- Servo Motors: Delta ECMA series for filling and capping
- Sensors: Omron E3Z for bottle detection
- Air Line: SMC solenoids (check PSI regulator)
Error Codes
| Error Code | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| E101 | No bottle detected at fill station | Check sensor alignment and clean lens |
| E202 | Fill level timeout | Inspect valve, check for clogs or air pressure loss |
| E303 | Cap missing | Check cap feeder and cap detection sensor |
Maintenance Notes
🛠️ **Weekly**: Clean nozzles, test all sensors, and verify HMI responsiveness.
🛠️ **Monthly**: Check motor mounts, lubricate linear guides, test emergency stop.
