In high-speed production, "Double-Feeding"—where two screws jam the system simultaneously—is a leading cause of unplanned downtime.

What causes this? 

 Signal Lag: If the inlet sensor fails to detect a screw in time, the cutting mechanism may release a second screw into the tube. 

 Reset Errors: If a technician resets the PLC after a jam without running a "Clearance Program," the residual screw collides with the new one, causing an immediate secondary jam.

Our 3-Tier Prevention Strategy: 

Logic-First: Implement strict "Screw Memory" and automated tube-clearing logic post-reset. 

Mechanical Precision: Optimize sensor positioning and cutting stroke to ensure physical single-screw isolation. 

Signal Integrity: Enhance sensor filtering to eliminate interference, ensuring every signal is a true detection.

By stabilizing the feeding pulse, we keep your OEE high and your downtime low.
