Pallet Wrapping Machine: Film Carriage Not Going Up? Here’s How to Fix It!
If you work with pallet wrapping machines, you must have faced issues with the film carriage at some point in time. One of the most common problems is the film carriage not going up, which can be quite frustrating if you’re running a warehouse or logistics business. In this video, we will guide you on how to fix this problem and ensure a smooth operation of your pallet wrapping machine.
To begin with, we will discuss the possible causes of why the film carriage is not going up. It could be due to a faulty motor, loose wires, a faulty limit switch or a damaged sensor. Once you identify the specific problem, you can proceed to the repair.
Firstly, let’s check if the motor is working correctly. Usually, a faulty motor is the root cause of the film carriage not going up. If that’s the case, you might need to replace the motor. Conducting a test on the motor by using a voltmeter will help you confirm whether it’s operational or not.
Another possible reason for the film carriage not going up is a loose wire connection. Inspect the wiring around the motor and the upper limit switch and re-tighten any loose wires. This usually resolves the problem in no time.
If the wiring does not seem to be the problem, consider inspecting the limit switch. It’s a small mechanized tool that activates the stop button when the film on the carriage reaches the top of the pallet. If the limit switch is faulty, it will prevent the film carriage from going up. Replacing the limit switch is usually a simple process and can be done in-house.
Lastly, if none of the above steps rectify the problem, check if the sensor is damaged. Sensors in pallet wrapping machines detect the height of the pallets. If they are damaged, the film carriage will not go up. Replacing sensors can be tricky, but most suppliers offer maintenance support.
In conclusion, having a pallet wrapping machine with a film carriage that doesn’t go up can be frustrating, especially for warehouse and logistics businesses. However, with a proper understanding of the causes of the problem and the correct troubleshooting techniques, you can quickly get it back to working correctly.
