Electrical and Pneumatic Requirements

Before starting the installation, it is critical to verify the electrical requirements based on the machine model. For example, a CSEG11L-3HV6 requires 208 VAC, 3-phase power.

The voltage and phase configuration can be identified by the model designation:

• No "V" in the model: 110 VAC, 1-phase

• V2: 208 VAC, 1-phase

• V4: 480 VAC, 3-phase

• V6: 208 VAC, 3-phase

Once the required power configuration has been verified based on the machine model, confirm that the customer has the following utilities and installation requirements available before proceeding:

1. 208/220 VAC, 3-phase: Customer must provide a power cable with four conductors: R, S, T, and E (ground).

2. 480 VAC, 3-phase: Customer must provide a power cable with four conductors: R, S, T, and E (ground).

3. Compressed Air: A clean, dry compressed-air supply must be provided.

4. Air Pressure and Flow: Supply pressure must be 100 PSI with a minimum flow rate of 10+ SCFM.

5. Air Hose: The air supply hose must have a minimum inside diameter (ID) of 1/2 inch.

6. Air Inlet Connection: The machine air inlet requires a 1/2-inch male quick-disconnect plug.

Important: Verify the machine model and corresponding electrical requirements before connecting power. Applying an incorrect voltage or phase configuration may result in equipment damage or unsafe operating conditions.

3. Blinking Yellow - ​Low on tape (Slow Freq) or Downstream Full (Fast Freq)​​

4. Blinking Red w/ Buzzer - Machine Faulted 

PS. If the red light is blinking, the machine will stop completely. If the yellow light is blinking, the machine will continue operating; however, this indicates a warning condition. Check the remaining tape supply and verify that the outfeed conveyor is not blocked or obstructed.

CSEG Boxes

The following is a list of standard box types commonly used in the egg industry that can be processed on a CSEG machine:

• 5 Dozen: Detected by 1 of the 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• 9 Dozen: Detected by 2 of the 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• 12 Dozen: Detected by 3 of the 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• 24 Dozen: Detected by 3 of the 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• 15 Dozen: Detected by all 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• 30 Dozen: Detected by all 4 sensors in the stack photo-eye section.

• RPC Rectangular Basket: Detected by the reed switch located on the indexer centering-arm cylinder.

• Display Case: Detected by the ultrasonic sensor located on the top side of the indexer section.

Box Detection Sequence

The detection sequence is critical because each box type has its own machine configuration based on the specific combination of sensors triggered as the box passes through the stack photo-eye section.

The sensor detection pattern is used by the control system to identify the box type being processed. Once the box type is identified, the corresponding configuration is selected, and the machine applies the appropriate folding and sealing parameters required for that specific box.

Therefore, the sequence and combination of sensors triggered by each box are critical to proper box identification and machine operation. Incorrect sensor detection or an unexpected detection sequence may result in the machine selecting the wrong box configuration and applying incorrect operating parameters.

Air Configuration

The following list provides the default air pressure settings for the machine. If necessary, the air pressure may be reduced when the machine's operation is too aggressive or the pneumatic movements are excessively forceful.

​​How to Navigate the HMI

Some CSEG units are equipped with an HMI touchscreen that provides access to various machine functions and diagnostic tools. From the HMI, you can monitor machine status, view system information, manually actuate machine components, modify parameter settings, configure box settings, and access additional machine functions.
