6. Start up
6.2.1 Checking for proper working order without material
The machine must only be put into operation by trained and
qualified personnel.
Before putting into operation with material, the machine must be
allowed to empty to let machine parts run in under low load. Du-
ring this period, the moving parts in particular should be checked
for excessive heat buildup and noise. An excessive buildup of
heat is an indication of incorrect alignment or use of the wrong
lubricants - this must be rectified.
6.2.2 Checking for proper working order with material
Once the machine has been checked without material and run
in, it is put into operation with components under operating
conditions.
Note
As you did on starting up without material, listen
i
for unusual noises and check to see if there is
any heat build up.
6.2.3 Side panels in undefined position
If compressed air is applied with the control voltage switched off
(main switch OFF), the positioning cylinders move to the safe end
position as a result of the pressure differential in the cylinders.
