Coil & Shear Lines
- Translated coil — sideways drift causes misaligned sheets
- Sheet length variations — shorter or longer sheets cause downstream issues
Depalletizer / Destacker
- Double sheets entering the line undetected
- Tooling damage from stacked sheets passing through together
Coater
- Double sheets passing through undetected
- Misaligned margins — skewed or shifted sheets get poorly placed coating
- Contaminated margins — lacquer on weld areas
- Missing lacquer bands on sheets
- Lacquer overconsumption increasing operating costs
Curing — Wicket Oven
- Double sheets causing jams inside the oven
- Margin contamination carried through from coater
Curing — UV Oven
- Double sheets passing through undetected
- Uncured UV ink — invisible defect that fails downstream quality checks
Slitter
- Double sheets blunting or breaking slitter blades
- Skewed sheets producing off-spec strips
- Sheet translation causing uneven strip widths
- Contaminated plain margins destined for welding
Welding
- Lacquer presence on margins causing weld defects
- Inside-out or inverted blanks entering the welder
- Missing or incomplete lacquer on the weld seam, after side-seam lacquering and before curing
- Can bodies arriving at the welder inside-out or upside-down
