No vial no filling system is provided to avoid the wastage of costly powder, while the machine is running in ideal condition and the vial is not present below the powder wheel.
Try to run the machine keep the minimum vials then see when the vials are over the dosing is still in operation or not.
Vial Separator Proximity Switch
If during production any vial comes with an over diameter or over height then any of the three clutches will get operated and through that signal machine will get OFF.
Try to put some vials, which are of over diameter, and see the results.

No stopper in the chute machine stop sensor.
This sensor is used to sense the presence of a rubber stopper in the chute. In case during the production time if there is no rubber stopper present in the chute then it will stop the machine.
Try to run the machine with a minimum amount of rubber stoppers in the chute. You will see that once the rubber stoppers are over in the chute, the sensors indicate and stop the machine.

VERIFICATION OF EFFECT OF POWER FAILURE ON THE EQUIPMENT:
Objective
To verify that the automatic four-head vial sealing machine reverts to a failsafe condition in the event of power failure and that it returns to a specified state when power is restored and can be restarted.
Test Procedure
Start the operation of the machine in auto mode as per the SOP for a set time duration of 10 minutes. Approximately midway through the set operation time (4-6 minutes), switch OFF the total power supply to the equipment for 3 minutes. Restore the power supply and restart the machine by pressing the start button (the equipment should not be reset) to record whether the equipment starts normally. Measure the total operational in the table below.
Acceptance criteria
The machine stops in safe and secure conditions in the event of power failure. When the power supply is restored the machine should not start till the operator intervenes and restarts the equipment. The machine should restart normally, without any problems. The total elapsed time (total run time + power failure duration) should be equal to the total time duration on the stopwatch. The timer should start operating from the time just before the power failure.
