General Description

Drive The bottle blowing machine is driven by an asynchronous, three-phase motor and speed reducer unit (01A) located behind the blow wheel. The motor-angle drive connection pulley (03A) transmits motion from the angle drive pulley (02B) on the manual drive. The drive pulley (02A) drives the timing belt (01C) which transmits motion to the motor-speed reducer connection pulley (03D) on the blow wheel drive pinion (02D). The drive is protected by a torque limiter (09A) on the end of the drive shaft. Three spring-closed, air-to-open disk brakes (17D) can stop bottle blowing machine rotation rapidly (emergency stop time: 0.8 sec.). A motor torque limiter sensor (S8.1) reports actuation of the torque limiter (09A) to the programmable logic controller. 01A 01C

6. OPERATION

6.1. Preform Feed 6.1.1.

Loading Preforms on the Feed Turntable The feed rail (A) conveys preforms (B) to the guides (15C and 16C). When the operator initiates the preform feed sequence, the PLC operates the cylinder (58D) to retract the preform feed barrier (33D). The preforms (B) then begin feeding to the feed tray (06C). The low preform level sensor (B13.3) controls preform feed to the feed tray. Whenever the level of preforms on the feed rail (A) drops below the low preform level sensor (B13.3), it extends the preform feed barrier (33D) to interrupt preform feed to the feed tray. Preform feed (B) cannot resume until the level of preforms on the feed rail (A) rises to the level of the high preform level sensor (B13.2). Note:

An incomplete preform neck sensor (B12.7) can be installed on the feed rail (A) as an option. B13.2 B

Synchronizing Preform Loading The preforms from the feed unit (A) mate with a notch on the feed tray (06B). When the operator starts the preform (A) feed sequence, the loading synchronization sensor gives the go-ahead to start loading and synchronizes preform barrier (33C) retraction and arrival of the first notch of the feed tray (06B). Note:

A pneumatic assistance unit on the supply block (A) optimizes preform feeding.

Preform Misfeeds One side of the preform neck ring rests on the feed turntable (06) and the other on the retractable guide (01). If a preform at the tray entrance is not correctly positioned, it will bump the retractable guide (01). Sensor B23.0 detects motion of the guide and retracts it. Retraction time (4 to 5 seconds) permits ejection of several preforms. Preform feed resumes normally once the guide is back in position. Note:

Any 5 consecutive misfeeds causes the machine to shut down progressively.

Empty molds (no preforms) do not undergo preblowing or blowing.

Chapter 6 Page 5/41


Preform Loading The loading cam (06A) is located in the top part of the oven turntable. The fork (03A) keeps the spindle shaft aligned with the pinion. The fork roller (13A) moves across the cam (06A). At the end of the loading cam, the spring (11A) expands. The fork drops pulling the spindle shaft with it. The spindle tip on the end of the shaft, inserts in the preform neck. The preform is now secured on the spindle and is transferred to the oven. If there is excessive resistance to preform loading, the fork roller (13A) hits the cam follower (07A). The sensor (B13.1) detects slight motion of the cam follower (07A). It notifies the PLC, which raises the ejection cams (01B and 09B). The ejection cams then eject the incorrectly loaded preforms. B13.1

Ejecting Incorrectly Loaded Preforms If a preform is incorrectly loaded, the spindle tip will not be inserted completely in the preform (A) neck. As a result, the roller (13B) will not drop completely and will knock on the cam follower (07B). Cam follower motion is detected by the preform loading interlock sensor (B13.1). The sensor notifies the PLC, which operates the cylinder (03C) to raise the ejection cams (01C and 09C). The roller (16B) travels over one of the ejection cams and raises the fork (03B). The fork (03B) pulls the pinion (E) up. The spindle tip retracts into the ejector (D). The preform is released and drops into the ejection chute. The following preform is also ejected when the roller (16B) travels over the other ejection cam. A 7 bar compressed air nozzle (14C) blows both preforms toward the ejection chute. The machine continues the normal operating cycle. If 5 consecutive preforms are incorrectly loaded, the machine shuts down progressively once all the preforms have exited the oven. B13.1

SBO DC 16 / SBO 18 / SBO 20 (SERIES 2) Machine Description Manual 6.3. Preform Heating 6.3.1.

Description The preforms are heated by 16, 18 or 20 infrared heating modules, depending on the model of machine. Each infrared oven heating module can hold up to 9 superimposed infrared lamps (zones 1 to 9). The lamp bases are cooled by air. Heating is achieved by direct exposure of the preforms to the rack-mounted infrared lamps. The racks can be moved to move the lamps nearer or farther from the preforms. The lamp power, either 2,500 or 3,000 W, can be changed for different types of production. An infrared camera at the oven exit reads the preform temperature and reports it to the programmable logic controller. This permits control of oven temperature to within ±1˚C. Note:

The 3,000 W lamps are installed in zone 1 only.

The oven is divided into two parts: - Penetration oven. SBO 16 Modules

Operation



Heating Preforms Neckdown The preforms in the in-line oven are heated with the neck down to promote heating of the preform bodies, since heat from the lamps rises. The upended position also keeps the preform necks from deforming when the preforms are transferred to the molds. The preform necks are shielded from direct exposure to the lamps by water-cooled heat barriers to avoid softening and possible deformation. The preforms are rotated throughout the heating phase to distribute heat uniformly around the preforms. The spindles are rotated by the top cog (06B) and the bottom cog (07B) on the spindle meshing on the two single chains (03C).

PENETRATION OVEN

When the hot preforms exit the oven, a downending ramp (04A) turns the preforms 180° so that the neck is up.

Operation



Mold opening/closing The followers (14B) move along the cams (02A, 03A, 06A) casuing the connecting rod (05B) to pivot. This moves the rods (04B) causing the mold support unit to open. SAFETY: If there is excess stress when the mold closes, the cam (06A) retracts and the mold support unit will not close. The B12.0 detector indicates a closing malfunction to the plc. This prevents preblowing and blowing into the mold concerned.

Mold Closure Lever Interlock If the mold fails to close, the base link rod (10A) on the mold open/close system is not correctly positioned. The roller (14A) of the base link rod (10A) tips the detection plate (02). Anytime the mold open lever interlock sensor (B9.0) detects motion of the detection plate (02), it causes the PLC to interrupt machine operation. Note:

The index (12) keeps the detection plate (02) from spinning around one full turn to its initial position.

Revision 01 01/03/2000

Operation



Raising/Lowering the Mold Base One retractable cam (05A), that is retracted by a cylinder unit (17A), monitors descent of the mold base once the mold is open. The lowering roller (05B) is held on the cam track by a spring (07B). Another cam (55A) raises the mold base before the mold closes. If the mold base experiences excessive resistance when it is being raised, the roller (05B) bears against the cam (55A). Sensor B9.3 detects that the cam (55A) is being lowered and immediately interrupts operation of the machine. If the mold base stays down because of an incident, the mold base down sensor (B12.2) detects this and retracts the mold base lower cam (05A).

Preform and bottle ejection Each transfer bearing is fitted with an ejection system : - When a defective preform is detected at oven outfeed (infrared sensor), the plc activates the ejection system causing the guide (02a) to intercept the preform. The perform is thus ejected before transfer to the mold. - The bottle ejection guide (02b) system, on the bottle transfer bearing operates in the same way when a defective bottle has been detected in the mold. The bottle is thus ejected before transfer to outfeed wheel.
