5.1 Production START and STOP
FS10/FS32 is ready for production start when:
 Section 3 has been completed
 The height of the capping head has been set (section 4.2.1)
 and the Power signal is ON
5.2 Starting-up and running
The bottle with cap is placed in the bottle tool, which is activated by pressing it towards the rear of the
machine. The capping head moves down onto the cap and bottle.
The bottle tool activates a micro switch which releases the compressed air; the capping head then
descends on the cap by its own weight. In case something prevents the capping head (e.g. a finger)
in encircling the cap, a stroke will not be achieved. When the capping head is in position over the cap,
a micro switch is activated in order to activate the jaws.
The jaws crimp the cap on the bottle and then the capping head returns to its upper position.
