) available.
Check current supply on the device
input and check terminal box if there is
current flow.
No power supply to the drive,
control signal to the motor
from the PLC is not triggered.
Check programming of the PLC or the
signal output.
No power supply to the drive,
because the control signal is
interrupted.
Check the signal line to the device.
Please read all safety instructions before working on any device
Keep records of the damage (type, time, location) to simplify the root cause
identification.
Investigate the root cause as the symptom may be the actual cause of the
problem. (e.g., increased tool wear due to adhesives).
