What to do if the Orion Stretch Wrapping Systems control panel has no power and the E-stop is flashing?
- A
  Anne RamosAug 15, 2025
  If the control panel has no power and the E-stop is flashing, it indicates that the E-Stop circuit is activated, safety photocells are not aligned, the wiring in the E-stop circuit is compromised or components in the E-Stop circuit have failed. You can try the E-Stop reset sequence: 1. Reset all safety features (close carriage door, latch carriage safety switch bar [RT only]). 2. Pull the E-Stop to the OUT position. 3. Press the Green Start Button. 4. Press the Cycle Reset button on the screen. If the issue persists, re-align photocells with their respective reflectors, then perform an E-Stop Reset. If the issue still persists, refer to the electrical schematic for wiring layout and wire numbers.

What causes the Orion FLEX RTD Stretch Wrapping Systems carriage to jam at the top of the mast and not move?
- M
  muellerruthAug 25, 2025
  If the carriage is jammed at the top of the mast and won't move, it could be due to: * The carriage bottom travel switch did not activate correctly, possibly sticking. Check switch by manually activating (wiggling) the roller tip. If the switch does not activate and release it's input on the PLC correctly, replace the switch. The belt will need to be removed and re-wound correctly. The carriage will need to be brought down manually. * The carriage bottom travel striker is set too low for switch to activate properly. Raise the bottom limit striker so that the carriage travel switch activates it's PLC input before the carriage physically hits the machine's framework. The belt will need to be removed and re-wound correctly. The carriage will need to be brought down manually.

How do I resolve the issue of no power feed in my Orion Stretch Wrapping Systems?
- W
  wallstracySep 1, 2025
  If there's no power feed, it could be due to: * No control power/E-Stop condition. Perform E-Stop reset sequence: Reset all safety features (close carriage door, latch carriage safety switch bar [RT only]), pull E-Stop to the OUT position, press Green Start Button, and press Cycle Reset button on screen. * Incorrect film threading. Compare film with threading diagram on top of carriage. Re-thread film carriage. * Incorrect VFD parameter settings. Review the parameter settings in the VFD.

What causes stored values to revert to zero on Orion Stretch Wrapping Systems?
- M
  Mathew PerkinsSep 7, 2025
  Stored values may revert to zero or unusable settings due to a high voltage spike or voltage brownout below 100 VAC. Remove all household extension cords, move the machine to a different power outlet, and have an electrician verify the site power supply.
