4.5.2. 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.).
Amotor torque limiter sensor (S8.1) reports actuation of the torque limiter (09A) to the
programmable logic controller.

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.

6.1.2. 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.

6.1.3. 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.

The preforms are then taken to the stabilization wheel (03B) and then to the oven feed
wheel (03C) where they are loaded onto the spindles.
If there is any stress on the lower shaft (31D) of the oven feed wheel (03C), the torque
limiter (41D) is set off and the machine stops.

6.2.2. 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 camfollower (07A). It notifies the PLC,
which raises the ejection cams (01B and 09B).
The ejection cams then eject the incorrectly loaded preforms.

6.2.3. 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.
A7 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.

prevents the noise that occurs when the machine tries to load a missing preform.

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
1C.
Note: The 3,000 W lamps are installed in zone 1 only.
The oven is divided into two parts:
- Penetration oven.
Modules 1 to 8 1 to 9 1 to 10
- Distribution oven.

6.3.2. 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).
When the hot preforms exit the oven, a downending ramp (04A) turns the preforms 180
so that the neck is up.

6.5. Preform conveyors
6.5.1. Preform pick-up at the oven outfeed and stabilization
When the preforms are unloaded from the spindles at the oven outfeed they are
positioned between the inner (01A) and outer guides (21A) and are then engaged on the
toothed wheel (04A) on the conveyor table.
The preforms then engage on the toothed wheels (04B, 04C) until they reach the grips
on the pitch change wheel (04D).
The time spent on the toothed wheels (04A, 04B, 04C) allows the preforms to stabilize
before entering the blow wheel.

6.7. Stretching and Blowing Preforms
6.7.1. Description
The hot preforms are transformed into the finished product (bottles) at the blowing
station :
- The hot preforms are stretched axially by the stretching shaft (A).
- They are expanded axially by compressed air in a two-step process: preblowing at
medium pressure and blowing at high pressure through the nozzle (03B) used with
the distribution block (01C).
The stretching, preblowing and blowing operations are designed to produce bottles with
highly uniform wall thickness.
The nozzles maintain a perfect seal on the mold centeringring whatever level of blowing
pressure.

6.7.2.1. Square GUPM mold support unit locking
The mold support unit is closed.
The cam follower (34A) moves along the locking cam (02B).
The profile of the cam (02B) causes the follower to rise taking with it the shaft
(16B) / locking (17A, 18A) assembly.
The locking pins (17A, 18A) slide into the rings on the left support block
(02A).
The mold support unit is now locked.
Note: The brake disc (29A) presses on the shaft (16A), and holds the shaft
(16A) / locking (17A, 18A) assembly until the unit reaches the
unlocking cam. If there is a malfunction on locking, the follower
(34A) will be pressed on the locking cam (02B). The cam will move
slightly on the pivot pin (04B). The detector (B12.3) (mold not
locked) indicates the movement to the plc. The plc prevents
preblowing and blowing in the incorrectly locked mold support unit.
The spring (07B) resets the cam back to its initial position.

6.7.3. 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.

6.7.4. 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.

6.7.5. 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 whenit 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).

6.7.6. Gripping assistance
The machine is fitted with 4-stage nozzles to assist the gripping and release of items
from the molds.
The four-stage nozzle (12A) operating cycle consists several sequences:
- When the preforms are dropped into the molds, pressure is introduced into the first
section of the lower body (02A) and the end-piece moves into the preform neck (B).
At the end of the intermediate piston stroke (09A), the seal (13A) on the nozzle (12A)
is situated at X = 19 mm (approximately) above the mold contact surface: the grips
(06C) disengage from the preform neck (37A).

6.7.7. Preform Stretching
The stretching shaft (A) stretches the heated preforms (B) axially. It is attached to the
ram (02C).
The stretching shaft and ram (02C) unit is operated by a cylinder (03C) and the
stretching downstroke profile (05D).
- The nozzle (03E) mounted on the end of the nozzle (E) is powered by 7 bar air. It is
lowered onto the mold centering ring (F) to seal in preblowing and blowing air
pressure.
- The roller (06C) on the ram (02C) is lowered onto the stretching downstroke cam
(05D) by the cylinder (03C).
- The stretching shaft extends down to the bottom of the hot preform: this is the start
of active stretching (the 0 point).
- The stretching shaft continues the downstroke, as determined by the stretching
downstroke cam(05D). It orients the preformaxiallydown tothe bottomof the mold:
this is the end of active stretching (the 10 point).
Note: The stretching and blowing processes are performed concurrently and are
synchronized based on the production process in use.

Preblowing (radial expansion) starts during the stretching (axial elongation) phase.
Note: Elongation and blowing are performed concurrently and are synchronized
according to the manufacturing process.
- The programmable controller, informed of stretching shaft (B) position, actuates a
solenoid valve on the 13-bar air system distribution block (01C).
- The nozzle cylinder (D) is pressurized and compressed air is discharged between the
piston (02D) and the stretching shaft (B) down to the nozzle (03D). The preform(A)
is partially inflated by preblowing at 13 bar.

6.7.10. Compensation
The square GUPM mold support units are fitted with pressure compensated molds.
An O-ring (13A) fitted into the groove on the left half-mold (B) seals the compensation
chamber into which the 40 bar blowing air is forced.
The left half-mold (B) is fitted on the left support block (02C) which moves slightly
under the force of the compensation pressure to clamp onto the fixed right-hand
half-mold (D).
This pressure compensates for the pressure inside the molds preventing them from
opening.
The elastic spring washers (12A) allow the half-mold to move slightly as soon as the
pressure is established.
The Quick Change screws (06A) are adapted to the molds and control the
compensation setting.

6.8.4. 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.
