Why is my LFA Tablet Presses Power Tool machine freezing?

  Elizabeth BrownAug 16, 2025
  Your LFA Tablet Presses Power Tool machine might be freezing due to several reasons. The grease points might be dry, in which case you should regularly oil and grease all the grease nipple points. It could also be due to excess pressure on the Upper Drift Pin Assembly, so rotate it counterclockwise. A loose V Belt can also cause this, so adjust the Motor Support Arm's nuts to tighten the V Belt. Finally, ensure the starting position is adjusted so that the Upper Punch is at the highest point.
