Blow molding machine troubleshooting tips
The bottle blowing machine is the crystallization of the integration of machinery, electronic control, and hydraulics. It is electrically complex, has crisscrossed hydraulic pipelines, has various controllers, and has various fault phenomena. There are thousands of components in a large bottle blowing machine. If one of the components is faulty, it will cause abnormal phenomena in the bottle blowing machine. There will also be problems with the connection of the wires. A little negligence will cause problems. In addition, Large bottle blowing machines are bulky and can easily cause malfunctions due to environmental influences when used in a blowing workshop without a constant temperature. For this reason, the problem of "difficult maintenance" of imported bottle blowing machines is placed in front of us.

How can faults and hidden dangers be quickly identified and eliminated in a timely manner? I believe that first of all, we must have a high sense of responsibility; second, we must strive to master CNC hydraulic technology. Years of practice in repairing bottle blowing machines believe that we need to read more, ask more questions, remember more, think more, and practice more to gradually improve our technical level. and maintenance capabilities to adapt to various more complex situations, solve difficult problems, and repair the bottle blowing machine.
1. Learn more about the electronic circuit information of the bottle blowing machine
You need to read more and understand the characteristics and functions of various bottle blowing machine electronic circuit systems and PC and PLC programmable controllers; you need to understand the alarms and troubleshooting methods of the bottle blowing machine electronic circuit system; you need to understand PC and PLC bottle blowing machines. The meaning of parameter setting; you need to understand the programming language of PC and PLC; you need to understand the method of programming the bottle blowing machine action; you need to understand the operation of the bottle blowing machine control panel and the contents of each menu. There is often a lot of information. How do you read it? I think the main thing is to highlight the key points and understand the ins and outs. The key point is to understand the basic composition and structure of the bottle blowing machine controller and master the block diagram. The rest can be "toured" and read through, but each part of the content must be understood and mastered. Since the internal circuit diagram of the bottle blowing machine controller is quite complex, the manufacturer does not provide it. Therefore, it is not necessary to understand it in detail. It is necessary to focus on understanding the role of each part, the functions of each board, the whereabouts of the interfaces, the meaning of the LED lights, etc. Nowadays, there are many types of bottle blowing machine controllers and they are updated quickly. Different manufacturers and different models often vary greatly. To understand their commonalities and individualities.
2. Pay more attention to the electrical diagram of the bottle blowing machine and the electrical diagram of the digestion bottle blowing machine.
Each electrical component, such as contactors, relays, time relays, etc., as well as the input and output of PCs and PLCs, must be noted one by one on the electrical diagram.
3. Read more about the hydraulic diagram of the bottle blowing machine and digest it thoroughly.
For the mechanical and hydraulic diagram of the bottle blowing machine, it is necessary to understand its function and ins and outs. And indicate them one by one on the drawings, such as which solenoid valve is used to clamp the mold? What are the corresponding PC and PLC outputs and inputs? Write it down on the diagram, so that you can go from electrical to mechanical action in one go. At the same time, you should focus on understanding the parts that are closely related to machinery and electricity. Nowadays, bottle blowing machines use electro-hydraulic proportional technology, and you should focus on understanding their functions and functions, especially It is necessary to understand the adjustment method and adjustment data, the static and dynamic proportional valve current and the corresponding pump pressure, understand both electricity and machinery, mechatronics, and master a variety of skills, so that the ability to solve problems will be greater.
