    PREFACEThe FILTEC Filler Management System, Bottle Version, Mainte-nance and Parts Manual along with the FILTEC Filler Management System, Bottle Version Operation Manual complete the Industrial Dynamics product documentation set that provides essential infor-mation on how to properly install, operate, and maintain the FILTEC Filler Management System, Bottle Version.

    The FMS, Bottle Version, is designed to be integrated with a filler/capper system. It provides precision monitoring to identify lowfilling/highfilling valves, capper heads that misapply caps, and accurate sampling (if rejector is installed) of bottles from desig-nated valves or heads at production speed. If quantitative analysis is included, it also provides graphical information that can be used for diagnosing problems and for optimizing filler/capper operations.

    To achieve these precision monitoring and sampling objectives, Industrial Dynamics strongly recommends that the maintenance instructions be followed exactly in the sequence outlined in this manual.

    Manual OverviewThis manual addresses the installation, maintenance, trouble-shooting, repair and parts replacement procedures, and calibration for the FILTEC Filler Management System (FMS), Bottle Version.

    NOTEThe information in this manual covers a typical FMS bottle system, but does not cover all the various options available for such systems. Operator/maintenance personnel should refer to the specific manuals provided for any optional equipment.

    This Maintenance and Parts Manual is divided into six chapters:

    Chapter 1 - Operation Verification: provides daily operational checks of the electronics, touchscreen and monitor, sensors, gamma station(s), encoder, and printer (optional)

    Chapter 2 - Periodic Maintenance: provides daily, weekly, and quarterly maintenance information.

    Chapter 3 - Troubleshooting: provides a functional breakdown of components by location and FMS error messages with probable causes and associated corrective actions.

    ii Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04)

    Chapter 4 - Alignment and Calibration Procedures: provides infor-mation about sensor offset parameters, adjusting the outfeed and optical sensors, performing operational checks on sensors, calibrating gamma stations, and adjusting static fill level.

    Chapter 5 - Repair and Replacement Procedures: provides infor-mation about repairing and replacing major system components.

    Appendix - Drawings and Part Lists: provides information about replacement parts, service items, electronic cards and related assem-blies, recommended spare parts, drawings, and parts lists.

    Reducing The Cost of Factory Service VisitsIDC recommends training one or two technicians on FMS theory and repair. If there is difficulty solving an FMS-related problem, telephone technical support is available. This may save charges for a visit by an IDC Service Representative and minimize delays when service representatives are not immediately available.

    Software IdentificationThe software is identified by a version code. The version code is identified by three alpha characters.

    The version code may be viewed on the FMS screen (Master Menu Diagnostics Prom Version Codes). This screen appears during the system power-up or when the system reset switch is pressed.

    When calling Industrial Dynamics for assistance, always have the serial number of the FMS and the software version code available for reference purposes.

    YRADIOLOGICAL SAFETY INFORMATION

    Gamma Based Units

    The Filler Management System (FMS), Bottle Version, uses a FILTEC Model FT-100 Inspection System that employs a radio-isotope as a source of gamma radiation for inspection purposes. Either one or two sources are used in the device based upon the application. The various source configurations are:

    1x100 milliCurie source 2x100 milliCurie sources

    The FILTEC Model FT-100 Inspection System uses the radio-isotope Americium-241 as a source of 60 KEV gamma radiation. The radioactive material used in this source is in ceramic form and is adhered inside the source capsule by a melting process at 900 to 1000 degrees C. After the radioactive material is adhered inside the 304L stainless steel capsule, the capsule is then sealed by double fusion welds resulting in a rugged unit with high mechanical integrity.

    The source capsules are mounted inside the source enclosure on the Inspection Head. Each source capsule is housed in a secondary sealed stainless steel source box assembly for additional containment and safety. The secondary source boxes are mounted by bolts and safety wired inside the Inspection Head. This method prevents plant personnel from tampering with the radioisotope sources.

    An automatic source shutter is used to block all radiation from the sources when in the OFF (down) position. This autoshutter is activated by an air cylinder which is driven by an air solenoid valve. The air cylinder is spring loaded in the down or OFF position so if the system fails for any reason, the source radiation will be blocked by the extended autoshutter. When air is applied to the cylinder, the piston raises the autoshutter mechanism and the gamma beams are directed toward the radiation detectors.

    The autoshutter is designed so it blocks all the gamma radiation from the sources. The autoshutter air solenoid valve is normally connected to the user's conveyor line power source, so if the production line is shut down, then the autoshutter closes. This gives automatic protection to the line operators when the production line is shut down.

  • Filler Management System, Bottle Version, Maintenance and Parts Manual

    iv Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04)

    There are two LED indicators mounted on top of the Inspection Head which are activated by internal reed switches that show the position of the autoshutter. The Red indicator will be ON when the autoshutter is in the up position and the gamma beams are unblocked. The Green indicator will be ON (Red OFF) when the autoshutter is in the down position and the gamma beams are blocked.

    One of these LED indicators must be ON at all times during the normal operation of the machine. If both indicators are OFF when the machine is operational, the indicator system should be checked immediately. Either the indicators or reed switches have probably malfunctioned. The position of the autoshutter can also be seen by looking at the visual indicator window located inside the inspection tunnel. The window will show green when the autoshutter is closed and red when the autoshutter is open and the gamma beams activated.

    There are two possible hazards from any radioactive material:

    External (an excessive amount of radiation received from a source outside the body)

    Internal (ingestion of radioactive material into the body)

    The radioisotope used in the FILTEC Model FT-100 Inspection System is a relatively weak source of low energy (low penetrating power) gamma radiation. Furthermore, the gamma radiation beams are well collimated and shielded to reduce the radiation everywhere except directly in front of the radiation windows.

    It is virtually impossible, under normal conditions, to receive an appreciable radiation dose at a location other than directly in front of the radiation windows when the autoshutter is open. While it is recommended that personnel do not place their hands in front of the radiation windows when the autoshutter is open (Red indicator ON), as there is no necessity for doing so, it would require a considerable length of time to receive an excessive radiation dose.

    The primary potential hazard of radioactive materials, in general, is ingesting them into the body where they can expose vital organs to their ionizing radiation at very close range. This hazard is of primary concern where radioactive material exists in a form which could be absorbed into the body. In the FILTEC Model FT-100 Inspection System, however, the radioactive material is sealed by double fusion welds into a stainless steel capsule.

  • Radiological Saftey Information

    Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04) v

    At manufacture, and again at installation, each capsule is subjected to rigorous tests capable of detecting the leakage of five millionths of one percent of the contents. Thus, as long as a source capsule is not smashed or punctured in some way, there is essen-tially no danger of radioactive material being released. As an additional precaution, the regulatory agencies require that a licensed individual inspect each source and autoshutter mechanism and conduct a wipe test at periodic intervals. The interval is three years in the U.S.A., one year in Canada, and may be different elsewhere.

    While the possibility is extremely remote that anything could happen to the FT-100 to create a hazard from its radioactive material, the precautions are quite simple and should be adhered to as well as the applicable State and NRC regulations.

    You have been supplied with a copy of the Rules, Regulations, and Registration requirements for your location. Following is a brief synopsis of the general requirements:

    1. Do not open or tamper with the sealed and safety wired enclo-sures containing the radioisotope sources.

    2. Do not place hands between the sources and detectors when the autoshutter is open (ON) and the Red indicator is lit.

    3. Have inspection and wipe tests performed by a properly licensed person at the specified three year intervals (Qualified Industrial Dynamics personnel can do this). Keep a record of each inspection and test.

    4. In the case of an accident which crushes or punctures the source enclosure, seal off the area, cover the FILTEC FT-100 Inspection System and surroundings with a plastic sheet or tarpaulin and call Industrial Dynamics immediately.

    5. Do not relocate or dispose of the FILTEC FT-100 Inspection System without proper approval. A person with a Specific License must handle these functions.

    6. If you have any questions, call Industrial Dynamics.

    Understanding Radiation Safety

    X-Ray Base Units

    The Filtec Model FT-175 utilizes an x-ray generator to produce the x-ray radiation required for performing inspection activities. The secured and insulated x-ray generator housing completely contains and shields all high voltage components within the x-ray housing assembly.

    The x-ray assembly contains a thermal safety sensor that monitors the temperature of the x-ray housing assembly and immediately shuts off (de-energizes) the x-ray generator when the temperature exceeds 60 degree C. When the x-ray generator is de-energized, no x-ray is produced and there is no residual x-ray exposure.

    The only possible way to be exposed to hazardous levels of radio-active material using this equipment is externally, through excessive exposure to a radiation source outside the body. There are no by products that can be ingested into the body.

    The FT-175 is unlikely to create hazardous radiation levels for the following reasons:

    The FT-175s x-ray generator produces a relatively weak source of low energy (low penetrating power) x-ray radiation. To receive a hazardous dose of radiation from this low energy source would require extremely long exposure directly to the main radiation beam.

    While we warn against placing hands or other body parts in front of the x-ray beam when it is turned on, it would require several hours of exposure for the hand to receive an excessive radiation dose.

    The x-ray beam is tightly confined by shields and collimators and is completely contained within the inspection tunnel. Because the radiation beam does not spread outside the inspection tunnel, it is highly unlikely that under normal circum-stances an appreciable radiation dose could be incurred at a location other than directly in front of the main x-ray beam when the x-ray source is turned on.

    Radiation Safety Guidelines

    1. Do not tamper with the x-ray housing.

  • Filler Management System, Bottle Version, Maintenance

    11 Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04)

    2. Do not place the hands between the x-ray generator and the detector when the x-ray is turned on.

    3. If you have any questions regarding the x-ray safety or operation, contact Industrial Dynamics.

    Radiation Measurement Testing Data

    1. All measurements were taken with Technical Associates Model TBM-IC MARK V survey meter.

    2. Interlock/Electronic Shutter closed - The radiation levels are not measurable.

    3. Interlock/Electronic Shutter open - The extent of the main x-ray beam is completely contained within the tunnel formed by the inspection head and shielding bar. All radiation levels outside the main beam are less than 2 MR/HR.

    4. Machine has optional safety input provided that will disable the x-ray. The most common uses for the saftey input are safety door interlocks, conveyor run/stop signals or any other safety related issue that would need the x-ray unit disabled automatically.

    OPERATION VERIFICATION

    General System DescriptionThe FMS electronics and computer assembly are contained in the Electronics Enclosure (Figure 1-2). This unit receives input from several sensors (Figure 1-1) and from the Inspection Head, positioned over the conveyor downstream of the capper/crowner (referred to as the "closer" throughout this manual).

    The sensors monitor and track bottles that are inspected via the FT-100 Inspection Head, which verifies that they were filled to the required levels. When bottles are not filled to their proper levels, the system detects this and registers the valve that produced the lowfilled or highfilled (optional) bottles. The optional quantitative analysis capability provides graphical information that can be used for diagnosing problems and for optimizing filler/closer operations.

    When equipped with a rejector, the FMS is also capable of rejecting lowfilled/highfilled bottles and can take samples from specific filler valves or closer heads.

    A high-resolution encoder (driven by a flexible coupling from the conveyor sprocket shaft) compensates the rejector for variations in conveyor chain speed. The encoder tracking system (optional), using the encoder and software, provides for tracking bottles from the closer outfeed to the rejector.

    Electronics Operational CheckTurn on the FMS with the power switch located on the side of the Electronics Enclosure. If the FMS is already on and you wish to restart it, push the reset button on the side of the Electronics Enclosure just above the power switch.

    NOTEThe FMS IR Touchscreen Monitor on the Electronics Enclosure (Figure 1-2) is not touch sensitive. When a button is touched, beams emitted from the sides of the screen are broken. The point of the beam break corresponds to the location of the button on the screen. The button flashes from light blue to yellow indicating it has been activated. Due to the IR operation of the monitor, strong direct light can interfere with the proper operation of the Touchscreen.

    After power is applied, the INITIALIZATION SCREEN will appear. At the bottom of the screen it will say: Screen Ready, Please Touch to Continue. Touch the screen. The MASTER MENU screen will appear (Figure 1-3).

    When MASTER MENU SYSTEM SETUP is touched, the SYSTEM SETUP screen will appear. If password is enabled, the alphanumeric PASSWORD ENTRY screen appears. Type the password (including all spaces), then press Enter. If the password is incorrect, the message:

    *** Incorrect Password Entered! ***

    flashes in the upper left-hand corner of the screen for approximately four seconds, then the screen returns to the MASTER MENU.

    If the monitor is ON but the touchscreen fails to respond, try touching a box again. Pressing harder will not help. If the touch-screen still does not respond, refer to Alignment and Calibration, Touchscreen Calibration. If calibration doesnt resolve the problem, refer to Troubleshooting, Touchscreen Not Working.

    CAUTIONTouchscreen can be damaged by cleaning with abrasive cloth or materials.

    Autoshutter Assembly (Gamma Version only)The autoshutter is used to block all radiation from the gamma-sources when in the OFF (down) position. The shutter assembly is mounted in the Inspection Head in the source enclosure above the radiation sources. It is operated by an air cylinder actuated by an air solenoid valve mounted in the detector enclosure.

    When air is applied to the cylinder, the piston raises the shutter. When air is removed from the cylinder, the spring-loaded piston returns to the down position. The electrical signal to the air solenoid valve is removed when the filler stops rotating, which causes the shutter to close.

    The position of the shutter is shown in two ways: by two shutter-indicators on top of the Inspection Head and through a visual indicator window in the inspection tunnel. RED indicates the shutter is OPEN, GREEN indicates the shutter is CLOSED (i.e., safe).

    One of the two indicators should be on at all times when power is on. If both are off, check for 12 volts at the terminal strips in the source and detector side housings . If the voltage is correct, check the shutter indicator lights.

    If the shutter is inoperative (i.e., green indication shows even when the filler is moving), check the air supply to the shutter.

    If air is present, check for the solenoid drive signal at the TB3 terminal strip in the detector side of the Inspection Head. Test for 12 volts between the red and black wires. The white wire should also be at 12 volts to the black wire unless the solenoid is open circuit. To test for normal operation, go via MASTER MENU SYSTEM SETUP FILL LEVEL SETTINGS GAMMA STATION 1 (Lowfill/Highfill Analysis settings) and set GAMMA AUTO SHUTTER to Open. The signal on the white wire should change from 12 volts to around 0 volts with respect to the black wire. If there is no signal, replace the I/O card.

    When the faulty component has been identified, replace as described in Repair and Replacement Procedures.

    X-Ray EnableThe X-Ray generator is enabled when the ENABLE switch on the top of the head is on the ON position and the RED indicator lamp is illumiinated. The X-ray enable can also be turned on and off manually in the software.

    NOTEThe X-ray enable circuit is tied into the RED LED indicator lamp. If the lamp is failed, defective or removed, the X-ray Generator will not operate.

    Fault LocationGAMMA

    If there is a failure of the Gamma Station 1 or Gamma Station 2 count, check that the inspection triggers havent failed. In order to make the following tests to locate the problem, the filler line must be shut down.

    1. Check the Trigger operation first by going to the Sensor Input Screen. MASTER MENU > DIAGNOSTICS > SENSOR INPUTS. While blocking and unblocking the Container 1 and Container 2 sensors, watch the screen and see if the sensors change state when the sensor is blocked and unblocked. If there is no change in the sensor state, check the LEDs on the sensor to see if it is responding. If the sensor is not responding, replace the sensor. If the sensor is responding, check and/or replace the I/O card.

    2. If the Trigger Sensor is operating properly, remove the access cover on the detector side of the Inspection Head. To open the shutter for testing, go to MASTER MENU > SYSTEM SET-TINGS > FILL LEVEL SETTINGS and touch the LOWFILL (or OVERFILL) button for the failed system. Set GAMMA AUTO SHUTTER to OPEN and STATIC GAMMA TESTING to ON. Verify that there are Gamma Counts. If the Gamma Counts are zero, first check and see if the LED(s) are illuminated on the Dual Detector Box. If the LED(s) are not illuminated, check that the voltages are correct on the connector supplying power to the Dual Detector Box. The Black wire is ground. The Yellow wire is +12 VDC and the Violet wire is -12 VDC in respect to ground. If a voltage is not present, check the breakers in the Main Electronics Unit. Also check the power indicator LEDs on the Sensor Power Supply on the lower right of the FT-100A Ter-minal Strip. If any of the LEDs are not illuminated, replace the Sensor Power Supply.

    3. If the Dual Detector box has not failed, replace the Scintillation Tube(s).

    X-RAY

    If there is a failure of the Inspection Station count, check that the inspection trigger havent failed. In order to make the following tests to locate the problem, the filler line must be shut down.

    1. Check the Trigger operation first by going to the Sensor Input Screen. MASTER MENU > DIAGNOSTICS > SENSOR INPUTS. While blocking and unblocking the Container 1 sen-sor, watch the screen and see if the sensor changes state when the sensor is blocked and unblocked.

    CHAPTER OVERVIEWThis chapter provides the procedures for critical alignments, adjustments, operational checks, gamma station calibration, and Inspection Head height adjustments.

    Most of the procedures in this chapter are to be performed after the completion of a replacement procedure. For additional alignment and calibration information, refer to the FT-100A Filler Management System for Bottles Installation Manual.

    NOTEAlignment and calibration procedures for optional FMS equipment are not included in this manual, but are included in the manuals provided for each particular option.

    CRITICAL ALIGNMENTSFigure 4-1 is a typical bottle layout of the Filler Management System (FMS). The placement of sensors and alignments relative to the filler, closer, Inspection Head, and rejector are critical to how the system operates. When the sensors are not operating or are misaligned, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

    Verify that electrical power is on and connected to each sensor.

    Make sure that each sensor, sensor cable connection, and fittings are secure and tight. Make sure that the sensors are not damaged or have not vibrated loose.

    Check sensor positions.

    Check sensor targets.

    NOTEDetailed sensor placements and alignments are discussed further in the pages that follow.

    SENSORS

    Sensor Description

    Following is a description of the function of each sensor.

    Sensor Operational Check

    See Chapter 1.

    SENSOR FUNCTION

    Filler Valve No. 1 A Proximity sensor mounted to the filler. It monitors the position of Filler Valve No. 1 by detecting Valve No. 1 on each rotation of the filler. By tracking Valve No. 1, the FMS is able to continuously monitor the positions of all the other filler valves.

    System Timing A Proximity sensor, usually mounted on the filler. It provides a pulse for every container pocket as it passes the sensor. The System Timing sensor is the clock that counts bottles (pockets) as the filler/closer rotates.

    Container No. 1 An optical sensor, usually mounted at the Filler Infeed Starwheel. It senses the presence of a bottle in each pocket before the bottle enters the Filler.

    Outfeed An optical sensor mounted at the closer outfeed; it senses each bottle before discharge onto the conveyor. The Outfeed sensor counts bottles as they leave the closer. This count is used for tracking bottles from the closer to the rejector.

    Closer Head No. 1

    A Proximity sensor mounted inside the closer housing. It generates one pulse per closer turret revolution, allowing the FMS to keep track of closer heads during closer sampling. It indicates the position of the closer by detecting the Head No. 1 flag on each rotation of the closer.

    Reject Sensor This sensor, which also serves as the trigger sensor, maintains the container timing for accurate rejection. Rejection occurs when bottles are rejected off of the production line by means of the ProLine Rejector. The Reject sensor is an LED photoelectric detector mounted at the entrance of the Inspection Head tunnel.

    Sensor Alignment

    Filler Valve No. 1 SensorThe Filler Valve No. 1 sensor (Figure 4-2) identifies Filler Valve No. 1. When the target for Valve No. 1 is positioned directly in front of this sensor, a pocket at the outfeed should be centered on the Outfeed sensor. For the stainless steel target, the clearance should be 5.00 mm (0.20 inch).

    Figure 4-2. Alignment of Filler Valve No. 1 and Closer Head No. 1 Sensors

  • Chapter 4: Alignment and Calibration Procedures

    Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04) 4-5

    Closer Head No. 1 Sensor The Closer Head No. 1 sensor (Figure 4-2) identifies Closer Head No. 1. When the target for Head No. 1 is positioned directly in front of this sensor, a pocket at the outfeed should be centered on the Outfeed sensor. For the stainless steel target, the clearance should be 5.00 mm (0.20 inch).

    System Timing SensorThe System Timing sensor (Figure 4-3) is mounted to generate a signal for each pocket as the filler rotates. The System Timing sensor is mounted in line with a target at a clearance of 10 mm (0.4 inch). When the sensor is between two target valves, the pocket at the outfeed should line up with the centerline of the Outfeed sensor. With the filler operating, go to the diagnostic screens and check that all average sensor positions are between 20 to 40 percent. If not, make minor upstream or downstream adjustments in sensor position until these percentage requirements are met.

  • Filler Management System, Bottle Version, Maintenance and Parts Manual

    4-6 Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04)

    Outfeed and Container No. 1 SensorsThe Container No. 1 sensor senses the presence of a bottle in each pocket before the bottle enters the Filler. This sensor is installed at the Filler Infeed starwheel. Similarly, the Outfeed sensor senses the presence of a bottle in each pocket before the bottle is discharged onto the conveyor. Proceed as follows for the Outfeed and Container No. 1 sensors (Figure 4-4):

    1. Determine that bottles will pass directly under the sensor.

    2. Adjust the height of the assembly and lock it with the handle so that the top of the bottle cap is 12 mm (0.5 inch) below the overhead plate.

  • Chapter 4: Alignment and Calibration Procedures

    Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Form 2628 (08/04) 4-7

    Reject/Trigger Sensor The Reject sensor (Figures 4-5), which also serves as the Trigger sensor, maintains the container timing for accurate rejection. Rejection occurs when bottles are rejected off of the production line by means of the Proline Rejector (typically). The Reject sensor is a fiber-optic detector and is mounted on a bracket in front of the Inspection Head tunnel. The sensor must be positioned for the current bottle size. Proceed as follows:

    1. Stop the Conveyor.

    2. Place a complete current size capped bottle on the conveyor centerline in front of the Reject sensor. Verify that the neck of the bottle breaks the beam.

    3. As a last resort, reposition the emitter and receiver sensors to a different mounting hole. If necessary, the height of the sensor mount may be adjusted.

    4. The sensor beam should be in the center of the cap or where the cap diameter is consistent.

    5. Place the capped bottle under the Missing Cap sensor (if installed) and verify that there is 0.65 inch (17mm) clearance (plastic caps) from the top of cap lens of sensor (0.125 inch [3.2 mm] for rolled metal caps and pressed crown caps).

    PLASTIC CAPSCheck that the reject sensor beam is in the center of the cap or where the cap diameter is consistent. Reposition the sensors if necessary to meet this requirment.

    ROLLED METAL CAPSCheck that the reject sensor beam is just below the cap.

    PRESSED CROWN CAPSCheck that the reject sensor beam is just below the cap.

    ROLLED METAL CAPSPlace a capped bottle under the Missing Cap sensor. Check and adjust the sensor in its mount if necessary for 5 mm (0.2 inch) clearance from top of cap to surface of sensor.

    PRESSED CROWN CAPSPlace a capped bottle under the Missing Cap sensor. Check and adjust the sensor in its mount if necessary for 5 mm (0.2 inch) clearance from top of cap to surface of sensor.

    Optical Sensor Adjustments

    Reject Sensor

    NOTE Trigger height must be set before attempting to adjust the Reject Sensor.

    Figure 4-5 shows the mounted reject sensor (emitter/receiver) and the fiber-optic amplifier mounted inside the source side of the Inspection Head. Sensitivity is set by the potentiometer located next to the red LED indicator on the amplifier (Figure 4-8).

    Remove all bottles from the path of the light beam. Turn the control fully CW to set the amplifier at maximum sensitivity. The red LED on the amplifier should be OFF. This will be position B. Counting the turns, turn the control slowly CCW until the red LED goes ON. This will be position A. Set the control to the midpoint between positions A and B counting all turns. This should be the optimum sensitivity setting. Using an opaque object, interrupt the light beam several times to verify the switching point. For some applications, this amount of light energy may be too high and the sensitivity will need to be reduced for proper operation.

    High Cap Sensor (optional)The High Cap sensor is mounted in the same way as the Reject (Trigger) sensor. The fiber-optic amplifier is adjusted as described above.
