Trouble shooting (continued)
Air blast is wide open
not allowing enough
air to feed fastener.
Check to ensure the air blast is not full open not allowing
enough air to actuate the air cylinder on the singulation
module.
Singulation module air
cylinder is jammed or
not working.
Check the operation of the air cylinder to ensure there is no
binding.
Fastener is jammed in
feed hose.
Check to ensure the feed hose is not kinked and there are
no fasteners jammed in hose.
Air Timer Is turned
down to zero.
Check the Air timer and the air blast settings to ensure they
are properly set to allow enough time to get fastener down
to upper tool.
Nut is feeding
upside down.
Feed Hose is not
turned
180deg.
Check to ensure the feed hose is turned 180deg from the
singulation module to the upper tool holder.
Incorrect orientation
module or singulation
module.
Check to ensure the correct modules are installed for the
fastener you are running.
Ram comes
down and
taps and then
returns up.
No pressure is
built.
Running non-
conductive material
while in the
conductive mode.
Ensure that you are in the right mode for the material you
are running.
Lower tooling or
material is dirty.
Check the condition of the lower tooling and the material. If
the material is dirty this will not allow tooling contact to
take place.
continuity Spring and
pins worn.
Check the condition of the
continuity springs and pins. Also check to ensure the upper
tooling is not binding on the shaft.
Safety switch not
working
Check the condition of the safety switch. Bring the ram
down to mid stroke and lift up on the upper tool. If the ram
does not return up then inspect the safety switch system for
damage.
Machine is sensing
pressure being built.
Check the pressure transducer for proper operation by
turning off the machine and checking the pressure reading
on the administration screen. If pressure shows zero start
machine and take reading. If pressure rises above 30psi turn
off machine and inspect the hydraulic system.
