    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Theory of Printing The following section explains the theory of printing of the thermal transfer printer (Figure D-1): • The printhead (item 6, Figure D-1) contains miniature heating elements under a glass coating (300 dpi - 12 dots/min) •...

  • Page 238: Printing

    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Printing Continuous motion printing (Figure D-2) is used for printing on moving packaging films in packaging equipment that has a continuous moving action each time a product is packed. Such applications can be found in Continuous VFFS and Horizontal Form Fill Seal (HFFS) or flow-wrap machines.

  • Page 239: Appendix E - Availability

    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Availability Overall Equipment Effectiveness - Availability Tools Introduction The ‘Availability’ tool helps to isolate operational versus equipment issues and allows the user to track the equipment downtime and view the downtime statistics. The pareto of faults that allows the analysis of runtime measurement data, helps the user to understand and eliminate the more frequent causes of both equipment and operational downtime.

  • Page 240: Operational Availability = 1

    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Equipment Total Time = ('Power On' time) + ('Power Off' time in fault state) ‘Equipment Downtime’ is the amount of ‘Equipment Total Time’ the equipment has spent in a ‘Equipment Fault State’. ‘Equipment Fault State’ is defined as the period where the equipment is not available due to a fault, identified as a equipment fault.

  • Page 241: Availability Page

    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Where, ‘Running' time is the time when equipment is ON or requested to be turned ON. Production Time Power ON = (Power 'ON' time) + ('Power Off' time in fault state) Where, Power ‘ON’ time is the time for which the equipment is switched ON irrespective of the status of the printhead.

  • Page 245 ICE Vulcan Service Manual The parameters page shows the equipment parameters for the time of the event, 1 minute before the event and 5 minutes before the event to fully describe and facilitate a diagnosis of the fault and equipment state, at and just before the fault.
  • Page 246 ICE Vulcan Service Manual Touch on the Event message for detailed description of the fault and where available, the parameter page can be selected. Each fault description takes the user to a more detailed of the fault, likely causes and correction actions.

  • Page 251: Glossary

    ICE Vulcan Service Manual Glossary Adjustable Swing Arm Tamp Application Module The adjustable swing arm tamp uses a similar principle as tamp. However, the tamp pad, fitted on an adjustable length arm is swung out to the side, about a 40 mm bore diameter, equivalent to a rotary cylinder, to apply labels to the product in a similar manner to the tamp.
  • Page 252 ICE Vulcan Service Manual Label Sensor This infra-red, thru-beam detector senses the opacity of the label liner before the label is removed. In doing so, it also senses the spaces between the labels and provides label stop control. The sensitivity of this sensor is adjustable, and the stopping position of the label, which is relative to the peel edge, is adjusted electronically.
