4.2.12.1 Sensors of the stopper insertion station
AB
AA
Z
Sensor Stopper upside down in stopper turning device (Z) checks, if the stop-
pers are correctly orientated.
If a stopper is not correctly positioned, the stopper pin presses it into the stopper
turning device too far. As soon as the sensor detects a stopper, the machine stops.
The respective stopper must be removed manually.
Sensor Insertion tube overload (AA) checks, if an insertion tube has changed its
position in the holder. As soon as the sensor detects an insertion tube, the machine
stops. After the cause of the fault has been eliminated, the respective insertion tube
must be positioned correctly by hand.
Sensor Stopper inserted (AB) checks, if stoppers have been inserted in the syr-
inges. Through the stoppers that have been inserted, the stopper insertion rod is
pressed up. If no stopper has been inserted, the stopper insertion rod remains in
position and this fact is detected by the sensor.
The machine stops, if a presettable number of stoppers are missing in sequence
(consecutive fault).
Nests that have not been correctly processed can either be processed further or
can be discharged ahead of schedule.
Syringes that have not been closed must be taken out of the nest manually after
the processing has ended.
