-
Open all the clip fasteners (so that they are horizontal).
-
Slide the upper edge of the side plate into a beam of the upper frame.
-
Place the oblique underside of the side plate on the lower frame.
-
Press the side plate’s contact edge against the lower frame.
-
Lock the side plate in place by turning the clip fasteners a quarter turn to the right.
NB: When the clips are opened the plate falls out of the machine. Each plate has a unique
position on the machine. Make sure that the plates are (re)placed correctly.
2.4.4 Emergency switch
The emergency switch is meant to be used in situations
where dangers ensuing from the process or errors in the
process itself occur, requiring the machine to be stopped
immediately. In order to stop the machine for shorter or
longer periods the relevant switch-off procedures must be
followed. The emergency switch is mounted on the front
of the control panel and can be recognized by its red
color and yellow edge (see Figure 2.8).
When the emergency switch is pressed, the machine
stops its cycle immediately, pressure drops in the
equipment. Note: the cylinders of the lifting systems and
the film punch keep their position when the emergency
switch is activated! The technical department should be
called in to solve any technical problems. To re-start the
machine the emergency switch has to be re-set and the start-up procedure followed (see
paragraph 5.2).
2.4.5 Pressure switches
The machine’s electrical and pneumatic systems are fitted with a number of sensors that
continuously monitor whether the pressures and tensions chosen are sufficient to have the
machine function appropriately. When the air or water pressure is too low an error is reported
in the status line on the touch screen. The machine switches off and the equipment opens.
Once the error has been corrected the machine will once again function normally. Follow the
start-up procedure to re-start the machine.
