INSTRUCTION MANUAL ME-104 7
4. CYCLE OF THE MACHINE
As a safety measure (CE), the machine won’t be ready to work after turn it ON until the
START/STOP button is pressed. After this, the green light on this button will remain ON and
the machine will work while ON (until a new acting over the button will be executed or an
alarm will occur).
By pressing the START/STOP button twice, the machine will perform a step by step cycle,
which allows analyzing or introducing adjustments
When the machine is turned OFF, it loses any information about the actual cycle. Due to that,
after turn it ON you should verify that there are not half wrapped mattresses on any of the
modules
The machine can vary between different working modes that can be selected on the screen and
act in the following ways:
WITH/OUT PRESS M3: select whether or not the press on the 3
rd
module is going to work.
This press is intended to approach the borders of the mattress and increase the adjustment of the
bag
A special input (X13) is also provided for remote exchange of the press estate, and can be
wired from 24Vdc direct to the PLC. When activated, the second Xtra-advance is applied
instead of the first and the press is annulated for the mattress being in-feed.
WITH/OUT WHEELS M1: select whether or not the wheels on the 1
st
module are going to
work. The wheels are intended to catch the mattress against the conveyor for assure the
advance trough the machine.
WITH/OUT WHEELS M2: idem for second module
BEFORE/LATER ACT. WHEELS M2: select when the wheels on the second module must be
deactivated. BEFORE the welding bar means more adjusted bags and less wrinkles. AFTER
the welding bar can be necessary with very light mattresses
WITH/OUT SEAL SIDES: select whether or not the up and down sides of the mattress are
going to be sealed. Normally they must to be, but in special cases (rolling bags, foam,…) they
must to be opened
The machine controls the sealing temperature by software. The program on the machine has a
temperature simulator that compensate the accumulative heat when is used a high rates. This
value increases proportionally during welding and decreases exponentially the rest of the time.
At any time, the heating time programmed is reduced in function of the value of this
simulation, avoiding the raise of the temperature on bars
By pressing the EMERGENCY STOP or pulling the EMERGENCY WIRE the energy is
removed from the actuators, every movements of the machine are cancelled and the machine
status is moved to STOP. After release it, the energy appears again but the machine remain
