Ribbon slitting machine operation specification: 5 key points to avoid human error

The following are the 5 key points to avoid human error in the operation specification of the ribbon slitting machine for reference:

1. Strictly inspect the equipment and materials before operation

• Equipment status confirmation: check whether the key components such as power supply, air pressure, tools, and guide rails of the slitting machine are normal to ensure that there is no abnormal noise or looseness.

• Material check: Confirm that the model, width and length of the ribbon are consistent with the production order to avoid using the wrong material.

• Environmental Preparation: Clean the work surface to ensure that there is no interference from debris and maintain a dry and dust-free environment.

2. Specification parameter setting and two-factor authentication

• Parameter input: Accurately input parameters such as slitting width, tension, speed and so on according to process requirements, and it is forbidden to estimate based on experience.

• Two-factor authentication: Another operator or squad leader doubles the parameters and confirms that they are correct before starting the device.

• Trial cutting process: first carry out small batch test cutting, measure the size of the finished product and record, and then mass production after qualification.

3. Standardized knife loading and safe operation

• Knife Loading Specifications:

◦ Use a special tool to install the blade and make sure the blade is tightened without tilting.

◦ Check the sharpness of the blade and replace it in time if it is seriously worn.

• Safety:

◦ Wear cut-resistant gloves during operation, and do not touch the blade or moving parts with your bare hands.

◦ It is strictly forbidden to open the protective cover or reach into the danger area when the equipment is running.

4. Real-time monitoring and exception handling

• Process inspection: Check the slitting quality (e.g., edge burrs, crimps, etc.) every 30 minutes and record data.

• Abnormal response: If the ribbon offset, tension abnormality, etc. are found, the machine will be stopped immediately, and the machine can be continued after troubleshooting.

• Prohibition of illegal operations: Do not forcibly adjust parameters or manually correct deviations during equipment operation.

5. Handover and record management

• Clear handover: verbal + written handover of equipment status, unfinished orders and precautions during shift change.

• Complete records: Fill in the "Slitting Production Record Form", including batches, parameters, abnormal conditions, etc., for easy traceability.

• Post-inspection: Check the quantity of finished products and label information after completion to avoid mixing or labeling errors.

Additional tips

• Training and onboarding: Personnel who have not been trained or qualified in assessment are prohibited from operating independently.

• Fatigue management: 10 minutes of rest for 2 hours of continuous work to avoid misoperation caused by fatigue.

Through the above specifications, the risk of human error can be significantly reduced, and production efficiency and product qualification rate can be improved.
