Emergency Stop
Emergency Stop
Press the EMERGENCY STOP push-button to stop the machine in an emergency
situation.
On a system where E-Stop push-buttons are global, when any E-Stop pushbutton
on any machine in the system is pressed, the entire system will be dropped into E-
Stop mode. Each machine must then be inspected, cleared, reset and
started manually by an operator in order to ensure a safe restart of the system.
Opening guard doors on the individual machines will cause local E-Stop
conditions affecting only that machine.
E-Stop Recovery – CMK Cartoner
Whenever the cartoner is E-Stopped the entire machine should be inspected for
possible problems and cleared if necessary. Especially the following areas:
• Carton drop and erection area. If the empty carton drop and setup
sequence is disrupted it could cause a collapsed or jammed carton
on restart.
• Literature feed area. The literature feeder and corresponding carton
should be inspected. Mis-fed literature and cartons without
literature should be removed by the operator.
• Carton gluing area. A partially glued carton may or may not be
detected in the open flap area on restart and may or may not cause
a jam on restart. To be safe, a partially glued carton should be
removed after an E-Stop.
• Laser coding area. The carton in the laser area should be inspected
and removed if it has a half-completed or smudged code.
• Remove any cartons from the cartoner discharge/reject area.
Partially rejected cartons may cause jams and the timing will not be
correct for any cartons that need to be immediately rejected on
restart.
E-Stop Recovery – Transfer Stations
• Whenever an E-Stop condition exists on a stacking station while
the cartoner is running, an air cylinder closes the bottom drop gate
stage. This is done for safety since any time a guard door is open
on one of the stacking stations, all product must be cleared from all
four stages and the acceleration belt. This is the only way to
eliminate the possibility of stack count errors when there is a
problem with one of the stacking stations.
