Operating Properly
Page 4-16
Table 4-1. Troubleshooting Chart (Continued)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Brush extend timer at the touch-
screen is incorrect for the applica-
tion.
Air pressure to the machine is too
low.
Air cylinder flow controls are set
incorrectly.
Air lines are pinched or
obstructed.
Debris or condensation is in the
air lines.
Break in the wiring to the cutter
solenoid.
Cutter / brush solenoids are defec-
tive
SOLUTION
Look for the arm to activate smoothly, but
at the wrong time.
Observe the factory preset value on the
settings screen. Re-adjust the brush extend
timer as needed.
Observe the pressure gauge at the pressure
regulator behind the lower rear access
panel.
Air supply to the machine should be 80
PSI @ 3CFM.
If the regulator shows correct pressure, the
flow controls are suspect.
Check the flow controls by manually acti-
vation of the cutter jog function on the
touchscreen. Adjust the flow controls on
the clamp cylinders so that they operate
smoothly.
observe all 1/4 inch polyflow tubing.
Remove any obstruction. Correct any
pinched lines.
Purge the air filter / regulator.
If water appears, then condensation is in
the air lines. Correct the water issue, then
purge the air lines by manually jogging
the cutter/ brush until no water remains.
There is DC voltage at the cutter PLC out-
put, but no voltage at the cutter/ brush
solenoid.
Locate and repair break in the signal wir-
ing between the PLC and solenoids.
There is DC voltage at the cutter / brush
solenoids but the solenoids do not acti-
vate.
Replace the cutter/ brush solenoids.
