Why we run every machine empty at the factory, what the checklist actually includes, and where material-specific validation fits in the process.
Why the machine is run without adhesive
Adhesives are customer-specific. Loading a substitute material at the factory would prove very little about your formulation, and would introduce cleaning, disposal and cross-contamination risks immediately before packing. We therefore validate the machine, not the chemistry, in a no-load trial run.
What the no-load trial run checks
The run follows a fixed checklist on every machine, regardless of series or automation level.
- PLC and servo power-on self-test
- Idle cycle run of metering, filling and piston pressing units
- Motion sequence validation across all stations
- Alarm simulation and interlock response
- Noise and abnormal vibration inspection
- Fixture and changeover checks for the ordered cartridge format
Incoming parts, assembly and packing
The trial run is the last step in a longer chain: incoming part inspection, in-house machining, assembly, electrical integration and then functional testing in our own building. The machine that arrives is the machine we tested.
Once the run is signed off, the line is prepared for export in a wooden case with a recommended spare-parts kit. English documentation and remote commissioning support are supplied; on-site commissioning can be arranged.
What happens after delivery
At your plant the first adhesive-filled cycles are still a commissioning activity. Having the no-load report makes that step shorter: mechanical sequence, alarms and motion are already verified, so any remaining deviation can be traced to material, supply pressure or line settings rather than to the machine build.
