Possible C ause
Possible Solution
3. The valves are
operating, but the
glue pattern is not
stable.
3a. Incorrect distance between the
valve’s nozzle and the product.
3b. Product is misaligned w hen
entering glue station.
3c. Product bounce occurs or product
is unstable at glue station.
3d. Encoder slips or is not
representing m achine speed.
3e. Partially clogged valve or nozzle.
3f. Area between scanner and product
is obstructed.
3g. Scanner is mounted incorrectly.
3a. Ensure that the distance
between the valve’s nozzle
and the product is as small as
possible.
3b. Ensure that the product is
guided properly into the glue
station.
3c. Ensure that the product is
stable when glue is applied.
3d. Ensure that the encoder is
mounted correctly.
3e. Ensure that the glue valve is
clean.
3f. Ensure that the area between
the scanner and the product
is not obstructed.
3g. Mount scanner correctly.
4. The valves are
operating, but the
glue volum e is not
correct.
4a. C heck the pressure table(s).
4b. Size of valve nozzle incorrect
4c. Pressure transducer not operating
properly.
4d. C heck the operation of the fluid
regulators.
4e. B ypass valve duration tim e is too
long.
4f. Pum p is not operating correctly.
4g. Obstructions in glue-supply hoses.
4h. Thickened glue in glue-supply
hoses.
4a. Ensure that there is an
increase in pressure as the
speed of the parent m achine
increases.
4b. Increase the nozzle size if the
glue volume is insufficient.
Decrease the nozzle size if
there is too m uch glue being
applied to the product.
4c. Ensure that the pressure-
transducer m ode is set
correctly (setup m enu) for the
transducer being used in your
system . Ensure that the
transducers have been
connected properly.
4d. Do not overtighten the
regulator handles.
4e. Ensure that the bypass valve
activation is set for the proper
duration (setup menu).
4f. Ensure that the pum p is
operating correctly.
4g. C heck filter and clean the
glue-supply hosees.
4h. Check the glue-supply hoses.
Flush the system if
necessary.
