cehisa ep-7 stopped working

any ideas? it just stopped on us today in the middle of a panel. glue roller and conveyor belt stopped first (mid panel), then trimmers (15 second lag). glue pot still heats up but nothing else works. i reset all of our emergency stops without any luck. air pressure is there.

First guess would be faulty wire/loose wire on a safety switch for a door or e-stop. Second guess would be an inverter fault/breaker trip.

Before I retired after 39 years a large part of my job was servicing industrial machines. The first thing I would need to see is the electrical prints. Then I would do a visual and sniff test to look for any loose wires, burnt or bad connections, broken belts/chains, frozen bearings etc. What I'm really saying is get a good service person out to look at it.

i talked to adwood this morning and one of the thermal overloads had tripped. i'm not sure why but i reset it and we're up and running again.
thanks for your help.

If the panel was very long, it was likely the overload for your conveyor motor. We used to have an EP-11 and would have to change the beam height from 19mm (actual panel thickness) to 20mm, when banding long parts.

matt,
interesting. the panel was 8' long drawer stock and this was the third piece we ran through. we didn't have any problems running 10+ pieces like this earlier today.
i suspect our glue wasn't quite up to working temperature. the guy running it has only been a catcher previously and had already let it cool down (because he turned it on too soon) shortly before this happened. he told me he thought the temperature was back up to proper range but adwood thought this might be it.

we have an ep-9. This usually happens in long lengths when the pressure beam is too tight, as you have now discovered. Harold.
