How to install and acceptance of Automatic Folder Gluer Machine？

Automatic Folder Gluer Machine is one of the indispensable equipment in the packaging and printing industry, and its stable performance and convenient operation are directly related to the production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, after purchasing and installing a Automatic Folder Gluer Machine, it is especially important to conduct a comprehensive acceptance inspection. This guide is designed to provide buyers with a set of detailed acceptance process, without delay, let us delve into the content of this issue!

1. Machine installation space and location

1-1 Ensure adequate installation space

Before deciding on an installation location, the dimensions of the Automatic Folder Gluer Machine must be carefully evaluated, considering aspects such as length, width, height, and potential expansion space.

1-2.Consider its safe access

Reserve adequate safety access to ensure that operators can freely enter and exit for necessary maintenance and repairs. Consideration should be given to the dimensions of the safe access to the front and rear of the machine, the

1-3.Adequate front and rear clearance

Facilitate the operator to adjust, check and maintain all parts of the machine, and consider the space for the movement of the cart or rail conveyor when loading and unloading paper. Considering the constraints of daily operation and maintenance in a limited space, it is recommended to reserve at least 1 meter clearance between front and rear. Where factory space permits, a clearance of 1.5 or even 2 meters is recommended to provide optimum convenience. Next it is important to ensure that there is sufficient side clearance for maintenance personnel to perform the necessary tasks.

Side clearance should take into account the basic requirements for personnel access and work, and a minimum allowance of at least 60 cm is recommended. where space is available, an allowance of 1 meter or more is recommended as advantageous.

2. Visual inspection

2.1 Appearance and visual inspection

Check the surface of the machine casing for smoothness and obvious scratches, wear or damage, followed by the condition of the paint, checking the machine for uniformity as well as for flaking or oxidation.

2-2. Identification and Marking Inspection

Confirm the contents of all markings and labels, such as the direction of operation, scale numbers are clear, whether it is in line with the equipment identification standards, etc. This check is essential to ensure the smooth production of the machine in the future and the yield rate, the importance of which is second only to the visual inspection. Confirm the presence of necessary safety warning signs to alert operators to specific risks. This is essential to ensure safe production.

2-3. Control Panel Inspection

Test all buttons and switches to ensure that they are responsive and functioning properly,  check the clarity of the panel screen displays to ensure that there are no abnormal flashes or display errors. In addition, evaluate the operator interface language and make any necessary adjustments to align with the language commonly used by machine technicians. Automatic box folder gluers usually have a monitor camera installed at the operator's console, due to the length of the entire machine.

The monitor also needs to pay attention to two key points during acceptance: 1. whether the camera image is clear and free of noise; 2. whether the video playback function is normal.

3. Operation and performance test

The first two parts focus on the installation, positioning and appearance check of the machine in the designated space, which is regarded as a static check. Subsequently, the acceptance of the Automatic Folder Gluer Machine involves tests on the functional operation, including speed test, paper crease and bottom hook test, as well as stability and safety assessment.

3-1. Speed Test

Generally, the operating speed of a Automatic Folder Gluer Machine is measured in meters per minute based on the distance it can cover. Automatic folder gluers typically operate at speeds between 50 and 300 meters per minute, while some models with exceptionally high speeds can reach speeds of up to 400 meters per minute.

For this test phase, you can use the paper work material supplied by the original manufacturer of the machine for testing, or you can prepare different types of glued carton paper for future testing. The test can be carried out on an empty machine and with the working material in place to ensure that the machine runs smoothly at both high and low speeds. It is recommended that the test be done in sections for both high and low speeds, as sometimes different speeds may require adjustments to the machine parameters.

3-2. Stability Test

Positioning and basic installation of the Automatic Folder Gluer Machine usually takes about two to three days. Completion of acceptance and educational training usually takes three to five days. You may be wondering how to assess the stability of the machine in this relatively short period of time. Typically, the following methods can be used to assess the stability of the machine:

3-3. Safety Testing

The safety test of a Automatic Folder Gluer Machine is the final and essential checkpoint after the installation is complete. Its main objective is to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the machine and to reduce the risk of accidents during use. Without a doubt, prioritizing the safety of the machine operator is the most important consideration, over and above all other functional and performance considerations.
