Maintenance guides for automatic sticker labeling machines

With the popularization of automated production, automatic sticker labeling machines have become an indispensable and important equipment in many packaging production lines. With its high efficiency and high precision, it provides great convenience for product labeling operations in various industries. However, the long-term stable operation of the equipment is inseparable from scientific and reasonable maintenance. This article will introduce the maintenance strategy of the automatic sticker labeling machine in detail to help users extend the life of the equipment, improve production efficiency and reduce the failure rate.

1. Brief description of the structure and working principle of the automatic sticker labeling machine

The automatic sticker labeling machine is mainly composed of a mechanical transmission system, a labeling head, a labeling mechanism, a control system and a sensor. Its working process is generally as follows: the product is sent to the labeling position by the conveying system. After the sensor detects the product signal, the labeling head accurately attaches the self-adhesive label to the surface of the product.

Due to the complex working environment and frequent operation of the automatic sticker labeling machine, both mechanical parts and electronic components need to be regularly inspected and maintained to avoid poor labeling or equipment shutdown due to wear, dust accumulation and other problems.

2. Why is it so important to maintain the automatic sticker labeling machine?

Extend equipment life: Reasonable maintenance can reduce mechanical wear, corrosion and aging, extend the overall life of the equipment, and reduce replacement costs.

Ensure labeling quality: A well-maintained labeling machine can keep the labeling position accurate and reduce quality problems such as label skew, wrinkling, and misalignment.

Improve production efficiency: Regular maintenance reduces equipment failures and downtime, and ensures smooth operation of the production line.

Ensure operational safety: Equipment abnormalities often cause safety hazards due to inadequate maintenance. Regular inspections can promptly detect hidden dangers and prevent accidents.

3. Daily maintenance points for automatic sticker labeling machines

Cleaning and maintenance

Labeling head cleaning: The labeling head is an important component that directly contacts the label. Label glue, paper scraps and other dirt are easy to adhere to its surface, affecting the quality of labeling. Use a soft dust-free cloth dipped in an appropriate detergent to clean it every day, and avoid using highly corrosive chemicals.

Cleaning of conveyor belts and rollers: If dust accumulates or foreign matter adheres to the conveyor belts and rollers, it will affect the smoothness of product delivery and labeling accuracy. It is recommended to check and clean daily to ensure that there are no obstacles.

Cleaning of sensors and electrical components: The surface of the sensor should be kept clean to prevent dust from affecting signal detection. Wipe the surface of the sensor with a clean soft cloth and regularly check whether the electrical components are firmly connected.

Lubrication and maintenance

Lubrication of mechanical transmission parts: Moving parts such as transmission chains, gear bearings, etc. need to be regularly filled with suitable lubricants or grease to reduce wear and prevent rust. Generally, lubrication is performed once a week or every 100 hours of work.

Avoid lubricant contamination of labels: During the lubrication process, be careful to prevent lubricants from splashing onto the labels and labeling surfaces to avoid affecting the label pasting effect.

Tightening inspection

Check the looseness of fasteners: The automatic labeling machine vibrates for a long time, and fastening screws, nuts, etc. are easy to loosen. Check all fasteners every month, and tighten them in time if they are found to be loose to ensure the stability of the mechanical structure.

Adjustment of the adjustment mechanism: The position of the labeling head, pressure roller, guide device, etc. need to be accurately adjusted, and regular inspections and fine-tuning should be performed according to production needs.

Electrical system maintenance

Cleaning the inside of the electric control cabinet: Too much dust in the electric control cabinet can cause problems such as overheating and short circuit of components. It is recommended to clean it every 3 months.

Check the electrical connection: Regularly check whether the cable interfaces and electrical components are loose, aged, or burned, and replace damaged parts in time.

Software system update and backup: The control system software needs to be kept at the latest version, and the parameters should be backed up regularly to prevent accidental loss.

Spare parts management

Preparation of commonly used wearing parts: Spare parts such as label sensors, rubber wheels of labeling heads, and conveyor belts should always be prepared in sufficient quantity to ensure rapid replacement and reduce downtime.

Record replacement history: Establish spare parts replacement records, analyze the life cycle of wearing parts, and provide data support for procurement and maintenance.

4. Common faults and maintenance tips

Labels are crooked or wrinkled

Cause analysis: uneven pressure of labeling heads, unstable tension of label reels, and unstable conveying of conveyor belts.

Maintenance measures: Check the pressure roller of the labeling head and adjust the pressure evenly; adjust the tension of the label reel; ensure that the conveyor belt is properly tensioned.

The label does not come out or skips

Cause analysis: sensor failure, label transmission mechanism jamming.

Maintenance measures: clean and calibrate the sensor, check whether the transmission mechanism is blocked by foreign objects, and lubricate the transmission parts.

Equipment shutdown alarm

Cause analysis: poor contact of electrical components, abnormal control system.

Maintenance measures: check the electrical interface, restart the equipment, restore the software system to factory settings or upgrade.

5. Maintenance precautions

Train operators: ensure that operators and maintenance personnel have professional knowledge and standardize operation and maintenance procedures.

Use original accessories and lubricants: avoid affecting equipment performance due to accessory quality problems.

Establish maintenance files: record each maintenance content, equipment status and failure conditions for easy management and tracking.

As an important equipment for modern packaging automation, the maintenance of automatic sticker labeling machine cannot be ignored. Through scientific daily cleaning, regular lubrication, tightening inspection and electrical maintenance, the stability and production efficiency of the equipment can be significantly improved, and the failure rate and maintenance cost can be reduced. It is hoped that the maintenance strategy provided in this article can help enterprises better manage labeling equipment and achieve efficient, stable and sustainable production goals.
