Troubleshooting
Trouble | Cause | Corrective measures |
---|---|---|
The machine does not operate though the power switch is turned ON. | Power is not supplied. | Check the connection of the power supply of the AC power adapter. |
The machine has not unloaded screws from the unloading section for a certain amount of time. | Take out the screw from the extraction site. Adjust the timer setting knob. | |
Too many screws were loaded into the scooping chamber. | Reduce the quantity of screws in the scooping chamber to a proper load level. | |
A foreign object (for example: a screw) intruded into the main body. | Remove the foreign object. | |
The AC adapter is faulty. | Consult our service section. | |
Screws do not flow. | Screws with a larger diameter than the specified rail size were loaded or screws with a different diameter were mixed in together. | Use screws with the specified nominal diameter. Remove the screws with the odd nominal diameter. |
An insufficient quantity of screws are in the scooping chamber. | Add a proper quantity of screws into the scooping chamber. | |
Screws in an abnormal position in the passing plate can not be swept away with the brush. | Adjust the brush. Adjust the passing plate. If a proper amount of screws are loaded inteo the scooping chamber, the status may be improved. Use the optional brush (stiffer bristles). | |
The axis of the screw thread entered the passing plate. | Remove the abnormal screw. Check and adjust the passing plate. | |
A screw has stopped in an abnormal position while moving along the rail. | Remove the screw in the abnormal position. Take care not to damage the rail groove. Move the holding plate assembly upward to remove the screw. Re-adjust the position of the holding plate. | |
The rail does not vibrate. (for example, a screw is obstructing the clarance.) | Remove the screw that is obstructing the clearance. Check the vibration adjstment. If nop screw is obstructing the clearance, consult our service section. | |
A screw has fallen into the rail groove. | Screws with a smaller diamataer than the specified rail size were loaded. | Use screw with the nominal damter and length. |
Screws with a shorter total length than the rail groove with were loaded. | No corrective measure is available. Consult our service section. | |
The flow on the screw rail is improper. | The clearance between the holding plate and the head of the loaded screw is too low. | Adjust the holding plate. |
Screws with a spring washer having one increment smaller than the specified nominal ran size were loaded. | Adjust the vibration. If. after following the instructions written above. the machine still does not function properly, consult our service section. | |
The rail is oily or dirty. | Clean the rail. | |
The rail does not vibrate. (A screw is caught in the clearance) | Remove the screws caught in the clearance. If there is no screw that is caught, consult our service section. Check that the vibration level is properly adjusted. | |
The motor is worn. | Replace the motor. | |
Screws tend to pass through the passing plate in an abnormal position. The axis of the screw thread tends to enter the passing plate. | The passing plate is not adjusted properly. | Adjust the passing plate. |
Too many screws are in the scooping chamber. | Reduce the quantity of screws to a proper level. | |
No screw comes to the extraction site. | Screws are stopped while still on the rail. | Adjust the position of the holding plate. |
Screws cannot be transferred smoothly from the rail to the escaper. | Adjust the distance between the end of the rail and the escaoer or adjust the height of the escaper. | |
The machine stops its operation suddenly. | The overload protective circuit was activated. | Turn the machine OFF and then ON again. Remove the cause of overload. |
Too many screws are in the scooping chamber. | Remove screws to a proper level. When the machine stops, even if the screws are at a proper level. consult our service section. | |
A screw is caught in the clearance. | Remove the screw that is caught. | |
A screw. at the extraction site. could not be extracted for an amount of time. | Remove the screw. | |
The scooping operation does not stop though screws are at the extraction site. | The timer knob is not properly adjusted. | Readjust the timer knob. |
The escaper operation does not stop though screws are at the extraction site. | The sensor does not detect a screw. | Readjust the voltage of the sensor. |
A screw has fallen into the machine. | Shake the screw down through the hole at the bottom of the machine. | |
The noise of the machine has increased. | There is insufficient grease. | Apply grease to the transport section. Recommended grease: BR2 Plus, Dow Corning Asia Co. Ltd. |
