Guide Assemblies Plastic Wear
Strips
Check the plastic Bottle Set Plates of the starwheel and the
plastic guides on the infeed and outfeed guide assemblies for
damage. If the guide assembly plastic wear strips are worn or
damaged to the point they interfere with bottle handling, replace
them.
When ordering replacements for these parts, check for the dash
number stamped on each plate. This dash number positively
identifies the starwheel and guide assembly sections (with
accompanying plastic wear strips).
Dash numbers for the guide assemblies are always matched with
the same dash numbers for the starwheel. This is done so that the
starwheels and guide assemblies are always properly matched on
a production machine. When ordering starwheels and guide
assemblies, indicate whether top or bottom plates are needed and
give the dash number.
Bottle Guide Belts and Upper and
Lower Pulley Assemblies
Check the bottle guide belts and upper and lower pulley
assemblies. The pulleys should turn freely and not wobble
excessively. The belts should have strong tension and should run
smoothly in the pulleys.
Encoder System
Check the Encoder System on both the main and reject
conveyors.Tighten all bolts and set screws as necessary.
OSW Diffuser Panels (on the light
source enclosure)
Check for scratches or other damage. Clean with a

inspection
.
OSW Lamp Box Cooling Fan
Check that the cooling fan is causing air to flow forcefully out of
the top of the enclosure.
OSW Light Source

properly. Replace regularly at 6 month intervals to ensure
consistent light level values for inspection.
