What to record for plate bounce on a cosmetics carton

For plate bounce on a cosmetics carton, at least record the around-the-cylinder position and which color. Miss any one and the next shift can't tell whether to change the part. A bar at a fixed position after the gap or the gripper.

Plate bounce on a cosmetics carton

The note is for the next shift

Writing only "there is plate bounce" is useless. A bar at a fixed position after the gap or the gripper. You also need the location. If a cosmetics carton hits the brand mark or a brand-color solid, the note has to say whether you stopped or passed it.

What to write down

Item What it's for If you leave it out
Record the around-the-cylinder position and which color. Match it to the roller, the blade or the material Next time you guess from scratch
Metre count or sheet number Find this spot again The complaint won't match
Whether it hit the brand mark or a brand-color solid Decide whether to pass or stop You only keep a nice picture

Hand this to the next shift

  1. Record the around-the-cylinder position and which color.
  2. Write whether it landed on the brand mark or a brand-color solid.
  3. Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
