4.3 INSTALLATION SETTINGS
►Care should be taken for the floor to be straight and sound the
machine will be positioned. Note that there will be sufficient distance
around the machine in order to work safely, for easy servicing and
maneuvers.
►
The machine should be scaled. The machine that is well scaled will
reduce the vibration, working will be easier and the production and the
quality will also increase.
►Pressure of air should constitute 6-8 Bar. Usage of a thick hose
interferes with air pressure decrease on all length of a line. Besides, it is
necessary to avoid hit of moisture for the prevention of breakage of
valves and pneumocylinders.
►Warning:if there is no air dryer in the pneumatic system connection
of machine, parts of the pneumatic group are not subject to warranty
service!
►The electrical connections of the machine should be done by the
service staff or qualified electrician.
►
The used electric switchboard should correspond to norms of safety
and electric standards. The voltage stabilizer should be connected to a
line of a supply of electricity.
►The grounding contour prevents aggrieving to the user by wandering
currents, for this reason the correct system and reliability of a contour of
grounding has special importance.
►Grounding line should be connected to the machine body.
►Voltage changes, its increase and decrease is harmful and dangerous
to the equipment. To prevent these events use a voltage stabilizer.
Otherwise the manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for possible
malfunctions.
►Warning: if there is no voltage stabilizer in electric system connection
of the machine, parts of electric and pneumatic are not subject to
warranty service!
►In the machine used a cable with 5 pins (3 phases + 1 neutral + 1
grounding), corresponding to IP 44 standards and the power of machine.
It is necessary to ensure that similar standards for plug sockets.

MAINTENANCE AND THE LUBRICATION OF THE MACHINE
6.2 MAGNETIC SENSOR
►There is a magnet inside the pneumatic cylinder and this magnet moves with the piston.
►The magnetic sensor connected to the surface of the piston open its contacts when it is effects
by this magnet. If the position of the magnetic sensor changes that is to say it will not contact
with the magnet so the signal will not go the PLC and therefore there will not be any action
performed.
In this case the sensor is placed by moving forward or backward slightly in the arrow direction.
(the light on the sensor turns on when the magnet contacts with the sensor and the sensor is
fixed in that position so the problem will be solved).

►If some operations on machine does not start to process or an air leakage occurs continuously in
the valves, you should perform following:
1. Look the pneumatic drawing to understand which cylinder works with which valve. If you
don’t have the pneumatic drawing, follow the input- output pipes of the cylinder to
understand.
2. Take off the air pipes connected to the A and B cable glands. Give air from A and check from
B. If air comes from B, the cylinder seal must be malfunctioning.
3. When air is given from B, the cylinder rod must still be giving out air, the neck seal C must be
malfunctioning. If after checking them, A, B and C give out no air but there still is a leakage
through the valves exhaust, check the valve.
4. After you have checked them, if A, B and C give out no air but there still is a leakage through
the valves exhaust, then check the valve.
5. If the coil does not move by pressing the manual button, the coil may have broken down and
it must be replaced. (A very low voice coming from coils when electric applied to them must
be heard.) If the voice cannot be heard, check the electricity feed for coils.
