Symptoms

The packaging machine reports a packaging material break. The material web has broken or run out, stopping production.

Possible Causes

  • Material reel depleted or web tension too high
  • Material quality issue causing web weakness
  • Web guide misalignment causing edge tearing

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the material reel for remaining material
    New reel is loaded if depleted
  2. Step 2: Verify web tension is set within specification
    Tension is at the correct setpoint
  3. Step 3: Check the web guide alignment and sensor operation
    Web tracks centered without wandering
