La selladora fp6000 dice baja sobrecorriente en motor, después de un rato, en quitar la alarma y tratar de trabajar. Esta funciona aveces durante todo el día, por que hay ocasiones en que después de 3 horas vuelve a fallar, pero si no fallo, al día siguiente, al momento de arrancarla falla. Que podría ser?.

A low overcurrent alarm in the motor and intermittent operational issues on the Smipack FP6000 sealer could be caused by:

1. Worn or unlubricated mechanical parts creating resistance, such as:
- Drive shaft needing cleaning and lubrication.
- Rollers causing anomalous noise due to lack of lubrication.
- Belt or connecting belt wear requiring replacement.

2. Electrical issues, such as:
- Relay switch 12.KM.1 - 12.KM.2 failing to open or close properly.
- Improper electrical operation of the relay switch.

3. Sensor issues, including:
- Disconnected or malfunctioning sensors (e.g., sealing bar safety sensor or position transducer) affecting machine coordination.

4. Pneumatic system problems:
- Insufficient air pressure or air supply interruptions affecting pneumatic components.

These issues can increase motor load, cause irregular movements, and trigger overcurrent alarms.
