1、 Preparation before operation
1. Equipment inspection
Confirm that the power and gas connections are normal, and that the voltage and air pressure values meet the equipment requirements (usually voltage 380V ± 10%, air pressure 0.6-0.8MPa).
Check the lubrication status of transmission components (such as chains and guide rails), clean the surface and internal foreign objects of the equipment.
2. Material preparation
Place the flat cardboard boxes neatly into the storage compartment, adjust the spacing between the baffles to ensure smooth dropping of the cardboard boxes.
Check whether the instructions and products (such as medication bottles and granule bags) are placed in the designated feeding position according to specifications.
3. Parameter settings
Input parameters such as paper box size (length, width, height) and production speed through the touch screen; Models driven by servo motors require synchronous adjustment of push rod stroke and guide rail spacing.
Set the sealing pressure or hot melt adhesive temperature (if applicable) according to the product characteristics.
2、 Startup and Running Operations
1. Startup initialization
Turn on the main power switch, start the PLC control system, and complete the equipment self-test.
Log in to the operating system interface (such as Kingview) and enter data such as production batch number and expiration date.
2. Trial operation testing
Switch to manual mode, jog and test actions such as opening, loading, and sealing the box, and observe whether the robotic arm and sensor cooperate.
Put in the test paper box and product, verify if the packaging process is smooth and if the seal is tight.
3. Formal production
Switch to automatic mode, start the conveyor belt and feeding system, and the equipment runs at a preset speed (such as 50-100 boxes/minute).
Real time monitoring of the status of the photoelectric sensor to ensure alignment between the product and the paper box; Suspend equipment troubleshooting immediately upon discovering material shortages or stuck boxes.
3、 Adjustment and maintenance during operation
1. Dynamic adjustment
When the size of the paper box changes: loosen the fixing bolts of the guide rail, adjust the lateral guide plate to reserve a gap of 1-2mm, and synchronously modify the touch screen parameters.
When the seal is not secure: check the temperature of the hot melt glue gun or the pressure of the sealing wheel, and if necessary, clean the glue nozzle or replace the tape.
2. Daily maintenance
After each shift, clean the tracks, suction cups, and other dust prone components, lubricate the chains and bearings.
Regularly calibrate sensor sensitivity to avoid false positives or false negatives.
4、 Shutdown operation
1. Normal shutdown
Clear the residual paper boxes and products on the conveyor belt, click the "stop" button on the touch screen to gradually slow down and stop the machine.
Turn off the main power and gas source, register production data, and backup parameter settings.
2. Urgent handling
Press the emergency stop button in case of sudden malfunction, and only restart after troubleshooting issues such as card box and broken film.
5、 Precautions
1. Safety regulations: Operators must wear protective gloves to avoid contact with high-temperature components or moving mechanisms.
2. Compatibility: The recommended weight for paper boxes is 250-350g/㎡. Thin boxes are prone to deformation, while thick boxes can affect folding accuracy.
Through standardized operating procedures and precise parameter adjustment, the fully automatic vertical box packing machine can achieve efficient and stable continuous production, suitable for packaging granular/bottled products in industries such as medicine and food.
