      The label material is too thin or the curling is uneven;

      The pressure wheel or brushing device is not fully pressed;

      The label backing glue is not suitable for the material to be attached.

      Troubleshooting and solutions:

      Optimize the angle between the peeling plate and the attachment surface, generally 20-30 degrees;

      Adjust the labeling speed and synchronization mechanism to ensure consistent attachment;

      Check the label supplier and select labels with moderate thickness and viscosity;

      Increase the pressure of the label pressing device or improve the cleanliness of the labeling surface;

      Use label exhaust hole design or anti-bubble adhesive.

      3. The label cannot be peeled off normally or continuously labeled

      Fault manifestation:

      The label cannot fall off the base paper, or multiple labels are continuously output at one time, causing waste.

      Possible reasons:

      The peeling plate is worn or the angle is wrong;

      The peeling strength between the label and the base paper is too large or uneven;

      The traction wheel slips or the tension is unstable;

      The label specification parameters are not set correctly;

      The peeling photoelectric eye cannot accurately sense the label gap.

      Troubleshooting and solutions:

      Check whether the edge of the peeling plate is flat and adjust the angle appropriately;

      Replace label materials with more stable quality;

      Check whether the tension wheel and traction wheel are aging or loose;

      Set appropriate label length parameters;

      Clean or replace the label detection photoelectric sensor.

      4. Missed or repeated labeling

      Fault manifestation:

      Some products are not labeled, or two labels are attached to the same product.

      Possible causes:

      The photoelectric eye position is offset, misjudging the product position;

      Control system program delay or signal interference;

      Label sensor misjudged the gap between the bottom paper;

      Conveyor belt deviates or shakes.

      Troubleshooting and solution:

      Calibrate the product detection photoelectric sensor to avoid occlusion and reflection interference;

      Check whether the PLC logic control has abnormal delays;

      Replace label sensors with higher recognition accuracy;

      Regularly check whether the transmission of the conveying system is stable to avoid jumping.

      5. Label breakage or tearing

      Fault manifestation:

      The label is torn during the peeling process and cannot be fully labeled.

      Possible causes:

      Label tension is too large;

      The edge of the peeling plate is too sharp;

      The label material is too thin, aged or wet;

      The labeling speed is too fast, resulting in uneven traction.

      Troubleshooting and solution:

      Reduce the tension of the tension regulator;

      Check whether the peeling plate has burrs or wear;

      Replace new labels and maintain a dry storage environment;

      Reduce the labeling speed or improve the coordination of the labeling system.

      6. Label deviation or label roll deviation

      Fault manifestation:

      The label deviates from one side, the label is not smooth, or the label roll displacement affects the normal label output.

      Possible reasons:

      The label roll is not placed correctly;

      The label guide rod is not adjusted symmetrically;

      The tension of the unwinding shaft is inconsistent on the left and right;

      The traction wheel is not accurately aligned.

      Troubleshooting and solution:

      Adjust the installation of the label roll to make its axis symmetrical;

      Check the guide wheel trajectory to ensure correct alignment;

      Adjust the tension on both sides of the unwinding shaft to keep it consistent;

      Replace or adjust the traction wheel position.
