Conquering Common Malfunctions of Versatile Automated Medical Tubing Cutters: A Comprehensive Guide to Solutions
1. Unable to Start with Alarm During Startup:
Issue: Overload alarm due to different positions of the upper cutting knife at startup.
Remedy: Power off, loosen cutting knife slide adjustment screws, restart, fine-tune screws while running, power off/on again to verify. If issues persist, rotate the eccentric wheel after opening the front cover to change its position.
2. Normal Start but Alarm During Operation:
Issue: Restricted or severely worn cutting knife slide path activates overload alarm.
Solution: Refer to solutions for issues one and three.
3. Common Alarm Faults:
1. Batch Pause Alarm: Intermittent beeping during batch pause; the beeping stops automatically after the pause period.
2. Abnormal Blade Alarm: Intermittent beeping with the “Blade Abnormal” prompt in the top right corner of the screen. Pressing the “Stop” button cancels the alarm.
4. Unable to Shut Down with Power Button:
Issue: Program error.
Resolution: Deactivate power, reboot, and perform a factory reset (refer to user manual for precise instructions).
5. Stepper Motor Not Rotating:
Issue 1: Motor rotates in only one direction.
Solution: Check connections between the motherboard and stepper driver; contact the supplier if the driver is faulty.
Issue 2: Motor doesn’t rotate in any direction.
Solution: Check power indicator on the stepper driver; inspect and reconnect cables; contact the supplier if the issue persists.
6. Cutter Running, Feeding Wheel Not Moving:
Solution: Similar to solution three. Another possibility is a broken triangular belt in the transmission system, requiring replacement.
7. Inconsistent Tube Lengths:
Causes: Improper adjustment of pressure wheels, dirty feeding wheel, worn feeding path, excessive resistance on the tube rack.
Solutions: Adjust pressure wheels based on material elasticity, clean feeding wheel, replace worn components, use a horizontal rotating material rack for better results.
8. Uneven Cutting with Burrs:
Issue: Worn cutting blade.
Solution: Replace the cutting blade; resharpening may be possible.
9. Feeding Failure:
Malfunction: Loose slide path results in upper knife stopping too low, disrupting material feed.
Solution: Tighten the slide path adjustment screw to raise the position of the cutting knife.
10. Failure to Run Upon Startup:
Possible Cause: Count exceeds the set production value.
Solution: Clear the count and restart.
11. Unusual Noise During Operation:
Issue: Severe wear on the slide path causing significant swinging of the cutting frame.
Solution: Replace the slide path and cutting frame. Another cause might be vibration in the pressure roller, resolved by wrapping tape around its shaft to eliminate horizontal radial gaps.
